The Scene – Named after the ancient civilization that was centered in today's Lebanon, this restaurant serves Middle Eastern specialties in an atmosphere that is both low-key and elegant. The avuncular Hussein Khazaal runs a homey dining room, roaming from table to table, eager to prepare a personal meal for the neatly attired (but not overdressed) clientele. Add in white linens and a view of Elliott Bay, and it's no wonder this West Seattle fine-dining institution has been attracting a crowd for 34 years. – – The Food – Watching the bright Seattle sun sink behind the…

Heaven on Earth
by lumba
The food here is on another planet from anything I have ever tasted (and I've sampled the finest restaurants in the country from French Laundry, to Perse, to Masa). They all pale by comparison. I was on business in Seattle when a friend colleague recommended Phoenecia, he said, and I quote, " You will be speechless". He was wrong, I can't stop singing its praises. I went back the next night and it was even better! Bring an appetite, and put your faith in the owner when he offers to order for you - he is after-all - a magician!
- Pros: food, service, view, value
- Cons: none

overpriced
by kakkmontana
I enjoy trying new restaurants. I especially enjoy Mediterranean food. Not only is the food way overpriced, but the drinks are too. My friend and I ordered wine by recommendation of the waiter. It was terrible wine and full of sediment. Which as he poured it and served it was obvious. He ignored it and charged us $9 a glass! In addition, when I pay for an expensive meal I at least expect the facility to be clean. It wasn't. The bathrooms were especially filthy. I will never go back.
- Pros: view, location
- Cons: overpriced, dirty

Great customer service
by kenyonty
My husband, 7-year-old daughter, and I went to Phoenicia last night. As I said in the title, the service was great. The waiter asked if she wanted a pizza, but she said she's rather have pasta. He immediately brought a large plate of pasta with red sauce. But it tasted not very good at all. It tasted very sweet, as if someone had put a tablespoon of sugar in it. My husband ordered the broiled lamb and I ordered the broiled chicken. Both the meats were dry and tasteless. I was very disappointed. Our daughter wouldn't eat the pasta. We ate our meat, but didn't like it very much. And to top it all off, the price was very high. We won't be back.
- Pros: Ambience, Service
- Cons: Tasteless food
