The Phoenician Restaurant

"Amazing prime rib, cooked pink and perfect just the way I like it. Love that the restaurant owner Bassam works the room saying hello to guests like Abe and Joey did at Bishops. Very old fashioned and fun. I don’t get out to eat much but when I do I go here, for the classic experience."

"Erika wasn't great. 3 couples in our party. "Can we have separate checks?" "I'd rather not. You didn't sit together." They were out of chicken. Chicken? Seriously? Tenderloin Tips (rare and medium) were both tough. (Stuffed shrimp was OK.) The place reminded me of the El Morocco in Worcester, a hot spot that went downhill and out of business in 1994. Not going back."

"Highly recommend using the Phoenician for catering desserts! I ordered baklava, date cookies and sesame cookies for my wedding and they were DELICIOUS! There was not one leftover and everyone loved them. I ordered through Micheline and the process was very smooth. The family is extremely kind and accommodating! 10/10!"

"Went exclusively for the prime rib. Had the king cut and was so.juicy and tender. Went with wife son and daughter in law. Will travel 1 hr for such a Great cut of beef"

"Walked right in sat at the bar. The bar tender was a riot! She had us laughing and feeling good the whole time we were there. She's really good at her job. The food was also quite the experience! I had the lamb chops, they were done to perfection. Their grape leaves are one ff the best I've had. I'm so happy I went here. Will definitely be going back. It was all worth it! Can't believe this place has been here in Haverhill this whole time and I never knew. Can't wait to go back soon!"
