Had the queen cut prime rib and it was huge,more than I could eat,alittle tough but tasty. Two people in my party of five got the lamb on a stick,and could not eat most of it as it was TOOOOO tough.We told our waitress,who had been great all nite,and although she offered to bring something else,we thought it was to late.Perhaps we should have spoke up early.

Anyway we still had to pay for them,and our dogs had a great snack later.Will not go back.

My husband and I frequently dine at the Phoenician Restaurant and have always received great service and delicious meals. Anytime we have guests we always bring them to the Phoenicain because we know we will have a great meal. If there is ever a problem which usually there is not it is taken care of immediately. I always recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice place to go for either a special occassion or just a night out.

I recently went to the Phoenician Restaurant- the first time. I used to go to Bishop's in Lawrence, MA with family & was glad to hear some of the chefs from the old Bishop's opened Phoenician. The food was awesome - just as good as Bishop's! I had the Assortment plate for one. It was definitely a generous portion! The Grape Leaves, stuffed Cabbage, cooked Kibbe were tasty & well-flavored. The rice was soft & the Lima Beans in sauce w/lamb was very good. The only way I like Lima Beans! The beans were not dry, either! I took a good amount home - about 1/2 or more. I don't get back to Haverhill often, but it we as well worth the trip! The move from Salem, NH to Haverhill, MA was a smart move, too! I'm glad the former Pat's Beef House became the Phoenician & Haverhill now has such a wonderful restaurant to enjoy their atmosphere & food! We didn't wait a long time for our food & the waitress was courteous. I completely recommend it to any!
