We were looking for a quick meal before a movie and didn't want to spend a lot of money or get dressed up. I wanted a place with some local color. Phoenix turned out to be a great pick. I had to save gathering the history for a later date (with more time), but I did see and taste a typical Saturday night..I liked! Very casual,informal atmosphere...typical local Ma & PA restauarant. But the food was a little more than the standard local stuff and deserves a mention. My baked orange roughy was a steak, not filet and was seasoned and baked perfectly. It reminded me a great deal of lobster. Mom's fried oyster's (a favorite of hers) were also excellent and the portion was large. Rod's prime rib looked more like half of a cow. It was huge!! And it melted in your mouth...real top quality stuff. Rich ordered Shrimp Scampi but the shrimp looked small and the sauce was a little greasier than I would have thought. We had a choice of a side order of spaghetti ,potato or broccoli & carrots. The vegetables also were cooked to perfection...not oversteamed at all! We received a tossed salad with choice of dressing but as time was limited we skipped dessert. The bar is stocked with favorites and a nice selection of wine by the glass. I plan to return here again on my next visit.
