| - Feeney's is a tradition in my family...It is my mom's favorite place to grab a bite. Let chomp down and Opa Opa Opa at Feeneys..
~The Good~
Service. Hooo boy, the service. As soon as you walk in its like your family is welcoming you in. I am not a big "don't touch me bro" kinda guy, but the hostess (and I presume owner) is a sweetheart. She took me by the shoulder, made me feel amazing and took me to my table. I had a bunch of flowers for my mother and she made sure I got a big pitcher of water to dunk them in. I did not ask but she was persistent I needed the pitcher. Now its one thing if the service is great, but its another if they provide smiles but crap food...not here.
I got the Pan Fried trout in Lemon Caper Sauce...out of this world. I rarely get fried foods, but it wasn't drenched in oil. The sauce was a bit salty adding the capers in, and really meshed well with the trout. I will try my damnedest to replicate that recipe now. I love trout, and boy did they hit a home run. The salad bar which is attached with almost all meals here also hit the spot and was delicious. Happy hour was available, with almost all drinks being 3 bucks, including wine and well drinks. I got some Cabernet, which tasted about right, not bad, not amazing, just right for the dinner I had.
As for the ambiance and mood, I love it. Quiet and comfy, the lights are perennially dimmed, creating a cozy atmosphere. The staff who are quick to refill drinks and always helpful keep the ambiance rolling strong. I also like the slight hints towards Greece on both their menu and on the murals inside. Very much an independently owned restaurant vibe, which as you know well I really really dig.
Finally, their menu is eclectic, especially seafood. They have 4 seperate fishes on their main menu at any time: Pike, Trout, Salmon, Orange Roughy. That's pretty damn good for a small mom and pop place. They fly the Pike in directly from the lakes of Minnesota fresh, which is great. Overall, strong food selection as well outside of seafood, with dishes like Beef Wellington and London Broil to note.
~The Bad~
Its an older location gang. You see all the reviews mentioning the former tenants and such. You can go outside, look at the roof and notice its older right away. Inside the walls are mainly filled with murals and it is dimly lit. Some people may not like this set up...actually I know a ton of people who hate any place relatively quaint and dark like this. Too bad for you. Also the prices are a bit high...$17.99 for my trout dinner? A bit much. They have to make their money somehow, and fish spoils quickly so I get it...but still, for trout? Oh well, thats my only real gripe.
~The Downlow~
I saved the best for last: Their Happy Hour. This place has a spectacular happy hour guys. Every day is a new food special, so you never will go a day without a real kick ass special. Some days it isn't a price special, but a different food item. For example they had Walleye Dynamite the other day, which my father said was very good. Their Tuesday (I believe) Burger Special is especially of note...very inexpensive.
They get 4 stars for strong service, quaint ambiance, Great Happy Hours/Daily Specials, and a good selection on the menu. Enjoy a Phoenix tradition and stop by Feeney's!
