| - My wife and I ate here as part of a package for the Mystere show.
The decor is actually quite beautiful and comfortable, without distracting from the main attraction, the food.
We arrived early and sat at the bar, where the bartenders were friendly and prompt. We actually tried to go back to the bar after the show, but the bar was full by then.
As part of the package, we offered selections for 1 appetizer, 1 main entree and one dessert each from a specific menu for the package.
Appetizer- Grade: A
I had the Lobster corn chowder, it was creamy and flavorful. Personally, I would have liked an element of spice in it, but I understand that not everyone would enjoy that. I emptied the bowl. My wife had the Caesar Salad. She orders these everywhere, but Phil's stood out for its flavorful dressing and she said she enjoyed the whole leafs of Romaine that she could cut herself. I would not have enjoyed the whole leaf salad myself. She did not eat the piece of anchovy on top. I tried a bite and the salad was cold and had a great acidity and zest. As others have posted, they also served a bread that had bacon and cheese. The first one I ate when it was still hot, so it was very good. I ate a second piece after it had cooled and it was not as good, so eat the bread when it's hot.
Entree- Grade: B
I ordered the Halibut with Shrimp. The Halibut was crusted with breadcrumbs. While not, my first choice for cooking this type of fish, it was very good. But the crust made the halibut eat more like a fish stick. The shrimp were in a creamy sauce that was very tasty. And the beetroot risotto on the bottom was very flavorful. If you don't like the taste of beets don't order this. But the risotto paired nicely with both the halibut and the shrimp. My wife ordered the 6 oz fillet mignon with mashed potatoes and asparagus. She said the fillet was not as tender as she would have liked, but had very good flavor. Overall, she said she said it was very good, but neither great, nor bad.
Dessert- Grade A
After a very good meal, I was pleasantly surprised by the Cappuccino Creme Brulee. If you've never had creme brulee (a cold pudding/custard creme with burnt sugar on top), do yourself a favor and introduce it into your life NOW! For established lovers of this dessert, when you find a good one, it is especially nice. At Phil's, I would describe it like a very good coffee flavored candy, in creme Brulee form. A great way to end any meal. I will also finish by saying that the service was stellar, as we never went more than a few minutes between courses and our glasses never reached half empty.
Overall, I would recommend anyone looking to book tickets to the Mystere show to consider the dinner + show tickets package. I felt that I got my money's worth for a very good meal and an entertaining show. Or if you want to select from the full menu, you could eat at Phil's before the show on your own as it's right around the corner from the box office less than 1 min walk.
