Delish! We drove around looking for a good steak without a wait and ended up at the Phoenician. With the restaurant concept by Jean Georges, we knew we were in for a treat.
The only reasons I'm giving 4 stars are two-fold:
The shrimp cocktail was overpriced - $18 for 5 shrimp? C'mon...yummy but lame.
And
The desert menu is seriously lacking - I was expecting to see at least one amazing thing and they were all boring: cake, apple fritter, cheesecake, gelato...boring!!
Other than that, everything was amazing. I'm getting over a cold and they brought me out my own tea kettle which sat next to the table and stayed hot for two hours. And the finishing salt they provided in a tiny bowl was a great touch!
Order a steak, it'll be cooked perfectly with a great crust on it. Have them bring all the sauces too; their bernaise is ridiculously fluffy - they infuse it with liquid nitrogen!! And the beurre blanc is perfect and delicate.
YUM (PS, if you get Mercedes as your server, you're in for a treat! She's amazing!)
