| - Last night, I had the pleasure of having dinner with two dear friends at the Phoenix Grill. This restaurant is very big, and steady, but not swamped. I will definitely consider it for large groups, since It seems that it would be easier to get in.
The waitress was awesome. She was friendly, bubbly and competent, and we joked all night with her.
I had the red Zinfandel wine, with a berry quinoa salad. It didn't look as good as Kendra's chicken quesadilla, but I forced myself to make a healthy choice, since this time of year lends itself to lots of overeating.
The salad had ginger flavored dressing, which I loved, and more spinach than quinoa, which is better for my waistline. The fresh berries were blueberries, which are my favorite.
This restaurant has standard American cuisine. As you can see from my menu choice, they do have healthy vegetarian options. I also topped the salad with shrimp for $4 more, and I received a healthy portion.
The quality and atmosphere is casual, which makes it a great family restaurant. We also overheard a poor soul being subjected to a loud happy birthday song from all the staff. So you may want to skip this place if you are looking for a romantic dinner. However, good food and variety, with fast seating and good service is what you can expect here for your more casual dinners out.
