The Phoenix Restaurant

Stopped in after a round at Marion GC. We were seated in a booth on the bar side, which is great…read morefor watching TVs or people! I had my eye on the garlic prime rib special, which I enjoyed with mashed taters and pickled beets. My starter was the thick clam chowder along with rolls and dipping oil. My friend had the eggplant parm, which she gave high marks to. I had a 40 minute drive home or I'd have ordered the blueberry martini or any number of signature cocktails that struck my fancy. Next time! This is a place frequented by numerous locals and the bartender seemed to know everyone by name! The menu is extensive from bar pizza to seafood to hearty sandwiches. I'll definitely be back again when I'm in the area.

Ok, listen, if you don't like people, don't be a waitress. I cannot believe the experience I had in…read morea restaurant with great food that I have loved for years. It started to go wrong when the waitress pushed the hot plate into my arm to get it in front of me. I didn't know she was there. I think I was turned looking into my handbag. Instead of saying excuse me, she just pushed it into my arm. Are you serious?? She was holding the plate with a towel. No smile. No you're welcome when told thank you. I was a waitress. I understand the job. She does not. The final blow was when someone in my party started choking. I jumped up and said help. No one came over. My waitress did not come over. She saw. A young bus girl was the only person possessing a brain and empathy. The person who had been choking ran to the men's room. No one from the restaurant approached or asked him if he was ok. Do better. Your establishment has a responsibility to be prepared and have a plan for a crisis like I have described. I don't need to spend over $100 to be treated poorly by an angry waitress. I always tip well. Even if the service might not be the best because I've been there and a waitress doesn't always have control over everything. You're lucky you got any kind of a tip from me! I won't be going back to Mike's even with the great food.

As a native New Englander, I don't say this lightly: this was one of the best seafood meals we've…read morehad in a very long time. Phenomenal oysters and shrimp; seared tuna was stellar! We made the rookie mistake of showing up without a reservation on a Tuesday night, and the restaurant was packed. The hostess, who was in training, handled the situation with such poise. She was warm, thoughtful, and transparent about the 45-minute wait, which we genuinely appreciated. What really set the tone, though, was Will. I later learned he was one of the owners, but you never would have guessed it. He wasn't standing back overseeing the dining room; instead, he was in it, working just as hard as everyone else. He welcomed us personally, empathized, and even offered us a cocktail while we waited. As we sat nearby, we watched him gently coach the hostess in training. There was humor, kindness, and encouragement, balanced with clear expectations: simple reminders like making sure every guest is greeted the moment they walk through the door. It was leadership by example. He carried himself with humility, intention, and a work ethic that he clearly models for his entire team. Watching those interactions made me appreciate the restaurant even before we sat down to eat. By the end of the meal, the wait didn't matter one bit. In fact, after experiencing both the hospitality and the food, we completely understood why the restaurant was full on a Tuesday night. The service was exceptional. I'll update this review once I remember our server's name because she absolutely deserves recognition. She was attentive, incredibly hardworking, and gracefully managed not only our table but the many families with children around us. The manager also stopped by to check on us, and it felt entirely sincere. The model started at the top and was clearly part of their ethos. They were so generous which is why we recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area! The food was every bit as impressive as the service. The shrimp cocktail featured some of the largest, freshest shrimp I've had in years--perfectly chilled and absolutely delicious. The oysters were impeccably fresh and beautifully presented. Every dish reinforced why New England seafood has the reputation it does. Great restaurants serve great food. Exceptional restaurants create a culture that guests can actually feel. This place does both. We'll absolutely be back--and next time, we'll be smart enough to make a reservation.
