The Phoenix - Buffalo

Solid five stars! Food is outstanding everything we tried was top quality. This food is made with both skill and love. I had the Chicken Milanese sandwich and was blown away at the beautiful flavor combination. Burgers are cooked over a flame and have that perfect char that makes an outstanding burger. Fries are cut in house. Even the arugula was good (the nice tiny ones that have good flavor, not the huge bitter ones that are thrown on as an after thought at many places . Key lime pie is excellent (if you have room! . Servers were friendly and helpful, happy to questions about the menu, and quick with water refills (thank you! . There is a small parking lot around back. It was too cold for the patio to be open when I visited but it looks like a great spot when it warms up. The dining room is small and comfortable with local art on the walls and a relaxing vibe. I will very very happily eat here again. The only challenge will be whether to try something else on the delicious looking menu or getting that amazing sandwich again.

We were welcomed warmly immediately upon entering and seated at a nice table in the corner. Specials were posted on the board as well as explained to us by our server. They have beer and some cocktails. We ordered the spinach bread appetizer special which was very good. I ordered a cup of the black bean soup which was much better than I expected. ÀOnly $4 for a cup. My partner and I shared the horseradish salmon which came with wild rice and really good green beans. There was a lot of horseradish, so we took off most of it but it was good. We ended with a homemade piece of key lime pie which was very tart and good. Great place. We came in the winter, but it sounds like they have a really nice patio in the summer. Seems like there were a lot of regulars. There were a lot of people getting the fish fry as we were there on a Friday.

I have been to The Phoenix twice,the last time this past Saturday. We were seated on the patio which my guests liked very much,but the inside is quite nice too. I admit I ordered the same thing as before pasta with broccoli,red peppers and onions dressed perfectly) because I don't eat meat and it was delicious. My 2 guests were very happy with their food as well. For dessert I had the strawberry rhubarb pie while my guests split an ice cream pie. Also very good. The service was excellent,very friendly and professional. So I have been there twice,undisappointed twice, The Phoenix is a keeper in my book.

Went to a Yelp event on Amherst Street in Buffalo so I looked for a restaurant close by. The Phoenix was only a couple businesses away and had great reviews. I ordered their Fish Fry and my wife ordered their burger with a side salad instead of fries. I started with their Black Bean Soup. Delicious!! My wife had their Bang Bang Shrimp. Four large shrimp in a delicious spicy sauce. My fish fry was the best I've had in Buffalo. Crisp, delicious batter and a large fresh fish inside. Served with some terrific FF , coleslaw and macaroni salad. My wife loved her burger and salad. We also had their Watermelon Martini. Yum They have a nice outdoor seating area and a cute bar like atmosphere inside. Service was spot on . Will definitely put this as one of my favorites!!!

We enjoyed this place. We were the only guests on a Tuesday night. They had a nice patio, but it wasn't open. The food was real good. We had the appetizer eggplant stack, I had the chicken Milanese sandwich. The French fry's were legit top 3 on buffalo. Fresh cut, crispy, good flavor. Chicken sandwich was moist with a ton of chicken and nice greens. Chocolate Bundt cake was nice and moist as well. Or server Mia did a good Job. A little out of way location but there is parking next door.
