I recently visited Richmond to attend my son's graduation from the Medical College of Virginia. I was so proud to have a physician in the family. Afterward, my entourage of family and friends went to the Phoenician Restaurant to celebrate this wonderful occasion(it was recommended to us by a Professor of the Medical School). Our experience was beyond our expectations. From the moment we entered, our entire party was treated with the utmost respect. Although our party was quite large, the staff graciously accomodated us and gave us an area to ourselves. The ambience of the establishment was impeccable, as was the service. But the best part was the food! The host, Mr. Kadi, was informed that no one in our party had experienced Lebanese food before. He graciously offered to order for us and I am glad we took him up on his generosity. From the first course to the dessert, our palates were treated to such wonderful cuisine. I had never had a Lebanese beer before, but at the Phoenician, it was available. And quite good. All in all, everyone in my party was totally impressed and grateful for such a fantastic dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant, and only wish it was located in my hometown of Delray Beach, Florida. We will definitely return!
