Classic corner pub and Live Music venue in Brunswick. Huge pub meals & wood fire pizza, good tap beer, great quality music in the scenic front bar....
If you've not checked it out, it's worth an evening or arvo venture. Open Mic every Tuesday from 6PM, live music session every Sunday from 2PM.
Wow im beside myself, ok to start.
What a lovely man Franko is He greets everyone with that "old Italian Charm " its like eating at his own home .. The staff are so attentive and pleasant. . The food is to die for omg omg the Ossobucco is heaven on a plate . Love this place and highly recommend dining there .
A wonderful welcome from attentive staff. Tradition and innovation, and above all, authenticity. You really should try The Phoenix! We do ... often!!
Great food and service!
Food is excellent and mainly Italian including pizzas. Seafood were lovely and fresh and tables were covered in pristine white tablecloths.
Went as a large group and all were happy. Good bang for your bucks!
Love the seafood platter! Massive food amount and the service was great! The seafood was very fresh and taste good! Purchase the voucher from Groupon, 69 for two people. What a bargain!
Absolutely magnificent food and service with outstanding value food and wine. I discovered this little gem just walking past and wasn't disappointed. The owner oversees everything and the atmosphere is so warm and friendly.
Came here with the Groupon seafood voucher. First impressions is that this place was quite fancy with their table clothes and wine glasses all out and folded white napkins. Was really impressed with the amount and quality of seafood given to us. I felt that I got more value than what the voucher cost. You get so much, Moreton Bay bugs a whole fish, 2 fillets of fish, octopus, oysters, scallops, calamari, prawns in sauce, crab (a whole aquarium!) all cooked well not overcooked and best of all it all came out fast within 15 minutes of us sitting down. The service was good too, the two girls were attentive to all tables and consistently replaced our waste plates for shells and stuff so that they never piled up to much which I thought was A+. I don't know about the rest of the menu but I would not hesitate to buy the voucher again if I'm feeling for a seafood feast!

Liked the elegant setting of the restaurant with white tablecloths, a nice spot for date night or an intimate gathering. Service was impeccable, there were three waitresses and they were all very dedicated to their role and incredibly attentive. Throughout the meal we were asked at least 2-3 times if everything was alright and if we needed any more drinks etc. The water came with ice and a slice of lemon per glass, and mine even came with a straw. How thoughtful :) We had garlic bread, rib eye steak, whole grilled flounder and a risotto marinara. The flounder was the best dish out of all - it was well-cooked, flavoursome and good value. The rib eye however was a bit of a disaster. The chef must've forgotten about the timing and totally overcooked it (we asked for medium) with one side of the steak very burnt. The risotto marinara was average, it lacked some sort of flavour punch and was kind of watery. Perhaps the food tonight was only a minor inconsistency so I might come again sometime to try other dishes (the $10 and $15 dishes look pretty tempting).
I found this place while walking down Sydney Road. A sign outside the restaurant advertised $10 and $15 meals so we went inside to check it out. I was expecting a pubbby set-up but instead we were met with proper tables with white tablecloths! A friendly waiter took us to our table. We ordered herb bread as a starter, I had the gnocchi and my partner ordered a pizza. The food was delicious and plentiful. So much so that we had to take the remainder of our meals home. The bill came to $55 for our food and two drinks. Hard to beat that for a proper meal in Brunswick unless it's a pub. The friendly service topped it off.
Stepped into this Italian restaurant because I saw they had an interesting seafood platter from their window .
Well , every other table ordered the seafood platter because they have got voucher from Groupon or OurDeal , great price from $69-$89 depends on if you choose with or without lobster. Great deal indeed !
However as we didn't have any voucher , we decided to leave the seafood platter to next time . The main chef strongly recommended this wagu beef steak which weighs 1200gm together with three shares of vegetables , cost at $98 . Not bad at all.
Not only looking good , the taste of the steak is absolutely yummy ! Red wine sauce and I also ordered English masters sauce . Well, I am a spicy lover .
Service is great ! I definitely will recommend it to my friends and myself will go back to try their seafood platter !
This review is based on my personal experience at the time of visit .
My husband and I had lunch and dinner at the PHOENIX. Lunch was great. The SEAFOOD PLATTER for dinner was the best we have ever had. The MANAGER is fantastic, and the service is outstanding.
