Restaurants near Dai Bosatsu Zendo Kongo-ji

Lets start with the good. From the start. 8PM res. they needed a few min to get us a table so we ordered drinks. We both got the Seasonal Mules my daughter got the Esspresso martini. All excellent. The APPs we got the Burratta. Amazing. I got the 8OZ filet. It was small but on point. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. The house steak sauce is outstanding. Seemed like a demi with some balsamic. My wife and the 2 kids got the NY strip 2 of the 3 where good. One was honestly not up to par. It tasted like a piece of meat from shoprite. Very little marbling and it had a large fat cap. None to me where what I would consider high end aged "prime" beef. More like butcher grade choice. I would have complained but my wife and kids ate it and enjoyed it for the most part. But I had a NY Strip from outback last week that was far better. The loaded potato was great. The waiter Tim made the expierience a great one.Had it not been for him I would have demanded a new steak at least for my wife. Since I ate half of it. After the filet. It was a huge let down. Dessert was great. Marscapone Cheesecake was great. Although I dont believe it was made with marscapone except the shot they put on top. Regard less it was great. The chocolate cake my kids said was outstanding.

As close to perfect a dining experience as can be had. We’re so fortunate to have a restaurant of this quality 100 miles north of NYC. Intimate. Warm and friendly. High food quality. Unpretentious. Thank you so much for a beautiful Christmas Eve dining experience.

The Phoenician Steakhouse is our go-to spot when we are in the Catskills. The service is consistently friendly and the food reliably delicious. The owner, Mike, can often be seen in the kitchen cooking and overseeing the food preparation. We have our favorite dishes — the beet salad and panko crusted mozzarella, and the steaks, pappardelle bolognese and osso bucco ravioli. And of course the tiramisu. But any new thing we try such as last night’s squash soup and clam chowder, are also winners. In the summer we love sitting on the back patio.

Our experience was top-notch! Every aspect from being greeted by the hostess to the atmosphere, scrumptious meal and exceptional service made our Thanksgiving one to remember.

Excellent service and food. enjoy the weekly additions to the menu.
