    Sonja was a fabulous server. Our service rating is reflective of the new managing-partners decision to no longer provide the table shaker for cocktails, and the bar manager’s response to our inquiry “why the change” (matter of fact, and a bit dismissive). We’ve been longtime clients and one of the unique offerings of PCG was the table shaker for cocktails. The food was not our typical experience. The ribs were a bit dry and not fully warmed. The fish special was ok… fish quality was good, sauce was not a good complement to the meal.

    "Kathy, thanks so much for the feedback and for being longtime supporters of PCG — that really means a lot to us. We're thrilled to hear Sonja took great care of you; she's definitely a gem on our team. We hear you on the cocktail shaker change. Clearly, we could’ve done a better job and honored your request and explained the "why" behind it in a more thoughtful way. As for the food — we’re sorry to hear it missed the mark. That’s not the experience we want for anyone, especially our regulars. We’re sharing your notes with the kitchen so we can get things dialed back in. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this, and we hope to see you again soon so we can give you the PCG experience you’ve come to expect. Best, Dennis Shaw Owner, Phoenix City Grille

    Phoenix City Grill has been a consistently great place to eat for more than 20 years! Sunday Brunch menu is amazing and the only thing I wish was that they would put their griddle cakes back on the menu!!!

    We had a wonderful meal last night. The specials of the evening, swordfish and a lemon pasta with seafood were both delicious and our service was excellent.

    I ordered the short ribs from the main menu. The ribs were decent but the mashed potatoes that came with the meal were extremely garlicy. I sampled 2 red wines and they were both very sour so I chose to drink water instead.
    Phoenix City GrilleResponded on 3 April 2025
    Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. While we’re glad you enjoyed the short ribs, we’re sorry to hear that the mashed potatoes and wine selections didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to balance flavors in our dishes, and our garlic mashed potatoes are normally well received. But we will be sure to review the seasoning on our potatoes to ensure consistency. As for the wine, we aim to offer a diverse selection, and taste preferences can vary. We’d love the opportunity to help you find a wine that better suits your palate on your next visit. We hope to welcome you back soon and appreciate your input as we continue to refine our offerings. Best, Dennis Shaw Owner, Phoenix City Grille
