EDIT of 2020 review because Google delisted it. I still have very fond memories of this place from 2020. Went here with my aunt, the atmosphere was unique and unparalleled. The place offered great drinks and the food looks great as well but I haven't tried it. The owner was an absolute legend, she really brightened up the place. I have more photos of the three of us but I haven't asked for permission to publish them.

I think about their salad at least once a week. The freshest vegetables in the salad with wonderful crispy yet tender chicken fingers in it. I've tried to recreate it and nothing comes close. So delicious!!

Had a nice meal at the Phoenix. Owner was helpful and kind. We sat outside on a lovely evening, restaurant is outside the cable car in a quieter side of town. The salads looked nice although I didn't offer one.
