Phoenicia is my favorite place 💖

I've been coming here since before my diagnosis. Sad to see it hasn't had a review in a while. I have only ever had a safe eating experience. Kitchen staff is extremely knowledgeable.

They're even catering our wedding and the entire spread is gluten free!

Delicious food in the MKT bar and the deli. Ask the staff questions - most of the kitchen staff is very friendly and love to talk about the plethora of foods that are available.

Not the most helpful, and they don't want to even discuss gf. I was with a group of 5--we all wanted the steak special. Waiter said "gluten free isn't our thing" and walked away. Made the rest of my group uncomfortable. For me, I'd rather not even chance it when the wait staff is that "closed" about it. How hard is it to cook a steak gf?

No gluten-free options on the brunch menu, or the waiter was totally unhelpful, or both.
