The Phoenician Tavern is a casual pub kind of restaurant located by the golf course at the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale Arizona.

When you get to the gate keeper’s booth and stop…then turn right to get to the Phoenician Tavern. Next walk up the steps or hop on the elevator and you’re here.

Reservation or not the hostess will ask your name and you will be address by your name from your server.

We make are way to the dining room.

There are tv’s on the walls, dark furniture, matching wood trim and neutral colors and big windows around the room.

There’s views of the golf course from most of the windows.

They offer a lot of variety on the menu….There are all kinds of snacks like chips, dips, hot chicken and wings. There is fish and chips, macaroni and cheese, prime rib, burgers, salads, soup and more.

Today I went with the warm citrus salmon sandwich on toasted dill bread. ($17.00 subject to change)

Sandwiches are held together with cute golf tee picks.

The sandwich is STUFFED with LOTS of reasonably fresh tasting salmon that cooked around medium well but is still juicy.

Also in the sandwich is peppery arugula and a sweet heirloom tomato slice. The lightly grilled dill bread is also brushed with a lemon curry mayo. Sides that come with the sandwiches are fries, sweet potato fries and the pub salad that comes with mustard vinaigrette. I picked the pub salad and it’s light, tasty and refreshing. I notice that the cucumbers sure didn’t come from Safeway because these are crisp, sweet tasting and also are de-seeded.

My husband tried the smoked wagu tri tip French dip ($16.00 subject to change).

There is caramelized onions on the sandwich. There is also Camelback IPA mustard that my husband said is especially good. The smoked wagu tri tip is flavorful, tender and also is a generous amount. Au ju for dipping completes the French dip.

Service was efficient and friendly

That was my first taste at The Phoenician Tavern in Scottsdale
