We were not disappointed with our Spinach Lasagna and Spinaci con Prosciutto. All the reviews were so good for Caffe Phoenix that we were looking forward to great food for our first ever order. The menu says the Spinach Lasagna comes with spinach, tomato and basil. All of these items were in the dish and were fresh! In addition, the... more

Based on the reviews on this site, we chose to try Phoenix for dinner for our one dinner out in Wilmington while visiting family for the holidays. The food was very good (although not great) and the service and atmosphere were high quality. We brought a newborn to dinner (it's not billed as a family restuarant, so we weren't sure... more

My Wife and I just ate a memorable meal at the Phoenix. I had a filet that did not have to apologize to the last one I had at the Cafe Sabarsky. Wine AND appetizers were half price so we got one hell of a bargain. Very romantic and hip place. A++ more

This has been a past favorite of mine, through the various incarnations, starting when it was Front Street News. Perhaps one of the best true "spaces" downtown with a unique atmosphere, local art, nice tables, good natural lighting in day with candles and subdued lighting at night, understated decor, city feel, cool restrooms, interesting balcony, and good music over the... more
