What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Mowry and Cotton at The Phoenician garners praise for its elevated breakfast dishes, generous portions, and the exceptional attentiveness of servers like Christine and Hector. While many find the food delicious and the ambiance inviting, some diners note that certain dishes are overpriced for their quality and that attention to detail can sometimes be lacking.
"Excellent breakfast, we even came back for the same dishes, the second day in a row.
A really cool feature, which was ultra unique. They had the hawk man which had a pet hawk that was trained to keep the pesky birds away from bothering the patrons during breakfast. He would come to your table and show you the bird and tell you cool facts about it.
In regard to the breakfast, pancakes were unlike anything I’ve eaten before perfectly cooked and a delicate, but crunchy exterior and fluffy interior. They served it with real maple syrup, which was very tasty.
The ham and cheese omelette was absolutely divine. It was more of a French inspired omelette that was thin and fluffy like a pillow.
The fresh fruit was fantastic and ripe every piece was outstanding.
The cappuccinos were great and the service was fantastic."
Russ Oja
"I had a pleasant breakfast. The food was adequate, and the portion sizes were particularly noteworthy. Two individuals could easily share an order of the pancakes. Each order included three substantial pancakes, which may be a compensating factor considering the slightly elevated cost of the pancakes. It was also intriguing to observe a hired hawk employed to deter birds from the patio area."
Jennifer
"The food is okay—not bad but definitely not worth the price. I had breakfast and lunch here. The parfait was pretty disappointing—not enough fruit and the yogurt was tasteless. A side of three eggs costing $20 is wild. The lunch was better—I got the Turkey Cuban which was tasty but the side of chips were stale and flavorless.
Staff were all very friendly and the restaurant has tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Beware of the birds though if you’re sitting outdoors—they are ruthless!
Worth checking out considering it’s the only restaurant in the hotel, but the food is mediocre/very overpriced."
