The Phoenician Tavern at 6000 E Camelback Rd in Scottsdale serves polished American pub fare in a relaxed resort setting, with a menu designed for casual lunches, dinners, family outings, and group gatherings. The latest Summer 2026 menu features shareable starters, fresh salads, substantial sandwiches, premium burgers, grilled entrées, pasta, sides, milkshakes, and desserts. Standouts include the Classic Tavern Burger, Cowboy, and Smoked Tri Tip French Dip, while the chef’s daily Market Steak offers a changing steakhouse-style choice. Prices generally reflect the upscale resort location, with many mains around $26-$38 and generous, thoughtfully composed servings. Ingredients such as prime beef, free-range bison, avocado, farm greens, salmon, fresh vegetables, and house-style sauces give the food a satisfying balance of freshness and rich comfort flavors. Lighter choices include salads and seared salmon, and several dishes can suit diners seeking vegetable-forward meals; guests with specific gluten-free requirements should confirm preparation with staff. The Tavern is also described as kid-friendly, making it particularly suitable for families and groups. It currently focuses on lunch and dinner rather than breakfast.
