Review summary

Afternoon Tea at The Phoenician is a "sublime" experience, blending "stunning ambiance" with "impeccable service." Guests rave about the innovative and delicious food paired with a wide array of teas and sparkling options. The live piano music and dedicated staff, especially Wanda, make it a "must-attend" occasion in Scottsdale.

Wonderful experience and they were quite accommodating of a baby and 5 year old. They even brought out toys and tiny treats just for the kids. It was so special. We can’t wait to make it a tradition!

This is our fourth year at the Phoenician Christmas afternoon tea. We absolutely love it. Although pricey, we look forward to it every year. The food, tea and service are excellent. Unfortunately, this year we didn't get our annual picture copies in front of the Christmas tree which has become a treasured tradition for us. Look forward to next year.

We ordered a vegan meal when they confirmed our reservation just before hand and they had nothing for us except for a few little bites since they said they did not show record of vegan meal. For $ 140.00 per person after 22% tip I expected much more. It really was not worth the money even for regular menu. No towers presentation of food just a preset little plate for each 3 courses. Finger sandwiches, scones & beautiful tiny desserts that tasted very premade…

My mother and I have been going to afternoon tea for over 30 years! Usually every March for our birthdays and around Christmas time! I’ve been to tea all over the world and the Phoenician is absolutely the best! The little sandwiches are so fresh and delectable! The scones with homemade Devonshire cream and lemon curd melt in your mouth and if you have room after all that the pastry’s are decadent! Not to mention my favorite Jasmine pearl tea that smells like the tropics! Also I always have champagne too! The wait staff is phenomenal and if you are lucky enough to have Wanda you are in for a treat! We love her!!

I took my mum from Australia to tea for her 75th birthday and it was a very memorable and wonderful experience! Our server Sabrina went above and beyond to make the experience so special! 5 star service, food and ambiance. We also loved the beautiful soft live piano music. It was an absolute delight! Thank you!!!
