  Phil’s 41, Tamiami Trail, Punta Gorda, FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and some chit chat. The food. BUT… Well folks some crazy old white witch change lanes,( without looking of course) and almost ran me off the road…. Which brings me to my drink. 2 for 1 at happy time. I was lucky this place actually had brandy…Brandy seems to be oblivious in the redneck state of Florida.. Only in the more refine eateries have I come across this beverage of grapes.I bring all this up because I ask for my 2 drinks in one tall glass…. How am I served my brandy and cola?? In a well marked beer glass… ahhhh… I guess this is as close as being sophisticated as I will find.My meal… I was presented with fresh out of the oven bread, crusty on outside hot and fluffy inside mmmmm good. And real butter. This is a fading thing in most restaurants. I order P.E.I. mussels and spaghetti. What is P.E.I.??? It means the mussels are larger and come from a place called Prince Edward Island.I do not care… this dish was fabulous. Though a bit hard maybe to open a mussel or so it tasted fresh and good.Kudo’s to the cook, season just right.Since I survived that white crazy redneck witch. I treated myself to dessert. I am sorry I forget the name of this cake, but if you look at the pic , it is more pie looking. It has whipped cream and made of wonderful chocolate. So gooood!!!!Service was great folks all were nice.

  Stay far way – much better options in Punta Gorda. Had Easter dinner at Phil’s with 5 other people. I ordered the Mahi Mahi from the Easter Menu. When it arrived it was was over cooked and dry. The waitress noticed, and discussed it with Phil (the owner) but when the bill arrived we were charged the full amount. Phil came to the table and said 58 other people had ordered the Mahi Mahi and everyone said it was excellent. (yep he really said that!) He said he looked at it and it wasn’t dry. He said he would take it off and stormed away from the table. A new bill arrived with a $10 discount. The meal was $18.95, and the total for the table was over $200.Really??? What happened to the customer is always right? Berating the customer at the table? Not cool. We eat out often in Punta Gorda and we will not be going back to Phil’s any time soon.
