It was a beautiful June day. After a morning of shopping at Tanger Outlet, lunch beckoned. We decided to find a restaurant with outdoor dining on the water. Thanks to Google, we found Phil’s, a lovely place with outdoor dining on the deck, overlooking the Lighthouse Marina and Meeting House Creek. For us, Phil’s is definitely “off the beaten path,” but thanks to gps we had no trouble getting there.
The parking lot is gravel; however, the three handicapped (van)- accessible spaces are on a paved surface with no need to walk on gravel. From here you can go up the ramp to the single door entrance. As we entered the building we found the full-height, bar/lounge area to the left. We walked down the hallway to the hostess waiting to seat us. There are several dining areas, the main one has full-height windows overlooking the marina and creek. We asked to be seated on the deck and were shown the way, through the dining room to sliding glass doors and out to the deck. There is a sill at the door which requires a bit of a step up and over. The deck is lovely, with tables and chairs well-spaced for easy navigation, and an awning overhead to protect from the sun. The full-height bar here is quite large. It must be quite busy at night! We had a wonderful table that allowed us to view the marina and creek while we enjoyed a relaxing lunch. Our server was friendly and professional. Everything we ordered was good – my husband loved his tuna steak blt – the tuna was perfectly done, as were his accompanying, well-done, fries. We were left to enjoy both the food and the view. It became a problem for us to finally leave. Phil’s was certainly a “find,” for us! There is live music on Saturdays and Sundays If you come by boat there is docking available!
Multi-stall, handicapped-accessible restrooms (with baby-changing stations) are located in a hallway opposite the entrance to the bar/lounge.
As always, we at Destination Accessible advise you to check a venue’s website, http://www.philswaterfront.com, when planning a visit, to “know before you go.”
