About
Our story began when the legendary Bishop's Restaurant, which operated in Lawrence for over fifty years, closed its doors in January of 2002. Having faith in Bishop's menu, along with the blessing and support of the owners of Bishop's, the Bashara Family, The Geha Family who had worked at Bishop's for years opened the Phoenician restaurant in Salem, NH on May of 2002. Key staff members, many of whom had worked at Bishop's for decades, joined the Geha Family at their new restaurant.
In May of 2009, the Phoenician moved to a bigger venue in Haverhill, MA. The new location has a 250 seat restaurant, a full bar area, an outside patio and plenty of parking. The building also includes a function hall with a capacity of 400 guests known as "Michael's Function Hall" operated by the Geha family and serving quality food in the same standard of service that guests have become accustomed to from the Phoenician for over a decade.
