Late night feast at Fenix

After wracking my brains to come up with a happy hour destination yesterday -- I ended up at Durant's, happily -- I thought I'd blog 'n bitch about how too many of my central Phoenix favorites are closed on Mondays. Drives me crazy. But I'll save that one for another...

After wracking my brains to come up with a happy hour destination yesterday -- I ended up at Durant's, happily -- I thought I'd blog 'n bitch about how too many of my central Phoenix favorites are closed on Mondays. Drives me crazy.

But I'll save that one for another time. Today, I have good news to report.

Along with the Monday closure thing, late-night dining -- or should I say, a lack thereof -- has been one of my biggest complaints about restaurants in these parts.

Now, thanks to new hours at Fenix Eatery, I can go for a tasty French meal well after most local places have closed up for the night. The restaurant's late-night bar menu, which includes escargot; steak with crispy shallots, mustard, and fries; and short rib sliders with cream cheese and red wine sauce, will be available nightly from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. (!!!), starting on May 17.

Let's cross our fingers and hope this catches on...
