    For God's sake order the Brussel Sprouts! It's more like a crispy salad and boy it's amazing! We ordered the Cajun Chicken Pasta and the Short Rib Papardelle. Both were so good but we barely ate half! Sarah is one of the best servers I've had in Arizona. Thanks for the incredible service! Someone give her a raise before she's stolen! The place is quaint and I even heard Sinatra! We will be back!

    Humble Bistro was one of my go-to places on the high street. Listen, the food is still pretty good, but with the summer heat on the rise and the server comes by with a glass of DISGUSTING WATER with the SMELL TO MATCH!!! Of course, they want you to purchase a $5.00 bottle of Saratoga water. Please, for the love of everything, get a FILTRATION system in that place. The way that water smells, I'm sure it's not good for you to drink. Just get the FILTRATION SYSTEM!

    Winter 2026, Caprese salad... so fresh, DELISH :)
    Kathleen K.

    We came here for some lunch & everything turned out delicious! Thankfully they weren't too busy because it's not a large restaurant. The feel of the restaurant is like a cafe that also offered some outdoor dining. We started off with the Caprese Salad which was delicious with just the right amount of pesto. Then we also had the buffalo wings that were cooked perfectly with the right amount of kick. We then finished off with the stone fired pizza with fresh Italian sausage, basil, leeks & ricotta cheese...OMG was it amazing! We had zero complaints from the service down to the food, everything was delish! Only complaint that I can think of is they don't take reservations therefore going for dinner could be a toss up with getting a table!

    I can't get enough of Humble Bistro!!!! Honestly, absolutely everything is to die for. It's such a cute classic bistro with such good food and drinks. My menu favorite is the bistro caprese salad, this would be my death row last meal that's how obsessed I am. The short rib grilled cheese is a banger, it's soooooo good. The boards with a ton of goodies are such a great appetizer. I haven't ever had anything I do not like here. I wish we had one in Sacramento Ca. Whenever I am in AZ I basically come for lunch and dinner it's that good! I've tried all the thingssss you won't regret coming here.

    Really enjoyed a number of factors about this place. Our server was incredible. We had some characters in our group and she kept them laughing and in check. Food and drinks were top notch with one of the best salads I've had. Only ding for me was a dirty table when they sat us down and the cushions were absolutely filthy.

    Short rib pasta
    Devin K.

    I'm actually pretty disappointed. I've been here a few times once for dine-in and a few times for take-out. The first time I got the short rib pasta it was to die for- creamy, tender, flavorful and everything was well balanced. The last few times the pasta was just eh, this most recent time the short rib wasn't even broken apart and it felt like the dish was just thrown together. Not sure if management or chefs have changed but it's not the same as it was a few years ago. Humble fries are really good topped with parmesan and chili flakes but aren't spicy. They come with some fun sauces too. Like a sweet sauce, ranch, and an aïoli. These have been consistently good every time! Location is really nice since it's in the Desert Ridge area and it's a nicer casual restaurant. Inside is smaller but there is a small seating area outside that either has fans in the summer or heater in the winter. Great place for a date night or a night out with the gals!

    All the food we ordered was delicious! We polished every plate. Only thing not pictured is the crispy Brussels sprouts which we demolished in seconds. Service was great and they took good care of us. The ambiance was nice and quaint. A little loud but not bad at all. Recommend. (My friends have gone 4 more times since I took them)

    I'm not going to be humble with this one: Humble Bistro is an excellent restaurant. I've visited twice: once was my second meal upon moving to Phoenix and the other was most recently on a Thursday evening for dinner. Located on High Street in Desert Ridge, you'll be able to find free parking in the various lots surrounding this district or the garage. Since I'm within walking distance, I've been on foot both times I've visited. Ambiance (4.5/5): Humble Bistro is a good looking restaurant. It achieves a nice balance of being trendy and nice while still feeling homey and comfortable. I sat at a half booth upon my most recent visit. There's also a small patio. It's a relatively small restaurant and was packed almost to the brim on a Thursday evening. It can get a little loud, but not overly burdensome. And the lights are dimmed down a bit which creates a nice ambiance. Service (4.5/5): Our waitress did a fantastic job taking care of us. She was friendly (a smile goes a long way), attentive, and efficient. Which is all you hope for, especially when a restaurant is busy while you're dining there. I was trying to decide between three options, and she gave me her recommendation. And she was on target with it. Drinks (N/A): I had an Arnold Palmer, so not much to write home about. With that being said, they have a full bar, including a wine list and cocktails. Food (4.5/5): I had the chicken parm which is served with linguine. This is a classic Italian dish that I've had countless times over the years. And this was the best one I've ever had. The chicken cutlet was fried just right. The breading, tomato sauce, and mozzarella sauce were perfect. It's a relatively simple dish, but Humble Bistro somehow does things better than anywhere I've tried. And it was a filling portion too. While the menu is Italian-centric, there are new American options too. It's an interesting menu with a lot of appetizing choices. For the quality of the food you're getting, Humble Bistro is moderately priced. Which makes it a big winner in my book. There are a lot of good dining options on High Street, Humble Bistro might just be my favorite.

    Humble BK Sandwich

    Oh my goodness where do I start!! Went for brunch and did not leave behind one thing. The wings are some of the best I have ever had. The meat literally falls right off the bone. The sauces are amazing. The Caesar Salad has shaved Brussels sprouts and Parmesan and is also one of the best if not the best Caesar salad I have ever had. It's very seldom that we finish an entire salad at a restaurant and I swear I could've licked the plate clean. Seriously so delicious. If you go to Humble, order the Caesar. The French toast was also phenomenal and the Rosé sangria was strong and not too sweet. Do not sleep on this place. The staff, the food, the ambiance is 10/10!!!!

    Chicken Enchiladas
    Desiree F.

    Grabbed a quick bite in between sips of wine during the Wilcox Wine Festival. Enjoyed some green chili chicken enchiladas and they hit the spot. I couldn't tell you how many I got since they were buried in lettuce. But they were tasty! The bar service was great and my food was out fairly quick.

    Creme Brulee
    Raquel A.

    From the variety of seating options to the chandeliers to the copper ceiling, I really enjoyed the aesthetic of Humble Bistro. It gave me vibes of NYC, but I was told it was designed as a French Bistro. Whichever it was, it works! We were greeted as soon as we entered, and seated immediately as it wasn't too busy. (We usually eat early when we go out to avoid the crowds.) Our server, Alexis, was awesome! She was witty and charming, and chatted easily with every table. She's exactly the type of server every restaurant should have. We ordered the Forno Bread, Humble's answer to garlic bread - house made sourdough with garlic, cheese and olive oil, plus a kick of heat with calabrian flakes. Great flavor and plenty to share. The menu had so many delicious looking options. I decided on the Pasta Rosa and Meatballs - pappardelle pasta with 3 meatballs, whipped ricotta and fresh basil. Now I can be a bit picky about meatballs, but these were excellent. Pasta was perfectly cooked and the only thing I might have liked was a little more ricotta. (I'm a big fan of ricotta.) The portion size was perfect. So often it's a huge bowl of pasta and 2 measly meatballs, but this was an even ratio of pasta to meatballs and yet I still had enough to take home for tomorrow's lunch. Hubby had the Forno Short Rib, which is a 12hr braised short rib over Humble Fries. He loved it! The short rib was fork tender, and practically melted in my mouth (yes, I tried a little), and the fries are well cooked and full of flavor. Combined with the short rib - a flavor explosion! We also split a creme brulee for dessert. Delicious and a nice size for one, but as we were bordering on full from our meal, it was a perfect sharing size for us. We know we'll be back!

    Cremini Sacchetti
    Carter K.

    Humble bistro is located on High St in Desert Ridge which is a really cool street with restaurants, bars, and shops. This is such a great location to grab dinner and drinks with some of friends which is what brought us here! The server was very friendly and helped walk us through the menu and explained each dish to us. Ultimately, we knew we wanted to try the pastas which sounded amazing to us. The Cremini Sacchetti was our favorite! I loved the truffle taste in the brown butter sauce, the truffles weren't overpowering and complimented the pasta perfectly. We also loved the Short Rib which was braised for 12 hours and falling apart. I would love to go back and try the bruschetta dishes that they are known for!

    $10 Froze
    Dawn B.

    Love love love all their food. Ingredients are fresh. They do a great job with their brussels sprouts, Caesar salad- my partner really enjoyed the Caesar dressing, and I switched it to their vinaigrette, sandwiches, pizza, hamburgers! It's pretty impressive when you can get all of that right! Their service- well... it's average at best (some visits have had terrible service to average service). The $10 froze is spectacular though so I still go back!

    To die for not so humble brussels: $12

Best Bolognese in town in my opinion. The staff was more than accommodating.

This was years ago, before the speakeasy existed. I remember we were greeted at the table with glasses of champagne. Service was impeccable, food was delicious. We had one of the best desserts of our lives. 10/10 first impression. We went back maybe a year later after the speakeasy was built in, and it seemed like all their attention went to that instead. They were out of a bunch of dishes on the menu. I remember we all got our food except for my husband and we finally had to ask the server what was going on with his dish and that's when they told us they were out of that dish he had ordered too. They offered to make something else on the house, but at this point we were all almost done with our food so he ended up with nothing. They did try to make it right, I'll give them that, but it was a weird experience. We decided to give the restaurant one last try for my mom's birthday over the weekend and it solidified our opinions on this place. First of all, it's EXPENSIVE. I get it's Scottsdale but they are trying way too hard with $80 ribeyes and $1500 bottles of wine, but not giving you anything for it. Don't get me wrong, I'll enjoy an expensive meal when I feel it's warranted. The food, service, details need to go above and beyond to justify my $500+ tab. That's just not the case here. The server didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Didn't even offer a birthday dessert? We ordered salads before our meals and our entrees showed up two minutes later. My sister had her leftover pasta boxed up and they never brought it back. She asked about it and they said they could fire her a new one, but we were ready to go at this point. These are not issues you should be having at an upscale restaurant at this price point. After all this, we won't be returning. There are much better restaurants at lesser price points that offer amazing food with above and beyond experience. Everyone try Restaurant Progress instead!
