    Wild Mushroom Tartlette

    This place is incredible for regular dinner, but if you have a chance to try one of their wine dinners or specialty dinners, highly recommend! Just got done trying their wine dinner for August 2026 and can't say enough great things about it! Definitely come here for a fun night out with friends or an intimate date night :-)

    Tiramisu. So good
    Rich T.

    May I please select a 6th star? Drinks first. I had an old house old fashioned which was rye based. We also had the lavender bees knees which was Sipsmith London dry Gin, lemon and lavender infused honey syrup. Had bee pollen and sugar crusted on the rim. Amazing Ok this European comfort food restaurant is to die for. We had the charcuterie board which was so good with the wide variety of ingredients. We also had the duck confit fingerling potatoes. Wow. Greg and his staff provided an amazing experience. You must, must try this place.

    This is a very lovely restaurant in Downtown Phoenix. We did not have a reservation but we got there early so we got a cute table in the front of the house, next to a stunning painting of peacock. The food here is very tasty and the plates they used are so beautiful. The scallops appetizers are perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sea bass main dish is fresh and delicious. The bread pudding is warm and perfectly sweet.

    Nikki G was phenomenal, great CS, knew the menu extremely well, even with the Valentine's day Special Add On Menu, was very attentive and accommodating. Greg, the owner/manager stopped by what a fine gentleman, told us the story behind this marvelous restaurant and the food was FANTASTIC, one of my favorites in the Phoenix Market.. We had Lamb Chops, Hokkaido Scallops, Salmon Piccata, The Dates-for a Starter & Dark Chocolate Mousse, Carmel Pecan Bread Pudding for Desert. The food was AMAZING!!! Drinks and Wine, PHENOMENAL. Parking is a challenge if you don't know where and what is in the area. Check with them and they will guide you. Ambiance is interesting in this old house, If in the area you must try! Thanks to the entire staff for making the dining experience memorable.

    Sticky Pork Belly
    Brandon P.

    What a nice little spot. The atmosphere is so relaxing and homey. There is a beautiful outdoor area and inside is unique as well. The staff were friendly and helpful. 5 Stars We have been to many steakhouses and this was the most well cooked steak we have had. From the sear, to the sauce, and the perfect cook, it was delicious. The Green Beans were so fresh and had a great but subtle crunch. The garlic and bacon worked perfectly. What a fantastic Tiramisu. So light and amazing flavors. I loved the blueberries as it added a freshness and another layer of flavors. The dates were cooked perfectly. Great balance of flavor and a delicious sauce. The Le Mac was one of the best Macs we have had at any restaurant. It wasn't too heavy and was a perfect amount of creamy. The Knickerbocker drink was absolutely amazing. The raspberry puree really shined through. The Espresso Martini was a perfect after dinner drink. Very well balanced. The Rosemary Lemon Drop was delicious. The addition of the rosemary took this to another level. 4 Stars - The pork belly had great flavor! I just prefer my pork belly crispy. If they would broil these for 1-2 minutes it would be amazing! The fingerling potatoes were very well seasoned and yummy. Again, we prefer them a little more crispy. The Sweet Potatoes were simplistic and simple. Well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The asparagus was fresh and for as large as they were, held together well and weren't flimsy. They were a little lacking in seasoning but overall good. We will definitely be back to try the short ribs and sea bass! 4**** = Set themselves a part with quality food and I want to go back. 5*****= You have to go out of your way and make a special trip to try the deliciousness that is there!

    Wonderful wonderful place! The restaurant was in a small quaint European style home that felt vintage and nostalgic. Gorgeous restaurant with beautiful artwork inside. My friend and I were in the mood for dessert so we decided to pop in here during our night stroll in downtown; we couldn't resist the hidden beauty of this restaurant. We were quickly greeted with wonderful service and were sat in this adorable tiny table next to a wall of paintings. We ordered the Crème brûlée and it was so good! The sugar crust was perfect and the cranberries added a nice sour touch. So delicious! Everything else on the menu looked yummy so we definitely plan on coming back again soon :D . The waitress, Gretchen, was so sweet and kind :D !

    Ratatouille
    Michael D.

    Well where tjy sat us the Ambience made it feel real welcoming like you were at home in your own kitchen or about to.eat a grandma's house which made me even more hungry. The service was phenomenal our waitress was able to not only able to give us her recommendations but also answer any questions on the other dishes so I new her opinion was am honest one. Then came the food the wife said why not and just started ordering a little bit of everything or it seemed like that to me. I had the ratatouille with the beef rib and a shareable side but i didnt share haha. Let me say it was amazing the eggplant was cooked perfectly the beef rib was tender and tasted perfect. The wife had a salad and simplicity is key the vinaigrette paird with the greens and cheese was on point. We also got the olives and bread I wish we would of got desert but just had no room when we were finished. Overall if your looking for something different then the norm this is the spot we will be coming back next time.

    Braised short ribs
    Drew A.

    We were looking for some fun and unique place to take my daughter for her birthday, and this place was perfect! The setting and atmosphere of this place can't be beat, dry in the heart of downtown nestled amongst skyscrapers sits this old historic house. The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. We started with some cocktails, which they have quite an extensive list of. Then we ordered the bacon wrapped, chorizo stuffed dates; to die for!! I ordered the braised short ribs and both my wife and daughter ordered the sea bass. All were tender and delicious! Finally we capped off the evening with the tiramisu, yum!

    If you want a gorgeous, cozy restaurant for a sweet date night, The Farish House is the perfect place to go. It's perfect for patio weather -- set along the quieter streets of downtown Phoenix -- or for dining in the historic home. After making a reservation online, we were seated immediately for our anniversary dinner. Our lovely hostess gave us a head's up that the Chianti-braised short rib--which we definitely had our eyes on--was running low, so we were able to put in our order for that to ensure it didn't sell out. So glad we did! The meat is so tender, and the veggies and polenta pair fantastically with the dish. The Mahi Mahi Provencale came with a surprise standout: the ratatouille. I would definitely order this on its own, though the fish was delicious! We also thoroughly enjoyed our starter, the Kale & Goat Salad that comes with tasty dried fruits and a dijon-maple vinaigrette. The non-alcoholic drinks are also lovely here! Love the selection of mocktails. I would definitely return--it's one of the better elevated dining experiences (especially at its price range) in a lovely area to walk around afterward.

    Duck fat Fingerling potatoes, goat cheese carrots, le Mac with short rib, bacon wrapped dates stuffed with chorizo
    Kalyn C.

    10/10. The patio is the perfect ambiance for a lovely date. The food was delicious. The price was fair and portions were generous. We also snagged happy hour for some of the apps and drinks for a couple bucks off! We enjoyed the blueberry smash mocktail, tequila old fashioned, bacon stuffed with chorizo wrapped dates, goat cheese carrots, duck fat fingerling potatoes, & le Mac with two short ribs added. All of it was so delicious we will definitely be back! Our server was sweet and the perfect balance of checking in with us. Lastly we ended with the furry pecan brownie - mmmm!

    Steak Poivre

    We went for my birthday dinner. The food was fabulous and the staff were attentive, friendly and fun. The building had tons of charm. I had a great experience.

    Salads - simple green and Farish wedge, Mac and cheese, and rustic pomodoro soup.
    Tealeye C.

    Met up with a grade school friend who I haven't seen in years. The staff were attentive and very friendly, and the space is unique - loved it. It's beautiful - would make a nice date night restaurant. Really enjoyed my meal and the wine. I would definitely go again. Parking is a little tricky they have a small lot in the back and street parking. If you go on their website they have great information on parking.

    Lobster Risotto
    Tracy P.

    Small parking lot in the back for free parking. Nice, cozy restaurant. Since space is limited be sure to make a reservation. The menu didn't have many options so we were struggling to figure out the second dish we wanted. Must get the Chianti Braised Short Ribs! This was so good and especially the polenta was made so well. I would have gotten two of short rib dishes if I knew how the Lobster Risotto was going to taste. I didn't really like the flavor and it barely had any lobster pieces. It was not worth it. Service was great! A reminder they do not allow customers to bring their own cakes since they have their own cakes.

We had a reservation and were seated right away. I selected the main dining room when making our reservation, although they also have new upstairs seating, which you can choose when booking. They have outdoor seating on the porch, but it's too hot for us this time of year. Would love to come back and dine outside when the weather cools down. The main dining room is rustic chic with exposed brick and a really fun energy. There are mostly two-top tables with a few four-tops in the center, plus a small bar with about four seats. One of my favorite details was the vinyl record player, which almost acts as the centerpiece of the room. The hostess would switch out the records throughout the evening and place the current album on the windowsill, so you knew exactly what you were listening to. We really enjoyed the music selections! One thing to note is that the main dining room is loud. I'm not sure if it's the acoustics of the old house, but it took us a little while to get used to the noise. Once we settled in, it wasn't as noticeable, but it was definitely hard to ignore at first. If you're looking for a quieter, more intimate experience, I'd recommend reserving a table upstairs. The wine list is very small, which actually made choosing a bottle really easy. We went with a Sauvignon Blanc. I've been to French restaurants like Zinc where, because of the small two-top tables, they bring your wine in a standing bucket. Sottise does something different, they have a wall of shelves where they keep your bottle. It serves almost as another centerpiece in the room. Our server and hostess were both great about keeping our glasses filled, so we didn't miss having the bottle at the table. The menu is definitely a modern take on French cuisine, and everything we ordered was delicious. We started with the Escargot de Bourgogne, and I loved that they were served in shells rather than in a traditional escargot dish. They had just the right amount of garlic, butter and light herbs. Of course, we had to order the Fresh Country Loaf with butter so we could soak up all that delicious escargot sauce. So good! Next came the Pistou Pasta and the Le Grand Loup de Mer. The pistou sauce is made with basil, garlic and olive oil, but unlike pesto, it doesn't contain cheese or pine nuts. The flavor was incredibly fresh, and the color of the noodles from the sauce was so vibrant. But the Le Grand Loup de Mer was absolutely the star of the show! The presentation was beautiful, and the sea bass was cooked perfectly with wonderfully crisp skin. It came with a light white wine beurre blanc-style sauce, and the trout roe added the perfect amount of saltiness. Definitely get this dish! We loved it so much that we ordered a second country loaf just so we could have more bread for dipping into that incredible sauce. Instead of dessert, we finished with an espresso martini. It didn't come with any coffee beans on top, so I'm guessing they may use a Nespresso-style setup and don't have whole beans on hand. It was still really good and a nice way to end the evening. Our server was great and attentive without hovering and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our meal and each other. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Sottise. Between the unique old-house setting, vinyl records, exposed brick, modern French food and service, it's a really memorable spot. I'd definitely come back, especially when the weather cools down so we can experience the porch or try the upstairs dining area for a quieter evening.
