My boyfriend and I chose the Farish House as the spot for our anniversary. I was really excited, based on the reviews I had been reading online. When we got there, despite our reservation, there was a bit of fiddling around with tables in order to get us sat. Which was fine, but I had mentioned in my reservation request that it was our anniversary, and they sat us smack in the middle of the patio. Despite that, our meal was really good. My boyfriend got the filet mignon (I think!) which he devoured, and we shared the honeyed nut & fruit crostini, baby carrots, and olives. Since my eyes are bigger than my stomach, I ordered the Le mac for my main course which was good, but not outstanding. I definitely favored the carrots- they were phenomenal. We also had a couple of glasses of the Sauvignon blanc which was really nice. Our server was also exceptional and had great timing. Regardless of my qualm with the location of the table, the patio was very cute and we had a friendly visit with a neighborhood kitty during our meal. I am looking forward to my next visit at the Farish House- possibly for Saturday tea! read more

I went here for a birthday dinner and had a wonderful time. The restaurant was cute and cozy and they conveniently offer parking in the lot behind the restaurant (there's also plenty of street parking nearby). Every dish I tried was absolutely delicious! The Short Ribs were really good, the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. I also had the Duck Fat Fingerlings which had a generous portion size and came with delicious Moroccan spiced aioli. For dessert, I had the Italian Ricotta Cake which was just okay. The service was good! We were checked on frequently and our food arrived promptly even though we had a big group. We brought a birthday cake, and while they kindly stored it in their fridge, they don't serve or allow people to eat outside cakes on the premises. read more

Came here last night for a friend's birthday and it was just okay. The whisky smash was tasty but lacked depth. The cheese duo plate was nicely presented but we all thought the 6 or 7 nuts on the plate were pointless. My partner liked the pate but felt it was under-seasoned. The birthday girl thought her mushroom scallops were beautiful but wasn't wowed by the taste. I noticed a friend sawing at their steak and they mentioned it was fairly tough and gristly. My sole was lovely. It was a very generous portion and beautifully prepared. The lentils and asparagus were quite tasty. Service was good although lagged at the end. We were seated close to the exterior door that the servers use to carry food back and forth which made for a chilly evening. The folks at the table next to us were quite loud and that made it a little difficult to talk and hear each other. It was a nice evening but didn't justify the cost. read more

They offer a consistently pleasant experience. The interior is clean, the food is great, and the staff are wonderful. In my opinion, it is fairly priced. read more

I love tiny old house restaurants, cute, quaint, comfortable, and great atmosphere. The service was great for Valentine's Day, they made sure we we're always taken care of. The food was great and surprisingly the prices were extremely reasonable. The truffle popcorn was so good but maybe a little to much salt. Bacon wrapped dates were fantastic as was the oyster Rockefeller. The short rib had such a unique flavor I couldn't figure it out but was definitely worth it. The crab gnocchi was great, had a great sauce that didn't overpower the dish. I overall really liked this place allot. read more

Was staying in Downtown and was looking for something within walking distance to the Sheraton. Went to Yelp and looked at all restaurants within a 4 block radius and picked this one because it had a 4.5* rating and looked like it had great ambience. This place is absolutely amazing. I can't believe I had the good fortune to stumble upon it almost by accident. Our server, whose name I regrettably forgot had an amazing energy and was fantastic. We ordered the Le Mac, Barramundi Filet, and the Stuffed Eggplant, along with some drinks. The Mac came out first. It was a typical French take on Mac & Cheese. Good, but not really my style. I've had it before and it was good. Just not my preference for Mac & Cheese. The manager came out to tell us the Eggplant fell on the floor. We told her no problem. Soon a replacement Eggplant and the Filet came out. But it was the Petit Filet, not the fish. NOT REALLY THEIR FAULT. We just said the "Filet". I didn't even see the steak on the menu. But they took it back (Bartender got a great meal) no questions asked with a great attitude. When the Barramundi came out... OMG AMAZING. Crispy on the outside, flaky and moist inside. Its an unusual fish. The flavors of the dish were incredible. The Eggplant was equally amazing. The sauce was just to die for. Even people who hate veggies will love it. Even after it was all gone, I was using a spoon to clean up all the sauce. 1 large app, 2 entrees, and 2 drinks for under $100 excluding tip? I rank this as a great deal. The decor is cool too. The owner goes to estate sales and such to find new decorations. Great date-night place. read more

Delicious! Went for our anniversary and the food was amazing, service was great and they gave us a free dessert for celebration. Super cute inside, but tables are very close together. read more

I didn't know much about this establishment prior to walking in. I was pleasantly surprised with an excellent meal. The short ribs might have been the best I've had...beautifully braised, lean, and so tender that a knife was unnecessary. The house salad looked large but was actually light. We also had separate charcuterie and cheese boards. It might have been nice if we could have combined the two as there was some redundancy. The service was prompt and ambiance intimate. read more

My dad and I go out to dinner often and have tried a plethora of amazing places but this place truly takes the cake. It is unbelievably beautiful, intimate, and not only does the place have so much character but the food and service was spectacular! The Duck and Ratatouille was so delicious! The tea cups are so gorgeous and i asked the servers if they tailor the cups they choose to the vibe of the customer and it turns out.. they do! Everybody who worked there was so amazingly kind and helpful and made the experience so memorable. Truly the coolest and my new favorite spot in Arizona. read more

What a gem!! Came here to celebrate my 30th and had a wonderful experience. The place is beautifully decorated for the holidays, and the outdoor area was very well-heated for an enjoyable dining experience on a December evening. Our server was very kind and attentive, and made sure that all our plates were timed out well (we ordered several small plates for a tapas style meal). The food was perfection! Every dish was unique and flavorful. We left wanting to try so many other items on their menu! read more

I came here on a Friday evening and had made reservations the day before. We had the outside patio which was perfect. I also felt very safe as the tables had a good distance of space between each other. While the menu is small, each plate is made so well. My friend and I ordered a plate of the oysters each and was delicious. We also ordered the duck fat potatoes which were good. My favorite was probably the tiramisu. The rich taste of the espresso and chocolate were perfect and the consistency was on point as well. As for their cocktails; they have a selected few but I think between the Paloma and the Knickerbocker, the latter took the win for me. Great service overall. This place is great for a date night or small intimate happy hour/get together. read more

Atmosphere and the service were top notch. Felt like my Duck Confit was a bit overcooked but the Filet Mignon was downright magnanimous. I can't stress the staff and our male waiter whose name escaped me (shaved head, moustache) was the most patient and considerate individual to a table of 12 late into the night. He deserves a raise for keeping tabs on everything. read more

My husband and I celebrated Valentine's with dinner at the Farish house. We were warmly greeted and offered a small pour of complimentary champagne. This is a welcoming gesture as many restaurants were offering this tonight. The lobster bisque, that I was looking so forward to was not barely warm. There were generous sized pieces of fresh lobster on top but the bisque was watery. The seared scallops from the prix fixed Valentine's menu was tasty but again, not warm but the accompanying saffron risotto and asparagus were delicious! The opera cake was underwhelming but the artistically created "cherry pie love letter" was good. Wonderful staff, quaint and comfortable ambience, okay food. read more

Lovely place, with charming patio and friendly wait staff. Food is good but I may have made a mistake in selection. The lentils were savory but not all that interesting. The scallops were good but small and few and the risotto turned out a bit crunchy. Should have gone with the Mac and cheese, and the special beef bourguignon. I do agree this is a good value. read more

We ate dinner last week here - what a treat! Friendly staff, delicious food, great wine selection, unique set up! Wish they had a parking lot but we were there on Wednesday so had no problem getting street parking - all meter parking in that area. We'll definitely go back! read more

I looked for a restaurant in Downtown Phoenix to take my wife out for our 56th Anniversary. We were so pleased and overwhelmed by the experience. The food was just unbelievable...I had the Filet steak...IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE...tender and mouth-watering. My wife had the fish, and the young lady who waited on us was SPOT ON!! The ambiance was just GREAT! I will be going back. I recommend this establishment for a night out with your significant other. Great Memories. And that is hard to come by in this day and age. You will not be disappointed. read more

If you have food allergies, I highly recommend this restaurant. They were able to accommodate my gluten/dairy allergies without any trouble. The food was absolutely delicious and seasoned perfectly. My husband and I shared the carrot dish, lentils, ratatouille, potatoes and braised short ribs. We unexpectedly came during happy hour so that was an extra bonus to our already great experience. The historic location and ambiance is lovely. We sat on the patio and had wonderful and friendly wait staff. It's a small thing, but I really appreciated their non plastic/styrofoam to go boxes. I will for sure come back since my diet can be accommodated and the experience was excellent. I'm also recommending to family and friends. What a great find! read more

My wife and I learned about The Farish House and thought we'd give it a try. It was way beyond our expectations. Everything about the experience was terrific. The food, the service, the ambiance and the drinks were top shelf. We make it a habit to try new places and have been to well over one hundred restaurants in the Phoenix area. Only a select few make it into our "we will return" rotation. The Farish House is now among them. Oh yeah, the Caesar salad was easily one of the best we have ever had. read more

Met friends here for dinner and so glad we did. Staff was pleasant and friendly but not too. We chose to sit outside; it was perfect. We started with the figs for an appetizer; I had the shrimp and hubby had the chicken, we finished with the strawberry shortcake. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back and this is a place we will bring visitors to. read more

I am obsessed with this cute little place! It is so quaint, romantic, and perfect for date night. My husband and I came before opening night of the symphony and I can't imagine a better spot! We started with some of their tasty cocktails - their featured Happy Hour cocktail the night we were in was a Paloma and it was so dreamy. I also had the Farish Cup and that too, was great. It tasted similar to a Moscow Mule. They also served truffle dusted popcorn with our cocktails which won my heart right away. We ordered their appetizer special which was figs, wrapped in prosciutto, mascarpone, with a tasty pesto. We also got their manchego cheese which came with yummy accompaniments. I ordered their simple salad to start and it was perfect. I loved the basil dressing and the blistered cherry tomatoes on top. For my entree, I ordered their short rib stew and I will honestly be dreaming about it throughout the fall/winter seasons. You better believe that i'll be back for this! Talk about comfort food. YUM! Yep, we had a feast and it was delightful! They also have a great wine list and the service is very friendly. They made sure to note our show time and got us out of the door just in time. We'll be back! read more

Any review that complains about parking, the music or anything else like that can leave. This is a gem. The best part of it all was the wait staff. They were so attentive and sweet. Felt like we were family. As for the food. It is all very rich. Bold. Deep in flavor. I only got one picture but we had a few plates with duck and the burrata. Delicious. The Apple pork chop was moist, juicy and sweet. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Great atmosphere. Don't be rude and ding them for something like parking. It's in downtown. Are you really telling me you don't know most of these restaurants don't have parking? I would highly recommend this place. Make sure to make a reservation. read more

The Farish House - Apple Pork Chop - Wine Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I had no idea this place was next to Songbird Coffee and I drive by it so often. It's a great gem in the middle of Phoenix built into a historic house. Friendly staff and live music at night. They have a unique selection of old timey cocktails. I had the knickerbocker which was a fine choice. It went well with the complementary truffle popcorn and our chicken liver pâté appetizer. Entrees were the duck leg and short ribs. Both great in their own way and the meat was fall-apart tender. We demolished all of it and had room for tiramisu and coffee. Some of their dishes seem to rotate in and out so we'll be back for more! read more

If you'd like to step into 1899, you can do so here. The finishes, decorations, menu, and drinks (mostly) stay true to that time period which is when the house was built. I absolutely loved the interior. For parking, they have their own lot which is hidden behind the building, you can enter it from FilmBar or Cobra Arcade Bar. Service was excellent. They were very informative regarding the property and its history, and were also extremely welcoming and friendly. I ordered the "Peposo" which was "peppered Chianti short rib beef stew - onions, carrots, tomato, peppers in rich gravy" ($20). For the price I expected a bit more, maybe bread on the side, potatoes added, something. The older menu showed it came with gnocchi, I wish they had kept it. It's a beautiful, elegant, historic home turned bar and restaurant which deserves a visit. Suitable for a dinner date, or drinks with friends. read more

This little House is very cute! I enjoyed the atmosphere, old charm, and pleasant staff. We dined inside, which was great! Sat by a window on an antique table, and sipped on Prosecco from one of those glasses you see in like 1920s movies! The atmosphere and charm is what won me over the most with this location. The food was enjoyable and much like the chef said in an article, not TOO fancy you can't make it a regular "let's go have a good meal" type of place. It's plated well, and the menu has a variety of options to explore. We started the "The Dates" and then moved to a charcuterie board, followed by the eggplant stack and the cassoulet I was too full for dessert, but enjoyed my time! I think it would be a cute place for a girls brunch, a dinner before a movie, or even a cute date spot! read more

The service was great and everyone was nice. The atmosphere was historic but it was unique and old-fashioned. The food was average but we are not big fans of figs it seems. I believe the restaurant would be better for lunch. The parking is kind of a mess with the air garage configuration. I am giving it a score of 2 because the restaurant gave my card number to the air garage company without my permission and without explaining the parking fees. Across-the-board would recommend it for a nice relaxing lunch. Based on the owners feedback the restaurant gives out your personal finance information along with ease-drops or records your dinner conversation. I do think patrons should be notified of privacy risk concerns before dining. I would recommend they re-listen to the recording because that is not accurate. Thanks read more

My husband has Celiacs disease and we had a safe gluten free dinner here.

I had won a gift certificate for this cute restaurant from a fundraiser I entered. Called in my order of the short ribs dinner and the mac n cheese. When I went to pick it up, it was such a cute place -- actually, a converted house built in the 1880s -- that I thought I would sit down at the bar and have the drink of the day and the fingerlings. Angie was my bartender/server. Owner Lori was in the house. The drink was delish! Tequila and a splash of wine and I can't remember what else. If I wasn't driving, I'm sure I would have had another. The fingerlings were great. I didn't want to fill up on potatoes cause I wanted to eat my take-home meals, so I boxed it up to take home as well. The short ribs with the mashed potatoes and the broccolini and the mac n cheese were equally tasty. The ribs were tender and the the broccolini and mashed potatoes seasoned perfectly. The same with the mac n cheese. Angie and Lori are so friendly. There's a patio to sit in the front as well as behind the house. And the kitchen is in a separate building in the back. I would definitely return. During this time of socially distancing during covid, customers are spaced according to the rules. read more
