    The menu pricing and protein options
    Asa P.

    Tuesday Night Fun and Frites launches July 22 in the Bistro area. You'll find it's a more casual vibe over the main dining room. The food was amazing. I had an opportunity to sample the menu before launch day. This is a peek at the proteins offered. You'll get a choice of soup or salad, your entree choice (combo plate is not offered) this was exclusive for the event. You'll end with dessert which is included in the cost. I definitely favored the beef tenderloin with the black peppercorn sauce.

    "Vintage white table cloth experience at its best" is how I would describe our supper club's experience at this restaurant. From the moment I was greeted, I knew I'd stepped into a most fabulous place with quaint appeal and high end service. I arrived earlier than everyone else and decided to grab a glass of wine while I waited. The bar was full of people who appeared to be stopping in after work for a delicious meal and then head home. This is a peaceful place to unwind from a stressful day. I enjoyed a trio of fish: halibut, sole and snapper. The best of the meetup had little to do with the restaurant itself. This was probably one of my most favorite ISCUYE, if not my most favorite because the conversations that we had at that table were beyond thought provoking and interesting. It's why we continue to host these UYEs.... The conversations and experiences cap off discovering interesting and locally owned restaurants in Phoenix Metro! Return Factor: 80%

    First off, note that there's $6 valet fee. One of the things I love about this place is that there's no dress code; it used to be formal. The service is all dressed formally and they are all accommodating and amiable. I decided to order the beef tenderloin with green peppercorn sauce and their berry cobbler. It's important to note that they made a mistake on their menu. The berry cobbler says it comes with a scoop strawberry ice cream but it was actually raspberry instead. I'm not sure if this is standard, but it looks like a dessert order comes with a small chocolate souffle. I really appreciated that the dessert was larger than I thought it'd be. The beef tenderloin was tasty but I've definitely had some beef in the past on similar quality at slightly cheaper prices. My whole bill came out to $103.82 (includes tax and tip). I really think they can remove the whole valet service since it's a waste of money. There's a parking lot there that is easy to park in. I get that they're trying hard to be an upscale restaurant, but the place just isn't located in an upscale spot with hard to find parking.

    Lobster Chimichanga

    Food, service, ambiance all incredible. A must stop when in Phoenix! Unbelievable selection of wine to be paired with wonderful food!

    Lobster stuffed pastry

    An exceptional experience from start to finish. The Discovery Menu was exquisite, and having four different tasting menus--one uniquely curated for each guest--was truly special. The service and perfectly paired wines were outstanding, but even they were surpassed by the culinary excellence. We were celebrating my mom's 70th birthday, and Vincent and his team far exceeded our expectations. A truly unforgettable evening.

    For July's International Supper Club UYE Vincent's on Camelback was the place chosen! Vincent's has been in the valley for a very long time and I was excited to finally make it in. Our server was Diana, and she was great! The day arrived and off we went. After checking out the menu, I knew I wouldn't be able to do a full meal so I went with a starter and I ordered the Lobster Chimichanga with leeks, goat cheese and avocado corn salsa. Even thought this was a starter this was filling, The lobster chimi was packed with great flavors, So dang good! Ended the night with a rich decadent chocolate cake. The perfect way to end a great meal! Had a great meal with excellent company and looking forward to coming back!

    Pricey, classy, and buttery, lol. I love French food and was really excited to come here for a family birthday dinner. We were seated really close to the entrance, which just didn't feel like a great spot, but being more in the center may have felt a little too crowded and stuffy. That was probably the one bad thing about this place - just didn't feel like the air was circulating well. Even though I don't eat red meat I had plenty of options. I thought I was going to choose the scallops, but I made a spur of the moment decision change and ordered the trio of halibut, bass, and lobster. I was SO glad I flip flopped - I love tasting a variety and this was served like 3 perfect little fully plated mini dinners! I had a bite of one of my family member's scallops, very good but I preferred my dish(es). Other than mains, we had small croissants and bread with butter on the table. I only had croissant which was pretty good (I'm pretty picky - I do wish the outside had more layers but on the inside they were there!) We also ordered a chanterelle mushroom tarte appetizer to share which was fantastic (mushroom lover here). We passed on ordering a full dessert but with the check they gave us each a little flourless chocolate cake that was to die for and the small portion didn't leave me feeling unable to get up from the table. The service was nice but if I'm allowed to say it, a little snooty. I really liked the food though so I'd come back for another special occasion for sure.

    Macadamia Crusted Sea Scallops

    When you go to Vincent's you expect a full five star experience. I attended as part of our International Supper Club. We chose Vincent's to kick off the Olympics! We do not tell the restaurants that we are with a supper club or Yelpers as we want to have a true experience. Ambiance of the restaurant is upscale. Cozy booths, comfortable chairs and beautiful decor. I was most taken back by the wine "list" as it's not a list, it's a book! So impressive! I started my meal with the Lobster Bisque. While I was surprised there were no lobster chunks in it the soup was super smooth, creamy and delicious. For my meal I chose the Macadamia Crusted Sea Scallops in a Burre Blanc. AMAZING. Probably the best scallops I have ever eaten. The waitress came out to change the place setting for dessert and we all said we were too full. She said "okay" smiled and kept placing. The chef sent our party out free dessert! The only reason I docked a star was due to their reservation policy. They require a cc be placed (totally understandable) but will charge $25 for anyone who does not show up. I really don't think this is fair as life happens! If you are looking for a romantic date night or just a five star dining experience Vincent's is always a solid choice!

    Brulee for Dessert
    Norm W.

    First time at Vincent's on Camelback. What a treat. Friends invited me to share a celebration with them. The food, ambiance, and service were exceptional! Started off with a lobster and avocado salad. Very tasty as were the croissant rolls. One of the dinner specials was an individual Beef Wellington. First time for that dish as well. The Beef Wellington was a filet mignon baked in a puff pastry with mushrooms. It had a tasty brown gravy and some vegetables. For dessert, the choice was a brulee that was very rich. Chef also gave each diner a complimentary chocolate pastry. Food coma lasted only a short while. What a special evening! Shut down the place. They have been in business for over 30 years. Put this one on your list for that special occasion!

The ambiance of the place overall is so nice. It's located inside Global Ambassador Hotel. It offers indoor and outdoor seating. No misters outside so plan on that. They also validate parking, as well as having valet out front. Before I talk about how yummy the food is, I want to give a huge shout out to Shamitt, I believe it was the manager of the evening. He checked on tables to make sure everyone was satisfied. Even when our table had a minor hiccup, he made sure to turn the whole evening around and top it off (which wasn't needed but that's how they are, always going above and beyond). Every waitress or waiter I've had is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Just this alone makes me want to come back every time. Now about the food. Words don't do it justice. You have to come by and try it for yourself! I always order the escargot they did recently change it from a savory version back in May, to now it's a lemony, breadcrumb, light version. Both versions are delicious (maybe offer both?). This particular evening I was there for the steak frites dinning menu....WORTH IT! It's silly not to order this. The steak is a decent size and you get lots of fries. My table and I split the steak frites menu and order a few things from the appetizers and we were stuffed. Not a lot of places have a good dessert menu...but this place does! Everything on the dessert menu I've had, and I would get them all again. Overall, you can't go wrong here! Everything checks the boxes. They will be seeing me again, and again!

My friends thought it was a little salty, but I love salt, so it was perfect for me. The truffle fries were delicious, and both the mashed potatoes and asparagus were cooked perfectly. The ambiance was romantic, and they had live music that was a little loud but still really enjoyable. The service was top-notch from start to finish. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I'll definitely be back.

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.

    It's hard to put into words how great this place is. Have you ever been somewhere when everything…read morejust feels "right, balanced, happy"? That is Farish House. The cozy, intimate comfort of what used to be Coup des Tartes blended seamlessly with the deep, peaceful, gentle "love" you felt from House of Tricks into one calm, warm, easy spot. Farish House is a real, soul-warming experience across the board. The service, care, comfort, ambience, food, value and clear love they put into everything make Farish House our new favorite place. We walked through the front gate, up onto the front porch and inside where we took one of three small tables in the cozy front salon of this soul-warming 1899 French Bistro. *Food: we started with a bottle of Australian Cab. Shockingly good. And not crazy expensive, especially on Thursday when bottles are 30% off, it was an amazing deal. Turns out, the owner, Greg, was in the wine distribution business for several decades, curating wine programs for top Valley restaurants, so he really knows his stuff and their vast wine selection is amazing. We were offered a basket of truffle popcorn, mmm, salty, crunchy, and rich. We ordered the Chef's Selection Charcuterie and Warm Noble Baguette & Marinated Olives to get started. Both were beautifully curated, balanced, and incredibly high quality. The flavors and textures blended perfectly. with cheeses broken from large wheels, rather than cut and sliced, house-made pickled grapes, unique and unusual ingredients, smokey meats, compound butters, just awesome! We then moved into one of the cozy dining rooms and ordered the slow roasted Peposo Short Ribs and fingerling potatoes pan fried in duck fat served with Moroccan spiced aioli. Both were rich, warm and delicious. For dessert, and yes we thought we'd explode from all this food, we ordered a massive slice of bread pudding, some of the best I've ever had, rich, gooey and incredible. Along with that we ordered a beautiful Espresso Martini and an off-menu banana cream martini. Their drinks are not "poured" or mixed here, they're balanced and expertly crafted. This is French Bistro comfort food at its finest and it's unmistakeable. *Service: it just doesn't get better. Everyone working there is "family". And that's how they make you feel; like family, cared for, wanted, welcomed. Service isn't a choreographed masterpiece, no tuxedos, cloths draped over arms, napkins frantically re-folded when you step away, dishes served and cleared in unison. No, it's relaxed, warm, friendly, kind, like being at your grandmothers house and knowing you're surrounded by people who care. Met Greg and Katherine, the owners, and their daughter Alexandra and several other "family" members taking care of us. Their appreciation for your presence is unmistakable. *Ambience: it's just plain comfy, cozy, easy, relaxed, warm, deep, gentle, worn (in a good way), wise, and calm, that's the best I can describe it. Hard wood floors, cozy rooms, soft, warm lighting. It's a non-pretentious, French bistro that feels like the home of a favorite grandma or great aunt living in a warm family cottage in the outskirts of Paris. *Value: it's perfect. It's not ridiculously expensive like Kai, Brinkley's, Cafe Monarch, Christopher's, or French Laundry where you go, "okay, that was fun but we'll only do this very occasionally/rarely and it's probably worth it, but dang that was pricey!" No, Farish House is 100% value to experience, not cheap, but not overpriced, the balance is just right. It's a place you can go often, and we will. Yes, our meal with apps, drinks and dessert, some on happy hour and the Thursday wine special, was around $200. I'd happily say this experience was worth every penny. *Overall: I can't recommend Farish House highly enough. Parking is on the street or in a nearby lot, and that's a downtown thing. There's a small lot in back. The food, ambience, service, quality, and experience were stellar. I wish I could rate them 6 stars instead of just 5. I'll return often and highly recommend Farish House to everyone. I genuinely hope you enjoy as much as we did!

We arrived just around dusk and since the weather was beautiful, we got a table on the patio. There is such a contrast of two vintage homes, one being the Farish House in a sea of highrise buildings in downtown Phoenix! If you like a restaurant with a great wine selection, this is your place. I was lucky enough to have both of the owners (Kathryn and Greg) come by and greet us. This bottle (pictured below) of Pinot Noir was suggested to us, and we decided to have with our meals since our chosen dishes were beef and pork. One of the best wines I have had recently. We had the stuffed date appetizers which were devoured so quickly I did not have a chance to snap a pho My friend chose the beef short rib dish, which was well presented and extremely flavorful. After carefully reading each item, it was very hard to make a choice. I ended up with the pork chop meal, see cauliflower/potato mash, asparagus, and the awesome sauce along with the perfectly cooked pork chop made my taste buds very happy! We had service by Ella who is fabulous and also got to meet the owners daughter Alexandria. But there's more! After much deliberation and compromise, we both decided to share the bread pudding. I have been to New Orleans many times where they make fantastic bread pudding. The Farish House bread pudding can stand up to the best of the bread pudding in New Orleans and that is saying a lot. If you are a foodie and like local family owned businesses, this is your spot. Since I am only visiting, I will not be here for their Saturday Tea Service! Thank you so much for providing me with another wonderfu and delicious memory of my Phoenix visit. As Arnold Schwarzenegger says "I'll be back!" Bob, the Farish House cat ‍ was a delightful "host" as well.

(I did not. I ordered a full breakfast and a waffle like an adult with priorities.) I went around 9:15am on a Wednesday--only a few tables were occupied, and the staff was super friendly, gave great recommendations, and the food came out fast. Inside is dialed in with chandeliers, French-y posters and photos everywhere, and a pastry case with tarts, pastries, and cheesecake that basically dares you to behave. The croissant was the star... fresh, flaky, light, buttery... exactly what you want. The egg was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted into it almost like a mini omelette (loved that). My only hiccup was the "bacon." It leaned more limp pork belly than crispy bacon and had a distinct smoke flavor that wasn't the traditional hardwood/hickory vibe I'm used to. Also... because the cheese and egg are fused together, it's basically impossible to pick the bacon out once it's in there. Next time I'd order it without bacon or ask for it on the side and make it crispy. It came with a side salad, which is not what I expected with breakfast, but it was actually great, fresh spring mix and a delicious dressing with a subtle sweet undertone. There were also hash browns with a crispy exterior and soft, warm interior, exactly the texture you hope for I just wish there were more of them! Because I have no self-control around French cafes, I also ordered the Belgian waffle with fruit and whipped cream. The waffle was warm and tasty, more tender/soft than crispy, and I ended up preferring it to the 'scrape the roof of your mouth' style that most restaurants serve up. The whipped cream tasted freshly whipped and the fruit selection was generous. My only critique: I'd skip the granulated sugar on top. The waffle is sweet enough already, and biting into sugar crystals isn't my favorite texture. For a drink I tried the blueberry lavender matcha. It had crushed blueberries in it, but the matcha flavor was pretty mild and the lavender got lost. I also would've liked a touch more sweetness from the syrup but overall it drank a bit "soft" and subtle. Bottom line... really cool little spot with friendly service, quick food, and a pastry case that will absolutely ruin any plan you had to "just eat light." I'll be back but next time I'm customizing that croissant sandwich and letting the pastries talk me into bad decisions.

This outstanding Bistro delivers superb hospitality, and exquisite food in a lovely setting. The hosts could not have been more gracious and kind in their hospitality. Everything was so refined yet casual and delightful and incredibly delicious. Their lovely patio on a day like today couldn't be better for our extraordinary dinner for our birthday celebration. I myself had the smoked salmon and goat cheese salad. Some of the very best smoked salmon I've ever had to be honest, followed by their seafood choucroute. The pace of the meal was perfect. Everybody enjoyed their meal in our party of seven. The dessert were equally superb in taste and presentation. Once again our most sincere thanks and hope to see you again very soon!

I had bouillabaisse and it was the best thing I have eaten in a long time. It has a little kick to it, which I think may have been produced by ginger. Anyhow, I enjoyed every bite of it. I would order this again in a heartbeat. The service was great. It was lunchtime and they weren't awfully busy so we were served right away and our food came in a reasonable time The ambience was fine. There was a table of guys who were all coworkers, apparently, and they were quite loud, but that was toward the end of our lunch and it didn't really bother us too much.

She checked on us often and kept us smiling. In fact, the rest of the team found a way to always be clearing plates, refilling water etc. Kudos to the team. We were prepared to splurge a little and had the dinner for two. I ordered the Le Village Sparkling Blood Orange Soda. It comes in a large reclosable bottle. I kept refilling my glass and still had half a bottle to bring home. Oh, and the sparking soda was light and delicious! Your opening dish is a choice of soup or salad but neither my husband nor I can resist French Onion Soup. We chose the haricots verts with lemon, shiitakes and almonds and the frites with smoked paprika and herbs to go with our ribeye. Everything was prepared very well. The dinner was topped off with Valrhona chocolate soufflé with chocolate sauce. While the chocolate sauce was fine I think I'd try the mint or Grand Marnier sauce next time. Zinc Bistro doesn't offer you anything for your anniversary but they did present our dessert with a sparkler which was festive of them. We were happy we chose Zinc to celebrate our special occasion and would most likely return.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the open kitchen right at the bar, and the views through the wraparound glass are amazing. All of the food was great. I had the goat cheese salad, and it was perfectly fried with a light vinaigrette dressing. The duck was the best I've ever had. It wasn't greasy or gamey at all and had a really nice smoky flavor from the wood-fired grill. The desserts were amazing as well. The soufflé was one of the best I've ever had--not overcooked like so many others, but still soft and creamy inside. The chocolate mousse was great too. I loved the texture of the shell combined with the smoothness of the mousse. The service was top-notch. We never had to ask for anything; the staff was attentive throughout the entire meal without being overbearing. For the quality of the food, atmosphere, service, and overall experience, I thought the price was perfect. You could easily spend more at a high-end steakhouse and not get an experience this good. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it.

For those familiar with Kevin Binkley's former projects, there are hints of what we used to experience at his restaurants but this takes it over the top. The evening was full of surprises, culinary theater and the gorgeous view makes it unforgettable. We used to eat at Christopher's at the Biltmore and it was wonderful to see this playful and stylish iteration. The food was phenomenal, interesting, well-excuted and so very enjoyable. There were a few service hiccups. We were served the same course twice (which was promptly removed when we notified our server). There was a significant gap between two of the courses (maybe 20 minutes or so) and it felt odd. The kitchen knew that I am pescetarian and they beautifully accommodated me except when a plate of lamb appeared in front of me (it was quickly rectified). This is definitely a special occasion meal and if you're looking for something unique and delicious, this is it.
