Duck Fried Rice! Don't make the mistake that we made. We ordered a serving of Duck Fried Rice to share. We should have ordered one portion of Duck Fried Rice for each person. Everything else was good, but the Fuck Fried Rice was exceptional. The room is comfortable and the service was attentive. read more

Hush Public House is a must try when visiting Scottsdale. While the outside is unassuming in a strip mall, the inside is filled with lovely hospitality and some serious culinary talent. The small rotating menu guarantees incredibly fresh ingredients delivered at their best quality. Food reviews: Crab hush puppies--thick crispy outside perfectly encapsulates the airy center loaded with crab and corn kernels. Remoulade gives the flavor a nice bite Duck fried rice--one bite and you can see why this dish doesn't leave the menu. The umami flavor was insane. Egg perfectly cooked and duck was melt in your mouth tender. Our waitress warned me it was spicy but I didn't notice it Date cake--this dish is what I'll go to bed dreaming about. Cake was complimented so well by the bourbon toffee sauce. Perfect end to the meal, do not leave without trying it! read more

I mean... I just don't get it. Maybe I was destined to be disappointed ordering a fried rice dish as an Asian at an American restaurant? But damn it wasn't even close to be it. The fried rice was so mid with only a little bit of meat. I only ordered it since it was a "signature dish" but there was nothing signature about it. Nothing special or even different than a regular fried rice dish, besides the fact it was mid. Any Chinese restaurant can probably outdo this. AND IT WAS $40! Which is really comical. The other dish was much better though. Forgot the name but beef on a toast. A bit on the saltier side but at least I can see why it's a signature dish. I don't know what the heck I ate after an almost $100 bill with no drinks or apps or desserts ordered. 10/10 WONT GO BACK. read more

What an absolutely fantastic dining experience on New Years Eve! From the moment we walked in, the vibe at Hush Public House felt like the perfect mix of casual yet special -- it's great for a relaxed date night or celebrating an occasion. For us, it served as both. The cozy space has an open kitchen which makes it fun to watch the chefs in action, when you sit at the bar tops. And when they are grilling up cuts of meat, the aroma in the air is divine! The service was warm and attentive during the meal. The thoughtful menu blends creative New American flavors with quality ingredients, and everything we tried was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I appreciate the emphasis on using local ingredients as possible. This meant the oysters that were super good, came from my favorite seafood spot in the Valley-- Chula Seafood. The menu has a range of price points, it can be a lighter meal and lower (not low) price point, or you can go all out and find yourself spending over $100/ person if having drinks, appetizers, mains, and dessert. We did the latter and it was well worth it! Every dish we ordered -- from starters to mains -- was delicious. Highlights included the grilled oysters, crispy pig face, Iberico pork, and braised oxtail in the Italian beef plus the date cake. So that's everything we ordered, lol. Cocktails and wine pairings complemented the food perfectly. Hush Public House is a must-visit for anyone who loves bold flavors and impeccably cooked dishes. We will definitely come back and try other dishes! read more

Been here multiple times and it never disappoints! The food is always delicious, service is great, and the ambiance is fantastic for date night out. My favorite cocktail is Drama in the Desert, favorite appetizer is whipped eggplant, and favorite entree is duck fried rice. All of their food is delicious and unique. Can get very busy on weekend evenings, so highly recommend making a reservation. read more

Located in a strip mall, this restaurant doesn't say much from outside except the abundance or parking. Once you walk through the doors you smile and absorb the warm atmosphere, friendly staff greeting you and a simple yet elegant setting. We went on a Tuesday night and scored as they have a three course tasting menu but a la carte sizes. We started with oysters, crispy cauliflower, cantaloup with melon curry and crab hush puppies. Already quite pleased with everything and almost full we continued with main courses of corvina ( my now favorite fish), Italian beef and steak frites. Full stomachs we still managed to gulp down the scrumptious desserts : date cake and chocolate bodino. Wonderful and perfect birthday celebration. Grazzie Mille chef and crew! read more

We had a fabulous dinner here for our first night in Scottsdale. We sat at the bar and watched the chefs preparing the meals- a dinner and show in one! Our server was prompt and friendly. For drinks he recommended the Little Miss BBQ Old Fashioned and the Drama in the Desert cocktail. We had one of each. They were well balanced and smooth. For an appetizer we shared the spaghetti squash. It doesn't sound exciting but my husband declared it the best squash he has ever had. We shared the stroganoff for our entree which was unique with the rye croutons and the pickles. We had the save room for the date cake which was out of this world. We enjoyed the entire experience and look forward to coming back soon. read more

Decided to celebrate my birthday dinner here! I've heard of hush through the grapevine occasionally but not often. Needless to say I was excited to try it. First and foremost, it's tucked away and almost hidden with just the words "Hush" displayed to indicate where it is. It's a very dark, moody but lively restaurant. One side is the bar the other side more restaurant style. Our server, sarina or zarina, was lovely and walked through the menu with us. The menu seemed quite creative. We started with the hush puppies, whipped eggplant and the mussels. One thing to note is that the mussel took and exorbitant amount of time to come out. Probably at least half an hour, but I don't know if that's typical or not. So while we waited, we enjoyed the crab hush puppies and the whipped eggplant. The hush puppies have an amazing crunchy exterior and fluffy, hot center. They have a good flavor, not fishy at all, and have a wonderful remoulade to pair with. The whipped eggplant was more reminiscent of a hummus, very tahini forward. The lamb neck was delicious and tender with a touch of fattiness. This dish is very middle eastern inspired and rich! When we finally got the mussels, they were fine. Very curry, tikka masala inspired. I appreciated it but it's not the best rendition I've had. The mussels themselves were HUGE, which was nice. Loved the garbanzo beans in there too. We split the Sonoran pasta which was like a bed stroganoff with a twist. The addition of croutons and pickles was odd for sure, but not awful. The pasta was cooked perfectly and retained its integrity which I love. Very creamy delicious sauce. Unfortunately, by the time we were finished with the entree we had to go so I can't attest to any birthday desserts or specials they do. All in all it's a good place. Very neighborhood charm, kind of well kept secret place. Our bill was 150$ for the 3 of us, including one drink each. Fairly priced I'd say. I would go back to explore the menu more. They have a great bar area that I would like to sit at. This place is good for families and even a date night for sure. The separation between dining room and bar allows for every occasion. read more

Hush was an absolute delight! Great vibe, classy with bar seats. Friendly ambiance and service. The chicken liver mousse was rich and decadent, the sour cherries were good. Personally I preferred them on the side but still a nice touch. And that bread? Absolutely snitched to perfection. The endive salad was a fresh surprise--loved every bite, minus the sliced fruit, but the goat cheese was a fantastic touch that tied it all together. The charred octopus looked so good but we were full before we could enjoy it. Bummer! Guests were raving about it though. Service was top-notch, and Zach behind the chef's bar made the experience even better. Appreciated him so enthusiastically, engaging with all over questions and curiosity about dishes! Definitely a spot worth revisiting! read more

Hush Public House - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

( This is the fourth of five reviews I've prepared for describing some of the food I ate while I was out in Phoenix, Arizona. ) My second-to-last review of my Phoenix food trip took me to a place that I'd heard about from both YouTube and my co-workers. I wanted to splurge a little bit on a fantastic meal before I went back home, so I asked my co-workers for more information to see what they recommended -- and did they deliver! One recommendation in particular stood out because I've heard of it before. That place is Hush Public House! Located on North Scottsdale Road across from the Scottsdale Airport, I actually heard about Hush from local culinary bad boy Guy Fieri, who featured it and its Marine veteran chef, Dom Ruggiero, on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I'd completely forgotten about it until my co-worker mentioned it as one of his favorite places in town -- and not knowing if and when I'd return to Phoenix, of course that meant driving all the way out to Scottsdale to check the place out after running around Tempe Town Lake all afternoon! When I arrived, I was greeted by Mike the bartender, who immediately helped me feel at home as I looked through the menu. The food here at Hush is unlike anything I'd seen back home in Vegas -- full of unique offerings and culinary spins on classic dishes, I spent fifteen minutes or so deciding what I wanted to eat! Thank goodness Mike was there to guide me through the menu and recommend some of his personal favorite dishes! I ended up getting a little bit of everything from the menu -- and I'm glad I did. Their offerings are one of a kind and unlike anything I'd ever tasted. From the indulgent yet surprisingly light eggplant with lamb neck, to the flavorful and mysterious lion's mane au poivre, the dishes I had were nothing short of a culinary tour de force. Even the dessert I ended up getting was outstanding -- the date cake with Bourbon caramel and vanilla ice cream is basically their take on the classically British sticky toffee pudding, one of my favorite desserts and one that's surprisingly hard to find in Las Vegas. Needless to say, I polished my plate; special thanks to Mike for his recommendations and making my experience here so memorable! Don't let its location in the middle of an unassuming strip mall fool you -- Hush is easily one of the best dining experiences Phoenix and Scottsdale has to offer. I can easily see this place being extremely popular among the choosy crowd here in Las Vegas should Dom ever decide to expand out here! Even now I'm still dreaming of and drooling over their lion's mane au poivre and date cake -- that's how memorable this place was to me. Whether you're from out of town like I am, or you're a Scottsdale / Phoenix local looking for a good place to eat, do yourself a favor and make your way over to Hush for a good meal and a great time! read more

Food was AMAZING and staff was very friendly. The ambiance here is awesome, we sat at a table this time around but next time will probably sit at the bar for a different experience. They made my husband feel very special on his birthday with a little candle in our dessert, which was a treat considering that I didn't mention his birthday throughout dinner and only listed it when we made our reservation. Overall, a 11/10 experience! read more

Arrived Tuesday for a late dinner. Service was great. We ordered from their set menu - crab hush puppies (nicely seasoned and deep fried golden brown); Mussels (delicious broth. So good, we took leftover broth home); finished with Date Cake (just a hint of date flavor with bourbon sauce and vanilla gelatin). This is an upscale restaurant tucked in a strip mall (near Goodwill). read more

Great food and great atmosphere. Awesome spot for happy hour as well. Will definitely try again when in town.

Hush Public House was my favorite meal of the weekend. The food is definitely "heavier" than other types of cuisine, but everything was so, so delicious. My friends and I ordered the following (with my favorites from the top to the bottom even though I enjoyed all of them): - Rigatoni with peas and bacon - Duck fried rice - Whipped eggplant with lamb neck - Fried cauliflower - Fried brusssel sprouts I ordered a glass of vinho verde, and we also had the date cake for dessert. The date cake wasn't my favorite, but I was glad to end my meal on a sweet note. read more

So we're here on vacation and HAD to go back. The chefs and servers are amazing. To watch them work together is so much fun and gives you a deeper appreciation of the quality of the food.

Hands down, Hush has the most creative vegetable dishes in the Valley. After having the cauliflower here a few years ago, we were inspired to eat more cauliflower at home. At our most recent visit, we came for the lion's mane au poivre (what?!?!!!!!!) but the green beans absolutely and unequivocally stole the show. Everything is consistently outstanding. The aforementioned mushroom dish? Killer. Unlike anything else you've had, guaranteed. There was a new lamb-filled pasta dish on the menu. Outrageous. And yet, the green beans are what I'm still thinking about a week later. We generally sit at the bar and love the staff interactions. If it's slow, sometimes one of the chefs will come over and explain the dishes themselves. Always fun. The glamour shot of an elementary-aged Dom in the ladies bathroom is a hilarious touch. Love the space, love the drinks, always love the food. And seriously, order the vegetables. read more

I googled best restaurants around me and Hush popped up! I quickly made a reservation and upon arrival I was greeted by a friendly hostess. The atmosphere was dim, yet welcoming. My server gave great recommendations for me who does not eat pork and my guest who is pescatarian. I started with a spicy infused margarita, cauliflower and ended with the fried rice. The food was excellent! I cannot wait to come back and visit while I am Arizona next March! read more

We had an amazingly delicious dinner here last night! The cocktails were unusual and yummy. We split a gem salad to start. It was scrumptious! Such an unusual combination of flavors. Then I ordered the Sonoran pasta which was the best pork ragu I have ever had. My husband ordered the scallops which he loved! He would have licked the plate if he was home! Then we shared the date cake with the gelato and toffee sauce. A wonderful dinner!! We will go back soon!! read more

Saw this joint featured on Food Network with Guy Fiery, had to stop by for my first time back to Phoenix in the last two decades. Italian Beef was recommended and it sure was worth the trip! Served was friendly and informative. Night time the spot is a bit dark, so if you're a foodie too, highly recommend to go during the day, so you can see the food better & have some good pics taken. read more

We've been through low Been through sunshine, been through snow All the colours of the weather We've been through high Every corner of the sky And still we're holding on together You got all my love... We wanted to love the... Hush Public House (Hush)... This Hush Restaurant is cold and uncomfortable w. poor lighting.. We ordered to share, an Appetiser of "Grilled Oysters", quite tasty... A "Frisée Salad" w. pear and candied walnuts..very enjoyable And "Confit Duck Fried Rice w. loads of Quack and Grilled Onions..good flavour, not heated properly.. A Server abruptly served all three dishes at us at once.. As if our table needed to be turned soon after. We sent back the Duck Dish to be served after our Appi and Salad were finished...Only to come back to us luke warm... This was a disappointing Anniversary Celebration for these Baby Boomers..

Delicious and cosy! Definitely try liver pate- insanely tasty and generous amount! Salmon was tender! Italian beef -it's oxtail pulled and smoked (I guess) on a piece of thick toast. They have none alcoholic beer (my husband doesn't drink) and cocktails are fancy!) read more

This is our 2nd visit to Hush and for the 2nd time, we were not disappointed. This place is a diamond in the rough. It may be in a strip mall but the menu and the staff are nothing but fine dining. The kitchen is up front in the bar area which gives any seat at the bar dinner and a show. The first time we came we ordered the oysters, crab hush puppies and the pork chop(pork chop no longer on the menu). Everything was meticulously crafted and delicious. Tonight we ordered the cauliflower, crispy skin salmon and the rigatoni. Everything was delicious but the rigatoni was spectacular! We also ordered the date cake for dessert both times because it is absolutely amazing. The cocktail's are also really delicious. We really like the Little Miss BBQ Old Fashioned! Special note, they use as many local ingredients as possible, which makes everything extra special. Highly recommended! read more

We returned a second time after several years. We did a double date for the AZ restaurant week ($55/person) and it was a crowded Friday night. The crispy cauliflower and date cake were amazing! The halibut seemed off, halibut texture was not halibut.. it was dry & flaky ...perhaps over-done? Two of us having it agreed. The Italian beef was flavorful, similar to an open faced hot beef sandwich. The 4 prefix + 5 drinks/cocktails about $400 with tip. read more

Saw this place on DDD and have wanted to try it ever since. So for my birthday, I chose this place I think it was pushing the higher end of the $$ rating that it has. Spent $200 for 4 people with only 2 drinks. Of course I had to try the Italian Beef. It was good, but a little too salty. My daughter ordered the Pan roasted branzino, which was very good. All-in-all, it was a good meal, just a bit pricey. read more

A friend of mine suggested we go here so we couldn't say no. The place doesn't look like much from the outside and it's in a strip mall as well. We made reservations just in case they were busy on the weekend. We arrived on time and waited just a few minutes before they sat us down. The place looked really nice inside, nice ambience. You can sit at the bar if you want to see the cooks cooking. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara or Paso Robles (sorry forgot which area). The wine was cold so they must keep their wine in fridges that are pretty cold temperature wise. The taste wasn't there being that it was too cold, so we let it rest for awhile to come close to room temperature. Once we did that, the wine was perfect, great flavor and tannins. We ordered some appetizers Cauliflower and the Hush puppies. The cauliflower was made nice and crispy with some garlic cheesy flavor. Top five I've ever had. The hush puppies were cooked good and was pretty good. It couldn't have used some more crab inside to help get that crab flavor. The dipping sauce was just okay. For our entrees, we ordered the Italian beef and the duck fried rice. The Italian beef was more like an open beef sandwhich with veggies, and a beef broth. The beef was tender and cooked perfect along with the veggies, the broth was a little salty, but overall, a great dish. The duck fried rice was cooked great, great flavor, rice was crispy, the duck was tender and didn't have the gamey flavor, and the dish was a good portion size. If you are looking for a good place to eat and drink, I suggest trying this place out. read more

I've passed this place numerous times and never noticed it, across the parking lot from "Rooster's" (another great place), today, a friend of mine mentioned "Hush Public House", having seen it on an older DDD episode. We decided to give it a shot and were VERY pleased! I had the Italian Beef - Wow! Fantastic! My wife had the Steak Frites, she said it was also awesome. Our friends had the Sonoran Pasta and the Duck Fried Rice, everyone agreed that the food was amazing!

Everything went well. We walking in to the dimly lit cozy restaurant with an open kitchen and upbeat bartenders. The whipped ricotta with lamb was sublime.

Hush Public House - Chicken liver pate, delicious! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

The average lifespan of a restaurant is said to be 3-4 to 5 years in the Phoenix area and it is not surprising that Chef Dom's Hush has been up and running for over 6 years at this point! The food continues to be consistently delicious and local ingredient driven. Service has always been top-notch and the kitchen is as accommodating at it can be. Sam and other have taken wonderful care of us and Chef Alex is always concerned about the quality of the delivered product. The atmosphere is what the name implies...Public House. It is not pretentious yet the food is creative, as high end as you like, and always imaginative. Thank you Chef Dom and Crew with a special appreciation for Regina and FOH management as well. read more
