    Duck Fat Hashbrowns
    Hayden J.

    Celebrated my best friend's birthday here under a reservation for 8 people, and I have to say that the service and quality of the food were excellent. We were expecting to be seated in the main dining area, but they led us into the private dining room. It was definitely unexpected, but we were excited nonetheless. It provided a very intimate setting where we could hear each other without shouting, which really provided the perfect atmosphere for the birthday celebration. I loved the attention and humor provided by our server that night. They really made the atmosphere so welcoming. My favorite dish of the night had to be the steak tartare. It was melt in your mouth, and the toasted baguette added great texture without overpowering the tartare. I ended up ordering the steak frites and subbed in the truffle fries. Although it was good, I do have to note that the cut of steak was pretty fatty and the truffle fries were a little salty for my liking. It was still very good, just something to note when you order. I wasn't able to try the chicken my friend ordered, but it seemed to be a table favorite! If I am able to come back, I will definitely have to try it! Overall, I had a wonderful experience here.

    Came here for a celebratory brunch after graduating grad school and we had a lovely time. The restaurant is gorgeous and tables are well spaced. Cocktails were delicious, as were the steak frites and my family both enjoyed their meals as well. The hit though was the dessert. I'm already a sucker for crème brûlée, and I loved it, but my family isn't big on dessert, the the sticky toffee pudding had them in heaven.

    Went here for my birthday dinner! We had a reservation for 8 people and they gave us a private room. The room was a really nice touch for the night. Our server was so lovely and really personable. The steak tartare was good and i loved the bread that came with it, it was perfectly toasted with butter. The star of the show was the truffle roasted chicken, the chicken wasn't dry at all and it was paired with a savory, little sweet sauce, I highly recommend. I will definitely be coming back.

    Escargot (old version, absolute fav) still craving this!

    Where do I begin? This place is OUTSTANDING The service is top notch and every single employee is on top of it. I've been several times as I'm starting to become a regular. 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!

    Birthday Card

    Had a wonderful dining experience at this establishment for my birthday. I was able to make a reservation online and our table was available upon arrival. They were really sweet and put us at a booth with candlelight and ambience was just pretty romantic. This restaurant really made me feel special on my birthday. I really enjoyed that they gave me a handwritten card and everyone was just very happy to be there. Our server was a delight and I would definitely come back here. For the food, we both end up ordering steak and frites as it was an offering on that evening and included unlimited fries. My husband could not get enough of this. He also got the truffle fries which were flavored just right. My steak was done perfectly and the flavor was just right. We also were able to have some drinks and our server was able to score us some beer from a nearby establishment that was on tap that was delicious. The icing on top of the evening is that they gave me a complementary crème brûlée for my birthday and it was very good. I'm not even a big crème brûlée person, but the char on top of the crème brûlée was so crispy and so caramelized that you could not resist eating that entire thing. All in all, I would definitely come back here. I would love to try some of the other items on the menu. Plus the espresso smelled amazing. I will say that this is a place you should get a reservation for because it was very busy. But the experience itself was perfect and just looking at all the cute outfits that the staff was wearing was a vibe. Btw the robust amount of management that came by to check on our table was authentic. It just ensured that they were about you having a good experience. This Parisian restaurant is located inside of the global ambassador so you are able to valet your car or you can also park in the nearby garage. This happened to be our third time here and we were not aware that we could get validation for parking in the nearby garage.

    Everything about my life experience was top tier! Went for brunch with my bestie for our bdays and our waiter was the absolute best! Definitely on the pricier side, but service, food, atmosphere, were all worth it!

    UPDATE on my review: I went here for brunch and I'm disappointed at how beautiful the hotel is and the coffee is just meh. I even ordered a second latte in hopes the first one was just a mess up but they both were tasteless, watery and not elevated given it's a very expensive hotel. The quiche was very good but salad was eh as well. It was just spring mix tossed with olive oil. They do validate parking if you park in the parking garage but I would skip out on the coffee bar here.

    Holy smokes - this is a meal I'll be wanting again and again. Recently visited on a breakfast date and decided to truly indulge. The service was stellar from the get-go, and we were quickly seated and tended to. The coffee was flavorful and yet not overly sweet, which paired great once our savory meal arrived. The duck fat hashbrowns are out of this world and I wish these could be my breakfast more often. The crispy exterior pairs so well with the delicate and gooey interior. Not to mention the sauce it is paired with is amazing. We split the French dip and eggs Benedict which was more than enough food for two. We followed up the meal with sticky toffee pudding which brought the whole experience to a perfect closing. Our server was attentive and helpful in terms of providing suggestions on pairings. We will definitely be back!

    Drink menu. They have zero proof drinks too

    Wow! This place lives up to the hype. We have been intending to make our way over here for sometime now. We came on Memorial Day for lunch. I wasn't sure how full it was going to be so I made a reservation online for 11:45 am. FYI we did our own self parking outside the garage but we found parking can get validated here. It wasn't too full and we got seated right away. The inside is beautiful and elegant. Service was excellent. Everyone was so attentive. I started off with the pressed juice, Parisian Cure: Carrot, Apple, Cucumber, Ginger, Lemon. It was so good! That is usually my to go to blend of fruits and veggies for a pressed juice. Very natural tasting and perfect. 5/5. You can take these to go which I will in the future. Fair price too compared to other places. My partner has the L'orange martini: Park VS. Apricot Liqueur, Cointreau, Lemon, Orange Oil. He found it strong (but that's the nature of martinis), flavorful and refreshing. He enjoyed it 5/5. Next up we shared the French onion soup and Caesar salad and they were made into our own individual portions. French onion soup wax to die for! By far my favorite onion soup I've had. 5/5 The Caesar salad called the, cacio e Pepe Caesar was simple but perfect. Dressing wasn't too peppery and great in flavor. I was worried about the croutons being more crumbled but it still added the perfect crunch. 5/5 Next up, main dish: steak frites. Amaaaazing! We've been on a mission to look for a yummy steak frites and everywhere we've been we have been disappointed (flavor off, sauce terrible, temperature of meat over or under cooked, steak quality not good, fries unimpressive). HOWEVER that was not the case here! EVERYTHING was delicious. The steak was cooked to perfect. Flavor was simple yet enough. The quality of the steak was good for what it was. Got the classic fries and they were beautifully made with crisp crunchy outside and soft inside. Salty but not too salty fries that hit perfect with every bite. Looooooved! 5/5 I came in with skepticism but left with happy stomach and heart! This place definitely lived up to the hype. Happy we came. I would love to check out the coffee/matcha in the future. I also would love to find back to check out the dinner since we loved it so much. What a great experience. Definitely recommend!

    Redemption! Went back and gave Le Ame a second chance and they absolutely redeemed themselves. What an amazing dinner we had. Every course was great but my favorite was the steak frites. Perfectly cooked medium rare, the seasoning on the steak was perfect and hot crispy fries to go with it. Service and ambience was also amazing this time around as we went for dinner and not brunch. All in all, a great meal for the 5 of us and we all walked out saying we can't wait to come back.

    Wonderful service very nice atmosphere... It was very busy... We went for the $35 steak and fry meal The garlic aïoli was amazing and I'm really glad that they offer truffle fries as an option instead of just plain fries

    Crème brûlée for four of us
    Christine B.

    Definitely an upscale busy restaurant here but they work to earn your respect by paying attention to the basics of service. They're friendly, courteous, and focus in on the reason for your visit. In this case we were celebrating a big birthday for my mom and Jenna made sure she felt special and welcomed. The basics here are also handled well- food coming out quickly, plates being cleared away etc. My sister and I shared a Prime Rib French Dip and I enjoyed every aspect of it. The bread can make or break the sandwich but it was the perfect consistency and I loved the garlic butter on it. Gruyère was a good choice for the cheese. We appreciated that Jenna brought a complimentary crème brûlée for my mom's birthday but she took it a step further. She arranged for us to have the larger size so that the four of us could split the dessert - truly going above and beyond. The valet area is a little hectic ( and $) but you do have the option to self park instead. Le Âme was a nice spot to celebrate with our mother.

    Came here and tried the salted maple latte, so good! Also tried the lemon blueberry danish. The service was great, she had some awesome recommendations and was very friendly. The space is great if you want to grab a coffee and/or study. There's lots of people on their laptops studying. Definitely want to come back when I need to get some work done. I want to come back and try their espresso martini!

This last time we just got small bites to share and everything was delicious. We started with some really good. oysters. We also tried the melon & guanciale and confit leeks to accompany the little gems and I couldn't pick a favorite because they were all so good. On this latest visit they also had just opened the second floor to seating. I'm surprised they didn't do it sooner because I loved the nice quiet intimate setting on the second floor.

    My husband and I love French food, so we were excited to finally check out Sottise. Located inside…read morean old house in downtown Phoenix, Sottise has such a cool, unique vibe. 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.

We also ordered the seared foie gras, but found it a bit too gamey for our taste, so that one wasn't for us. For our entrees, we had the crispy duck confit sandwich, the filet mignon, and the provençal bouillabaisse. The duck confit sandwich was rich thanks to the house pâté, yet never felt overly greasy, and they were very generous with the duck. For the filet mignon, it was initially served at the wrong temperature, but the staff quickly corrected it and brought out a fresh steak cooked to a perfect temp, it was juicy and tender, though fairly standard. The bouillabaisse was loaded with seafood, the broth was rich and tasted intensely of the sea, but the bread served on top was just okay. Dessert ended on a high note with the chocolate soufflé. It requires a 20-minute bake time, but it is well worth the wait, the rich, warm chocolate paired with cold ice cream was incredible! The crème brûlée, by comparison, was kinda average.

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.

    Café Paris was such a cute little find in an unexpected location! We have driven past this shopping…read morecenter many times and had no idea it was even there. After seeing an Instagram reel featuring the café, we decided to give it a try. We ordered the breakfast burrito and a made-to-order omelet with sourdough toast and a croissant. We also tried the vanilla and caramel iced coffees. There was plenty of parking, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was quaint and charming. There were a few things I would do differently next time. Both the breakfast burrito and omelet were a little too wet for my preference, so I would ask for my eggs to be cooked a bit drier. The omelet was also very generously filled with vegetables--almost to the point that there was hardly any egg! I ended up with quite a few leftover veggies that I was simply too full to finish. The sourdough toast with jam was perfect and probably one of my favorite parts of breakfast. The croissant was on the dry side, so I would set expectations accordingly if you are looking for a very soft, fresh pastry. I have never been to Paris, so I cannot speak to how it compares to an authentic Parisian café experience! The iced coffee was good, although I prefer mine sweeter. That is an easy adjustment to request next time. One suggestion regarding seating: if you are sensitive to smells, I would recommend sitting farther away from the restrooms. They appear to be older and there was a noticeable musty smell in that area. The floors could also have used a little more attention. I would also love to see purse hooks added underneath the tables. We did not want to occupy a four-person table just so I had somewhere to put my purse, but I also did not want to place it on the floor. I have seen some people suggest that the positive reviews for Café Paris must be fake, but I certainly do not think that is the case. Dining experiences often come down to personal preferences. I would have preferred sweeter coffee and drier eggs, but both are things I can easily request differently next time. The food was still fresh, flavorful, and enjoyable. Overall, Café Paris is a cute little hidden gem with friendly service and a charming atmosphere. There are a few things I would change based on my personal preferences, but none of them would keep me from returning. I will definitely be back!
