A hidden, but well known gem in Phoenix, Sottise is an upscale restaurant set in what looks like a renocated Phoenix home from the 20s or 30s. I don't believe the server knew how to handle the less than formal style of the group I was with, but they did not turn us away and provided phenomenal service. The drinks had elegant garnish, and were well made. The most complicated might have been a vodka soda, but the additional touch was nice. For a start we ordered the oysters, which was kept everyone stuck between being nice and fair, and wanting to take all for themselves. We also ordered the octupus which was very good. For my main, I had the salmom rillete. Well made and pesented - I only thought to take pictures after I ate. Our group was never rushed for the bill and we enjoyed a beautiful evening sitting on their porch. I am looking forward to going back more "prepared" and enjoying their seabass or beef bourguignon. read more

I stumbled across this restaurant on Instagram and decided to give it a try--and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming. I chose to sit at the bar, which turned out to be the best decision. I tried the oysters, the escargot, and the burnt Madeleine dessert--each one was absolutely delicious. But the highlight of my experience was the bartender. He was young, charismatic, and made such great conversation. As a visitor, he made me feel genuinely welcome, which really elevated the entire experience. I believe his name was John C. (though for some reason I thought it was Liam!). Either way, he was fantastic. The gimlet he made incredible and expresso martini even better. I would highly recommend this restaurant--definitely sit at the bar if you can! read more

Enjoyed an incredible meal here for a moms night out. Beautiful house and enchanting outdoor space. Lovely ambiance overall. Outdoor tables could be a little more robust for bigger humans. Our service was wonderful, kind and patient staff. We tried a variety of dishes to share family style, all were great in their own ways. The cocktails were also tasty. The Baked Brie and honeynut Squash were the most memorable for me. Must order! read more

Went to Sottise downtown for an anniversary dinner the other day and had a great experience! This restaurant is small and perfect for an intimate dinner meal. The servers were great and helped suggest a few of their favorite dishes. We loved the Pistachio Pasta dish, the pasta was tossed in a delicious basil pesto and topped with pistachios which added great texture and flavor. I also loved the tuna crudo. I am not typically a capers fan but they paired perfectly with the tuna & shallots, this is a must-order! Everything else was great, especially the baked Brie which we ate before getting a picture. read more

I finally stopped in at Sottise for date night on October 3rd after passing by so many times, and wow I am so glad we did. We had no idea there was an oyster special, but once we found out, we went for it and ordered 14 (half east coast, half west coast). Each one was super fresh and briny in the best way. I asked our server for her favorite dish, and she said the beet salad--even though, like me, she's not usually a beet person. I just trusted her and went for it. She was so right. The salad was delicious, unlike any beet dish I've ever tried, and genuinely made me rethink beets entirely. We followed that with the steamed mussels, which were perfectly cooked and tender. For our main, we split the Short Rib Bourguignon. The short rib was insanely flavorful and fork-tender, and all the vegetables had soaked up the rich sauce. The vibe in the restaurant is cozy but lively, especially with the DJ spinning music that kept things fun but still intimate enough for conversation. All night I kept thinking, why did I wait so long to check this place out? Already planning my next visit. read more

We had a great time at Sottise! I absolutely love restaurants in old houses, I think they're so cute and charming and Sottise was exactly that. We were promptly greeted and seated upon walking in and the service remained fast and friendly throughout the night. All the food and drinks were amazing! One of my favorite parts was actually the music. They were playing lovely jazz music at just the right volume and it was a live DJ on a real record player playing the music which was so cool to watch. It's a pricey place but for a nice night out, it's definitely worth it. You'll need to make a reservation if you wan to get in on a weekend night but it's easy to make one on their website. read more

Final stop for our anniversary was Sottise! An excellent pick by my partner and I'll tell you why! We were immediately welcomed into the cozy restaurant by our waiter Josiah. He was incredible and super helpful all night! Even though we were accidentally 30min early to our reservation, he was able to accommodate us right away. He was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and wine list and was an amazing help to us to maximize our experience! You can tell that everyone working here really cares about the craft (: They have a real elaborate vinyl record system that played smooth jazz all night, and the ambiance is brick walls, low lighting, and bistro tables. Very cozy and feels upscale but vibey and intimate! We didn't sit on the patio due to the heat, but I imagine it would be VERY enjoyable in the cooler months. We sampled a ton of items on our visit- Baked Brie, the Jumbo Prawns (beware spicy horseradish cocktail sauce!!), fragrant and herby Pistou Pasta, and our first time try of Escargot! Josiah described it perfectly- earthy, mushroomy texture, subtle flavor with lots of garlic butter! Tastes great with a bite of bread. Apparently their menu rotates seasonally as well which means next time we visit, there will be even more fun pairings to try! Really excellent experience for me and my partner, this house makes for such a romantic little restaurant that I hope everyone gets to try at least once! Thank you so much Josiah and Sottise for making a very special anniversary dinner for us! read more

Sottise is one of my favorite restaurants I've been to in Phoenix! It's got a nice intimate feel with very friendly staff. Delicious cocktails. I've had one of my favorite espresso martinis here! They use coffee from Moxie Coffee Co. which is really cool. I love their vinyl spinning inside, warm lighting and overall vibes of the inside. Outside seating is nice too. Food here is delicious as well! All and all it's a great date night spot in Phoenix! I'll definitely be back! read more

I came to Sottise with a friend on a Saturday night expecting as great of a vibe as portrayed online, but was left a little disappointed. As expected, there was a wait, so I left my phone number and name at 7:32pm. I was told the wait is at least 45 minutes, which is expected on a weekend for a restaurant in downtown Phoenix, however I did not get a text update on that time frame, so by 8:50pm I decided to walk in and ask if our table was ready and then we were seated outside almost immediately. While it was quite windy and chilly for a night in April, they provided an outside heater which provided a more comfortable experience while eating and waiting for food. My friend and I decided to order sodas they make in-house, one being their lemon flavor and another being a grapefruit flavor. Both tasted relatively good, mixing both sweet and sour tastes. We wanted to start with the bread. However, they were out of the bread they make, which was surprising as it was a weekend night, so we would've expected that they make enough to match the amount of people they have coming in. They did not offer any alternative except for crackers which we declined. However, when the server actually gave us our dish we ordered, he did offer a different type of bread they carried, so I was left confused as to why our waiter did not decide to offer that as well. The food we ended up ordering was the French onion soup and baked oysters. The soup tasted as if it was just covered in bread and had no salt. The mussels were quite good. We ended the night with an espresso each, which tasted great. If it wasn't for the experience we had with the waiter who seemed as though they did not want to serve us the entire night, we may have had a better experience. read more

Mind blowing experience. Felt like we were back in France. The ambiance was amazing, the music, the service and the food!!!! We got the oysters and escargot for starters and it was perfection. Fresh to the max. Then we shared the 20 oz rib eye and the sweet potatoes. Not like standard orange sweet potatoes at all. Unique white ones with feta and fried sage. UNREAL! We will be back every 2 months. Dropped $200 and felt like it was the best money spent. read more

Several people recently have expressed Sottice be added our must try list. The restaurant is a stand alone, refurbished house in downtown Phoenix. It is a unique setting. We sat on the front porch, protected from the sun by a thick, lush hedge. It was fine even though the temperature was above 100. The space is very well done and only needed one item, a piece of fly paper to stop the pesky flies. The wait staff was spot on with the service, recommendations, describing dishes and giving us ampul times between services. We ordered the deviled eggs with crispy pork, capers and cornishon tampanade. They were delicious. The roasted beets with brown butter almonds, dill, lemon and horseradish were a true homerun with a great flavor profile and taste. The steamed mussels were served in a fumet, creame fraich and garlic. The broth had just the right amount of spice and a great taste. I do wish a piece of grilled bread had been included to help me enjoy the savory broth. Our final entree was the short rib bourguignon with root veggies, jus and horseradish. It was very flavorful. Overall, Sottise is a nice restaurant with a good vibe and delicious food. The music is a bit loud and the flies were pesky but that can be changed. The food and wait staff are exceptional. If you are in downtown Phoenix and looking for a unique dining experience, give Sottise a try. They will not disappoint. read more

Sottise shows why dining here feels like stepping into a small brasserie in France. Housed in a restored downtown Phoenix bungalow, the space blends intimacy and charm -- flickering candles, exposed brick, and shelves lined with French wine. Vintage records spin on a turntable, adding warmth and nostalgia, as though you've stepped into someone's living room. It's no surprise it was named Best French Restaurant 2024 by Phoenix New Times. For lovers of French food, Sottise delivers tradition, richness, and warmth with a light hand. The evening began with oysters and champagne -- a pairing as timeless as Paris itself. The briny chill of the oyster meets the crisp effervescence of the wine in perfect harmony. One standout version, oysters crowned with steak tartare, pairs chilled shellfish with delicately seasoned hand-cut beef, indulgent yet refreshing. Escargot de Bourgogne arrives bubbling in garlic butter and parsley, the sauce alone worth sopping up with bread. The French onion soup gratinée is classic: deeply caramelized broth capped with molten cheese that stretches with each spoonful. The roasted beets with brown-buttered almonds, horseradish crema, and dill bring an earthy, sharp contrast. The handmade pasta with lemon beurre, English peas, pistachio, sourdough breadcrumbs, and chive blossoms is bright, nutty, and textural -- a spring garden on a plate. Together, these dishes tell a story of brasserie classics given space to breathe in the desert. Whether it's oysters with champagne, bubbling gratin, or bread and butter, Sottise captures the romance of Paris without leaving Phoenix. For those who love French dining, this is the one restaurant you shouldn't miss. read more

I don't usually write negative reviews, but our experience at this French restaurant was frustrating enough that I think it's worth sharing. From the beginning, the service felt off. Our server didn't greet us, didn't smile, and generally gave off the impression that he didn't want to be there. Throughout the meal, we had to ask multiple times just to get our water glasses refilled, and when it finally happened, it felt like we were inconveniencing him. I get that restaurants can get busy, but this didn't feel like stress--it felt like indifference. As for the food, some dishes were good, but the low points were really low. I started with the French onion soup, which is honestly one of my favorite things to eat. It looked amazing--golden cheese, toasted bread, rich-looking broth--but the flavor was a complete letdown. It was so bitter it was almost shocking. Not just lacking in depth or salt, but actually scorched. Like the onions had been burned and no one noticed--or worse, no one cared. I couldn't eat it. Next was the beef bourguignon, which I'd also been excited about. Unfortunately, it was way oversalted. Every bite was a struggle. We even mentioned it to our server, hoping there might be some kind of acknowledgment or offer to fix it--but he just shrugged and moved on. No apology, no replacement, nothing. That said, not everything was bad. The deviled eggs were genuinely excellent--creamy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned. The baguette was fresh and had a great crust. And the cocktails were a highlight--really well balanced and thoughtfully made. Clearly, someone in the kitchen or behind the bar knows what they're doing. But a few good bites don't make up for the overall experience, which just felt cold and careless. And for a dinner that cost over $150, it's not unreasonable to expect more--better service, more consistency, and food that's actually edible. My husband and chose this place for our 3rd wedding anniversary, and we won't be returning. There are plenty of restaurants in town that know how to treat guests well and serve great food. This just wasn't one of them. read more

I've been waiting to come to this place since it opened but just haven't been able to come tell now. Love the cute house that the restaurant is in, very nicely decorated. The food was all perfect. I will start by saying the tortellini was absolutely amazing, tasted like a dessert. The deviled eggs were perfect. Loved the bread and cheese. The croque madame was perfect.

First, the ambiance is amazing! Feel like you are eating at someone's home! There was a big vinyl collection and I believe you can request the music if you want. Second, the service is impeccable! The waiters were super friendly and helpful with recommendations! We entirely trusted them and all the dishes were delicious! Now going to food - although we weren't fans of beets but all the ingredients in the beets salad went so well together. Pesto pasta was also a highlight, which was super refreshing and had a slight nutty taste. Overall all the ingredients were really fresh and you don't feel heavy after eating all kinds of cheese and butter. This is a really impressive experience! read more

Authenticity is essential when it comes to French cuisine and Sottise delivers delicious food that takes me back to Paris or Montreal: in Downtown Phoenix! The culinary revolution continues down here and I'm loving every bite. The classic escargot, the baked oysters and of course the reason I came tonight: French onion soup! The real thing not the overly cheesy version you get at your local watering hole. This was a veal broth, not too salty and just kept getting better! The bistro style seating adds to the flavor of this hip and very real place. It's what I refer to as "downtown service" (the funny look I got when I asked for short glass for my gin and tonic?) but overall an excellent night at a great restaurant near Roosevelt. read more

Sottise presents itself as a French-inspired refuge in downtown Phoenix, a restaurant that leans into Parisian ambiance with dim lighting, intentional plating, and a curated wine list. It's elegant, modern, and clearly designed for diners who appreciate finesse. Yet beneath that polished exterior lies a menu that straddles two worlds: part traditional French, part modern Mediterranean, and part global-fusion small plates--a blend that simultaneously elevates the restaurant and holds it back from reaching true authenticity. The Strengths: Technique, Presentation, Confidence The kitchen demonstrates real skill. Dishes like Onion Soup, Escargot de Bourgogne, and Beef Bourguignon show a proper grasp of French technique--deep stock work, balanced aromatics, and controlled richness. The Le Canard (duck breast with Calvados honey and blistered grapes) is a standout, combining classic French pairing with a modern, almost Nordic elegance in presentation. The Salmon Rillette, Tartare de Boeuf, and Chicken Liver Mousse reveal confident execution, each served with clean flavors and crisp textural contrast. These plates show that the chefs at Sottise understand French culinary principles even when they step outside the strict boundaries of the cuisine. Where It Falters: Concept vs. Reality While the execution is strong, the concept loses clarity. A restaurant that claims a French identity should offer a French identity. Here, the menu--while excellent--wanders noticeably. Several offerings are not French at all: Octopus Conserva - Spanish/Portuguese Scallop Crudo - Italian Boquerones - Spanish Deviled Eggs - American Tomato Crostini - Italian Mediterranean Seabass - Coastal Mediterranean Pistou Pasta - French word, but essentially Italian pasta Jumbo Tiger Prawn - global seafood Even the seafood tower and caviar service, while luxurious, lean more toward New York or West Coast fine dining than anything distinctly French. The result is a menu that reads more like a French-accented Mediterranean small-plate bar than a truly French restaurant. Phoenix diners may not always demand strict adherence to authenticity, but for guests expecting the classics of French gastronomy, the omissions feel significant. What's Missing A French restaurant without the backbone of French cuisine feels incomplete. Noticeably absent are: Coq au Vin Cassoulet Blanquette de Veau Duck à l'Orange Sole Véronique Gigot d'Agneau Poulet Rôti Moules Marinières (as an entrée, not small plate) Bouillabaisse Foie Gras Terrine These are the dishes that define France--regional specialties, centuries-old recipes, and the soul of the cuisine. Sottise offers glimpses of authenticity but not the fully realized experience. The Phoenix Factor Part of this identity split may come from regional palate considerations. Phoenix, while evolving, does not yet have the deeply established French dining culture found in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or New York. Restaurants often broaden menus to accommodate local expectations, leaning toward variety over purity. Sottise clearly aims to stay approachable, and perhaps that explains the seafood crudo, the crostini, and the shareable Mediterranean elements. Still, ambition matters. When a restaurant brands itself as French, diners deserve a menu that reflects that heritage more completely. Verdict Sottise is a very good restaurant. The technique is sharp, ingredients are high-quality, and several dishes are genuinely excellent. But as a French restaurant, it feels only halfway committed. The experience is French-inspired rather than authentically French, offering a modern global menu dressed in Parisian aesthetic. If Sottise chose to lean fully into the classics--embracing the heart of French cuisine rather than blending away from it--it could easily become one of the premier French dining destinations in the Southwest. For now, it remains stylish, enjoyable, and technically impressive--but not fully French. read more

Got dinner with my girlfriends here to celebrate her birthday. This place is actually super cute and is inside a house. That's been remodeled to be a restaurant. The vibes are exquisite. The music can be a little loud at times, but the atmosphere is very cozy casual but also delicately moody. It could easily be dressed up or down. We started with the muscles in the French loaf. The muscles were pretty straightforward and a nice white wine froth that was tasty. The French loaf didn't strike me as anything amazing... And when I asked about the French butter, I was informed that it's not actually from France, but made in a French style so that was a little disappointing. We proceeded to share the beet salad, the ham made pasta, and then the beef Bourguignon. All of them were delicious. I especially enjoyed the beet salad and pasta. The earthiness of the beats was complemented by the creamy horseradish Crema, that added a touch of depth. The buttered almonds added a nice crunch, and the dill added a light herbaceous note that really sealed the deal. The handmade pasta was very fresh and had the essence of pistachio but a nice, delicate filling. I would go as far to say it's a very light pasta. Not a huge commitment and not super hearty or filling. The beef was good but pretty straight forward. I've made similar myself, but we definitely enjoyed it. We each got a glass of wine and then ended up ordering the Rhône blend which was delightful. I don't necessarily consider myself a French wine drinker... I typically go for Italian, but I was pleasantly surprised by this wine. All in all, we spent $278 amongst three people, so roughly 100$ each before tip. I will say as a word of caution, the parking situation is dismal as it is in downtown Phoenix so plan accordingly. read more

I will NEVER return to Sottise. Are the drinks great? Yes! Food? Sure. Ambiance? Cozy. Service? Usually decent but after tonight...the worst ever! I cannot justify spending $200+ on dinner and drinks only to be told "the time to leave is now." Mind you...we had given our payment 15 min prior and had to ask where our card was to complete it. All the tables near us were cleaned off for the night so clearly no one was waiting to be served. Once it came, we signed the receipt then spent a couple minutes to finish off some water...then the moment came where we were told tables are only booked for 90 min and "the time to leave is now." It's that moment where you kind of don't realize this is actually happening because all the other times you visited, there was never a problem in the same scenario except tonight was not that night. I can think of many other great restaurants to visit and spend money at without feeling like a nuisance. I'll definitely return to those but NEVER again to Sottise. read more

5 stars for charming looks with a definite French flair. Lovely patio area too. I thought the food was ok. I ordered the eggs Benedict on an English muffin with a ton of poached salmon and Hallandaise on the side. I asked for hot sauce, which I think was an insult due to the look I got when asked. No hot sauce but horse radish sauce. The meal was ok...a bit bland. The short ribs and eggs also ordered looked good but small portion. All in all, the meal was ok, the place was adorable. And thank you to my children for a lovely Mother's Day. read more

Had an absolutely amazing experience at Sottise! From the second we walked in we were greeted warmly and the ambience was very welcoming. The music playing from the vinyl record player was fun, jazzy, and just the right volume. Our server Josiah sat us at a nice table and provided efficient and friendly service. We ordered the escargot, jumbo prawns with cocktail sauce (which contained horseradish that we were not expecting lol), lots of crusty bread and butter, baked Brie, the seasonal pasta, and a couple glasses of red wine that were phenomenal. Overall was a fantastic dinner and an excellent way to celebrate our anniversary. Thanks Sottise and Josiah for the awesome experience! read more

The atmosphere was awesome. As soon as I stepped in I fell in love. Set in a cozy home , the lighting, furniture and music gave great vibes The service was great too . The food isn't fine dining but more classic French food. No fuss plating etc. The salmon rilette to start with was very sharp and tasty but with Ritz crackers... that was disappointing and also the crackers aren'tplain so it added extra flavor to a flavorful dish. We had ordered sour dough too and the rillette was so much better on this. The baked brie was delicious. For mains my husband had the beef and I had the tartare and pea andmint soup. The soup was cold. I was disappointed in this. It was refreshing but I would not have ordered it if I had known it was cold because I also had the tartare tartare. The tartare was yummy but not enough bread to go with it. Finally for dessert we had the chocolate tart. Which was delicious delicious We had two mocktails suggested by the waiter. A strawberry with tarragon one and and a lemon with rosemary one. They were ok Overall the food was a little of a let down but the ambiance was a big win read more

Super cute place. Reminds you of a small French bistro. Service was amendable but I definitely wouldn't say friendly. Not rude just definitely not friendly. The atmosphere was good maybe a bit too loud on the music. The food was very hit or miss. The misses were quite underwhelming. Couldn't be described as bad but a meal I will definitely forget. The hits were not great either just good comparatively. The beet salad was quite a good dish. The Brie was fine but it was missing something. The crab and avocado was very fishy tasting not something I'd normally attribute to crab. The deviled eggs were alright but we're also missing something. I will say this if you're going to be a French bistro your bread needs to be fantastic. This was below average bread. Maybe a 3/10. Our underwhelming experience led us to skip dessert and go elsewhere for it. Sottise is a miss and honestly it feels like it's a restaurant with no soul. read more

Reserved prix fixe NYE dinner with a group of friends for a pretty penny. Food was decent and the ambiance is charming, but service for a special evening was lacking. While the food was coursed out decently, the servers provided impersonal and indifferent service. Food was dropped off without a word and when wine recommendations were requested they didn't seem to know much about the offerings. We may try it again on a regular evening, but probably won't go out of our way. Overall mediocre experience for the price. read more

Sottise is undeniably cute--like dining in a French cottage nestled in the heart of downtown Phoenix. The restaurant is set inside a cozy little house, which gives it a very intimate and homey feel. Everything is compact, but the charm of the space makes up for it. The food is good, with well-prepared French-inspired dishes, but the portions are quite small. If you come hungry, you'll probably need to order more than one dish to feel satisfied. The menu is also very limited, which might be a downside if you're hoping for variety. On the plus side, the cocktails are excellent--definitely one of the highlights of the visit. I'd highly recommend trying at least one. The service was great and attentive, which added to the overall experience. That said, due to the portion sizes, pricing, and limited menu options, I'm giving it three stars. It's a nice spot for a drink and light bite, but not necessarily a go-to if you're looking for a full, satisfying meal. read more

Loved Sottise! The vibes are fantastic, located in a quaint house in Phoenix. The staff are also on it with rotating plates in and out which was great being at a smaller table. We tried all sorts of things which I feel gave us a good sense of the menu. My husband and I decided to share some of the "smaller" plates but they were all great portions. - oysters: we got the east coast and they were great ($2 5-7p every day) - mussels: didn't have much flavor tbh and I usually love mussels but for me these are a skip - tomato crostini: YES! So good - tartare boeuf: really enjoyed this, lots of flavor - tuna carpaccio: the capers really make it, very delicious and fresh - Brie and country loaf: enjoyed this, the salted butter with the country loaf was great - cheesecake: loved it, it's dense but light.
