Melon & guanciale
Nick C.

I've been here a few times and it's been amazing every time. The service Is always superb and helps make it a good Experience. 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 an 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.

Food was delicious. Music and vibes were an all time high. Don't know what took me so long to go check this place out but sure won't wait long to return. Still dreaming about that tuna!

Le canard
Kelley C.

Was really excited to try this place but was honestly pretty disappointed with my whole dining experience. We ordered two entrees which was the Le canard and the pistou pasta. Was honestly pretty upset with the Le canard as it was pretty expensive (43 dollars) and was only served 3 small pieces with nothing else. I also don't usually eat big portions so the fact it was so small for an entree and expensive was a bit disappointing. Our server was also okay, but overall the dining experience was upsetting especially for the price. The interior of the restaurant however is stunning. Will also note I would have liked to try the oysters, and it could be the starters are better to order.

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!

Tuna Crudo
Carter K.

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.

How cute is this place!

Such a cute dinning concept here! Came here for Date night and it did not disappoint! The little gem salad was so delicious! The drinks were great! Love love! Will be back for sure!

Beets
Brian B.

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.

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!

Happy hour is a great deal for oysters! They are $2 each and are fresh and plated nicely. It is a smaller restaurant with around 5 tables inside and some outdoor seating which makes the vibe a lot more homey and personalized. Service was great.

Espresso and creme carmel
Emily C.

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.

Baked oysters
Francesca M.

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.

Roasted beets, a must try
George E.

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.

Brussels were perfect and were devoured quickly. Would pass on the spring rolls next time. For our mains, we went with the bone-in ribeye with additions of a broiled lobster tail, truffle butter, steak sauce, and Sam's noodles; wife decided on the ricotta ravioli. Steak was perfectly medium rare and nicely seasoned, lobster tail was great and the ravioli was delicious. Finished our meal with crème brulee and some treats from the kitchen.

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!

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.

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!
