Maybe it was the last customers to be served, or before Easter , not sure. Food was seemingly more expensive than usual. Little salad was wilted, and the typical croissants that they give you at the beginning was definitely smaller than usual and not very fresh (maybe because they were the last ones). We love the Bistro but something about it was off. We'll go again of course. But please watch your quality!

I really like the quiet quaint atmosphere, warm hospitality of the entire staff, and what can I say about the food... well, each meal starts with tasty homemade croissants, the lobster bisque and vichyssoise are the best in town, they offer an eclectic appetizer menu along with traditional French bistro staples, and there are always interesting nightly specials. Try to save room for one of their fabulous desserts!

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.

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. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience complemented by friendly, attentive service!

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

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.
