Make a reservation! We had dinner here and I loved the atmosphere. It's a cute house and the dishes don't match. There is always something to look at on the wall. Try the cocktails and if you can't choose, ask for a recommendation. Everyone was so nice and attentive. I loved the potatoes and risotto. The one thing that didn't stand out to me was the ratatouille.

Quaint location at this house converted to a restaurant. If you can make it for happy hour they have a good variety of drinks and appetizers.

Loved the ambiance here. The restaurant is based in a house and it almost feels like you're over at a friends for dinner. The live music was a great touch as well. We had the short ribs, brussel sprouts, oysters, and white fish. Everything was tasty. Our waiter was also so friendly.

If you want a gorgeous, cozy restaurant for a sweet date night, The Farish House is the perfect place to go. It's perfect for patio weather -- set along the quieter streets of downtown Phoenix -- or for dining in the historic home. After making a reservation online, we were seated immediately for our anniversary dinner. Our lovely hostess gave us a head's up that the Chianti-braised short rib--which we definitely had our eyes on--was running low, so we were able to put in our order for that to ensure it didn't sell out. So glad we did! The meat is so tender, and the veggies and polenta pair fantastically with the dish. The Mahi Mahi Provencale came with a surprise standout: the ratatouille. I would definitely order this on its own, though the fish was delicious! We also thoroughly enjoyed our starter, the Kale & Goat Salad that comes with tasty dried fruits and a dijon-maple vinaigrette. The non-alcoholic drinks are also lovely here! Love the selection of mocktails. I would definitely return--it's one of the better elevated dining experiences (especially at its price range) in a lovely area to walk around afterward.

We stopped in for dinner recently and since the weather had been fairly nice the previous few days, we decided to book a table outside. Unfortunately, it turned cold and windy so we opted to sit at the bar instead, which turned out to be pretty great. We had a couple starters to share: - Chicken liver pate; this was served with a mini loaf of bread, topped with a cherry gastrique, and pickled onions. It was absolutely to die for. The flavor combinations were exceptional. Highly recommended! - Duck fat fingerlings; it's fried potatoes so you can't really go wrong. You get a HUGE plate of fingerlings along with the most deliciously thick aioli I've ever had. Super addicting, but a very large portion that would be great to share with 4 people. We ended up taking about half of the plate home. - Mac (& cheese) w/ Calabrian chili; This was pretty tasty too, but we wouldn't get it with the Calabrian chili again. It just ended up overpowering the cheese sauce (in our opinion). For entrees, we had the duck confit and the Hokkaido scallop risotto. The duck confit was tender and flavorful and was served with a cherry sauce, lentils, and green beans. The green beans were ever so slightly too salty for my taste, but everything else was excellent. The risotto, aside from a couple of minor nitpicks, is probably the best risotto we've had in a very long time. The rice was mostly cooked to perfection (perhaps just a tad over) and the flavor of the risotto was perfectly balanced with the scallops and complemented them exceptionally well. The scallops were sweet and delicious, though a couple of them were overcooked and/or still had the abductor muscle attached. To finish, they really pushed the tiramisu hard so we decided to try it. It was amazing. The marscapone was whipped to a light, airy consistency, and the lady fingers were perfectly glazed with coffee and liquer, but not in an overpowering way. Everything was perfectly in balance. The bartender and all the staff were super awesome - friendly, accommodating, and they genuinely seemed to enjoy working with each other. The best part of the meal was the price tag. We all know that eating out has become way more expensive in recent years, however given the quality of the food and service, this may be one of the best values in the entire Southwest - no joke! 3 starters, 2 entrees, 2 glasses of wine, and dessert set us back $110. The entrees were ~$27/each. For reference, the day prior, we waited an hour to have a mediocre pizza at a "famous" Phoenix pizzeria and that pizza cost $29. Big props to the owner for not only the delicious food, but for keeping prices reasonable! Note: we were told that outside wine is not permitted at the restaurant so if you enjoy BYO, you'll need to eat elsewhere.

Went for Afternoon Tea with my girl friends. They were able to accommodate my being vegetarian on a last minute's notice (they can also accommodate gluten-free and other dietary limitations but you have to let them know in advance). The food was great and we were offered more sandwiches (didn't take them up on it because there was plenty of food for us). There was also a scone course and a dessert course. Everything was neatly presented, and the setting, in a historic home, is perfect for afternoon tea to start with. It's very cozy. Our waitress was very attentive. Street parking in downtown Phoenix can be tricky. Just something to remember before you go! We were a party of 5 and realized as we were paying that they had defaulted a 20% service charge to our bill. Not a big deal, but again, sometime to know. Also, you have to pay $10 per attendee when you make a reservation, which they say will go towards your bill, but they actually refund that amount at the end of your tea session, and then charge the full bill. It all comes down to the same, but it may be helpful to know. Finally, afternoon tea is only served on Saturdays, 11am - 2pm.

We came here for dinner Tuesday night and everything was great once again. The rooms with dining tables inside were all completely empty but there were some people sitting at the bar. The chicken liver pate, duck and carrots side were all delicious. The knickerbocker grew on me this time. It wasn't an instant like.

Small parking lot in the back for free parking. Nice, cozy restaurant. Since space is limited be sure to make a reservation. The menu didn't have many options so we were struggling to figure out the second dish we wanted. Must get the Chianti Braised Short Ribs! This was so good and especially the polenta was made so well. I would have gotten two of short rib dishes if I knew how the Lobster Risotto was going to taste. I didn't really like the flavor and it barely had any lobster pieces. It was not worth it. Service was great! A reminder they do not allow customers to bring their own cakes since they have their own cakes.

Farish House is a really nice restaurant in DT PHX. It is tucked away in an old house with a cute cozy vibe. It truly felt like you were dining in someone's home. The table sat our party of 10 very well and we're sat in a room in the back. It was great since we were the only table in that room, which was perfect since we were celebrating our friend's birthday. It created a nice intimate setting. My husband and I shared the short rib and dates. I liked the dates, but I wish the chorizo inside was spicer to complement the sweetness of the dates. The short rib was delicious. It was tender and had a nice presentation. I enjoyed the polenta a lot - it was creamy and flavorful. The balsamic drizzled on the plate and the gremolata on top paired well with the short rib. The gremolata had rosemary, which enhanced and did not overpower the dish. We also ordered a bottle of wine, which we enjoyed a lot. I ordered an espresso martini for dessert, which was good but I have had better ones at other restaurants. The service was pretty good. The wait staff made sure we had lots of water. Although I thought they would check on us a little bit more. Parking was okay. There is a small lot in the back, which is nice that is an option. We unfortunately did not get parking there and had to pay for street parking. Overall nice spot in Phoenix to have dinner!
