The Farish House

Delicious food! We've been meaning to try this place for a while. It definitely live up the reviews.The pork belly melted right into our mouths. The flavors were incredibly pronounced and diverse. Do not miss out on the chicken liver! To die for!The staff including our server were all exceptionally kind and helpful during our visit. Farish House is doing everything right! Thank you for a great dinner experience.

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.

Came here for Saturday Afternoon Tea. I love that it's one set price per person and unlimited food from tea sandwiches to scones to desserts. We were allowed to take some of the desserts home too as we couldn't eat it all. I loved the tea selection. Amazing service. The decor is so cute inside and so welcoming.Looking forward to coming back for dinner!

Met up with some girlfriends for dinner and drinks before we set off for a show downtown. We made reservations to ensure we would have seating in time. I was pretty excited to give Farish a try, it had been on my bookmark list for months! After checking out the menu we went with small plates to share. We ordered the dates, marinated heirloom tomato burrata, honeyed nut and fruit crostini and a side of Le Mac with short rib added.Everything tasted amazing, my favorite was the dates tho . They are noor dates stuffed with chorizo wrapped in bacon with a tomato jam. We all enjoyed our bites and drinks at The Farish House. Glad to have finally given them a try!

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.

First time at Farish House. We came to celebrate our 40th anniversary. I suppose it was fitting that we dined an a house even older: the Farish House was originally built in 1899. It had seen multiple iterations but seemed to have found its niche. It was a really cute, if loud, quaint converted home. They offered both indoor and outdoor seating, but at 109 degrees on a June evening, we chose inside. We were immediately seated (reservations) in the 'front room' with three other parties. We loved the wonderful, time-worn decor. The acoustics were bare, so the loud birthday party at the next table was innocuous but we couldn't blame them for that. My wife ordered the simple salad, fingerling potatoes and the scallop risotto, plus a glass of wine. I got the Caesar salad, candied carrots and the short ribs. It all came to $123.80 plus tip. Our salad arrived quickly and I was pleasantly surprised by mine. It was baby whole-leaf romaine, dressed with a tangy dressing and freshly shaved Parmesan. The 'croutons' were two-inch cubes of soft garlic bread. Perfect. Our entrees and sides arrived shortly after we finished our salads. The glazed carrots had a nice zip to them and the potatoes had a yummy turmeric and curry aioli. My short ribs, nestled in warm polenta, were rich, savory and tender. My knife went ignored the entire meal. I must say, I hadn't had a meal so elegant, graceful, fulfilling, soulful and downright tasty in a long time. We will be back.

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!

Super cute historic house restaurant, I love that we have these in Phoenix. The patio was adorable especially when the lights turned on, unfortunately when we made our reservation we thought it would be too hot to sit out there and requested an inside table.We were seated in what we coined the birdhouse room which had incredibly plain and woody, uninteresting decor consisting of actual birdhouses, drawings of birdhouses, plain wooden tables with uncomfortable mismatched wooden chairs, and with zero pops of color. Other rooms I peeked at had color on the walls and drapes, decor that seemed more on par with the menu prices.Now, the menu and food... either the current menu, or the place, is REALLY into duck and pork, maybe beef too, to the point where it was tough for a *chicken and fish (lean protein) person* to actually order a meal. The only fish was swordfish, which in my opinion is neither good nor good for you. There was a vegan mushroom Wellington but it had almond cheese and I didn't trust a meat place to do that well.So I ordered the saffron chicken noodle soup and a simple green salad. The simple green salad was a huge pile of nice greens tossed in oil and salt with a few blistered tomatoes on the side. Uninspiring but at least the greens were fresh. Would have appreciated stems trimmed off.The soup could have been so much better - there were 3 main problems. 1) Clear soup served in a flat wide bowl is difficult to eat. No sipping the last of the broth. 2) The noodles were significantly undercooked (not al dente. Undercooked with hard centers). 3) Wasn't served hot. Soup should be steaming when it comes to the table. It was warm. After a few minutes it was difficult to call it warm. The saffron flavor was there. The veggies were fully cooked. They messed up the easy stuff.Dessert probably saved this place from a 2* review. Wasn't the best ever but I liked the two my family of 3 shared. Tiramisu - I'd say it was not typical and more like a light fluffy tiramisu cake with no chocolate flavor at all. The dark chocolate mousse with fresh whip and mango puree... not big on fruit intruding on our chocolate desserts, we initially were avoiding the mango on the plate. When we first tasted the mousse, we thought the chocolate bordered on having a spicy flavor. It was really strange. The trick was you absolutely had to get some mango puree (and fresh whip of course) in the spoonful for sweetness. It grew on us as we ate it and were sad when the plate was empty.Others in my party enjoyed their pork belly/short rib. Those dishes just aren't my taste. Even though the menu changes please make having a chicken option standard as well as a more boring fish (salmon or a light white fish) or perhaps shrimp.Hope to come back to a menu with some lean protein options, sit in a different room, and rate this better one day.

Food is great and so is the service! Came here for dinner one night and got a take outside in the courtyard. The weather was perfect and they had a 4 piece quartet playing love music outside. It was sooooo nice! I asked my server for recommendations from the sweet server, and she gave me a few. I was feeling adventurous and ordered something I've never tried before and was I in for a treat. The food was absolutely fantastic! Flavor was on point, everything went well together. I was in food heaven. Meter parking on the street, pretty easy on a weeknight. The whole place was super cute! Wonderful experience! Highly recommend.

Love this place!! Came for anniversary dinner, very cute homey inside. Had the bread as a starter with papkria, rosemary, honey butter and was amazing! Le Mac was great - got the small size and definitely was a personal serving. I got the filet and it was awesome! Not usually a kale person but it was delicious. My boyfriend had the Chianti short rib - also amazing! Would definitely recommend .Alaina (hope I spelled it right) was our server and she was awesome , very attentive and brought everything quick! Thank you!!
