The House Brasserie

Again, we had another great meal my wife and I and because we were celebrating we got that great seat outside in front of the fireplace. We each wanted a little of the Sea Bass and Filet so we got them and split between us. Wow - it was perfect. To start they bring a little bread item that was buttered and with a little garlic. A nice touch to start with.The Sea Bass was so tender and flaky with a tad of crispness on the edges so it just melted in my mouth. Then, the Linz Filet was with a Bordelaise sauce and capped with a ravioli and pomegranate seeds. My gosh it was just wonderful. We shared a bottle of Daou Cabernet and they gave me a cute little brownie with a birthday chocolate. Yum!I just have not had a single bad experience here and you can tell there are many regulars. It is romantic yet great for a group as we have had groups with us that we have brought here both from in town out and everyone wants to come back when visiting.I cannot recommend this place any higher. It is a place with great food, excellent service and romantic.

This place is such a cute and romantic spot for date night! Their interior is somewhat vintage style and so cute and cozy. Complimentary bread was cheesy and yummy!We tried their pork chop, sea bass, and beef tartare. Sea bass was yummy, I liked the sauce and grains came with it. Pork chop was good, nothing exceptional. And beef tartare was ok.This is indeed a cute spot, but their food wasn't as good as I expected. People were friendly though!

I love the romantic speak easy vibe, and the Victorian-era-inspired decor. We had dinner to celebrate my birthday during our trip to Scottsdale and this place didn't disappoint. We ordered the Hudson Valley Foie Gras and Escargot De Bourgogne for appetizers. For entree I had the Chilean Sea Bass (my fav) and hubby opted for the Linz Ribeye. Food was good, but not outstanding. Overall nice ambience and decent food, hubby and I had a wonderful time and enjoyed our dinner.

What a disappointing experience. The only stars are for the bartender. I was called an hour prior to my open table reservation to see "if i was still coming" odd but ok. She informed me that they "close the kitchen" at 9:30, the time of my reservation. Why even take one then if that is the case? I asked if they had space, so I came earlier. My reservation was for the patio. It beautiful outside. I was sat at the bar. The hostess was very obviously annoyed that I was there. No specials announced, no true greeting. They did not even confirm my reservation on OpenTable, I hope I can leave a review there as well. She was being obnoxious in my vicinity until some additional patrons walked in. I had to sit and listen to her complain about various things while I tried to enjoy my dinner. The food was good but how uncomfortable? This was my dinner and a pricey one at that. I will NEVER come back or recommend this place. So disappointed. My one night in town to eat outside and I am at a bar.Edit: she, the hostest, was sitting four chairs from me at the bar sniffling instead of blowing her nose and now she is running around loudly telling all the other workers about a tiktok she watched.

The House Brasserie is just another high end Scottsdale restaurant where it feels like you pay a premium for the ambiance and location. The food was good but it wasn't great, especially for the price.I was with a group of 4 and we shared a few apps to start.-Complimentary bread: It tastes like a savory cream puff, without the cream filling. It's light, airy, and cheesy. -Escargot: The flavor of the escargot was good, but the bread was really hard and tough. I tried soaking the bread in the buttery/garlicy sauce but it didn't make a difference. -Foie Gras: This was pretty good, but I wasn't blown away by foie gras itself. I've had better elsewhere.-Sea Bass: This had a beautiful, golden crust, but it was just a tad overcooked. It was flakey but not buttery soft. I enjoyed the couscous which was a nice pairing with this dish. -Iboerico Pork: It wasn't as amazing as I hoped. The flavors were just okay to me. -Brussel Sprouts: They were perfectly crispy and flavorful. This was my favorite out of everything we ate. I can't remember the name of the cocktail that I ordered but it should have been a fraction of the price. It was just okay - I've had better for less $$. I had high expectations because of the raving reviews. The main reason for 3 stars is because the price didn't quite match the quality.

Wonderful venue. The restaurant is a cute converted home with a peaceful patio. Our service was polite and very attentive. Everything in the menu sounded great but unfortunately each dish fell short. The escargot had quite a good flavor. The sauce was garlicky and buttery but the bread ruined the experience. It is served with a hard crunchy bread. I would like to emphasize that it was not a light fluffy crunch, but dense! This meant that it was impossible to soak any of that wonderful sauce at all. We even broke it up and left it in the sauce while we chatted for a little bit - did not soak/soften at all. (Perhaps that is impressive in its own way?)The foie gras was ok. The pastry it came with was flaky and fluffy but the foie gras itself didn't seem to have that much flavor compared to others I've had. The seabass was good in flavor but perhaps a little overcooked. It tasted a little dense and dry as opposed to the usual buttery and glossy texture one would expect. To be fair - I've never had iberico pork so I do not know if this is how it's supposed to taste. I've heard it being described as the wagyu of pork. I could definitely taste the higher fat content but felt like it didn't contribute much flavor-wise over normal pork (whereas with wagyu, the fat flavor is so unique and sublime). Again, since I havnt had iberico before I don't know if this is a fault with the restaurant or with my expectation. The sides, however, were not special enough considering they chose not to include a carb with this dish. Overall, none of the dishes tasted bad but they each had lacking elements too noticeable to overlook. The reason my review is harsher is at this price point, those elements should not be missing. The bill for our group that had 2 appetizers, 4 entrees, and 4 drinks, came out to $400. Drinks were $20 each. While they were good, there was nothing special about them compared to the same drink you could get somewhere else for $15. The quality for the price will probably prevent me from returning to this otherwise very nice establishment.

Didn't capture pictures of everything but the sea bass and pork chop were delicious! Very cute and intimate spot. Our waitress was excellent as well. Definitely recommend!

I dined on the patio with colleagues while our company's owner/CEO was visiting and was not very impressed with the overall experience. The inside portion of the restaurant was very charming but completely empty and quiet, so our group opted to dine on the patio. There's a very cute patio with a fireplace on the east side of the building that was not being seated; instead, we were given a dirty table overlooking the apartment complex to the south and the parking lot to the east. The table we were seated at had a dirty tablecloth from the wind earlier in the day, and the silverware on the table was spotted and had pieces of leftover food. When the server arrived, she asked for our drink orders. I asked for a very dry wine and she told me that the menu had changed and she didn't know what to recommend. I ended up with a Chablis that wasn't my favorite and certainly wasn't dry. As a vegan, there were very few options, although the server assured me that the chef would prepare something wonderful. I ordered a salad that arrived with a milky dressing that was obviously not vegan. I didn't eat it and was waiting for the server to come by to check on us, but it was at least 15 minutes before she came back. By that time, the rest of our group was finished with their first course, so it didn't make sense to get a replacement.The rest of the meal was mediocre and overpriced. I asked for a meal that wasn't just a plate of vegetables and was assure that the chef would create something special, and when the dish arrived, it was just a plate of vegetables.Long story short, I don't anticipate coming back for dinner anytime soon. However, I would consider coming back for drinks on the eastern patio when the weather is nice and there's a cozy fire roaring.

Such a beautiful and unique concept.Service was great this was on New Year's Eve.I ordered Filet it was cooked perfectly and was a large portion but covered with elote (Mexican street corn) I love both on their own but didn't love them together. I would prefer more traditional serving on this menu.The pork chop was very good.Salad was fresh and tasty would come back and try some different items.In the past they had a crab fried rice that I loved and was disappointed it's no longer an option.

Went here for my mother 75th birthday dinner. Great atmosphere and layout of the restaurant was great. Indoor outdoor seating, service was unbelievable. Great local restaurant.Everybody at the restaurant is a wine specialist. The food was very fresh very well prepared they went above and beyond for my mother's birthday. Great music.It is in old town so parking is not the best. Food 5/5Food Quality 5/5Service 5/5Atmosphere 5/5Parking 3/5 ( nothing the restaurant can do about it) Location 5/5
