Amazing from start to finish, perfect atmosphere, perfect staff, perfect food, the most un-Phoenix restaurant in Phoenix.

Sottise was absolutely amazing! My bf took me here as a little treat date because he speaks French and loves France! We ordered an expensive bottle of wine and quite a few different things off the menu! Nothing disappointed! The ambience of the place was wonderful, the staff was so kind, and the food came out so quickly and was to die for! It was one of the best resturant experiences I've had. Will be coming quite often!

Pre-meal: Street parking. Reservations recommended. Room: It's a cozy little house. Tables are small and round like a French cafe. Chairs are rattan and not the most comfortable. Noisy in a good way. Beverages: Excellent cocktail program with some surprises. A few thoughtfully curated French wines. There's even a Chartreuse list! Food: French classics. Our star of the night was the cider-brined pork tomahawk chop. This impressive bone-in chop includes a large piece of belly meat still attached to the bone. And the accompanying cassoulet beans were also quite good. OMG that chop was delicious! The 5-spice duck breast was also outstanding, interestingly served on a bed of hazelnuts. The escargot pasta was not as successful; it was a gloppy unfocused mess. The house made baguette was needed but not the best. Service: Very attentive and friendly. Price: Moderately expensive. Value: Good. Summary: Well-executed French food with a few twists.

This restaurant is a dream! The whole vibe was perfect. It was so calm and cozy and felt really intimate. You can tell that they really thought out how to make someone feel while walking in here. I had a French 75, the pea and mint soup, oysters with tartare and the beef tartare. It was all absolutely incredible and I keep thinking about it! I'm from out of town and wish I could go back again. The service was amazing as well! My waiter was very personable and gave wonderful recommendations.

Excellent food, service and ambiance! Great date or special occasion spot. They also have a small but great bar with excellent cocktails. One of my favorite spots in the PHX area.

Located in the vibrant RoRo or NoDo area of Phoenix, Sottise Restaurant invites patrons on a culinary journey reminiscent of a Parisian cafe or the cozy kitchens of the French countryside. From the perfectly executed Bijou cocktail, blending gin, vermouth, and green chartreuse with exquisite balance, to the meticulously crafted small plates, Sottise pays homage to French classics with a modern twist. Their menu, steeped in traditional flavors enhanced by armagnac, calvados, and cognac, showcases Old World techniques such as curing, fermenting, and pickling to elevate each dish. Our indulgence in seven small plate selections, including fresh baguette, deviled eggs, tartare de boeuf, little gems, roasted beets, scallop Crudo, and oysters steak tartare, left us enamored with every bite. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Sottise for an exceptional dining experience that seamlessly marries French culinary heritage with innovative flair.

Love! Ambience couldn't be better. Romantic, chic, from the food to the wine list perfection.

Sottise was a wonderful dining experience. Exceptional flavors, good service, and a charming ambiance make it a great choice.
This was my 2nd time at Sottise. The ambiance, veranda comfort, and service was fantastic. However, the food itself left a lot to be desired. We ordered the pork trotters, little gem salad, escargot pasta, scallop crudo, and mussels. Everything is very traditionally French (which I love) but everything was very oversalted. I am not typically sensitive to salt but this was noticed by both my partner and I across multiple dishes. We experienced this as well during our first visit and assumed we just had an off-night. My recommendation when visiting Sottise: go for the cocktails and the great wine list. But go elsewhere for dinner.

The mussel is the best I ever had, so juicy, scallops are amazing too, the tangerine and pistachios sauce matches it perfectly. Will definitely come here

We came here with the day-before-Valentines-Day crowd for a nice date night and highly recommend. We went a little crazy and created our own tasting menu. Thoughts below. OYSTER W/ STEAK TARTARE - okay, I know it sounds weird, but try this one. It's one bite so you can start with this as your amuse bouche. FRESH BAGUETTE - it's a french restaurant. Of course you have to order the baguette. Nothing special about this one other than the fact that it's fresh, tasty, and the extra bread was helpful since the steak tartare comes with only a few small pieces and a good helping of tartare. DEVILED EGGS - fun and tasty but not quite as memorable as the other dishes. TARTARE DE BOEUF - perfectly prepared. I'd order this one again in a heartbeat. ONION SOUP - typical French onion soup. It's good, but I'd skip this one in favor of trying the baked brie next time. ASPARAGUS - I convinced Mark H. to order this and I think it was possibly the best dish on the menu. Don't skip this one. ESCARGOT PASTA - my favorite of the entrees. Don't be afraid to try this is you want to try escargot but feel a little nervous! LE CANARD - great duck dish. I'm not the biggest duck fan so would probably pick another one next time, but it was our waiter's favorite dish so had to try it out. I'm planning to order more from the seafood section next time!
