About The Farish House

A gate off 3rd Street leads into The Farish House, an American restaurant in downtown Phoenix set in a historic redbrick cottage whose rooms remain divided as they were in the 1920s, giving the dining space a series of small separate areas amid the surrounding skyscrapers. The kitchen works through a menu of roughly 112 dishes that changes often, so items come and go. Filet mignon arrives with fingerling potatoes and asparagus, short ribs come with mashed potatoes, and The Dates is one of the small plates. Desserts run to tiramisu, bread pudding and caramel pecan pudding, and the bar mixes an old fashioned with rye whiskey alongside gin drinks. A private dining room handles larger groups, and dogs are welcome. The restaurant serves evenings only, Tuesday through Saturday, with a patio in addition to the indoor rooms.

Customer Review Summary

The filet mignon anchors most visits, described as perfectly cooked medium rare and flavorful, usually alongside fingerling potatoes and asparagus that diners call well prepared. Desserts run a close second, with the tiramisu singled out for a topping of blueberries, and the bread pudding and caramel pecan pudding drawing their own praise. Also mentioned often are the cherry duck over parsnips, the short ribs with mashed potatoes, the Raclette, the gin drinks and cocktails, and the divided rooms of the historic house, which several find cozy, intimate and homey. Afternoon tea pleased one group who liked choosing individual tea flavors. The dates appetizer splits opinion, one reviewer wanting salt or citrus and another saying it could be skipped, and the same diner found the filet's sauce too sweet without an acid. The clearest complaint comes from a guest who walked over for the risotto and learned it had been dropped, with the online menu still listing it.

  • Amber Lawrence
    “We took my mom to afternoon tea on Saturday for an early Mothers Day surprise and we had a wonderful experience! The service was fantastic, all of the food options for the afternoon tea were fun and delicious and we really enjoyed being able to all select our own tea flavors. We are HUGE tea drinkers, hot and cold so this was right up our alley. My mom loved it and definitely wants to go again! Thank you for the excellent service!”
  • Meri Haitkin
    “Wow was this a great meal and experience. Our server, Nicole, could not have possibly been better -- she was fun & funny, told us the history of the restaurant and made sure we ordered the right amount of food and the best items on the menu. The food was lovely and well prepared. We had 4 small plates instead of entrees and it was a great experience all around!”
  • Carla Cordoves
    “You come for the food, but you come back because of the service. Very courteous and knowledgeable staff, very attentive manager, and great chef. The food was delicious, the environment inside is cozy, and the seating is great inside and outside. We ordered the filet mignon (flavorful, the potatoes had a great texture), tomato soup (as app), pork chop, Raclette (a mix of fingerlings, cheese, salami and bread), Le Mac (Mac n cheese), tiramisu, and the caramel pecan pudding. Everything was delicious, we had a great time, and felt everything was priced accordingly to the level of service they provide. I will definitely recommend them.”
  • Michael Lee
    “The new owner Greg is an absolute stud, he loves this place as much as we do. The gin drinks are out of this world, and the fillet was spectacular. My wife has the bouillabaisse, insanely good. We have had the short ribs, and try the patte …”
