"Run by the team behind Restaurant Progress and Sidewinder, Sottise operates out of a restored early 20th-century farmhouse in downtown Phoenix — think charming French countryside kitchen meets romantic Parisian brasserie with well-worn brick walls, curated vinyl spinning, and bistro tables. The menu marries Old World techniques with modern touches, featuring dishes like scallop crudo with citrus and mint, buttery escargot, and beef bourguignon over silky pommes purée. A 100-bottle wine list spans the spectrum from approachable to bold, while cocktails spotlight French spirits in classic and inventive preparations. Sottise feels effortlessly romantic without losing its laidback vibe, making it a go-to for date nights or relaxed dinners with friends." - Mcconnell Quinn
