    The go-to romantic spot in Tempe. It's right near ASU and features a great patio that's nestled under a few large old-growth trees. The menu is eclectic and ever-changing. It makes for a great date spot!


  • Description:

    • Despite the name, you'll find far more treats here than tricks. Housed in a pair of old Craftsman bungalows surrounded by a garden of shady trees, this restaurant seems a world away from the bustle on nearby Mill Avenue. This is a nice spot for a romantic evening and a good place to try some innovative cuisine. The garlicky Caesar salad and house-smoked salmon with avocado, capers, and lemon cream are good bets for starters. Entrees change regularly, and lately there have been a lot of Asian influences on the menu. Try to get a seat on the grape-arbor-covered patio.
