House of Tricks

With one of the Valley’s most gorgeous and cozy outdoor dining spots (accented by white twinkle lights, of course), Tempe’s House of Tricks could simply be one of the restaurants that thrives solely on ambience—but it doesn’t. The 25-year-old restaurant dishes up contemporary American cuisine that is dressed to impress with its high-end ingredients and mouthwatering presentations. www.houseoftricks.com.
