House of Tricks 

Once a run-down dwelling, House of Tricks in Tempe is a charming restaurant with one of the area’s best patios, decked with pots of flowers, arbors, beautiful ferns and a pond. While House of Tricks could easily rely on its enchanted setting to get by, the Contemporary American eats are just as amazing, as evidenced by the green chilichorizo oysters and molasses-braised pork osso buco. houseoftricks.com.
