The valley needs more restaurants like Kale & Clover. A place that serves higher quality food in fair portions at a decent price (at least for the food). Kale & Clover has a pleasant cafe-style setup. Order at the counter. Get a number. A runner brings your food. The dining room has a modern ambiance and there is also a nice patio.
My wife and I went splitzies on a Cheat Day Burger and a Turkey Panini. The burger is perfect. the quality of beef is incredible and it was cooked perfectly. The brioche bun adds a flavorful touch. The panini probably should have just been called a sandwich. The bread is toasted but not hot or pressed. Nitpick aside; it's a delicious sandwich. Although, it felt like the chef got a little skimpy with the avocado. We both had side salads. Nothing special. A nice mix of greens and tomato with a great dressing.
The burger was $12. The panini was $10. A $20 for $10 Local Dines gift certificate (http://www.localdines.com/phoenix?ref=19485) cut that down nicely. We'll certainly be back sometime soon.
