| - It was Saturday night and my husband and I wanted to try something new. We had been told to try FEZ, specifically the FEZ burger. So we decided to take the light rail from Tempe and go to FEZ.
Now, just as others have posted, FEZ was good, but definetly not amazing. We get there and we were seated promptly, which is always a plus. The staff was ver friendly and helpful.
We got there right at the tail end of happy hour, so we decided to try the 2 4 1 margaritas. I got the pomengranite and my husband got the honey dew. They were ehhh. I still stand that margaritas should not be flavored, and these just did not change my mind.
As it was still happy hour, we decided to try an appitizer. We opted for the lettuce wraps. I really enjoyed these. The dried fruit and pomengranite vinagrette was a great combination.
For dinner, we both ordered the FEZ burger (no bun, of course). Well I have to say we are both picky about our burgers. Now, the burgers were not bad, but not for us. It had a lot going on. Between the cheese, pears, bbq sauce, crispy onions, and more.. it was just too much. I enjoy a good burger with minimal toppings (i.e. LGO's green chili burger!).
On the side, I got the season vegetables, and they were excellent. My husband opted for the cinnamon sweet potato fries. Again, very good, but you can't beat the simple, yet excellent sweet potato fries at Delux.
Also, I should mention that we did try another FEZ drink, their fruit infused wine. It was just as the waiter described, sangria without the fruit. They really should call it sangria and add fruit. Would not recommend it. I think the next time I go I would go with Cherry Wheat on draft!
We are not going to rush back, but not opposed of giving FEZ another chance.
