| - One of the last few great dining experiences in Tempe, and their historic stand is indicative of their brilliance. I had originally come here about ten years ago (this place has been around for nearly 30 years), so I couldn't tell you what my experience was then, but we finally decided to revisit it, and we're glad we did! Friendly staff, prompt service, great environment and setting (we even came to learn that they have three cats who basically live there! One of whom was hanging out with us, it seems, named Kinko). In any case, we had a few apps of course, my favorite being the Artisan Cheese Plate, but also Harissa Spiced Mussels , Smoked Texas Wild Boar and Seared Free Range Pork Belly Confit, all absolutely delicious! For entrée, I had their Almond Crusted Rack of Lamb, and oh goodness was it amazing! I don't know that there are any other restaurants in Tempe left to match the quality of House of Tricks, it brings fine dining to the heart of a busy college area without compromising their integrity. We'll certainly be back soon.
