Not Worth the Wait
Although the food at this quaint cafe is not that bad, the amount of time you spend waiting for it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I ordered a salad and it took over 45 minutes to bring it to me. What irked me is the large price I was charged for the small salad. Regular menu items are a lot more fulfilling, but who wants to wait for them? If a salad takes 45 minutes, imagine the wait I had when ordering the roasted chicken! One last point, because the restaurant resides in a historic home, the evaporative cooler makes the restaurant VERY humid in the warmer months.

Romance?
I tried this place because I had read so much about it in our local newspaper. They did not let me down. This place was amazing. We sat outside on Valentines day, our party of 10 had not heard of the place and it was such a wonderful find. I think I am going to try to go there every Valentines day!!!!

ok
The atmosphere was light and romantic, but the food didn't knock my socks off. It definitely falls under ordinary, no better, no worse.

expect something different
Tricks provides the atmosphere, style, and elegance of an old Eurpean cafe mixed with the attitude and style of an elite independently owned American resaurant. Tricks completes a circuit of independently owned businesses in Tempe that add character and individuality to our town. Tempe is quickly becoming overrun by corporate restaurants that condition the average customer to expect mediocrity delivered at a fast pace. Tricks on the other hand allows its cutomers to slow down, enjoy a drink in the garden, while waiting for a table or thier food. Go with no expectations and relax.

Mr
I had a group reservation there and they could not have been more unpleasant to deal with. They did not seat us on time, they could not figure out how to get drinks to the group once they were waitiing and their host was awful.

ASU Grad
After living in Tempe for nearly five years I have finally found a restaurant that serves exciting, sensational, tasty food. What a great place to relax with a glass of wine under the huge trees and misters at the outdoor bar. I can't wait to show Mom and Dad I really do have good taste buds.

Great dining experience
We went to Tricks with a group of friends for an evening out w/o the kids. While rather pricey, the food was superb as was the dining experience. The portions were not huge, and that is to my liking for not overeating. I would definitely eat there again. Any chance they'll open up on in Queen Creek?

Don't sit inside
I went a few weeks back, by myself probably around 5 pm. They have a great patio but for some dumb reason I sat inside. The inside is small and includes the kitchen where the wait staff tends to congregate. They didn't have their a/c at full blast when I first arrived. I was treated to conversations between the servers plans for later that night, and the added bonus of hearing the servers kicking open the front door everytime they walked out the front door.

please
this place is the worst ever - our food was undercooked and disgusting. the service was terrible - very rude and unresponsive. go here if you want to have a terrible evening. house of tricks shouldn't be on any "romantic" restaurants list.Worldwide > United States > Tempe, AZ > American Restaurants
