"This downtown Tempe restaurant’s early-1900s roots set the backdrop for two outdoor dining spaces – one covered and the other under the elements that stars an active fish pond and the occasional friendly cat or two. A raised wooden deck built around a mature tree with a canopy that sprawls above the outdoor patio bar is equipped with high tops that serves as an equally worthy third al fresco dining spot. The menu changes with the seasons, but look for favorites like smoked Korean style baby back ribs, harissa spiced mussels and balsamic glazed bacon bison meatloaf."
