The House at Secret Garden

Vegetarian Choices: Yes

Cuisine: American

Price: $40

Housed in an old Spanish mansion and featuring patio dining and a stylish barn available for private parties, the lively atmosphere of The House is matched by the creativity of its food. Co-Owners Pat and Dustin Christofolo, a dynamic mother and son team, designed a fresh, local menu for lunch and dinner - perfect for leisurely meals in the barrel-ceilinged dining room or drinks and small bites under the sprawling carob tree.

Phoenix’s best patio dining is located at The House at Secret Garden. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, shady tall trees and a background nestled against Phoenix’s South Mountain, this spot is a romantic delight. Our patio is properly shaded with large umbrellas and an abundance of flowering orchid trees. Patio tables are bordered by a showcase of blooming pots of flowers and a small brook filled with fish and tropical water plants. At night, when the weather begins to chill down, we light up the patio heaters and outdoor fireplace. This is the city’s most popular gathering spot to dine under the stars.
