The Hidden House

Phoenix’s Best Restaurant and Bar Patios for Outdoor Dining | Eater Phoenix

"There’s something so likable about Hidden House, a refurbished 1938 cottage-turned-restaurant situated just beyond the bustle of downtown Chandler. Fronted by a roomy patio laid with pavers and surrounded by trees, the place is big on charm. However, the real tour de force is the small indoor-outdoor bar, which feels like the heart of the restaurant even though half of it sits outside. It’s a great place for people-watching over 43 classic cocktails and happy hour nibbles such as truffle mac and cheese and foie gras mousse. Casual but upscale lunches include gochujang-glazed noodles and duck melt (a sandwich of slow-roasted duck with Gruyere cheese and lemon-herb aioli), while the dinner menu offers those same items and more, including pomegranate-glazed quail and espresso-crusted filet." - McConnell Quinn
