"Restaurateur Richardson Browne, who introduced New Mexico-style Cuisine to Phoenix in 1988, operates three restaurants within walking distance of each other, all of them accommodating to groups. Book lunch or dinner at Richardson’s patio table, which seats up to 20 people on a sun-dappled, viga-covered patio filled with plants. The Cove (also on the patio) features circular banquette-seating with low cocktail tables and a fireplace. The posh private dining room at the Rokerij seats 16 to 18 people, while Dick’s has a private dining room that seats 27 and features a fireplace, television, and private bathroom." - Nikki Buchanan
