The good : this place has a nice view. Stopped in for a party and was definitely impressed by the vibe. Staff was courteous and polite. This is always appreciated. The bad: the prices of almost everything. I understand that real estate around ASU is expensive (they gotta pay for the Mill Ave sign somehow), but please lower the prices. For the amount spent on my Old Fashioned , I could've gotten a bottle and made at home. Also, watch out for the included gratuity.

We arrived about 11 pm on a Friday night after the Innings Festival and were warmly welcomed by the bar staff for another hour til closing. Friendly service with stunning rooftop views above Tempe from the bar as well as the modern and spacious rooftop terrace. Our martinis were en pointe and the friendly bartenders rounded out a wonderful night cap experience. UPDATE: We enjoyed the standout views and exemplary service so much we decided to return the following night for dinner. We enjoyed delicious and well presented tapas: Crab Salad Fondant Patata Street Corn Fritter Duck Tinga Sope Spanish Fried Chicken Skirt Steak Tostada Each dish was beautifully presented and flavorful. Kudos to the chef as our orders came less than 10 minutes before the kitchen closed. Our bartender Reanna was yet again welcoming and attentive even on a busy Saturday evening. Lucero, well done. Highly recommended.

Awww cute for my birthday

The menu really needs to accessible when clicking on the link straight from the hotel restaurant menu page. Looking at the yummy food from yelp I will have to tell you some disappointing news.....its not there. There are no sliders with fries or birria empanadas. That was what I was looking forward to the most. Their menu is super condensed and the food choices are not appealing. The patio is gorgeous and the cocktails are great. But I went to the restaurant downstairs instead for food. Loved my birthday treat but other than that...it wasn't what I thought it would be like. Our server was great though.

Rooftop spot to catch a vibe. The fire pit at our seating area turned on unexpectedly and scared us lol. I feel this is a slight hazard. Drinks were fine & the vibe was right. Cute after dinner spot.

Absolutely loved the vibes and service and drinks. This rooftop bar is so romantic! The only thing I didn't like was the food portion sizes but there is another restaurant downstairs that does serve a more variety of food. I came here to celebrate my birthday and the views and vibes did not disappoint. There are plenty of fire pits and open seating but I do recommend making a reservation in advance to get a good view.

This was a very cute rooftop bar experience! After taking the elevator in the Omni hotel to the 16th floor, you'll be greeted by a great view of the surrounding Tempe and ASU campus. There's lots of lights and opportunities for great photos. We didn't get any food, as it was a little pricier for our liking and the menu didn't come with a great deal of options. We got a simple Riesling wine and raspberry lemon drop. My Riesling was very classic and sweet-tasting, while the raspberry lemon drop drink had a heavy citrus flavor. Our waiter was very kind and offered many times to take photos of us, which was greatly appreciated! Overall, a nice place to celebrate or spend the night if you're in the market for drinks or specific items on their menu.

While visiting our friends in Tempe, Arizona, they took us to Lucero for dinner. This rooftop bar is located on top of the Omni hotel, with a commanding view of downtown Tempe. We took the elevator up to the restaurant and the door opened up to this lovely space with a great atmosphere. There is a large dining room with a long bar, with floor to ceiling glass windows. To the right is an outside patio with dining tables. Because it was a warm day, we opted to dine inside. Because we had a big lunch earlier that day, we decided to snack and have drinks. We ordered the Short Rib Croquettes (chimichurri aioli, pickled fresno pepper), the Wagyu Tacos (grilled wagyu, jalapeño rémoulade, salsa molcajete, pickled onion, house blue corn tortillas), the Birria Empanadas (short rib, birria, queso asadero, cilantro, onion, birria consommé) and the Scallop Ceviche (citrus-cured scallops, avocado mousse, strawberry pico, jalapeño, cilantro oil, broken tostadas). All of the dishes were plated well, and the flavors were very good. The puffy chips that came with the Scallop Ceviche were adorable and tasty. Of course, they had bubbles but they were by the split, which is fine with me...bubbles is bubbles, no matter the size of the bottle. The staff was nice and attentive. We didn't do dessert, but got additional drinks and walked over to stare out the window and chat. Before I go, what was the coolest thing about the whole experience? Despite the great food with the amazing flavors, the menus were crazy nice! They were backlit with a light so you could actually read them in the dimly lit restaurant. That was so cool as I didn't have to pull out my phone to see what I was ordering. Overall, Lucero was a cool dining experience. Next time we go, I want to try the burger as our friends said it was very good and I trust them.

Hubby and I celebrated our first anniversary here at Lucero! The view is spectacular you get a great view of Tempe with the city lights sparkling all around. I'm so glad he chose this restaurant, because the staff made our anniversary night feel so very special. They surprised us with complementary champagne and a dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was delicious and we enjoyed everything we tried, although I will say we were left a little hungry afterward. Still it was a wonderful experience and we want to come back soon.

RASPBERRY LEMON DROP & A STRAWBERRY LYCHEE GIMLET

We were in the area, dropping off my daughter for another semester at ASU so I decided to book us a room at Omni hotel. This restaurant is located in the top of the roof of the hotel. We didn't make reservation, since we were just stopping by for a drink & appetizers. I thought we would sit at the bar, but we ended up getting a table after all. We decided on an outdoor table & glad we did the view was amazing. The staff were great, the appetizers were good and the cocktails were great and strong. We had the zodiac antipasto board, truffle fries, the raspberry lemon drop cocktail, and the strawberry lychee gimlet cocktail. I highly recommend this spot for a girls night out or just a Friday evening to wind down and relax. Or simply a special occasion and a date night. The vibes were amazing. I will definitely be visiting again.

The rooftop bar is located in the Omni Hotel and the views offered are great. We came during the evening and were very surprised to find it pretty slow on a Friday night. Initially, we planned to sit outside, but a bit too nippy and then realized the firepits were RSVP so we returned inside. Lightup menus are cool, but they died before we could actually place an order. We looked funny I'm sure tapping and looking around for the light on them... no, they just died... haha. Decided to do only cocktails. Margarita & Vodka Martini... Both were good and as expected, the price tag was much more than our previous stops... Decor and ambiance are exceptional. Planning to return again with the hopes that the vibe is up and kicking but with friends. I wouldn't recommend it as your only drinking spot as it will get expensive with the quickness... and this is Tempe, not Vegas so plan accordingly.

I have been wanting to come here for quite some time. I remember seeing a post on Instagram when it first opened, and it's taken me a while to get here. This really is a lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. When you get off the elevator on the 16th floor you are at the entrance to this rooftop bar and restaurant. There is a large dining room with a long bar, and an outside patio with dining tables and fire tables. It's surrounded by glass, so even though the roof is open, it's very safe. There were string lights and pine Garland and a really pretty Christmas tree next to the bar. Not sure how it's lit up when it's not holidays. Our server was very nice and very helpful. I love mezcal, but I know many people do not like it. When I ordered my drink, the watermelon sunset, he made sure to ask if I had had mezcal before. By the way, the menus are lit from behind. It's like a book made of two tablets. My cocktail, the Watermelon Sunset, was fantastic--very spicy with jalapenos floating on top - - but so good. Hubs ordered the Lucero burger, a half pound burger a veal and short rib topped with bacon jam. It was quite large, and he liked it a lot. I had the lobster and chorizo fundido, which came in a little crock and was served with a side of blue corn tortillas, pico de gallo, and cheese. You just made up your own tacos by spreading the lobster and chorizo mix on your tortilla. It was luscious with large chunks of lobster. I really liked it. This place has so much going for it. The view of Mill Avenue at night, The rows of fire tables surrounded by low sofas, the great service, and the delicious food and cocktails.

Lucero in Tempe is one of my favorite spots when the ladies and I get together. We truly appreciate the thoughtful details, like the light-up menu, beautiful photo opportunities, and the breathtaking view--especially during sunset. One of my visits was for my birthday in August, and overall, it was a lovely experience. The food was delicious! While the portions weren't overly large, they were perfectly satisfying for our group. A couple of critiques: there was a small miscommunication when my friends tried to surprise me with a dessert. Unfortunately, we had three different servers involved, and by the time the third server came over, they asked about the candles and who the dessert was for--right in front of me. While it wasn't a huge deal, it did take away from the surprise. Additionally, the service was a bit slow; we had to flag someone down just to place a second drink order. Just a friendly note for the staff to streamline communication in the future. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic, and we'll definitely be back!

This would be my first time to this place as for my husband he had been here a handful of times…read more We came for dinner and wasn't sure if we would be able to get seating without a long wait, but we were in luck. We choose to sit indoors. The restaurant is very cozy with dimmed lighting to add to the evening ambiance. It has a casual feel but you can dress up or down. Some people were casual and some more dressed up. We were seated at the front by the stage where live music was about to start. I thought this would be nice since I do enjoy live music. Well the speakers were facing right at our table and it was noticeably loud when the entertainer began to play. We asked for another table. We could not hear ourselves talking. I ordered a cocktail, The Giddy Up Espresso Martini. That was very delicious! They do have a full bar, it's nice to have choices as far as alcoholic beverages. Our food, Fish & Chips, BBQ Nachos, Aged Manchego, Crusty Bread Garlic Oil & Balsamic, and Molinari Sopressata. Everything was absolutely delicious! The fries with the Fish were perfect. My favorite besides the Martini. was the Crusty Bread with Olive Oil and Balsamic. Our server was the best! Amiriya made sure our drinks stayed filled and asked us what we thought about the food. Even on this busy night. After our meal we walked around the outside seating and game area. This place is a fun place to meet with others especially with the outdoor/patio game area. I would love to come back when in AZ.. But, I don't have to wait until then because we have a CD restaurant in the San Diego area! Woohoo! I can't wait to try some other dishes and have another Espresso Martini. I probably would pay for a shot of Bailey's added to the drink. Restaurant parking is busy but they do have additional parking just across the way. It happened to be busy because we were up against Valentine's Day weekend.

Great space for events! The regular restaurant area is very noisy, and the metal chairs are…read morehorrible.

My boyfriend got the pizza and it tasted as if it were a frozen pizza. I got the bang bang shrimp and it was good (6/10). The problem that I have is the pistachio gin fizz was an absolute no! I am a HUGE fan of pistachio and gin so immediately I had to get his drink but it was beyond mediocre. Are we drinking only syrup??? My last complaint is the coconut tres leches dessert.... Do we actually know how to make tres leches or we just naming desserts however we want? Just curious. It came out super hot, steaming more like a molten cake. As a Hispanic woman, I was expecting a creamy moist cake to celebrate my graduation but this was not it as well. Last but not least if the bald manager with the orange shirt wants to eat in the back of the kitchen, not the problem I get it (I work at restaurants) HOWEVER shoving your two index fingers into your mouth to get your debris out was my last straw. Like I said I like this restaurant and never had problems but today felt like a fever dream there.

A fancy restaurant with an even better view…read more We were able to snag a last minute reservation but for a late night dinner, there was plenty of seating. You can choose to sit inside or outside, but with the heat we decided on inside. We were able to have a great view of the city skyline. It felt a little stuffy and the AC/fan was quite weak, so be mindful of clothing. Our waitress was very nice and gave some good recommendations. I especially loved the complimentary corn bread and focaccia. We had the flatbread and chicken and doughnuts as appetizers. They were okay - I didn't think they were anything special and probably wouldn't order them again. I really enjoyed my main dish. From previous reviews, I was nervous to thinking the black truffle risotto and scallops would be small but they were quite large and filled me up alongside all of our appetizers. I would recommend this dish. -1 star because it took forever to receive our food. I would estimate over an hour.
