ROKERIJ Rokerij, Dutch for “smokehouse” is a snazzy restaurant located in Phoenix. The upstairs is newly remodeled and now looks as smart as any place in town, but it's still dark enough to keep things dreamy. Downstairs the couches in front of the fireplace are the perfect place for a nightcap — or any one of the Rokerij's excellent small plates. The menu includes first-rate veal chop, top sirloin, prime rib and pork chop as well as deftly crafted ocean fare such as halibut and sea bass. Finish with the decadent, liqueur-soaked B-52 torte.
