    John was great. My wife and I enjoyed our anniversary very much. The little touches (remembering that she is pregnant, our anniversary, a nice card) were wonderful touches. Being in the industry, those little things don't go unnoticed. Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

    The food was quite good--my companion and I both ordered Eggs Benedict---however the English Muffin was so tough that I had to ask for a steak knife to cut through it. And even that didn't do the job. I am a bit of an Eggs Benedict aficionado, so I know there is no excuse for a "tough" English Muffin. I expected a higher standard from a restaurant I like to frequent.

    I normally would not respond to a Restaurant, that in the past has been one of our favorites. Our Server was very kind, but in an almost empty room, we had a very marginal and very expensive evening that frankly has moved the needle of 20 years of going there will be taken off of our list of places to go. Way too many choices to choose from in the Phoenix area to have poor food quality and slow service. I will be looking for other reviews to change my mind. 😢

    Outside seating is a must when weather permits. Shortrib is always great. I wouldn't get the two wash chicken it was just ok. Foie gras doughnuts were disappointing, when foie is the first thing in the name I want to taste the foie. The foie was almost and after thought, in the one bite I got where there was enough to taste is was good. We always love going there but this was their first day with a new menu, I suggest you wait until they have it worked out a bit better. We got the Mexican candy bar for dessert, we took like 2 bites of it and didn't finish.

    Enjoyed my first experience for brunch. We tried a variety of dishes. This is definitely worth the experience. I highly suggest the patio early am hours or Anytime during the fall would be nice. Valet parking is complimentary. Tipping is always recommended 😉 Quality and presentation overall taste of the dishes were amazing and unique in there own way.

    We went to Lon's again last night for dinner. They outdid themselves. This is probably the BEST restaurant experience we have ever had: Food was " beyond amazing", service was outstanding & excellent. My husband said the fillet was the best he has ever had, and coming from a Midwesterner, this is a true compliment. If you are looking for that 'special' experience, this is it. We felt like royalty at Lon's! Thank you to the Lon's team for making us feel so special. Will definitely return as it did not disappoint. Lon's is probably one of the best kept secrets not only in Scottsdale, but in all of the USA. We highly recommend Lon's if you are in Scottsdale/Phoenix area. Can't wait to return!!

    This was not the first time for us but it was for the couple we took there and we all were so impressed with everything. The wait staff were very responsive and friendly always making sure we had what we needed. 3 of us got the filet and the last person ordered the halibut. Exquisite! All medium rare filets, 2 beautifully mid rare but mine was medium to medium well although I also ordered it mid rare. Honestly that was the only glitch, and it did not take away from the experience. Will definitely be going back.
