We have dined at Lon’s many times and were never disappointed. However, this time happened to be during restaurant week which happened to coincide with our birthday celebration. I hope that was the reason we were pouring our own wine and the food was not up to the usual standards. The short ribs were perfection, but the salad (too much lettuce) and desert (panacotta unlike any I’ve ever had) were disappointing. it was too warm to eat out on the patio, but our table in the dining room was lovely!

Dinner at Lon’s on a warm Night on the patio is a joy. The food is always excellent, the staff is knowledgable and attentive, the wine list is great - and you can’t beat the ambiance on the patio. It is one of our favorite dining spots in AZ.

The six of us who decided to eat at Lon’s for restaurant week were not disappointed. The beauty of the grounds and the ambiance of the restaurant were appreciated by all of us. The service was impeccable. And then—the food. Our taste buds got a workout. Everything was beyond delicious! This evening was definitely an experience not to be missed!

LON's never disappoints. Another wonderful dining experience. Appetizers, mains and desert had beautiful presentation and taste. Service was attentive without being over the top. Grounds are beautiful. We always choose LON's as a go to. Inside tables and one of the best patio dining options. Go If you haven't been or haven't been for a while.
