Fodor's Review:
In an adobe hacienda hand-built by cowboy artist Lon Megargee, this romantic spot has sweeping vistas of Camelback Mountain and the perfect patio for after-dinner drinks under the stars. Megargee's art and cowboy memorabilia decorate the dining room. The menu changes seasonally but includes appetizers like rock shrimp with roasted-corn sauce and juniper-smoked wild Chinook salmon. Wood-grilled, melt-in-your-mouth filet mignon over Gorgonzola mashed potatoes, and more exotic dishes like pecan-grilled antelope are main course options. Phoenicians love the Sunday brunch.

3rd Time - Not a Charm
Posted by stuart59 from New Jersey on 2/20/07
After having had two wonderful lunches at Lon's in recent years, our recent dinner experience was a bit disappointing. First of all, Lon's is perhaps the most beautiful restaurant you will ever find, with the greatest outdoor dining patio anywhere. It wasn't easy to get a reservation. After being served a flat glass of Champaigne (which I sent back), we found the food to be mediocre. We tried the Pre Fixe dinner. Crab enchiladas that were skimpy and bland. A good entre of short ribs, followed by a $20 (estimated) chocolate fondue for two - a meager pile of cut up fruit and a small bowl of chocolate sauce - the presentation was terrible. I'm crossing Lon's off my list.
Also - a word to 20-something waiters, when you recommend a $100+ bottle of wine as if you were the world's greatest wine expert, it sounds really stupid.
