Description: LON’s at the Hermosa is the most authentic hacienda in Arizona, surrounded by spectacular scenery. Its elegant dining room melds homemade adobe and rustic ironwork with flattering lighting and carefully set tables. Enjoy award-winning Artful American Cuisine on the spacious patio, or by one of the fireplaces throughout the lounge and dining areas, adorned with art pieces by Lon Megargee. The menus at LON’s offer a memorable culinary experience, which captures spirit, creativity and warmth using bold flavors and compelling combinations that reflect a contemporary take on the multitude of foods originating in the Western Hemisphere. Our chef and master gardener grow a wide selection of organic herbs, heirloom vegetables and fruit on the grounds. Harvested at the peak of their flavor and combined with other locally grown produce, the ingredients are incorporated into brilliantly creative dishes.

We had dinner here during our stay at the Hermosa Inn. Beautiful grounds both indoors and out. We opted for dining under the stars. The night was beautiful. Music serenaded us during dinner and our wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was wonderful and I even won a free CD during a trivia question? Who can ask for... More

Our newest favorite place in Scottsdale... The Hermosa Inn in Paradise Valley. Yes, it is a hideaway - we had a difficult time finding it at dusk but our persistence was well rewarded! Use your GPS! We found two large mission style chairs on the patio in front of the Last Drop bar, surrounded by blazing wood burning fires. Our... More

Truly a wonderful evening. Early May in Phoenix was HOT HOT HOT. Sitting on the outside Veranda in the early evening with a nice breeze was wonderful and the setting very beautiful, very southwestern! The service (esp maître) was very professional and not overbearing. Very accommodating for our large business group. The food was very good - some funky items... More

What a night!! Beginning to end this is a first class restaurant. The service, atmosphere and food were impeccable. We were part of a group of ten people celebrating a friends birthday. We ate on the veranda amongst the flora. Especially nice was the fact there were no insects to detract from the unique setting. It was a night to... More

My wife and I had the opportunity to stay at the Hermosa Inn one night because of plane connections in Phoenix. One of the reasons we chose the Hermosa, was that Lon's is there. We were not disappointed. Dinner was excellent. We had the option to sit outside where a jazz combo was entertaining on a delightful patio, or inside... More

We went to Lon's for my son's Arizona State University graduation dinner and loved it. We had a party of 10 and sat outside under the lights with a guitar soloist playing in the background. Great evening and delicious food.

We dined on the patio with a group of friends. The atmosphere was beautiful. We were fortunate to be there on an evening with live entertainment. It was excellent and added to our experience. The food was delicious. The garden areas are lovely and well maintained. Eat outdoors, if you can.

We loved both the atmosphere and the food at this great restaurant. They have the most amazing wine collection and wine cellar which our great waiter, Ken, was happy to tour us around to. The salad with the chocolate dressing was to die for unique and tasty, I loved the halibut (it was a bit salty but still great), my... More

Be sure to get a tour of the main building, its a place with a deep history in the American West, has a cool wine cellar, and you can see the original adobe. Meal was fantastic, and the staff was great. Our waiter took real pride in sharing the menu and the history of the ranch.

Lon's has the one of the best patios I've seen; and live music the night we were there. Food is great and service even better. Loved it!
