Editorial Review for Lon's at the Hermosa – by Jim Cherry

In Short
Though it's surrounded by a bustling city, Lon's has the romantic ambiance of a remote desert oasis with wooden beams and stuccoed walls. Originally the home of Arizona artist Lon Megargee, the building's been restored in a Western motif, with glowing oil paintings and cowboy memorabilia. Lon's specializes in fresh takes on Southwestern dishes, but the menu meanders through various flavors. Brunch lovers go for the Brie quesadilla with smoked salmon.

2 Star Rating: Below Average

I am from out of town and have two reservations at this location in two years and had the same bad experience twice. Both times I had 8:45 pm reservations and both times waited over an hour to be seated. While waiting you are usually ignored. Even ordering drinks is takes almost 30 minutes. Do not hope for an outside table, if it is available when you get there just count your lucky stars. By the time you get served it is so long the quality of the food doesn't even matter. It is much worse than the Chineese Restaurant experience on Seinfeld. I will not attempt to eat at Lon's again.

Pros: Nice outdoor scenery.

Cons: They can take a reservation, they just can't hold the reservation. Very slow service.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Don't miss Lon's. It is tops in Phoenix! Great service and wonderful presentation. Food was exciting visually and prepared perfectly.

Pros: Cannot be improved

Cons: There is not a CON!
