    I took a friend to Lon’s to celebrate her birthday. We both enjoyed delicious salads. She ordered the Sonoran Salad and she enjoyed every bite! I ordered the Caesar Salad and added chicken. It too was delicious and the portion was so big that I took half home for dinner! The ambiance at Lon’s is beautiful inside and out and the service is exceptional.

    My friend and I were treated wonderfully from the moment we were greeted at the hostess until we left. Our server Nicole was very well informed, attentive, and had great suggestions. I wasn’t sure which wine I wanted so Nicole suggested I sample two different wines and the man from the bar brought them over. Once I made my decision my glass was immediately brought over. The food was brought to us in a timely manner but never had a rushed feeling. My friend and I relaxed, chatted, had a great time. Shared a salad per our server’s suggestion which was excellent! The best Caesar I have ever had. She made recommendations and we ended up splitting the filet mignon and scallops which were both perfectly seasoned and cooked. The squash ,potatoes and veggies which came with the entrees were outstanding. Then we split an order of the butter cake, also Nicole’s suggestion and it was 5 stars. The ambience was so nice and walking in the smell of their coffee bar was wonderdul. And I don’t drink coffee! I will definitely be back soon .
