On six secluded acres in the shadow of Camelback Mountain, the adobe home of cowboy artist Lon Megargee now houses a sophisticated restaurant. It's part of the Hermosa Inn, a cluster of adobe casitas with the feel of a desert oasis. Lon's western art, fireplaces, flagstone floors and heavy beam ceilings lend elegance to the dining room. The outdoor patio provides the setting for romantic dining under the stars. The seasonally changing menu offers vibrant Southwestern flavors, but is not limited to those dishes. Fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits come from Lon's and other local gardens. Lon's menu is slightly expensive, but not nearly as pricey as most resort food. The sweet potato fries and red onion rings are popular. Main dishes include mesquite-grilled filet mignon served with Chanterelle mushrooms, potato-and-leek galette and red wine sauce. Grand Canyon fry bread tacos are wrapped around blackstrap barbecue chicken with corn relish, pico de gallo, guacamole and pickled chiles. The wine list draws from Lon's 1,000-bottle cellar. For the budget-conscious, salads, soups, sandwiches and burgers are available. Lon's Sunday brunch is one of the Valley's finest.

This movie was such a real stinker. Save your money. Don't even buy it when it comes out on dvd.

What a dining experience

By cype on 07/23/2007

So you want to take family members from out of town to a great dining experience, Lon's is your place! The food has a southwestern influence to it which is why my wife and I took 6 family members, all from Seatle(think dining snobs). We eached order a different entre' and every member of the family even the in-laws bragged about their dish. The wait staff was attentive and what a wonderful wine list. The atmosphere was fantastic with a real western flavor. Yes they want to come back to Phoenix, not to visit us but for the dining experience at Lon's!

The Best in the West

By toby34625 on 10/16/2006

My husband and I (who are local) and two other couples from out of town ate outside on the patio. This had to be 7 or 8 years ago. It was in January and they had heaters outside. The food was excellent as well as the atmosphere and service. We had dessert inside. The couple from NY still rave about it. We now live out of state and will be in town this weekend, but I'm not so sure if it's the same quaity, especially for the money after reading some of the current reviews.

Last Meal of Pompeii!

By lochnessprod on 07/26/2006

While it is lovely to sit on the patio beside the fireplace - beware: it will feel like the last meal at Pompeii as your table gets covered by ash! My husband and I went for our anniversary - and for the first night out without our two-month old! Despite feeling like we were downwind of a volcano, it was beautiful. Our server was extremely knowledgable and friendly. I had the goat cheese and arugula salad with beets and strawberries. Could have used a few more beets... My husband had the gazpacho - although it was quite good, my husband has decided he's 'over' gazpacho. : ) Two-pepper crusted pork tenderloin is excellent. Get a side of the prickly-pear braised red cabbage. Delicious! Bring your wallet, baby!
