Well I wasn't going to do this but I felt I had to say something about my first experience at Lon's. My best friend wanted to take me somewhere nice with a patio and the choice was mine where to go. I had heard so many great things about Lon's that it was my first choice. He has lived here 55 years and never had been here so we were both excited. Upon arriving we loved the patio instantly. The manager was very nice and made a great effort to get us a table outside since it was our first time. Unfortunately the service from that point forward failed. Our waiter didn't introduce himself, tell us of any specials, recommend anything, and was very impersonal.. Then the lady bussing the tables reached right between us to remove our plates never asking if we were finished or saying excuse me. This was a rather pricey meal and usually with that comes outstanding service. We enjoyed the food the wine and the live music. We loved the patio atmosphere but with the service being so impersonal I am not sure we would return. Perhaps we just were unlucky and caught our server on an off night. But his off night may have cost Lon's a few new customers.
