Boy was not as impressed as I but I thought it was good and worth mentioning.
We went for restaurant week, which I have learned can either be good or bad. (During one restaurant week several years ago I was served overcooked chicken on what could only have been canned peas and corn-we never went back for the regular menu) I was impressed by Lon's.
Ambiance: Excellent although next time we will request a patio seat. If it isn't 100 degrees outside, I suggest you do the same.
Staff was excellent. Our server was introduced to us as "Frenchie." We immediately found out why. She was thorough and thoughtful with her recommendations.
Food: Now here is where it gets complicated. I had the chilled pea soup and I thought it was really great. Flavor was good, ingredients and style were all appropriate for the weather. The roasted chicken was my next course and thought this was great too. Overall, excellent food until I tried the boy's calamari- not so much. I know many people appreciate large portions but the law of diminishing returns applies to one's appetite as well. The calamari was large, deep fried and piled high. Bloated and uncomfortable after consuming large quantities of fried food, he wasn't even slightly hungry after he finished the first course. Now, I know, he could have stopped eating the on his own. I agree. he made a personal choice to eat the fried but I think there has to be some portion planning on the chef's part as well or at least a warning "Caution: you will not be interested in any other food item after consumption of the calamari". Needless to say he was not impressed at all with his second course, the hanger steak.
Wine: lots of options- very pleased.
