Coming straight from missing our flight to Cabo for the weekend*, my boyfriend and I instead decided to have a nice dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We were still a bit bummed that we weren't dining on the beach, though, so Lon's had a lot to live up to to salvage the night.
Fortunately, our dinner was phenomenal :) The setting was really romantic - we sat out on the patio right in front of the fireplace, and the moon provided just enough light for the meal.
We ordered the chef's tasting ($75 per person) with wine pairings (and extra $35). Every course was delicious:
- Oysters
- Charcuterie plate with rabbit confit
- Seared scallops over brussel sprouts and fingerling potatoes
- Sliced kobe beef with gnocchi
- Some chocolate orange pot de creme type of dessert
The standouts of the night were the rabbit confit (moist and flavorful) and the gnocchi (incredibly light and airy) - if these are offered as part of the regular menu, order them!
We left after a 2.5 hour dinner happy and tipsy, completely letting go of the airport fiasco - for that reason alone: 5 stars!
*Note to others: Check in for international flights a full 60 minutes ahead of time, even if you're not checking bags. And yes, although it may not seem like Mexico should count, it does.
