| - Wow, I've been really fond of the restaurants I've visited lately. I think I've been so surprised by the awesome places in obscure locations I never thought I'd ever visit. Not that Scottsdale is "obscure", but it is still unexpected, and we chose Lon's without much local help. It was a total shot in the dark.
Went on a Monday night. The place was empty, but it was still charming. The story is that the location was actually Lon's house (he lived in the early 1900's), and has been remodeled into a restaurant. It's in a residential neighborhood, but has complementary valet, and also huge patio areas, if you can take the heat (not us, clearly... ha).
The service was great, because the restaurant was deserted and we got both waitresses. The bread basket was overflowing with 4 different kinds of bread. We had Prosecco to drink which I looooveeeeeeee.
For an appetizer, I had the House Salad which has toasted pecans, blue cheese crumbles, and a Prickly Pear Vinaigrette dressing. Perfect proportion of dressing to salad!
For dinner, my mom and I split the special, which was Grouper with a peach and cilantro salsa, on a big bed of Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
Our bill total came to about $75, and Lon's was definitely the right choice. SO GOOD!
