    Lon’s is consistently a great dinner location and we have been several times. It did not disappoint again this evening. We had great service and the food was fabulous. It has definitely become more expensive as a nice dinner with a bottle of wine with a 20% tip because it was great service was about $400. Having said that, however, we had a great split bowl of poblano soup and the mushroom tempura for appetizers and then we had a filet mignon and sea bass. The food was cooked perfectly and Chrissy our server was wonderful. We had some lemon sherbet and chocolate gelato for desert. For wine we had a bottle of Daou Reserve Cabernet. The love acoustic guitar player was wonderful as well. All in, it was just perfect earring outside on the patio with my beautiful wife.

    We absolutely love the theme dinners. The staff really get in to it and make the dining room shine! The chef and kitchen staff also seem to really enjoy introducing the menu items per course. Thr food and drink are always delicious. The valet people are also wonderfully patient and helpful when we have trouble with the app. Thank you all for making these nights out so special. Cheers!

    The service, food and ambiance were excellent. We ate inside at the front of the restaurant. Nice room with a real fireplace lit. We happened to be there in Wine Wednesday and got 30% off the bottle if wi e we shared. An unexpected bonus. Great meal. Thank you Tonto's!!

    Overall a very good experience. My one recommendation is to have heaters around the tables and chairs. Since it is all outdoors and it get chilly after sunset.

    Terra Tempe’s service as usual was extremely good and the staff was very courteous and friendly. I have been there consistently since their doors open, I was disappointed in the Mexican Prawns this years. I frequently order them but this time they dumped so maany hot pepper flakes into the dish that not only I but every one at our table had a hard time eating; way to spicy. Many of the dishes have been high quality and we love them but someone got carried away with the heat. The chicken sandwich was excellent and the chicken and dumplings was poor. This was a new menu just started a couple days prior to our arrival. I know they have the abilities to prepare much better food than we received on this night.
