    Our waiter Ty was exceptional. The entire staff goes above and beyond with service. We were there for our anniversary and one of our desserts was free. My husband had the pork chop and said it was the best one he's ever had. I had their barrmundi and it was the best I ever had. You will not be disappointed coming here, go now!

    The food was really enjoyable. Actually hot when it arrived at the table. It was nice to have a complete meal instead of the suddenly popular a la carte menu. Looking forward to our next visit.

    It has been 15 years since I last dined and Lon’s. I used to eat there five to seven times per year and had such fond memories. I made these reservations whilst in Family Vacation and went with high expectation’s. It showed that my memory was accurate. The food was outstanding, the service was attentive without being distracting and the ambiance, outside in the patio, was sublime. It was my guests’ first experience and I set it up as a great time. They told me afterward that they had a hard time believing that it was as excellent as I touted. They actually remarked that it was even better than my description

    Food for five persons were very good with great services and hospitality.We ate our dinner at five pm and the outdoor dining area were pretty dark as there are no ceiling lights but do have small table LED light lamps and under bench lighting. Some of us had hard hard time reading the menus with low lights but was managed somehow. We will go there again with better daylights.
