Dining room at Lon's at the Hermosa, Paradise Valley, AZA quaint collection of adobe casitas, The Hermosa Inn sits nestled on an idyllic plot of desert in posh Paradise Valley, five minutes but a world away from one of the Valley's busiest intersections. The former homestead of famed cowboy artist Lon Megargee, its focal point---Lon's---is as notable as its namesake former tenant, set amid a gallery of rooms dripping with historic charm and Arizona artifacts. Chef Jeremy Pacheco draws his inspiration from across the globe, however, so he might feature salt seared ahi on a real salt block, Kobe tartare topped with poached quail egg and truffle vinaigrette, or pan-seared Scottish salmon alongside semolina gnocchi, fennel, roasted cauliflower, salmon bacon and caper butter. Servers are deft with recommendations and wine pairings selected from the fully-stocked underground cellar, and if they say something is fresh, it is, including produce plucked daily from the Hermosa's culinary gardens. During good weather, the patio is heaven on earth, and even in winter, diners converge outside, warmed by the flickering, fragrant fire pits.
