A 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. Amidst a gallery of rooms dripping with historic charm and Arizona artifacts, chef Michael Rusconi features masa-fried oyster tacos, roasted canyon quail, Jalisco-style scallop and ahi ceviche, imaginative salads fresh from the Hermosa's gardens and sampler platters that are great for grazers. An underground wine cellar (and expanded wine list) makes Lon's more elegant than ever. And in spring, the patio is heaven on earth.
