WOW! What an excellent experience. The mansion is immaculate and stunning. We had the Beef Collette (beautiful cut with tasty jam) and the Chicken Parm (love the red sauce and parm sauce - a unique taste) and the cannelloni, bread, and salad were all exceptional. Jen is a server who is also a brand ambassador to the restaurant and city. She was so very interesting and we will request her again. There are so many unique dining areas within the mansion that family or business events would become special

Tony's Steakhouse & Bar

Alton, Illinois

About the restaurant

Great service and atmosphere aren’t the only reasons people have been making the trip to Tony’s for 70 years. Tony’s is the home of the World Famous Pepperloin Steak.
This beef tenderloin is marinated in Tony’s secret marinade, rolled in half-cracked black pepper, grilled to perfection, and drizzled with garlic butter. After one bite of this mouth-watering steak, you will never want steak from another restaurant again. It is so tender it can be cut with a butter knife, and it practically melts on your palette.
If you are looking for a place to enjoy great drinks in a beautiful setting, check out The Whiskey Bar at Tony’s. We have a premium whiskey selection with all kinds of rare finds, beautiful craft cocktails with fresh house made syrups, our new cherry vanilla house infused bourbon, and an amazing wine list. Stop for a drink before or after dinner, enjoy a bourbon while you wait for your carry out or plan a night out with friends!

We attended with another couple to take advantage of your Date Night We arrived early to take advantage of your Happy Hour. Dinner reservations were made for 6 but we advised that we were there and were seated early. Ashley was our waitress and she was very good, attending to our table without being overbearing. Everyone’s dinner was superb. Kudos to you for providing a truly wonderful experience at a more than reasonable price.

It was an excellent choice for Italian food in an area we don't frequent. Excellent menu selections, along with a special summer menu and daily specials. Our server was attentive and delightful and the restaurant was quiet, enabling good conversation!
