The food portions of the 9-course menu are very filling, unlike a stereotypical "fine dining establishment." We celebrated my wife's birthday, and everything was truly memorable. From the warm welcome in the lounge to the excellent service and fantastic food, the coup de grâce was the surprise they shared at the end of the meal. This was the best meal we have shared in Houston and is a remarkable experience. The menu is highly seasonal, the wine pairings were expertly matched to each course, and the staff were outstanding. If you are looking to celebrate a special occasion or want a delicious meal that leaves you full, March is definitely worth the effort to book.

Service was excellent. Food was well prepared and seasoned well. Starters Peruvian ceviche and the angry scorpion roll were very tasty! The Toro Toro churrasco sampler was a good survey of the restaurant’s grilled specialties - a great choice and filled our party of four. Thanks for a super pre-concert dinner.

Tony's is one of the best restaurants in the country. The restaurant has a lot of history and it's a really beautiful restaurant. I have dined at Tony's for now over 40 years and it is without a doubt one of the finest restaurants I have ever had the pleasure to experience. From start to finish, it is sheer joy to behold. The service is impeccable, the ambiance is stunning, yet relaxing all at once. Most recently, I was there to celebrate a good friend's birthday and the entire staff couldn't have made it more special. There aren't enough accolades to describe how truly special dining at Tony's is.
