⸻ Outstanding Lunch Experience! I stopped in for the lunch special and was thoroughly impressed. The pork chop was absolutely amazing—perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The soup was also excellent, rich and comforting. What truly set the experience apart, though, was the service. Attentive, friendly, and truly over the top in the best way. Highly recommend for a quality midday meal!

My steak was overcooked and dry. I am a little sad that I didn't just make one at home. The red fish special was a bit better but still a little over. The chicken was superb! Service was amazing, everyone was so so nice.

Awesome Anniversary dinner. Tony's exudes timeless elegance. The dining room is stylish, warm and inviting. Lighting fit the mood. Food was creative and delicious. Service was A+ attentive without being overbearing. And, to top it all off, Louie Carrington was playing the piano and crooning out hits from the Great American Songbook. What a perfect vibe! If you are seeking a respite from Tik Tok/Instragram type restaurants, and a return to something sophisticated, discerning, and graceful, this is the place for you.
