Steakhouse
Great service and atmosphere aren’t the only reasons people have been making the trip to Tony’s for over 65 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!

    I recommend having a delicious meal at Tony’s. The only thing is that there was an odor in the level down the steps south of the bar. It may have been mold, although it also smelled like petroleum. Our waitress, Corby was perfect!

    I enjoy Tony’s. However it was hard to carry on a conversation due to the noise level. I also decided that I no longer wish to sit in the dining room, and prefer the bar side. There is a strange chemical smell in the dining room, almost like tar or fresh oil/asphalt.

    A hometown classic never gets old. Tony's pepperloin is always wonderful. The prices are a bit exorbitant. But good food takes time, talent, and money.

    Normally would rate much better but there was a table of very inebriated women who were so loud, it interrupted everybody’s conversations. The owner was there and should have addressed it. Even saying we are glad you’re having a good time but other people need to enjoy their time as well. Our food and server were excellent. The noise level was terrible.

    It had been 20 years since we last visited. Wanted to let our children experience Tony’s for the first time. The food was amazing. The Lobster Bisque was the best I have ever had. The server was amazing. Over all we had a great time. We will be back the next time we are home for a visit. Thank you.

    Overall, the food was pretty good, and the service was very solid. Our only real issue was with the filet as my wife asked for medium, and it came out rare. The waitress happily brought it back to the kitchen to be cooked more, but when it was brought back out, it was hardly any more cooked. Everything else was very good, but it's a bit shockining that a steakhouse can't deliver on the proper wellness of the steak.

    Pepperloin undercooked. Specified well. It was medium at best. Recooked…I think in convection oven, perhaps not, I don’t know, but it wasn’t great. Pizza was excellent. Thank you for serving in main dining room Restaurant very noisy. Not relaxing

    As always, the food was fantastic. I noticed that there had been an increase in the price of your pepperloin, but it is always good. I would probably eat there more often if it was a little more affordable.

    Service, cocktails and dinner were good. The only thing I didn’t care for was the covers they put on their food. It’s probably to keep it hot, but it just reminds me of a hospital or cafeteria. I realize it’s silly, but (to me) it cheapens the experience of a higher-end meal.

    I had a reservation at 5 and didn’t get waited on until 5:20. It was a couple that got seated after us that got waited on immediately. I did ask for a supervisor, which she did apologized but my concern is that we had about 5 servers walk past us without acknowledging that we didn’t even had water. Won’t be back :(

    Not the Tony's we loved. First time at the new restaurant. The host and waitress were wonderful. Our food was not personal, as one would expect from the original Tony's. A filet, by itself, in the middle of a large plate, no garnish nor hint of sauce, almost cold, not acceptable. The side plate of pasta con Sicilian Ragu was terrific, as was the salad. Sent the uncooked/cold Portabella stuffed with crab back. I did not want to embarrass my wife on her birthday, so I did not address these issues while there. I hope you were just having a bad night.
