    My wife my mother and I brought Thanksgiving to our daughter an athletic trainer at UK Based on recommendations of my daughters best friend and Lexinfamily friend we decided to celebrate our daughters birthday (26) and our anniversary (37) at Tony’s Loved the valet service; the receptionist were great. Happy hour was fantastic due to the great service of Adley! Dinner was EXCELLENT- the knowledge, service and personality of Allison combined with the great food and atmosphere made for a wonderful eating All Superb: Blue point oysters Seared Ahi Tuna tartare 9oz filet Blackened Yellow Fin Tuna Jack’s Dry Aged Bone In New York Strip We are from Tampa; hands down this beats Berns, Charlie’s and Ruths Chris Bottom line: Will we return- Absolutely My one question to Tony Ricci: When does the Tampa Tony’s open?

    The food met my expectations. It was great, and I thought it would be. The decor was a bit blah for the price of the food. It didn’t feel warm. Service was great, and they kept checking on us all the time.

    Excellent service, excellent food, as we’ve come to expect! We had the tuna appetizer, shared a 12 oz barrel cut filet, macaroni & cheese and creamed spinach. All were excellent choices. I had a lemon drop martini, which was perfect.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Tony’s. We had calamari appetizer that was delicious. Entree was the fillet with baked potato. The grilled Caesar salad had an excellent fried parmigiana cheese. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It was so tender you could cut it with a fork.

    Our server was probably the worst we’ve ever had! He was extremely inattentive, we often had to request his attention to our table when he was standing right next to us. The drink service and food was VERY slow and they weren’t busy at the time we were there. I had reminded the hostess and our server, Dustin, that we were celebrating my husband’s 81st birthday but it was not acknowledged! The couple we were with was equally disappointed in our overall experience and we all agreed we would not recommend Tony’s for an enjoyable dining experience to any of our friends. Sad, we have dined there before many times but it was a huge fail this time! Not to mention we were seated behind the hostess stand where the girl’s dresses were so short they had to keep pulling them down to cover their panties, not a pleasant view while trying to eat.

    The crab cake appetizer was a large portion and very good. The 9oz filet was perfectly cooked and had excellent seasoning. Service was attentive without being over solicited. Cons: pricing is a bit high; extremely noisy, it was difficult to converse with my dinner companion. It was a full house before a concert, so I would recommend going on a slower night.

    Tony's is a great 'traditional' steak house. The food is always very good and the atmosphere never disappoints. Unfortunately the level of service has slipped some - while the staff seating and doing reservations is excellent our server seemed to be rushed and in turn caused our dining experience to be rushed. With a little bit of attention to this detail this would be a 4.5 - 5 star experience.

    We had a wonderful time at Tony's. The ribeye was outstanding, alongside the crab cake and much more. Kendra was our amazing server and made our experience extremely enjoyable. She was attentive to our table all evening and gave excellent recommendations! Food and service was amazing, I would absolutely go back and recommend for a nice dinner in Lexington.

    My mother had the rack of lamp and I had the Jacks dry bone in Ny strip. We also had the ahi tuna, the truffle wedges, and five cheese Mac. Everything was delicious. I ordered my steak rare and it was cooked properly but I wish I would have ordered it med rare. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful. We went on a Friday night. It is a little expensive but will definitely be a place that we will go back to for special occasions.

    Sadly this was the most disappointing experience we’ve ever had there. Service was so slow and the food was not as good. We were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday and it was very disappointing. My daughter’s salmon was dry and my other daughter’s steak was overcooked even though she’d asked for medium. The asparagus we ordered for the table was tough and had no flavor. We just were not impressed at all this time. It may be awhile before we go again and spend $300!

    Had not been in a while…Tony’s was always my favorite special occasion go-to…not any more! What a sad difference…both meals ( filet and chicken) were dry and over cooked, tasteless…previously perfect mashed potatoes were runny and flavorless…even the desserts were sadly mediocre…at least the mussels were fabulous as is the sourdough bread…hope ‘Tony’ figures this out…
