    Tony's Steak and Seafood - Fried Camembert. Extremely small. Extraordinarily basic. Not worth it.

    Tony's feels like stepping into an old American steakhouse, the kind that's been around forever,…read moreknows its regulars, and hasn't felt the need to change much over the years. It's been 60+ years for Tony's. The food is average but dependable. Steaks and seafood are prepared competently, portions are generous, and everything tastes exactly how you expect. Nothing stands out, it's familiar comfort more than destination dining. I wish they used fresh calamari instead of the rings. The friendly, old-school service does a lot of the heavy lifting here. The staff are warm and attentive, which helps elevate what would otherwise be a very middle-of-the-road meal. I watched them work together like a Olympic team. GREAT! A cultural icon with nostalgia on its side, worth a visit if you like classic American/Australian -style steakhouses, but not a place you go for wow factor. You will get good fires and a steak.

    A vintage steakhouse with the dark moody vibe that gives the feeling it's been here for decades,…read morewithout any upgrades. The steak is good and the servers are kind. But the food is underwhelming and our server got our orders incorrect, despite repeating it back to us. She also brought us a drink that we did not order and instead of simply taking it back, she tried to push it onto us claiming that we indeed ordered it. Odd experience. For table appetizers we tried the fried calamari and camembert. It was disappointing to see the camembert was very small and served with basic crackers, not complimentary to the cheese at all. The calamari was good but a little oily. Each person in our party of 4 ordered different steaks, the steak is why you come to Tony's - all were cooked to our preference. I requested double veggies with my filet, since 2 sides come with each entree. But my veggies were the exact size of everyone else's at my table. When I questioned it, I was told that this is what I would get. Hmmm, okay. While I see the appeal for the pricing and the steak, Tony's would not be my first choice for a steakhouse in this area.

    Service was fast maybe because I was a single. It was busy. It has a look of the old style…read moresteakhouse with wooden paneled walls booths.The sides were limited and I had the "potato log" thing. A steak without a baked potato as a choice is just wrong. I got the Aged Specialty Sirloin $44. It was cooked to my liking on the inside but medium/medium rare but no crust on the outside. Seasoned fare, nothing special. I couldn't believe the gristle wasn't trimmed before cooking. Maybe so the size and weight would look bigger. I have had much better at Chili's. I haven't had a good steak since I moved to Australia from the US, and others have said the same. Their cuts seem to be full of gristle, even all the Spencer Steaks (Ribeyes). I expected on New York, but not on ribeyes or sirloins. I told them my review and they were very apologetic. They called the gristle fat, I like fat, you can eat fat. The offered a Ribeye The Ribeye came medium rare. I instantly could smell teriyaki. It was tender and flavorful no gristle. I do wish it did not have the flavor teriyaki though. A good steak doesn't need teriyaki They were very nice and pleasant to work with me. I originally have three stars I gave it another store for their professionalism.

    Our second time there. Did not disappoint. Salmon was perfect. Calamari was equally good. Steak…read moreand Bolognese were delicious. Be aware that the side of veggies has a sauce (partially), but were very tasty.
