My boyfriend and I came here for valentines. Despite expecting somewhat delayed service for this special occasion, everything that could have gone wrong did! This dinner was so extremely disappointing... Let me preface this review by saying that my boyfriend was overjoyed when he made the reservation for our evening at Tony's weeks in advance. This restaurant was top rated in Houston, we were told I'd have a vegetarian option, and that the price would be $150.00 per person. He was more than willing to pay this price as he thought we'd be receiving wonderful service, food, atmosphere, etc. to justify that. Firstly we were seated in the back room with small round tables. There were roughly 10 tables in this room with a few servers and 2-3 what-looked-like Managers. I have no idea who actually took "care" of us this night because no one actually came to our table and introduced themselves as our server. We sat at our table for almost 10 minutes before we received water. I noticed everyone has bread and butter at their tables and asked the man who brought us water if we'd be receiving that as well to which he replied yes. Walked away and never came back. 15 minutes in we were brought menus by another server. 20 minutes in we were brought bread with no butter by another server. I asked if we could have butter and he said he'd bring it out immediately. He came back into the room with butter in his hand looked around as if he'd forgotten who asked and then proceeded to set it on the counter where they were preparing drinks or wine for people. We both just sat there jaw slacked like "really"?. Finally after another 10 minutes of waiting another server came by asking if we were ready to order. I asked the server about the vegetarian option as I didn't see it on the menu. He looked puzzled and said "uh.. Let me get your server and see". I tried to stop him to mention the butter for our bread that had been sitting on the counter for 10'minutes but he had wandered off. Here we sat again no butter and no idea about the vegetarian option for another few minutes. Finally a manager came by and sat butter on our table. I realized we needed napkins and asked for napkins as well. He nodded and walked off. Assuming that the server had relayed the information we sat there waiting again for our actual server (whoever that was) to bring us the info for the vegetarian menu. Another server came by and asked us again if we were ready to order. I said again no, we were told I'd have a vegetarian option. I also asked for napkins and hadnt received them. This server actually went to the chef and brought back the menu option for me and brought us our napkins. Finally! I was excited to see what I'd be having this evening and this server actually seemed to be helpful! I ordered a mushroom pasta for course 1, a mushroom risotto for course 2, and a vegetable plate for course 3. My boyfriend also ordered his food at this time. It's sad to say that when our food was brought out EACH COURSE was wrong or for another table. First course they set down some tartar looking thing- nope this wasn't mine. "Oh I'm sorry." They grab the right dish. Second course they set down an octopus. Nope not mine. They replace it. Third course they set down some grilled steak thing. Nope not mine. Finally after receiving the right dishes I was disappointed by the quality of food. The mushroom pasta was insanely salty. The mushroom risotto was good but somewhat bland. The grilled vegetable plate had zucchini, squash, pepper, and some asparagus. Pretty darn good! My boyfriend did not enjoy his gumbo or his main dish (I think it was steak?) as he said both were bland. Finally the deserts came out and were pretty good. I was disappointed by the service and only enjoyed 1 of three courses... Keep in mind I had NO IDEA how much we was paying for this meal. I see the check go down on our table- 300$ for food, $25 for tax, and they ADDED A GRATUITY FOR $65.00!!!!!! What the heck??!?! Who was even getting that gratuity?!?! I had no idea we would spend $400.00 on this! I wouldn't have even spent 120.00$! How on earth is risotto, a tiny portion of pasta and a few slices of grilled vegetables worth $150.00 for me?! I felt like we were completely taken advantage of. Never ever ever again!!!! read more

My husband I went for Valentine's Day last week, and it was an absolute disaster. Another reviewer mentioned the price was $95 per person, but we were charged $150 per person. In addition, a mandatory gratuity of 20% was automatically added to our check. The service was horrendous, the food was terrible, and the overall atmosphere was hectic and disorderly. I sent a lengthy email to the general manager, who only responding by asking for my phone number, but I have yet to hear from him. Our experience at Tony's that night was by far THE worst restaurant experience we have ever had. We arrived a few minutes early for our 9:30 PM reservation, but we were seated immediately in the wine cellar. To start off our evening, it was uncomfortably cold in that room. The table we were seated at was hit directly by the air conditioning vents. We asked to be moved to another table, and our "server" (I am using that term very loosely since we received absolutely no real service that night), said he would have to check with the host staff. We were eventually able to change tables, but it took quite a while of waiting. When we did change tables, the new table had not been set, and the table cloth had a large hole in it. We moved our own glasses of water with us, but our silverware and plates were not moved for a while. Someone stopped by our table to ask if everything was all right, as he had heard we had a problem. We mentioned that the room was uncomfortably cold, and he offered to bring us a drink for the trouble. My husband accepted his offer, but we ended up being charged for the drink anyway. During our first 45 minutes of being seated, we were only served with water. We asked for a wine list four different times, from two different people. The same thing happened with the cocktail menu. We did receive a small bread basket at about 10:15 PM but no butter. I asked for butter from four different people but finally received it at about 10:45 PM, more than an hour after we had already been seated. We did not even receive menus until about 10:30 PM. We were "served" by more than three different people that evening, and by the end of the night, we had no idea who our actual server was supposed to be. All of the service staff we encountered was brash, rude, impatient, unhelpful, unprofessional, and inattentive. We were not offered drink refills throughout our visit, and when it came to ordering our meal, we were offered no assistance or explanations on the menu, even after asking questions. The gentleman who took my order was not even looking at our table, let alone my face, when I was placing my order. He was paying attention to something else that was happening a few tables away and had to ask me to repeat my order twice before he actually wrote it down. Now, onto the food quality, which was another major disappointment of our visit. All of our dishes were served at a poor temperature, with the exception of the salad my husband ordered. For our first course, I ordered the squash ravioli while my husband ordered the tortellini. Both were served lukewarm, making them terribly unappetizing. For the second course, I ordered the lobster bisque, and my husband ordered the salad. The lobster bisque was also served only lukewarm, and it had been sitting in the bowl for such a long time prior to being served that there was a caked layer on top of the soup, making it completely inedible. My husband's salad looked like a mess of ingredients with a completely unpleasant appearance. For our main course, my husband ordered the truffled filet, and I ordered the braised short ribs. My husband had requested his steak to be prepared medium well, but it was more like medium rare. He could not eat the steak because it was so undercooked. The asparagus that was served with the steak had been peeled at the stalk, where it should have been cut off, so it also had an unattractive appearance. The asparagus was simply steamed and had absolutely no flavor. As soon as my dish was placed in front of me, an awful smell rose from the short ribs dish. This was by far the most unappetizing dish of the evening. My husband was not even willing to have a taste of my dish. We also ordered a side of the truffled macaroni and cheese, but the pasta was completely undercooked and still far too chewy to enjoy. The truffles tasted "off", and this dish was not good, either. We hardly touched any of our dishes because of the terrible quality and taste, but none of the service staff took notice of this. Not once did anybody ask if we were enjoying our meal. Never again will we return to Tony's restaurant, let alone for a special occasion. We had a much better experience at Capital Grille and Eddie V's, so we'll continue to go there. read more

Service is great. But the food is bland and portions are small. For being a high end restaurant with high dollar prices, I left feeling unsatisfied. read more

Great italian restaurant in the Greenway area! Their bread starter basket is so good!

This is THE ultimate fine-dining experience in Houston! The waitstaff is impeccable and tends to your every need! The Greenberg salad is a unique tower of crabmeat and avocado and cleanses your palate for the Stuffed Truffled Filet of Beef!! Don't forget to complete your meal with one of their famous soufflés- the mile-high Grand Marnier soufflé is must! read more

Tony's is one of my favorite restaurants. I had not tried it before this year, but now I've been back several times, and it consistently delivers delicious food that is so different from anywhere else! My favorite starter is the white truffle souffle because how could I not love a dish that combines two of my absolute favorites: truffles and shuffle?! For my entree, I either share the roasted duck for two or get one of the fabulous handmade pastas. Don't miss the side dishes, which are listed in tiny print at the bottom of the menu! The truffled mac and cheese and brussels sprouts are both fantastic! The souffle options are incredible, and the Bananas Fosters souffle is so good that it's hard not to make myself sick off of it! Tony's definitely gets 5 stars and an A+ rating from me! read more

My boyfriend took me to Tony's for the first time last night for my Birthday, and it was perfect. The service was outstanding, and the food amazing. We started with the Surf & Turf Tartar - slightly seared scallops and raw beef with capers. I normally do not like capers, but here they worked so well I didn't mind. I had been planning to order the Akaushi filet, but they sold out (the only disappointment of the night). So, our waiter also brought us the Kona Kampachi, on the house. It was some of the best yellowfin tuna I've ever tasted, with a sprinkling of caviar and oil. Next, I ordered the Boston Salad and my boyfriend had the Barrata (prosciutto & honey). The salad wasn't too unique, but still very tasty. The honey and prosciutto in the Barrata were extremely good... but the cheese (some variation of a mozzarella) was a little plain. For our main course, I had the Akaushi sirloin, which was as delicious as you might expect a $100 steak to be, and my boyfriend ordered the veal chop off the night's dinner specials menu. The veal was tender and the Cabernet reduction and morels complemented the meat perfectly. We shared a side of macaroni & cheese with truffles... also delicious if you like the flavor of truffles. We had ordered the chocolate souffle for dessert, and they also brought me pavlova with fresh berries because it was my birthday. The souffle was incredible and impressive, but, despite being a huge chocolate fan, I think I actually enjoyed the pavlova more! For the quality and quantity of the food and the top-notch service, the price really wasn't too bad. And, the experience made for a very memorable birthday night. read more

This was one of the absolute best dining experiences I have ever had. The service was incredible, they really know how to cater to their customers (and they should considering the price). The restaurant was beautifully decorated with modern art. The food was amazing. While the portions are very small, the dishes were masterpieces. Balanced flavors and gorgeous presentations. The lamb I ordered was perfect. The entrees don't really come with sides though, so you might want to order appetizer/salad/additional sides. The souffle for dessert was also amazing. Nothing but good things. I'll definitely be back for my next special occasion. read more

We went to Tony's for a business lunch last week. While I tend to like the way Tony does most things culinary, I was extremely impressed with the bowl of chili (of all things) I had there. When a restaurant of this calibre offers a Texas staple like chili and stays true to the Vallones' Texas roots, but with serious "white table cloth" service... that's where I can take my business prospects and clients from Mexico to Chicago with pride. Too bad the chili's not on the menu year-round, though. read more

Very disappointed with the sloppy service and below average food. Two of our guests had lobster bisque and ended up with severe diarrhea. Two of us had snapper and it was over cooked and dry. The coffee was cold and not freshly brewed. read more

We went to Tony's for the Tasting Menu. When you arrive you encounter a beautiful restaurant with a sophisticated look, yet sophistication was lacking in other aspects we find important (service, food quality). We had reservations and were quickly seated. In other restaurants the Tasting Menu involves a rich experience in which timing and narrative are combined gracefully. Not here. Our Maitre was a young man that seemed to have no time for anything: plate after plate arrived at the table (with the paired wine) and we received close to no explanation on what we were being served. He seemed extremely busy and overwhelmed. We had: steak tartar (good, about a tablespoon), noquis with crab (good, but only one noqui per plate), fish (very dry, small portion), lamb (average, only one chop) and desert (chocolate souffle.... very disappointing: tasted like raw brownie batter). The wine selection seemed appropriate, but only includes wines from California. We had to ask for bread 4 times to get it. Dishes were brought but sometimes no silverware was provided... In short: service was poor, food was mediocre. If you are going to spend close to $300 on a dinner for two, go elsewhere. read more

Took my wife for mothers day. Her Salmon was undercooked. (when corrected it was very good) the food took forever to come on every course. my daughters sides came out and they forgot to bring her entrée. straight up forgot. then when we let them know it took 20 mins. the whole deal took so long that we weren't able to eat dessert we had to take it to-go. one staff member did try hard to fix things but the rest of the staff wasn't helping. unnecessarily expensive brunch, my wife on mothers day left in a horrible mood and I was still forced into a $60 tip. the money isn't the issue and my wife didn't want me to "make a scene" by calling up the manager and she was already in a bad mood so I just paid and left. good food, amazingly bad service. very disappointed. we had never been and I was hoping for a nice treat for my wife on mothers day. mission failed. read more

What a huge disappointment! I took my mom here for Mother's Day after reading all the great reviews on Yelp. I drive a bright yellow car and I couldn't understand why the hostess asked me if I'll need them to call me a cab when I'm ready to leave. When I gave her a puzzled look, she glanced outside and realized I didn't arrive in a taxi!!! She apologized, but that was a bit insulting. I may not drive up in a silver or black or white luxury car like most of the cars parked outside, but I don't think I should be judged so quickly. The food was way overpriced for the quality of the entrees. I can go to Max & Julie's down the street and get amazing French food for a fraction of the price. Tony Vallone claims his background is French cooking and he combines it with Italian, but he seriously doesn't know what he's doing. Now I understand why this so-called amazing restaurant had to release a Google offer. This is the only way people would pay a ridiculous amount of money for food that's just ok. read more

I got tricked into going here on a double date. The food was wonderful almost good enough to make me forget what we'd paid, but lets start from the beginning. The Host said the place required jackets over the phone yet when we got there we saw that quite a few people not playing by the rules, but you never want to be "that guy". Our table wasn't ready so we had two rounds at the bar where we met a refreshingly talented bartender who actually deserved his tip. He even made the girls a free drink that they actually liked. Our waiter was on point, very attentive, in fact everyone was, the manager even checked in. They shared the duck and we shared the risotto with truffles. We had a bottle of wine and Tony's signature strawberry dessert. As i said before everything was just wonderful. I'd give this place 5 stars if the night had cost less than half a grand. read more

Absolutely terrible service. We had ordered in a normal time frame, and at 2.5 hours walked out after having failed to be served. We were not the only party leaving with the same issue, though we were the most civil about it. If you have the prices and ambience of a fine dining, have the service to back it up. Simple stuff, incredibly disappointing that a top 10 restaurant in Houston would do so poorly on a Saturday night. If the management does something to address this shortfall I will update this review, but not until then. read more

The food was good but be aware the menu price doesn't match the final price. We ordered two pasta dishes that said $16 on the menu but it come out to be $26 each when the bill came. The waiter/manager was extremely rude. NOT FRIENDLY. Can get better service at Chick Fila! read more

Love Tony's for special occassions!! I've been about 3 times since they moved to their new location and I've always had a great experience with the food, service and the ambiance. It's a beautiful restaurant. I wouldn't necessarily call it romantic for some reason but its certainly in my top 10 restaurant list which includes Tony Dankos in San Francisco. I'm proud to have a restaurant of this caliber in Houston. The last thing I had was their Seabass which was amazing. It's definitely expensive but they treat you very well. read more

HRW service and food quality was poor. Didn't get bread refill or even enough bread for the table to begin with for each person to have a piece. Food tasted very mediocre. Got the lamb pasta starter, the short rib, and the Cannoli cake. The cannoli cake was by far the worst dessert I've ever had at a restaurant. Felt sick after eating it. There was this odd sickening flavoring that was floral and not in any normal cannoli I have had. read more

Meal was good..service not so good.. Was charged extra $750 for a $280 meal ..WTF?!?!?! Unacceptable mistake for an establishment of this magnitude.. Very disappointed!!! read more

We decided to try Tony's because of its longtime reputation for great food and service, and in addition the allure of the great affordable menu offered for restaurant week. We are frequent diners, but enjoy a more casual atmosphere, but what the heck...bad decision!!! We rounded up a couple of willing friends, and experienced the worst service ever in a Houston restaurant. Was it because we were Prix Fixe diners and not worth the effort? Who knows. Here are the problems we experienced: 1. Valet parking a zoo- cars coming from all directions, and a long time to even get into the "circle", with people dodging cars and cars dodging people 2. A person with poor language skills that obviously didn't know what a sweet martini was kept asking us if we wanted our pomegranate martini with ice?? olives?? hello.... 3. Had to ask for menus after sitting for 45 minutes, and guess what- they weren't the prix fixe menus 4. Had to ask for bread and butter 5 times (because we were starving)- finally my husband got up and went to someone who might have been the maitre d', and they brought some different bread that wasn't what we were originally served 5. Finally begged a wine list, and 20 minutes later we did receive a bottle of wine 6. After expressing dismay to anyone who would listen, we were offered an appetizer 7. The food was outstanding when it finally arrived- and though we were absolutely full, I guess they were still feeling a little guilty for treating us like unwanted step-children and brought 2 more desserts which we really didn't want or need We will not ever recommend or go back to Tony's. How sad...we can well afford to dine there, but good food can never make up for the shoddy "tag team" waitstaff setup there. Maybe they have enough regulars to just blow the newcomers off...spend your $$$$ somewhere else. read more

Decided to try Tony's again after a long absence. We went for dinner on a weeknight and was disappointed by the food and service, particularly the service. We could not understand the waiter who had a thick accent and wasn't very attentive. The dishes were fair to good, the sauce and lump crab atop the snapper was delicious and the sides were good, but the halibut was served barely warm and edible. Took forever for the desserts to arrive and the waiter plopped an awful pink birthday cotton candy in front of me even though I was not the birthday person. Wouldn't have hurt him to ask whose bday it was and at least say" happy birthday". Interestingly, the staff pulled the chairs for the men at the table but not the women!!?? I also noticed many of the other male diners did not have jackets on. Not the fancy restaurant with the top notch service it used to be. read more

Sorry, but I just can't climb on the 5 star bandwagon. I'm really not a big review writer, but I just had to get in the opinion of the minority. Don't get me wrong, an evening at Tony's is a memorable experience and a good way to impress a date or clients, but I just don't think it's worth the money. I will say the service is the best I've had in Houston (which isn't saying much since I've found the service at most upscale Houston eateries to be sub par). It's also a place you can go and feel comfortable wearing a jacket, so if you want to dress up it's a good choice. My last visit I had the Ribbons and Squares appetizer and my date had the Agnolotti. Both were OK, but the portions were tiny. I had the stuffed truffle filet and can't remember what date had (guess it wasn't memorable!). Again, good, but nothing that rang our bell. We had raspberry souffle' for dessert and it was a very generous portion, but I've had much better (anyone remember The Rivoli? Now THAT was a souffle"!) Would I go back? Sure, on the good old expense account to impress a client, but there are plenty of other places in town I'd pick to take a date and spend my own money. Peace out homies!! read more

Horrible food and service. Waste of time coming here. There are better option in Houston for real Italian food and steaks. But this restaurant falls short in its bid to seem like genuine Italian food let alone a steak house. read more

This is way overdue but It was our anniversary. After taking in a show, we had a wonderful dinner at "Tony's on 09/2015. I'm a native of Brooklyn, NY so my taste can be choosy. It is a very upscale restaurant in Houston. The kind that caters to very classy people. So my wife fit in perfectly and I fit in like a gorilla in a suit. They apparently served multiple presidents before and some of them may have actually been good ones too! Honestly I never felt so pampered. I've been to upscale places before but topped them all. I was talking to my wife at the table. I was telling her a story about work and I wouldn't stop talking. Then my wife told to me to be quiet because I noticed at the corner of my eye the waiters were standing behind me with the menu "patiently" waiting for me to finish talking, waiting for a break in my conversation so they could hand us the menu. It seemed like they were standing there for a good couple of minutes just waiting for us to stop talking. Good thing our 5 year old wasn't there or they'd still be there waiting for him to stop. We had a couple of waiters and a captain. I never had a captain. But apparently he's the guy who makes sure everything is served to your liking, explains everything and hovers over us helping the waiters, etc. He's like the "capo" of the Italian restaurant in our designated area. I also suspect that he is there to make sure that if we don't pay, he "makes us an offer we can't refuse". You don't mess with the capo! Throughout the night, my glass of water was never less than half empty. I tried! I wanted to challenge these people. But I couldn't get it half empty! Because if it ever dared to get half empty a waiter ran up and filled it without me asking. When meal came, the waiters brought the meal, served it to us, took the side dishes and began putting some of the sides right onto our plates for us. One by one. God forbid I have to do this myself! The food (ribeye steak, lambchops, truffles,etc) was cooked to perfection! Best I ever had. For dessert we had Grand Marnier Soufflé. The flavor wasn't on the menu. Captain just said, "choose the flavor." I'm thinking (chocolate, strawberry, vanilla). My experience with flavor comes from Breyers ice cream. She's like... um... we shall have "Grand Marnier Souffle" And she said it with authority. So I knew it must be good. And I said "Oh yes lovey, I shall have that same thing." I didn't use the bathroom facilities. My wife did. She says that every stall in the bathroom has it's own personal sink for each individual person. She did say that the water pressure was a bit low for the individual sinks so for that I have to say... "This is disgraceful. I have never been so insulted in my entire life! And you call yourself a restaurant!" In conclusion , because the water pressure was a little low in the individual sinks unfortunately, that kind of ruined the evening for us at the end. And because of that, my wife and I will NOT be coming back to this restaurant anytime soon. MAYBE we'll come back for some special occasion or have dinner from time to time. But this low water pressure will ensure that we will NOT be regular visitors. The 320.00 dollar bill is not a key factor in this decision at all. It's the water pressure. I swear. Tony really outdid himself. I have eaten at many fine restaurants in NY and Houston. (McDonalds, Wendy's, KFC). No seriously. I've eaten at fine French, Italian, Turkish and various Ethnic cuisines, mid range and high range. And Tony's very much impressed me not only with their top notch service but excellent food. Truffles were great. I highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful time, and now that we've moved practically across the street we're now in walking distance. We'll definitely be back. https://rudeattitude.wordpress.com/2018/07/28/tonys-restaurant-in-houston/ read more

Always good, large menu I prefer the fajitas enchiladas with sauce, cold beer full bar, good Rita's quick service, valet parking. My family owns more than 20 restaurants in town this is one of my favorite read more

OK. this place is definitely for special occasions. jacket required. BUT well worth dressin up and droppin the cash. this place serves some of the most incredible food that has ever landed in my tummy. i've been there three times. their truffled filet is incredible. i also had a phenomenal seared bluefin tuna dish. their souffles are also incredible. this is not a place to pass up if you feel like splurging a bit on yourself and someone special. read more

Tony's is one of my favorite Houston restaurants! Its a great place to celebrate special occasions. I've been there a couple times and all have been memorable dinning experiences. The service and food are superb!! read more

maybe I'm just too spoiled with good foods but I wasn't really impressed with this expensive dinner.. Nice place, but service could be better. Is it just me or is it strange that u HAVE TO ASK for a menu?? They sat us down, took our drinks order, n just left us to sit there. I was so confused, am I in a different world of dining where u don't get a menu until u ask for it? about 10-15 minutes later when the waiter see us all lost, he finally asked if we're ready for the menu.. this have never happened to me before, is it bcuz i've never been to a "fine" establishment like this? very doubtfully, since fine dining is my life! Also, I didn't like the fact that u HAVE TO ASK for bread or else, YOU DON'T GET IT. They have different kinds of crackers n butter on the table when u arrive but I really love bread.. and I didn't know they offered bread until I see the table next to us get some from the servers. The bread was soooo soft n good but it's like bread was a well kept secret for their regulars or something! FOOD WAS VERY SLOW! we got there around 7:30, ordered as soon as we got the menu, waited sooooo long for each tiny plate to arrive. I guess we r the type that likes to eat fast, and I ALWAYS order at least 6 things whenever I go eat anywhere bcuz i like variety.. but it was VERY slow in between courses.. we didn't finish until 10! Giving them 2 stars bcuz they did have the BEST ravioli ever! The pasta was perfectly chewy n soft n the sauce was rich, buttery n aromatic! I will come back for the pasta.. The white truffle soufflé was good but TOO cheesy with a strange gamy taste that I'm sensitive to, maybe it was the cheese that they used. My truffles cravings was satisfied, I was still burping up truffles 5hrs later but that's not necessarily a good thing.. The dessert in the egg with white truffles was amazing! I ordered 7 dishes (lamb chops, white truffle soufflé, foie gras, tuna medallions, ravioli, white truffle egg dessert, oysters) I only liked the ravioli and the dessert thing, for the first time in my husband's life, he couldn't even finish his foie gras even though it costed $37, and I couldn't finish the truffle souffle that costed $40, such a fail for almost $300 worth of food. read more

OMG how freaking cheesy is this place. The decor is so retro and outdated, the waiters are overly ingratiating and the food is just ok. I had their special recipe pasta marinara ($28!) and it wasn't anything I can't make at home. Hell can I at least get some hot bread at a restaurant that charges $30 for basic pasta marinara!? This restaurant is retarded and a waste of money. read more

First of all, parking is valet only, and attire is business. The first thing you notice here besides the beautiful space is the amazing service. They'll take your jacket, and they'll treat you like family. The food is the best Italian in Houston after DaMarco. They use fresh ingredients, and it shows. The food is inventive, the flavors are clean, and the dishes are well-portioned. If you're one of those foodies who isn't willing to shell out a whole lot of cash, one of the best fine dining deals in Houston is their express lunch. If you're going there for the first time, don't be surprised if you get an amuse bouche if you're having dinner. Dinner often ends with strawberries and meringues on a lovely metal tree. If you go on your birthday, there's cotton candy. Unfortunately, it comes with a large price tag. You get what you pay for. read more

Tony's is the type of place where your glass is never empty and empty plates never are left on the table for long. The services at Tony's is amazing, the best example was the fact that the wine manager came to our table and helped us pick a bottles of wine. The food here was very good, we enjoyed every course. However, some things did disappoint (my veal was a little too tough). The souffle for desert was amazing and cooked to perfection. However, this is not the type of place for a cheap meal. Enjoy! read more

It's beautiful inside. I vaguely remember the food, it was delicious but I could not get past the salt that my sashimi was placed upon. I have to try this place again, since there are sooo many rave reviews. read more

I've come here twice for a business luncheon and I LOVED the food. I hate salads but this place makes one hell of salad. The entrees are always delicious and the dessert is beyond this world. For someone who doesnt like chocolate cake, I was amazed by how light but amazing the chocolate cake is here. The cheesecake is a must try as well. read more

Hey, it's Tony's. The service is excellent, the food is great, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. In fact, I think it's reputation may hurt it - I had been afraid to go here for years because I was afraid of the cost, but it really isn't bad. It's not cheap, but it isn't outrageous either. And there are so few places in Houston who have adopted the excellent custom of amuse bouche. I just love that! read more

This place never fails me. Great service, great food, and ambiance. What more do I need to say? Come here for a date night, take your family out for a nice dinner, or gather a bunch of friends/coworkers and check it out for yourself. read more

See all

What a wonderful anniversary dinner! Thank you to all the staff at Tony's for making it such a special night. First off they do have a dress code and you have to be up for a fancy dinner. It is truly one of Houston's best and oldest Resturant's and while it is pricey it is not any more expensive than any other Resturant of this caliber. The wine suggestions were spot on and the chocolate soufflé was incredible. read more

Low expectations were met. This classic Houston restaurant's time has passed. Service was excellent. Food, mediocre. I ordered the red fish topped with crab. Crab was fine, fish was dry with little in the way of flavor. My wife ordered the branzino and daughter ordered the sole. Muscles were adequate. The branzino was good. When waiter noticed I did not eat hardly any of my fish, he removed the plate and brought me a branzino. read more

Ok ok ok talked my boss into taking a group of 7 to celebrate a great 2014 at Tony's. It was unanimous- we were all sadly dissappointed. Every entree was underwhelming. Service was not unlike The House of Pies-efficient but not real friendly. The whole place looked tired. Even the china looked like it has been in service since the 80's. Come on Tony if your going to cling to the label of Houstons premier dining experience its time to invest in a renovation of both menu and venue. read more

I want to start off by saying that Tonys used to be one of the best restaurants in Houston; last week our office went as far as renting out the wine room for a private dinner. Big mistake choosing Tonys. There is a big reason this restaurant in the past few years is becoming regulated to an after thought of the greenway plaza area. Under seasoned, over priced and under proportioned with a wait staff that just really doesn't know what their serving you or anything more than saying a soufflé will take forty five minutes to prepare. I had hopes that Chef Kate would have elevated this restaurant to more than the sad state it currently resides. The 55 day aged strip taste like failure. read more

My husband and I went to Tony's the night we got engaged, and just celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary there last night. The customer service is some of the best I've ever had! The food is excellent, and they can pretty much make whatever you ask of them. This has been my husband's favorite restaurant in the Houston area for years, and after having their filet last night, I would have to say it became mine too. I would give Tony's 10 stars if I could. Job well done! read more
