So, my kid's name is Tony... They treated him like a literal celebrity the whole time we were here. Not only that, they are incredibly reasonably priced for a restaurant on the pier which is historically pricy. We were lucky enough to sit right next to the window, and it opened up to the most glorious view of Redondo Beach Pier. Paired with the fresh seafood and good drinks, what more could you want from a beach restaurant? Literally Iconic.

Mai Tai
Lorna K.

We came to Tony's on the Pier to celebrate an award I had received, and for a much needed date night with my husband. This place has been here for decades! We hadn't been back here for over ten years. The service was outstanding, the view of the ocean was magnificent, the food was amazing! A great place for a seafood dinner with a very reasonable price! We started with their famous Mai Tai that comes in a souvenir glass, followed by clams casino appetizers. I had the twin lobster tails with a baked potato, and my husband had the crab stuffed shrimp. Each dinner comes with soup and salad. I had the clam chowder, and my husband had the salmon chowder. Everything we had was cooked to perfection and very tasty! For dessert, we had their version of chocolate mousse, which was the only disappointment of the dinner. The mousse was more like a milk chocolate pudding. Total with tax and tip was about $248.00 (we tip 20%). Considering the amount of food and the type of meal, this was very reasonable which included cocktails and dessert. We couldn't finish the main course, so we now have leftovers for another meal. Win-win!!!!

My friends and I wanted to grab some drinks while visiting Redondo Beach Pier. Tony's has a bar on the upper level second floor. We wanted to sit on the lower level right next to the open windows, but was told couldn't sit there unless you order food. It wasn't busy thought maybe server let it slide. Nope! We ended going upstairs instead. Really quiet with good views of the pier and ocean. I ordered a mai tai while my friends were sipping on martinis. Bartender took care of us with his generous heavy hands. Drinks were strong, but we weren't complaining. We really enjoyed our cocktails! It was nice to sit down spending some quality time together. Before we left, the bartender kindly gave me a souvenir glassware at no additional cost. Truly a highlight of my visit.

Onion rings with ranch and ketchup
Shannon W.

A quiet Tuesday at Tony's. Service was fast and approachable, as usual. We ordered the onion rings, and just like the waitress promised, they were really good. I'd definitely order them again. I'm realizing I've probably been undervaluing their small bites and should branch out more often to try additional items.

Cheesy bread - Yum!
Cynthia C.

I love coming to Tony's. Last time we were here we specifically came on a storm surge day in December to watch the waves crash against the pilings of the pier and enjoy some sunset Mai Tais in the signature Tony's glasses. We had dinner that night and it was really delicious. This visit was just after lunch. We were looking for a drink and a nibble and Tony's staff was happy to oblige. Upon ordering MaiTais, we were informed that the signature, comp take home glasses were currently out of stock. Not a problem, we already have a collection. Hubs chose cheesy garlic bread and I was excited to try the calamari. MAN! Lightest and best calamari I have EVER had! And Hubs' bread was also YUM! Service is always great! Attentive, but respectful, understanding this special spot that begs guests to slow down and cast a memory or two back. 70s Yatch Rock plays perfectly in the background and the soul exhales. Time passes too quickly at Tony's but, on the upside, we get to return that much sooner. Cheers! "CC"

Eeek clam chowder
Melissa F.

WOW where do I even start. Don't eat here. How about that. The Chef has most definitely given up. The service was bullSh*t. "So you're not ordering entrees?" Who says that?! We just ordered an appetizer and salad calm tf down. I wanted to leave in that moment and we should have. The fried zucchini tasted like coconut shrimp. My salad came out wrong. I got the feeling he ordered me the more expensive one thinking he could get away with it. It was disgusting for a $33 crab Louie. I requested for my original salad. When that came out, there shrimp were water logged from being previously frozen. The baby corn, olives AND beats ALL had to spit out. The server never asked how ANYTHING was. He dropped food and ran away. Ultimately I understand now why. He is serving shit food and if he isn't present at the table he doesn't have to deal with food being rotten. The chowder tasted like grainy potato soup with slimy clams. YOU COULD LITERALLY BUY BETTER CHOWDER IN A CAN. This was like sludge from a huge bucket that had been sitting in the depths of a walk-in for WEEKS. Then the combination plate. Barf. Dry ass rice disguised in butter. I cannot believe they can get away with serving this food. Not a single plate of food was eaten. The server couldn't care less that we were NOT eating our food. His busser was the one filling our drinks. And when they removed our plates NO ONE ASKED US WHY NOTHING WAS EATEN. Two things I'm grateful for, 1st that we DID NOT order the oysters and 2nd for the busser! WE WILL NEVER BE BACK.

This place used to be great. Fire chiefs used to be 8.50-9.25 but now they charge $17.25 for each. That is highway robbery

OLD TONY - REDONDO BEACH PIER
TrueVoice R.

I've been to thousands of beachside restaurants around the world -- but this one stands out like no other! They serve 101% fresh seafood -- you can literally taste the ocean in every bite. Their Alaskan King Crab made me feel like I was teleported straight to Alaska -- the freshness is simply unmatched! I'd honestly pay double for this kind of quality because it's that rare. The Seafood Pasta Alfredo tasted like heaven -- not even a 5-star seafood restaurant could compete. The Calamares? So fresh it's unbelievable! And the warm, freshly baked bread with butter straight from the oven was the perfect start. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, their Mai Tai sealed the deal -- absolute perfection in a glass. Every single detail was flawless. The restaurant's unique ocean-themed vibe makes you feel the sea's energy without even seeing the water.

The food is FRESH, perfectly spiced, and the quality is what keeps you coming back…read more It feels like I stepped into a restaurant in Nayarite, Mexico with the music, atmosphere, and smells of fresh mariscos! The service is stellar. Staff is attentive and accommodating. Shout out to Angie, the chef who steps out of the kitchen and greets her guests. Location is ideal as parking is plentiful. My favorite is the Snook, pics included. The ceviche is stellar as well as the marlin tacos which is brought straight from Mexico. Highly recommended!

My wife is originally from South Africa, and neither of us had been able to enjoy "snook" since our last trip back to her hometown several years ago. It is virtually impossible to find anywhere near our home in Las Vegas, so while visiting the coast, I set out on a mission to track it down as a surprise for her. Once I realized the same prized fish is known as robalo in Mexican cuisine, all roads pointed straight to Coni'Seafood. We ordered the signature Pescado Zarandeado. While it takes about 30 minutes to prepare, it is worth every single second of the wait. The fish was expertly grilled over an open flame, boasting a fantastic charred crust infused with house spices while keeping the meat succulent and naturally sweet. It arrived beautifully accompanied by caramelized grilled onions, crisp sliced red onions, fresh cucumbers, juicy limes, warm corn tortillas, and a house green salsa that hit just above medium heat with the perfect bright zing. As with any authentic whole-grilled fish, there were a few small bones to watch out for, but nothing a seasoned seafood lover can't easily navigate. To round out the meal, the Pacifico micheladas were mixed to perfection. The atmosphere was delightfully relaxing, filled with fresh ocean air and a pleasant afternoon breeze drifting through. What truly elevated the afternoon, though, was the hospitality. Our server and bartender provided warm, attentive, and personal care from start to finish. They were also wonderfully accommodating to our dog right away, even before knowing she was a service dog--a true testament to genuine, heartfelt hospitality. We both walked away completely happy and thoroughly impressed. If you are anywhere near Hermosa Beach or their other Los Angeles locations, treat yourself to a visit. It comes with our highest recommendation.

If you're in Hermosa Beach and craving some BOMB Mexican food and a phenomenal margarita, look no…read morefurther!!! Everything about this spot was incredible! We started with the guacamole, and it was absolute perfection. My partner ordered a crispy short rib taco, chicken enchilada, and chile relleno, and I swear his eyes rolled back with every bite. I went with the lobster and shrimp stuffed poblano, and I savored every single bite. SO GOOD!!! We also enjoyed two specialty cocktails, and our entire bill came out to around $100! The portions were incredibly generous, so we both left with plenty of leftovers, which made it an even better value. But what truly makes or breaks a restaurant experience for me is the service, and this is where they really went above and beyond. Our server, Peter, was an absolute GEM! He was genuinely kind, attentive, personable, and full of fantastic recommendations. He suggested adding mezcal to my pineapple serrano cilantro margarita with a Tajín rim, and WOW. What a phenomenal combination! You can have incredible food and drinks, but exceptional hospitality is what makes an experience memorable and keeps people coming back. Peter absolutely delivered on that, and I hope the restaurant knows what a wonderful asset he is to their team. I truly cannot recommend this place enough! Amazing food, delicious cocktails, generous portions, great value, and hospitality that makes you feel genuinely taken care of. If you're planning to visit, call ahead for a reservation and ask to be seated in Peter's section. You won't regret it!

HOLY BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!!!!…read more the weekday lunch/happy hour specials were so good and affordable PLUS you get to sit right by the ocean pretty good fish and chips It is a self-service establishment, but it's not a big deal because this restaurant is so well thought out. They have paper mats just in case you make a mess, and all utensils and condiments are laid out near the eating area. Overall would come back and recommend, especially for older family members.

It was Quality seafood's annual Lobsterfest so we ordered from their advertised menu and oysters. A small lobster bisque was $10 and was warm at best and didn't taste good. We ordered the T.J's lobster pasta for $22 which was okay. We added the bisque soup to the pasta to make the soup edible and add more sauce to the pasta. The garlic bread is a generous portion, but average. The oysters were below average for me, but at least we didn't get sick from them. As for the service, we wanted to try some items from their happy hour menu which was until 5pm. The people in front of us took a bit longer and by the time it was our turn, it was 5:01pm. The cashier asked the lady in charge who said "no" since it was after 5pm, even though we were in line beforehand. As for the ambiance, there's an upper and lower level for dining tables which you have to clean yourself since it's concrete. I really wished I had some anti-bacterial wipes, but settled for extra napkins.

2 Stars -- Apparently, Hospitality Wasn't on the Menu…read more I'm giving two stars because I've eaten here many times, and the food has always been fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, the hospitality on this visit was anything but. We walked in and noticed several empty seats at the bar. Naturally, we thought we'd sit there. Well, that idea was shut down by the host faster than we could say hello. No problem! We asked about getting a table instead. Apparently, our only available dining option came with a complimentary sunburn. How thoughtful! Nothing pairs better with a nice meal than being roasted alive in the afternoon sun. What made the experience so disappointing wasn't even the seating situation. It was the way we were treated. I've honestly never felt so unwelcome walking into a restaurant where I was planning to spend my money. The entire interaction was awkward, dismissive, and frankly embarrassing. It almost felt like we were inconveniencing the staff simply by showing up. I've been in the restaurant business long enough to know that you can't always accommodate everyone. But making guests feel welcome costs absolutely nothing. The food may be wonderful, but apparently, a warm welcome is harder to come by than a table in the shade. 5 stars for the food. Unfortunately, the hospitality didn't earn a seat at the table.
