Food is excellant, service is lacking

by mbs119 at Citysearch

My husband and I recentley visited Tony's for my 30th birthday. This was our 3rd visit. The food was fabulous - but we left dissapointed about the service. We waited for quite a while for them to take our dinner order, we actually had to flag someone down and let them know we were ready to order. Twice they brought us the wrong drinks. We had to request bread and butter. We had to request that they remove the wine glasses from our table. There were 4 of us dining and we ordered 2 desserts. They only brought one of the desserts that we ordered. It was pretty much one bad mistake after another as far as the service goes. I will think twice before I spend $400 plus at dinner for bad service.

Very Sophisticated

by agrenader at Citysearch

I have eaten here a few times for lunch and for dinner and I have never had a bad meal. I particularly enjoyed the halibut . I don't think it has the expensive feel as it did before with the reds and oil paintings but that kind of got old. I do wish however that this place had a more intimate feel to it. The main dining room feels a little too open. It has the exact opposite complaint of the tables having been too close before. I am not sure what I feel about the look of Tony's new restaurant , but I would go back again because I not only had a good meal there but I love the cotton candy in a martini glass touch!

• Pros: Good Food, good cotton candy!
• Cons: A little less intimate feeling and not as romantic than I like

New Tony's Needs Some Fine Tuning

by hughhiggins at Citysearch

Dinner at Tony's was somewhat disappointing. Rolls before dinner had burned bottoms and butter was slow in coming to the table. Red Snapper Milanese style was touted as having peppers but showed up with only a lone sliver. The fish also seemed to have been sauteed in an egg batter which gave it a faint taste of omelette. Grilled tuna arrived very rare despite request for medium rare. Ten minutes later the fish returned cooked to perfection. Truffled potatoes were swimming in oil. Service attentive and friendly. Overall, poor value.

• Pros: Interesting decor, Nice wine list
• Cons: Average food, poor value
