Great food. Waiters were not intrusive. Wine list expansive. Food variety broad. Owner greeting was nice touch. Maybe manager greeting vs owner.

Let me start by saying the service more than attentive, it was experience changing. Our friend..(seemingly more appropriate than waiter) valentin, recommended great dishes, conversed with us in a very warm and welcoming manner. The food was excellent, the atmosphere engrossing, and the subversive experience was palpable. My wife’s birthday felt like a truly special occasion not just to us but to them. Thank you, you will see us again.

Awesome Anniversary dinner. Tony's exudes timeless elegance. The dining room is stylish, warm and inviting. Lighting fit the mood. Food was creative and delicious. Service was A+ attentive without being overbearing. And, to top it all off, Louie Carrington was playing the piano and crooning out hits from the Great American Songbook. What a perfect vibe! If you are seeking a respite from Tik Tok/Instragram type restaurants, and a return to something sophisticated, discerning, and graceful, this is the place for you.
