Attended the Kamen wine dinner last evening. Really was disappointed with the food. Seems that virtually the same sauce was on everything. Very small portions. Actually left rather hungry after a $275 dinner. The only draw to the wine dinners at Tony's are visiting with the other people attending. What a group of characters! It makes it almost worthwhile even with the lousy food.

Perfect for a date, birthdays, romantic ambiance, great service, the flavor of the food is perfect.

Rated Top 5 Restaurants in America by Esquire Magazine!! – There's a reason why Tony's was named one of the Top 5 Italian Restaurants in America. The food is incredible and the service is the best! I have dined in NYC, LA, Paris and London, and Tony's is in the same league as the world's best. I have tried almost all the dishes and never been disappointed. They aim to please and don't worry if it's not on the menu, they'll make it for you!

Do not waste your time or money! – I remember Tony's being fabulous in the 80's and 90's so we go back for a celebration Birthday dinner for a friend. WHAT HAPPENED TO TONY's????? It was the biggest waste of money! The food was not only "bla" but the portions were so tiny! We had to get the manager (and he was a joke!) to bring our Birthday girl another serving of her fish because it was like the size of a 50 cent piece in the middle of a huge white plate with nothing else on it! My seared tuna was awful. I could have thrown... read more

waste of money – This restaurant is way past its prime. My wife and I had not eaten there in many years and we decided to try it once more to see if it had improved since the last time we were there 5 years ago. Unfortunately, we will not be dining there again. The service was okay but the food was not worth the price. My wife had the filet mignon which had no flavor for $39 and I had two small pieces of veal medallions for $29. The side dishes are all $8 and full of butter. Spend your money at the bar and eat somewhere else... read more

Disgusted – On July 14, 2010 a business associate and I had lunch @ Tony's. We were celebrating my birthday and doing business as well. We had lunch at many 5-star restaurants in Houston but our first time at Tony's. I was so looking forward to this experience. However, we were really disappointed to say the very least. The decor was OK, the service was better, but the meal was the horrifying part. Our lunch started out OK, not superb but OK. After we had our meal, my business associate order champagne and Tony's served us a... read more

Offended – I love to dine at good places, and this was a place I wanted to take some of friends. To my surprise, as the hostess approached us she looked at my friend up and down (he was wearing tennis shoes - a very humble person) and said how can I help you? I told her my name, she looked up the reservation, said hold on a minute and went and talked to I guess, the manager, who looked at us then nodded. The hostess returned, completely ignoring us and just asked the people that entered what name their reservation was under.... read more

confused by the hype – The food is the chief problem here. I have no idea how they could take an admittedly lovely cut of meat, add truffle oil, butter, and veal stock, and make a completely unsavory dish. It was like something out of a grocer's freezer. The little potatoes with it were flavorful but cold. I had some mushrooms, and I love mushrooms--usually. These just didn't taste good and seemed to involve tons of butter. I wouldn't seek out this food at any price, let alone the exorbitant rates charged. The service was a ... read more

Excellent muscles; wish their waitstaff used more of them... – My boyfriend and I were both servers and medium to high end restaurants, and must say that we left disappointed about the level of service we received. Normally I wouldn't care, but at such a high end place, it is worth documenting. Instead of talking about valentine's (2009), or how amazing the food was, our conversation was dominated by our headwaits menial service. I know reading this review won't stop you from going there (didn't stop us either), but what oth... read more
