A dining experience you'll enjoy. The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious. There were 2 picky eaters in our party and they were silenced by the quality of the food. Great ambience as well which made the food even more tastier. I was really happy to hear lots of Kiwi music being played while we dined, I thought that was a really nice touch. I would highly recommend dining at Tony's, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome Steaks and Seafood Been to this restaurant five times in the last 12 months and have always been happy with the food and service, good old blast from the past menu with awesome Steaks and Seafood dishes, it's not over fussy or pretentious so if you want to relax and just enjoy yourself before a show, it's a great choice, keep up the good work team, thanks again Shon and Trudy

Hidden pearl in the city center I had a really good dining experience when visiting Tony’s. Cosy atmosphere and interior, friendly staff, but most importantly good food! I took the original Tony steak and it was delicious.

Absolutely stunning energies 😍 Kia ora. Couples dine in, first time eating at this place. It was absolutely stunning and the hospitality from the moment we stepped foot in the door. We were 30minutes early, the beautiful lady Krishnah (apologies if spelt incorrectly) guided us to The Meeting Room to enjoy some beverages while we wait. I tell you, we were impressed. The setting, the atmosphere, the energies and the pure beauty. Greeted by awesome staff. We were lucky to meet lovely Carlson and Ashley and shared some laughs outside in the fresh air with our lemon lime bitters. Time flew, Lovely Carlson personally escorted us to our table. We enjoyed learning about the history of Tony's and meeting the GodFathers portraits on the walls. Absolutely stunning. We ordered, the seafood chowder for our entree and The Pacific Steak. Delicious! Also to the lovely waiter Aylah for taking care of us. All round beautiful place, people, energies and most of all, the laughs. We highly recommend. Thank you to the team at Tony's steakhouse for making our meal a memorable one. Ps - apologies if we have spelt the names incorrectly. Ngā mihi nui, Alley and Brody.

Always a great meal at Tony's We enjoyed another delicious meal at Tony's last night. Hard to go past the steak. Recommend making a booking, especially on a Saturday night.
