For over 50 years, Tony’s has been Houston’s pinnacle of fine dining. Under Donna Vallone's leadership, Chef Kate McLean brings a vibrant twist, blending live-action presentations with meticulous attention to detail. The menu features house-made pasta, seasonal ingredients, and signature dishes like Flaming Salt Crust Snapper and the indulgent Battle Axe Course. Alongside caviar and tasting menus, Kate’s creations merge her free spirit with the formal tradition instilled by her mentor, Tony Vallone. A Houston native, Kate became Tony’s first female Executive Chef in 2013. After a brief hiatus exploring writing and co-hosting a podcast, she returned in 2022 as Executive Chef and Partner, continuing Tony’s legacy. Located near Greenway Plaza and The Galleria, Tony’s remains the destination for upscale dining, offering a curated spirits list, extensive wine selection, and unforgettable experiences.

    The service and food was excellent. It was nice to have a piano player there, and you could still hold a conversation well without the music being too loud. Everything was perfect.

    Attended second seating on New Year's Eve and had a really good experience. A bit chaotic when everyone was being seated at the same time and during the initial drink order process, but service recovered quickly and the rest of the evening was perfect. Food was good, although nothing stood out as exceptional (again they were serving a few hundred diners at the same time like a wedding). The dessert course was disappointing. The band was great and dancing was fun as were the party favors and champagne toast. All in all we would attend similar event again.

    Too loud for conversation. Wine is overpriced. Always nice but tone it down so we can enjoy
