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 butternut squash and the lemon pasta dishes were out of this world and rival anything I’ve had in Italy. Our servers were so attentive, and when chef McClean visited our table, it really made the birthday girl feel special. Fantastic and creative bar bites also hit the spot!

    Tony’s is one of Houston’s enduring great restaurants. In its early years, Tony’s was THE premier restaurant in a city that wasn’t known for its cuisine. Now Houston is a foodie city; one of the best in the United States. Tony’s has withstood the test of time and remains one of the very best around.
