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.

Awesome Food at Reasonable Prices As a regular visitor to Auckland we have walked past this place on many occasions and not given it a second look. This time we decided to try it and we were absolutely blown away! The steaks are juicy and cooked to perfection, the seafood is awesome and the desert we had was truly to die for! Service was outstanding and the ambience was really nice. Our server Amy was polite, obliging and couldn’t do enough for us despite being totally run off her feet. The restaurant was totally packed which says a lot. For 2 people we had an entree each, main each, 4 oysters, 4 drinks in total and one shared desert. Best part was all of that came to a total of just under $200AUD, which you would be paying double that for similar back in Australia. I would highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

Another Nice Evening at Tonys Once again another nice evening at Tonys - good food, atmosphere and friendly staff. Always busy so book ahead and busy for good reasons. Nice spot next door - The Meeting Room - good for a pre Tony's drink.
