I have been to Tonys 5 times 3times last year and twice this year, have had Dinner and Lunch. This place is excellent the service is friendly and proffessional the restaurant itself is spacious and cool especially in the last hot months we have had.There is a coolness in the air and the space at the tables is great. Being a larger person sometimes restaurant tables and chairs are a bit small but here there is elbow room and still more. The food, is devine the Carpetbag was cooked to perfection and the salads and vegetables are fresh tasty and delicious. The garlic bread is hot and tasty and the soup of the day is pure creamy delight.I dont eat desert so cant comment on that but no doubt like everything else it would be just perfect I am sure.The toilets are clean and smell clean and there is toilet paper After writing this I have decided where we will be eating tonight mmmmm lol

2000hrs. Just returned from dinner, once again great service excellent food.It was quite busy but the waiting staff always checking to see we were taken care of (we had a lovely young tall man tonite). Compliments to you and the chef.

We have dined at Tony’s many times over many years and it was a favourite. Tonight we experienced disappointing food and disappointing service. Fillet mignon was actually raw, only seared on sides. Medium rare had been ordered. The bacon was fatty and undercooked. We were not approached by any waiting staff for service after our meals were served. If we had been, we would have asked for the raw steak to be returned to the kitchen. We waited a long time for the meals to arrive after being ordered, again no sign of any waiting staff in between. When meals were delivered we asked for another glass of wine which took a long time coming. The Maitre’D did not charge us for the steak and was apologetic when we gave feedback when paying. That did help but unfortunately we will not be returning to Tony’s anytime soon.

Hubby and I have been to Tonys a few times now and we love going there. The atmosphere is really nice and relaxed, homely you could say. The meals…man, do not eat anything before going there, they are huge!!!. And they are well priced. I love going here because I like home cooked type meals, I guess you could call it steakhouse/bar food/english pub type meals, and Tonys is all that. I havent tried their desserts yet because I am soo full from the really yummy bread, to my main.

We are going there again next week, and will be going there more regular , so that we can try all the different things on the menu…. so far I have had the lamb shanks….mmmm, and twice now had the burger and chips..and twice now, I have not been able to finish it…its soo huge ha ha. Thank you so much Tonys for always making our trip there so enjoyable!! ♥ ♥

I love Tony’s..always go there, good food, reasonable prices, friendly and comfy atmosphere. GREAT BANOFFEE!

The lamb shanks with mash are my favourite – they give you generous portions and sometimes I can’t finish. A good family restaurant.

An enjoyable informal lovely restaurant. It has been here for many years, and has enjoyable meals and relaxed friendly service. Perfect steak, cooked to perfection as you ask; they seem to find staff who enjoy the clientele they serve. We (and my daughter separately) have visited about monthly for many years to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and wonderful meals.

Recommended for a lovely and value-for-$(in today’s times) very enjoyable meal. Great!

Was a bit skeptical but the atmosphere on a winters night was very nice. Obviously had a trainee waitress who didn’t know what gluten free was, nor fish of the day, but had otherwise great service. The food was very tasty and well presented.

I went to Tony’s for my birthday and it was lovely. I love how there is NO surcharge on Anzac day as this has always been an issue for myself. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The portions were huge and my steak was delicious.

My family and I have enjoyed eating out at Tony’s over the years since we moved west. We cerebrated my 50th birthday there with the whole family and we have just celebrated my niece 21st birthday there on Saturday 16/10/10.

Tony’s staff was very helpful and was able to fit the whole family and friends of 40 plus. We appreciate Tony’s staff and dinners for putting up with our volume of noise. The food and the atmosphere was divinely delicious.

Thank you Tony and staff, ‘WE WILL BE BACK”

A group of five went to Tony’s for lunch. A warm welcome by the staff, who are friendly. Pork Belly was fantastic and a generous serve. And the beef burger with the tower of onion rings was huge. Will be back again for lunch and dinner.

Tonys need to sort out the frontline personnel. The receptionist made it difficult for us to book a meal. upon arrival she told us had we booked, no one is in the restaurant at this stage. we said no and then she proceeded to patronise us about not booking, we apologiesed thinking that the restaurant was fully booked, it wasn’t…I get totally annoyed at these sorts of people with no customer skills who should be washing dishes in the kitchen. The restaurant was not even full when we left either…apart from that the food is good.

Fantastic meal- steak was cooked to perfection, chicken was very tasty and the kis meal was gobbled up. Very good sized meals too and the service was friendly.

Since arriving in New Zealand over 6 years ago, I have to say I have finally found a place I consider to be a proper restaurant – a nicely presented restaurant with the tables dressed with CLEAN tablecloths, and the cutlery laid out properly! The food was absolutely delicious – generous portions and affordable, and the service was fantastic… the staff actually know what they are doing and care about the customer too. I am definitely going to come back again.

We are a group from North & South who meet approx every 3 -4 months to have a good get together. Knowing from the past how Tonys had been we went (all 11 of us with 2 children)for lunch on Saturday. We were not dissapointed. Staff were most friendly and food was tops. Did not hear one bad comment about the meals. One commented who had the pork dish was “I would have been happy with half of the portion” but he ate it all and I’m picking as a local he will certainly be re visiting. Chris you have been there a long time, you have maintained the high standards you set many years ago and the presentation of meals has reached A+ . A nice place to go you won’t be dissapointed.

I’ve eaten here many times and I have always enjoyed the experience. The staff are friendly the food is good. The prices are fair, the atmosphere I like. The only negative for me is they bring you a drink and they never come back to give you a refill. It’s like they think you only want one drink. But I guess it’s good they aren’t trying to get you drunk.
