Tony’s is an absolute hidden gem! By far our favorite steakhouse in the Cincinnati area. Service is off the charts and the raw bar is top notch. Not pretentious at all and worth every penny. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on their menu but my personal reco is the “Dallas Clark” with a miso butter topping. A couple of their unbelievable scallops on the side. You can thank me later…. Oh, and the crab cake as a starter is as good as any I had when we lived in Baltimore. Make sure you give it a try!

When we arrived for our reserved time, no host/hostess was present for us to check in. However, multiple wait staff passed and let us know that someone would be with us soon. 10 minutes later, we(party of 2) were seated. We did request to sit outside, and they were happy to accommodate us. Our server was very sweet, but needed us to repeat our order several times and they were a little slow with bussing the table. The goosecakes and chilaquiles were very good, but the fried pimento cheese fritters won the ribbon!! Light and crisp on the outside, warm and creamy on the inside! Overall it was a great time! Sad to hear they are closing this location, but looking forward to Salazar reopening! Hope he takes the pimento cheese fritters onto a small plate menu at one of his other establishments!!
