    The food wasn’t good. The steaks were cooked incorrectly and were very overpriced for the quality of the meat. Just overall not a good experience. Will not be back.

    Dining was great as we requested the bar area and happened upon Happy Hour which was superb. The food selections were satisfying and the dessert very filling. Wines were discounted and a very good dining experience. Service was excellent and attentive.

    Extremely disappointing outing to Tonic; we won’t be returning. Tonic, we were told, was out of bread - really?The steakhouse was out of Rib Eyes, all sizes - really, is this a steakhouse? As a result an expensive so Tomahawk was ordered which was priced far above its worth as it was flavorless. The excuse? It was Sunday. Don’t open if you can’t supply customers.
    Tonic Seafood and SteakResponded on 28 January 2025
    Hi Stephanie, We’re really sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been to find that we were out of bread and rib eyes, especially at a steakhouse. While we aim to always have everything on hand, sometimes supply issues arise, and we regret that we couldn’t meet your expectations this time. We appreciate your feedback and are looking into better ways to manage our inventory. We truly hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide a better experience in the future.

    We had not eaten here in several years. We were pleasantly surprised and pleased. Our server was extremely professional and friendly. She knew the menu well and was able to provide suggestions and information on dishes. Our drinks and food were delicious and arrived on time. Nothing to complain about.

    Love the crab cakes. However, serving them with grits? I hope you find something more nourishing for the $40. Grits are pasty and BLAH. Love Bree. She's a trip. We are regulars.
