Tony's Of Lexington

This restaurant is the best steakhouse in town! You can't go wrong with anything you order from the menu.

I don't typically write reviews, but I felt compelled to after our recent dining experience. We chose this restaurant based on the fantastic reviews, despite dismissing some negative ones as the work of trolls. The crab legs and crab cakes were truly outstanding, as were the braised short ribs. However, the downhill trend began with the sides we ordered - Brussels sprouts in a vinegary solution, dry and thick creamed spinach, and horseradish mashed potatoes that we did not enjoy. My husband's baked potato, requested with extra sour cream, never arrived. Despite it being my son's birthday and our 30th anniversary, the waiter informed us that we couldn't use our $1000 gift card for the tip, leaving my son to cover an unexpected $125 expense. The complimentary desserts were no better than what you would find at Applebees. Unfortunately, we will be dining at Jeff Ruby's next year, as we still have over $400 left on our gift card. Oh well.

We had a great time at the restaurant! Our server was fantastic, very busy but handled everything exceptionally well! The servers' assistance was also top-notch and very attentive.

After many visits to Tony’s, this last one was far from exceptional. The hostess with dark hair was incredibly rude from the moment we walked in. Never spoke, walked us to our table, which was not the most ideal or comfortable, slammed our menus down and walked off. That set the tone. Our server was friendly, however had to ask for drinks and refills. I questioned getting the pasta dish and against my better judgment I did. No flavor. None. After a 400.00 evening here for two, it was a huge disappointment.

It's... Ok. I've been to many restaurants that I would consider to play in the category this one considere itself in, and it's not really up to par. The prices are crazy compared to the quality you get. The meats are good, but which decent restaurant doesn't make a good steak. It's no trick. The pasta dishes are a joke. Lacking In flavor and the cook doesn't seem to know the meaning of al dente since the pasta wasn't even in the vicinity of the neighborhood where al dente lives. I honestly would have been disappointed in the pasta dishes even if they were half the price. I have no problem with spending good money on good food. But not on ok food! The atmosphere was noisy and not for me, but that's personal. I'm sure there are many who would like it.
