Tony's Original Steak & Seafood Restaurant

"Their steak was good but the meat was slightly overdone for us. Their seafood chowder was the best we had in our life. A must order when you are at Tony’s."

"Tried our luck without a booking on a busy Tuesday evening- we were lucky! The atmosphere entering the restaurant was bustling yet nostalgic and welcoming. My friend and I both ordered medium rare steaks- after being tempted by the pastas on offer I must say. It was cooked exactly to my liking, and the seasoned vegetables were delicious and rounded the meal well with the fries. Lemon and passion fruit cheesecake I chose for dessert looked impressive, but unfortunately lacked in any kind of flavour other than creamy. Other than that our evening at Tony’s was a good one. Our waitress was also friendly and charismatic. Will definitely be going back to Tony’s the next time I visit Auckland."

"Came on a Wed for lunch, am glad I did my reservation, they were def busy. I managed to get a booth seat so it was really relaxed and quiet. Noticed the light bulbs were frosted to make it seemed like it was raining. See pic. Sf chowder was creamy, had bits of mussels, surimi and squid. Steak doneness was perfectly done according to my preference. Next time will definitely order from the main menu instead of from the lunch menu. But the lunch menu was truly economical."

"What more can anyone say about Tony's? It's had an amazing reputation for decades and it does not disappoint. Four of us ate there - a spaghetti bolognaise, a lamb shanks on mash, a pacific steak (stuffed with crab meat and prawns and finished with Bernaise sauce) and the seafood platter. The portions are extremely generous and the ingredients are of a fantastic quality - nothing could be faulted. We had plenty of drinks (including some cocktails) plus desserts, and it was the best value meal we have had in our whole trip back home this time. I had forgotten this iconic Auckland spot until this trip home, and I think next time we come home to NZ for a trip we will be eating at Tony's again. Great meal!"

"Absolutely beautiful and delicious! I got a half portion of the lamb shanks (normally comes with 2) and my husband had the scotch fillet. The meals were perfection, we didn't wait long and the staff were incredible! Thank you so much! Their prices are very affordable especially considering the food is of exceptional quality. They deserve an award."
