Come out with some friends to have a lady's night and we had a great time! Got some drinks and appetizers. I think the best part was the chill atmosphere.

Just celebrated my birthday here this evening. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer celebration.
Amy was great, very friendly and helpful. Food was spaced out and relaxing, hot when served.
As always, Mai Tais upstairs with the sunset were great !

Reminded me of old pub style restaurant, waitress was not as attentive as expected. Ordered a chicken sandwich, not impressed, chicken was tough, fries extremely salty. Sunset was nice

Tony’s never fails. Great food. Best cheese bread. The service is top notch. Lora is quite literally the best waitress I have ever met. I will definitely be back.

I’ll start this review by stating the date and time: October 26, 2025 approximately around 5 -6 PM o’clock. I will make this as concise as possible.
This was my first time ever dining in at this establishment. I will, explain exactly what happened.
My family decided to dine here and planned on going fishing and walking the pier after. There were four of us. Upon being seated, I could immediately tell some of the staff were drunk or had been drinking. Our server’s name was Amy.
We sat by the window tables and were greeted by Megan, who was just filling in to get us started (she was so nice and polite), then we were greeted by Amy. She took our order and we all ordered steaks. I will explain what I ordered:
NY Steak cooked Medium.
Minestrone soup.
Caesar salad.
Soup and salad were great and came out with good timing. This is where things went terribly wrong.
All our steaks came out and immediately I cut through the middle to make sure it was cooked to the correct temperature. It was Well-Done. Not a big deal, I just kindly asked the server to have it remade, but that was asked for 3 out of 4 of us. My boyfriend ordered the same thing I did at the same temperature and his came out just as ordered (he ended up trying to share with the rest of us). The other two in our family ordered different temperatures than us and still did not receive the correct cook of the steak.
At this point, I went to speak with the manager just to express concerns and I had to ask the bartender who the manager was and he directed me towards him and I don’t recall his name. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt. This is why I included the date and time. These were the concerns I expressed to him:
1. Server (Amy) held out a bread plate while I was expressing my concerns of my steak and told me “Are you going to put the steak on here??” She interrupted me when I was being very polite in my explanation. She didn’t seem to care about what I had to say.
2. Feedback on the flow of service and service in general. (You could tell the manager was drunk or maybe had been drinking.) He immediately told me: “What could we do? I know you want a discount. Let’s just give you a discount.” I politely responded “No, we actually want what we ordered. I’m just letting you know our experience here so far hasn’t been great.”.
Upon requesting a remake of our entrees to the correct temperatures, we received even terrible outcomes.
The server (Amy) asked me, when I expressed my steak wasn’t cooked to my liking, “What can I do?” I responded “I would like it less cooked because it’s not Medium, it is Well-Done.”
She then brought to the table a RARE steak and tried telling us that’s what I wanted when, what I wanted since the beginning was a Medium steak. That is when I couldn’t take it.
I do want to just say on here that we are never ones to post yelps or leave bad reviews but this experience was discriminatory and just plain out rude. I was crying outside the establishment and the manager told one in our group if he needed a hankie for my tears!? It really did not need to escalate to this but the lack of customer service is insane.
Most of that staff was drunk.
This is discrimination: I am Mexican and polite and I work in this restaurant industry. I did not want to come on here and say this was discrimination, but it is. Tones and attitudes is something I could not write out for you all. Also, the exact words that were said and how they were said speaks volume. So many red flags.
I will not be returning, and quite frankly, I hope this reaches the right people and ALL people. This establishment needs to acknowledge this incident.
