I
recently
dined
at
Tony's,
the
iconic
steakhouse
in
Auckland
CBD,
which
has
been
serving
patrons
for
an
impressive
60
years.
The
moment
I
walked
in,
I
was
captivated
by
the
charming
decor
that
exuded
vintage
elegance.
The
display
of
vintage
items
and
old
black-and-white
pictures
of
the
city
added
a
wonderful
nostalgic
touch.
The
staff
at
Tony's
were
a
delight
-
welcoming,
kind,
and
exceptionally
attentive
throughout
our
meal.
Their
outstanding
service
was
truly
the
highlight
of
our
visit.
While
the
drinks
were
undeniably
delicious,
it's
worth
noting
that
the
servings
were
on
the
smaller
side,
which
might
not
suit
everyone's
preferences.
Our
dining
experience
took
a
slight
dip
with
the
appetizer,
as
the
calamari
turned
out
to
be
a
tad
too
salty
for
our
liking,
leaving
us
with
half
of
it
untouched.
However,
things
quickly
turned
around
when
our
T-bone
steaks
arrived.
They
were
nothing
short
of
amazing,
boasting
juiciness
and
just
the
right
amount
of
char
to
elevate
the
flavor.
Surprisingly,
no
sauce
was
necessary
to
enhance
the
taste.
The
potato
and
kumara
mash
were
heavenly,
and
the
brussel
sprouts
provided
a
tasty
complement
to
the
main
dish.
My
partner's
T-Bone
was
slightly
drier
than
mine,
but
it
was
still
an
enjoyable
dish
overall.
Dessert
was
a
mixed
bag.
We
opted
for
the
Pavlova,
which,
while
having
a
delicious
meringue,
fell
slightly
short
in
terms
of
fruit
and
presentation.
It
wasn't
as
visually
appealing
as
we
hoped
for,
but
the
meringue
itself
was
undeniably
scrumptious.
In
addition
to
the
delightful
dining
experience,
the
affordable
bill
was
a
nice
surprise.
For
the
sumptuous
feast
we
enjoyed,
including
two
delectable
T-Bone
steaks
and
our
delightful
drinks,
the
total
came
to
a
mere
$185.
This
outstanding
value
for
money
adds
to
the
reasons
why
I
would
eagerly
return
to
Tony's
in
the
future.
It's
not
every
day
you
find
such
a
combination
of
top-notch
service,
culinary
excellence,
and
affordability
in
a
restaurant,
especially
one
with
a
rich
history
spanning
60
years.
