"My son was in from California so we wanted to take him to Tony’s. We have been before and think highly of the restaurant. Positives: Calamari, wedge, steaks and pasta were very good.Positives: My mother who is very picky loved her steak although she did send it back because it was not hot when it came to the table. She still raved about it even after that. That is really something.Negatives: Lobster tail was so over cooked it came out all curled up. It took me a minute to even figure it out. I sent it back. They asked if I wanted another one. I said “no”. I was getting full anyway so no reason to add another to the bill since they obviously do not know how to cook it. Suggestion if you don’t know how to cook it then take it off of the menuNegative: Preoccupied waiter. I would have gotten a glass of wine with dinner. Waiter never asked. I have been to Tony’s before and have had very attentive waiters. Not this time.Negative: Not Tony’s fault but a large table by us were drunk and very loud. Negative: I have no desire to come back. Their steaks are very good but if you can’t cook a lobster tail it puts Tony’s as a great steakhouse in Indy at the bottom of the list. Their credibility is gone to me. Suggestion: Bringing a nice piece of desert to the table on the house would have been a nice gesture and then I may have wanted to come back. They had a full house so a party of was probably not a priority"

"Inside, you’ll find seating at tables and the bar, along with a pleasant patio area that overlooks the sidewalk. They also have a self-serve water station in the front. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the place left much to be desired. I chose to sit at the bar, and it appeared to have not been wiped down all day. The floor was quite dirty as well. The staff did what was necessary, but seemed to lack enthusiasm. You can customize your own bowl or select one of their signature options. Feeling adventurous, I decided to create my own bowl. Regardless of your choice, you start with a base. I opted for traditional sushi rice over brown rice and spring mix salad. Next, I had to select a protein. The size of your bowl determines how many scoops you receive. The regular size allows for two scoops, so I chose one scoop of spicy tuna and one of marinated salmon, although options like octopus, tofu, and shrimp are also available. After that, you can add various toppings and sauces. I have to admit, my bowl was quite tasty and packed with protein. The atmosphere was relaxed, with music playing softly in the background. Unlike the other location I've visited, this one doesn't offer shaved ice, just poke. Overall, I found this place to be just average compared to other locations I've tried, which is why I’m giving it a 3-star rating. The poke was decent, but everything else felt pretty standard at best."

"I had heard a lot about this place and was really looking forward to the experience. I 'll start by saying that it didn 't live up expectations in some ways but was still a good experience. First of all, I 'll start with decor and atmosphere. For a higher end place I definitely expected a little wow walking in but it all fell a little flat. The bathrooms had plastic paper towel dispensers that didn 't even match the tile or anything. Rolls of toilet paper just stacked on the back of the toilet, and the doors were just frosted glass so I could see the figure of someone sitting and moving around as I waited. Kind of awkward when I met them as they walked out. My turn! Our seats felt more like just shoved in a corner surrounded by walls on 2 sides so half the party just had a brick wall for their view. It wasn 't cozy, it was just kind of poorly laid out. Secondly, our waitress was unfamiliar with most of the menu and had to look at it several times and ask the chef a few times. It took 25 minutes for her to get our drinks, and 45 minutes until she took our order. She fumbled and struggled just to open a bottle of wine as we just awkwardly sat there and watched and waited. Then she we come back ever so often and not even speak, just grab a plate or glass and walk off. It was nothing terrible just not what I expected from a higher end place. I expected a competent and friendly server and all facets of place to be similar theme and feel. But... All that aside, the food was delicious and the drinks were well crafted and good selection of wine. We had the meat and cheese board, mesh salads, a NY strip, a filet, 2 Ribeyes, and the pork chop. Everyone loved each item and we finished with creme brulee, bread pudding, and ice cream. We walked out satisfied and full. I probably won 't be back however at least not with any regularity."
