A couple good French restaurants in town also. There are too many waiters, all in black tie, trying to push overpriced wine. I caught them trying to pass off a cheaper bottle than I ordered without telling me. The owner comes to your table many times during dinner but the buttering-up of customers has a crude edge to it. I can't find fault with the food.
Ingredients are first-rate and preparation, although conservative, is correct.
Owner Vince Bommanito gave me a tour of the kitchen, the cleanest I've ever seen. Kitchen staff are not allowed to talk, everything is made there, including bread. Real old fashioned. Prices to support this have to be high. But, sorry Vince, I can't say I enjoy eating at Tony's.
