Celebrating its 50th year in the biz in 2015, Tony Vallone's eponymous Tony's is, without a doubt, Houston's finest fine-dining establishment. From celebrities like Barbara Walters and Andrea Bocelli to Houston's local elite and billionaires, this is the place to go when you want to experience the highest level of service with gourmet Italian food to match. From the moment you step into Tony's, you get the VIP treatment. Servers are dressed in white coats. Water, wine, bread and a myriad of items appear as if by magic. You get table-side service for everything from hand-pulled mozzarella to soup freshly poured from a silver vessel to fish expertly filleted from a whole grilled branzino, or a drizzle of the most delectable Barolo sauce onto your A5 Wagyu. Wine service is impeccable and often arrives at the table in a spectacular Riedel decanter. Chef de cuisine Kate McLean keeps things interesting by offering a changing tasting menu with contemporary interpretations of Italian classics. Keeping the place classy is a strictly enforced dress code, which requires gentlemen to wear jackets in the dining room.
