Visited 6.24.22 and 6.30.22. Detailed review to follow: FOOD: 5/5. I ordered the Brussel sprouts starter. It was tasty. It had... bacon and I think panco bread crumbs and the sprouts were grilled and cut into halves. Main course I ordered the halibut withcrab, cauliflower and potato and it was seasoned well and presented well. They also gives you a few slices of free bread withoil as a teaser. I also ordered a ‘Little Italy’ cocktail which was really good as well. SERVICE: 4/5. Was greeted quicklyand seated promptly. All the waiters/service staff wander around checking on every table regardless of whose table it is butit’s been hit or miss. The same 2 or 3 people actually stop by the table while others seem to just walk around and not evenhelp you or check on you. LOCATION: 3/5. Access and location is definitely tricky. It’s located at the bottom of a largeapartment complex with very little signage showing you where the actual restaurant is at. You need to meet a security guard toget a temporary parking pass but from there it’s a free for all to find where the restaurant is exactly at. I recommendedparking at the first lot directly after the main security booth and walking through the door labeled ‘ARCADE’ which will getyou in the general area but you have to wander a bit to find the place. More signage would be nice, though I’m not sure ifthey can plaster signage all over the apt complex. I also wish their website at least had the menu on it. Was difficult to seewhat they served without a bit of digging into the website. OVERALL: 4 out of 5 Read more
The salad was amazing. The calamari was perfectly done. My fish (trout) was seared and seasoned just right. My wife’s shrimp... and crab dish was luscious. The fresh strawberry slices and vanilla beans in our crème brûlée made it nothing less thanexquisite. This place is a truly hidden gem! Read more
What a wonderful experience! The servers worked as a team and were very friendly and accommodating. Loved that the bread was... pre-cut, although I was dining with people that don't manhandle the bread. My dining partners enjoyed their drinks and I did awell although I forgot the name of it. We had the crab of crab soup which was flavorful and creamy. The goat cheese with driedcranberries on top of spinach salad was was pre-dressed with an amazing dressing! Yummy!! Our meals were a Red Snapper (whole)special, Halibut and a Seafood Stew, I believe. To savor the experience we all took some home. So delicious, even the 2nd day.Such great options to select from, so multiple visits are needed. Chef Tony came around to say hi and chop it up with us a bitto make us feel welcomed. Will definitely visit again. A 2nd location is coming soon, so no better time. Check them out, you'lllove it too! Read more
Heard alot about Chef Tony while living in Bethesda. Have to say, it loves up to the hype. The theme of the restaurant is very... appropriate for either happy hour or late night dinner. Get service and the price won't break your wallet. The food isdelicious! Definitely better then what you've heard. Me and the wife definitely be returning on the regular. Read more
Unbeatable happy hour specials. Best seafood I’ve had on the east coast. The red snapper is amazing. The deserts are decadent,... and even if yIhre just grabbing something light, they have an amazing reuben sandwich. The brunch on Sunday’s is incredible.Try the spinach and shrimp angel hair frittata, and if you have room, get the French toast as a desert dish. The fresh whippedcream is perfect. Their bartender Misha is great conversation, and takes his job very seriously. A true perfectionist. Read more

The waitstaff at Chef Tony's is always very genial and helpful. Tonight was perfect for sitting on the enclosed patio. We... started with the stuffed mushrooms - they were served piping hot, the topping nicely crisp on the outside and everything moistinside. My husband went for the rainbow trout entree, while I chose the Scottish salmon. Both pieces of fish were cookedthrough, but very moist. The presentation was lovely and the sides equally well-prepared. We had two decaf cappuccino afterwardsand split a caramel bread pudding. Lovely! Read more
