    Calamari steak

    Saturday night dinner, tough to find parking at the pier but no problem getting a table at the restaurant. It's busy and lively; tiki bar on the 2nd floor was packed. Traditional dinner included complimentary bread and soup and salad but NOT overpriced! Crab cocktail is unique and amazing!! For sure will go again but much earlier to get parking!!

    My friends and I wanted to grab some drinks while visiting Redondo Beach Pier. Tony's has a bar on the upper level second floor. We wanted to sit on the lower level right next to the open windows, but was told couldn't sit there unless you order food. It wasn't busy thought maybe server let it slide. Nope! We ended going upstairs instead. Really quiet with good views of the pier and ocean. I ordered a mai tai while my friends were sipping on martinis. Bartender took care of us with his generous heavy hands. Drinks were strong, but we weren't complaining. We really enjoyed our cocktails! It was nice to sit down spending some quality time together. Before we left, the bartender kindly gave me a souvenir glassware at no additional cost. Truly a highlight of my visit.

    Onion rings with ranch and ketchup

    A quiet Tuesday at Tony's. Service was fast and approachable, as usual. We ordered the onion rings, and just like the waitress promised, they were really good. I'd definitely order them again. I'm realizing I've probably been undervaluing their small bites and should branch out more often to try additional items.

    Eeek clam chowder

    WOW where do I even start. Don't eat here. How about that. The Chef has most definitely given up. The service was bullSh*t. "So you're not ordering entrees?" Who says that?! We just ordered an appetizer and salad calm tf down. I wanted to leave in that moment and we should have. The fried zucchini tasted like coconut shrimp. My salad came out wrong. I got the feeling he ordered me the more expensive one thinking he could get away with it. It was disgusting for a $33 crab Louie. I requested for my original salad. When that came out, there shrimp were water logged from being previously frozen. The baby corn, olives AND beats ALL had to spit out. The server never asked how ANYTHING was. He dropped food and ran away. Ultimately I understand now why. He is serving shit food and if he isn't present at the table he doesn't have to deal with food being rotten. The chowder tasted like grainy potato soup with slimy clams. YOU COULD LITERALLY BUY BETTER CHOWDER IN A CAN. This was like sludge from a huge bucket that had been sitting in the depths of a walk-in for WEEKS. Then the combination plate. Barf. Dry ass rice disguised in butter. I cannot believe they can get away with serving this food. Not a single plate of food was eaten. The server couldn't care less that we were NOT eating our food. His busser was the one filling our drinks. And when they removed our plates NO ONE ASKED US WHY NOTHING WAS EATEN. Two things I'm grateful for, 1st that we DID NOT order the oysters and 2nd for the busser! WE WILL NEVER BE BACK.

    Cheesy bread - Yum!

    I love coming to Tony's. Last time we were here we specifically came on a storm surge day in December to watch the waves crash against the pilings of the pier and enjoy some sunset Mai Tais in the signature Tony's glasses. We had dinner that night and it was really delicious. This visit was just after lunch. We were looking for a drink and a nibble and Tony's staff was happy to oblige. Upon ordering MaiTais, we were informed that the signature, comp take home glasses were currently out of stock. Not a problem, we already have a collection. Hubs chose cheesy garlic bread and I was excited to try the calamari. MAN! Lightest and best calamari I have EVER had! And Hubs' bread was also YUM! Service is always great! Attentive, but respectful, understanding this special spot that begs guests to slow down and cast a memory or two back. 70s Yatch Rock plays perfectly in the background and the soul exhales. Time passes too quickly at Tony's but, on the upside, we get to return that much sooner. Cheers! "CC"

    This place used to be great. Fire chiefs used to be 8.50-9.25 but now they charge $17.25 for each. That is highway robbery

    OLD TONY - REDONDO BEACH PIER
    TrueVoice R.

    I've been to thousands of beachside restaurants around the world -- but this one stands out like no other! They serve 101% fresh seafood -- you can literally taste the ocean in every bite. Their Alaskan King Crab made me feel like I was teleported straight to Alaska -- the freshness is simply unmatched! I'd honestly pay double for this kind of quality because it's that rare. The Seafood Pasta Alfredo tasted like heaven -- not even a 5-star seafood restaurant could compete. The Calamares? So fresh it's unbelievable! And the warm, freshly baked bread with butter straight from the oven was the perfect start. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, their Mai Tai sealed the deal -- absolute perfection in a glass. Every single detail was flawless. The restaurant's unique ocean-themed vibe makes you feel the sea's energy without even seeing the water.

    Food was not good. The only good parts were our server and the location. I will not return.

    If you ever find yourself at the bar wondering what to order, just find Johnny behind the counter…read moreand relax--your night is in good hands. Not only does he make drinks that taste like they were crafted by a cocktail wizard, but they also somehow double as a therapist, comedian, and professional hype person... all at the same time.

Out of the items we ordered, the pizza and rustic salad were the standouts. The spicy Korean wings were better than the buffalo and the other items were decent, Seating was pretty quick and the service quick. The environment was chill and relaxed and it was nice to be seated in the back area, away from the hustle and bustle. If you're looking for a hangout place after work, this would be a nice happy hour spot. A downside is that with the restaurant being two floors, it's not stroller/ kid friendly. We had to park our stroller downstairs and lug all our stuff upstairs.
