Overload You may have heard the chilling fact: a single weekday edition of the New York Times contains more information than the average person in the 1,600’s would have come across in a lifetime. In addition, studies have shown our addiction to technology and up-to-the-minute information adds a burden of increased anxiety, isolation and depression in some people. What to do if all this talk has made your stressed? Go on the quiet, at least for a few hours. We’ve created surroundings and a menu that encourages actual human interaction. At Tony’s, there are no self-serve iPads to take your

Starting January Off Right January has long been a month to start anew. Many cultures throughout the ages have ushered in the new year with gifts designed to increase health, wealth and luck.

True Colors “We have the ability to provide white tablecloth fine dining service yet treat our guests like they just walked into ‘Cheers.'” It has been said that service can be described as black and white, but hospitality is in color. Anyone can teach service–serve on the left, take away on the right, fold a napkin precisely. Genuine hospitality, however, cannot be taught. We like to think we shine in how we really make you feel when you come through our doors. We like you. We truly do. And we hope that shows. You are not customers to us–you’re our

Stagecoach Inns In the 1700’s, when stagecoaches were a popular means of travel, stagecoach inns were vital in giving customers rest and rejuvenation.

In today’s era, July is often a busy month for vacations. Think of Tony’s as your modern-day stagecoach stop. Your pre, post and mid travel meals should not add any stress to your vacation adventures. Plan these meals at Tony’s–comfortable surroundings, delicious modern fare, served with our award-winning hospitality—with no potted char in

I want a perfectly prepared meal with great sides and a good bottle of wine; I’m even prepared to pick up the tab. You can certainly buy me a tie, golf balls or a mug as long as you give them to me while I am dining in the comfort of Tony’s. They say it’s the thought that counts–think
