My husband and I have been driving up to Chattanooga from Atlanta for several years now, and one of our favourite restaurants in the area has always been Tony's. -That is, until they did away w/ the Portabella Panini. That was our favourite, and while there are plenty of other wonderful dishes on the menu, the Portabella Panini was the main reason we drove over an hour to eat there.
My other complaint is that I also noticed lately, there are MUCH, MUCH fewer grilled veggies on the Grilled Vegetable Salad than there used to be, yet the price isn't any lower.
I'm not about to discourage others from going, but we probably will not return since they have removed our favourite item, and have begun to skimp on our 2nd favourite dish. I don't mean to seem negative, but I almost have to ask "What is next?"
The pizza, the pasta, and the service are great -and I'm really going to miss those things, b/c I can find pizza, pasta, and good service anywhere -the Portabella Panini and the Grilled Vegetable Salad were our main reasons for driving so far.
MY HUSBAND AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED TONY'S, UNFORTUNATELY WE ONLY LEARNED OF IT ON OUR LAST NIGHT VISITING CHATTANOOGA. WE WERE THERE ON A THURSDAY NIGHT, AND HAD NO WAIT AT ALL. THE STAFF WERE SUPER FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT. THE ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH ALFREDO SAUCE WAS TO DIE FOR. MY HUSBAND HAD THE ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH TOMATO BASIL SAUCE AND WAS EQUALLY IMPRESSED. THE BREAD WITH OLIVE OIL AND PARMASAN CHEESE WAS THE PERFECT PRELUDE TO THIS WONDERFUL MEAL. WE HAVE BEEN CRAVING THIS PASTA EVER SINCE WE'VE BEN HOME AND WE CAN NOT FIND ANY THAT COMPARE!!! TO COMPLETE THE EXPERIENCE VISIT REMBRANDT, THE COFFEE SHOP AND BAKERY ACROSS THE PARKING LOT IT IS DELISH AS WELL.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! The food is always excellent and we always have great service. I wish it were a bit bigger (it fills up QUICK) and they also need more restrooms, but other than that it is AWESOME!!!
