I absolutely am amazed at how friendly the staff and chef are! The food is incredible, whether you get a handheld or if you go for anything else! I love the calamari…. Which I was afraid to try being as though I’ve had a bad review in a different restaurant. The calamari here was perfecttt! The catfish sandwich was amazing. As well as the cheesy bacon fries! The drinks are another thing I can check off as great. I can’t say I’ve tried one thing I’ve disliked at this restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp to go into the building and the staff will move the chair for you so you have space for the wheelchair. 10/10

The food in this place was 1/5. I hate to assume that a place will be out of business soon, but when your restaurant is empty during the "dinner rush" and the food is mostly terrible, it's probably not a great sign. Chef Tony needs to change his name to just "Tony" until he learns how to cook food.

Chef Tony's is a neighborhood favorite for our family. The food and drinks are great, the service friendly, and the place has a relaxing vibe where we chat and bring friends. Highly recommend the prime rib or the brisket sandwich. Fries, flatbreads, Mac n cheese, and healthy bowls are always good too!Parking: Parking is behind the building.

Made a reservation for a Saturday night. Arrived a few minutes early and we were promptly told to seat ourselves as the establishment as we were advised their servers called off work. We can deal with that, and seated ourselves at a table. We waited 20 minutes for the individual who was attempting to run things, to offer us menus, and ask if we wanted something to drink. We said yes to both, even though we only wanted water and we went ahead and placed our order for food as well. . Another 20 minutes later, a few more tables were seated, and in that time all received their beverages. After the first interaction was made, we did place our order for food, and watched this others entered the establishment. We got tired of seeing others, serve their beverages, and after a total of 40 minutes spent in the establishment and then overhearing the individual in charge advise other tables, his two servers were sick and he sent them home? We decided to leave. It was an unfortunate experience, and we will not return. The sad part is, is that this is a fairly new establishment, and we were anxious to have a meal there, as we had been reading some decent reviews. This is a tough industry to be successful and we truly believe in supporting local but there are too many other eateries in our area to choose from.

We went to this establishment last night and here is my review: I thought that a restaurant that required reservations would be a little higher end than it was. I also researched the chef that runs this, so my expectations were much higher when I went there. The ambience was nonexistent. The restaurant was short staffed so we had to wait quite a while before our server attended to us. There is not a full bar and the cocktails apparently come in cans but I can't really blame that on the restaurant as they may not be able to get a liquor license. The Cabernet Sauvignon was good so there's that. There was a family feud game held while we were there and one of the staff used a microphone to run the game. The amp was right behind us so the noise was so loud that it was difficult to enjoy sitting in the restaurant. Regarding the food, the lobster cake was very salty and drenched in spicy aïoli. I was very much looking forward to the General Tso's Brussels but they were borderline burnt and way overdone. The calamari was lukewarm and the squid itself was small so the coating on the squid was the primary part of that dish. The prime rib could not have been cut any thinner. For the price of the food there, I would say it was most definitely not worth it. Overall, we were very disappointed and I do not see this restaurant lasting long. Having said all this, I always hope a new restaurant stands the test of time and hopefully they will tweak some things so they can stay in business in Linglestown.

I will admit, the other reviews scared me when I read them. Anything from the past 2 weeks was a 1 star... but can firmly say that it wasn't that bad! This place definitely seems like an appetizer and drinks type of place, as the entrées were a bit pricey and VERY salty. The dessert was to die for though!Shout out to Jasmine, our server, for being super kind for being so new.

The crab was the driest thing I have ever gotten. Also the building was freezing I had to go sit next a heater and still freezing . The only thing that was good was the grilled shrimp. If we didn't get that it would be a zero review.
