"Tony's, our South Bay Landmark, has provided our families with countless celebrations several for generations! Since the time I was a little girl, I'm 54 now, we have supported this local restaurant and feel as if we are part of the Tony family~ We adore Sebastian and the gang~ Over the years, all of us have cupboards and bars filled with the infamous Tony Mai Tai glasses~ Thanks for the memories and future ones to be made!"

"My fiancé and I went to Tony's very early on in our relationship and fell in love with the atmosphere, food and great service. Billy made many of our visits memorable with his amazing drinks and charm! We love Tony's and treat ourselves frequently to this special place, We ended up telling our parents about our upcoming baby and celebrated at Tony's. We hope for many more special occasions in our lifetime at Tony's."

Robin
Harbor City, CA

"Growing up in the South Bay (70's), Tony's was one of our favorite beach restaurants. I visited Redondo Beach in June and had lunch at Tony's. The food and service were just as good as "back-in-the-day.....GREAT...which made a special lunch even better! Thanks!"

Cheryl
Houston, TX

"Tony's was our first destination on our wedding night 15 years ago (ditched our reception for some crustacean pasta with an ocean view), and yes.. even before the Hilton. We have moved all around the country but have family in Torrance so Tony's is always on the agenda when we are in town. 
 
Sir Billy went to High School with my Uncle so I assumed that he just treated me like family because, I am. But reports from friends of mine concur that he defines Genuine Hospitality... 
 
There is nothing like riding out last call at the upstairs bar while taking in a Buffett impersonator. Thanks Tony's for many memories and many yet to come."

Vince Johnson
Suisun City, CA

"My family has been dining at Tony's for 3 generations. The food is spectacular, the people are kind and friendly and the location is unmatched in beauty and ambiance. I'm a customer for life. And it's something I'll pass down like my grandparents and parents before me. The best restaurant, food and atmosphere anywhere I've ever been. Thank you for all my wonderful experiences. I've lost count of how many Mai Tai glasses I own."

Natalie Ralston
Riverside, CA

"My fiancé and I were visiting Redondo Beach last week, and repeatedly visited Old Tonys. Every time we would visit was better than the last. I cannot thank this place enough for their amazing hospitality. They had welcome arms for two visitors overwhelmed and excited by California. Our main man Manny, and our acoustic genius Evyn made the experience worth while. Thank you so much for great times and good tunes. Number 1 in my book!! See you in three months boys!!"

Jeffrey Berry
Boulder, CO

"I lived in Hermosa Beach for 8 years in the late 70's-early 80's. We went to Tonys quite often, I just had a drink in one of my Tonys Glasses. Have not been out there since 1997, although did stop in for dinner at that time. I remember seeing the fire damage to the pier, thinking hope Tonys survived! Great Food, Fun and atmosphere! Keep up the good job, can't wait to get back out there real soon! Your the 1st place we go to every time!!"

Diane

"Just thought of Tony's while I listened to 'Margaritaville', as it reminded me of the fabulous times I had enjoying fantastic drinks and food there back in the 70's...Must return! Keep up the great work."

Chris Ephgrave

"I just want to thank you for two wonderful evenings for me and my family at your restaurant, we even spent New Years Eve at your place. The dinner was excellent and so also the service your personal showed us. We have now moved further, first to San Francisco and now in Palm
Springs for a few days more before we hit the flight home to Sweden. If our trips goes to LA again we will sure come and visit you and also recommend to eventually friends travelling over.
Wish you a Happy 2011."

Liv Sahlberg

David Cortez

"Visiting the states for the first time and stumbled upon the beautiful Redondo Beach Pier & Old Tony's. If you're a seafood lover like myself, you must experience this establishment. Great food, great beverages, and great people! I must thank Julie, Peggy, Sebastian and the rest of the Old Tony's staff, for this truly unforgettable dining experience."
 

Saul Goodman
Manchester, England

"First time I went to Tony's on the Pier was about 30-35 years ago. It was good then, and I've been there a couple of times since. It's still good. Heading there over the Thanksgiving weekend. YUMMY! Not only good food, but good atmosphere too!! Highly recommend."

"As I was walking down the Redondo Pier, I was summoned by the alluring sound of great live music. It was my first time there and definitly won't be my last! Great drinks, great people, great scenery, great place!!"

Bryan Pereya
Culver City, CA

"We just spent the weekend in Redondo Beach and happened on "Old Tony's" on the pier... What a find , we went at the end of the evening ,and promptly got seated next to sliding glass doors that were open so you heard the surf as well as seeing the lights dancing off the water, and that's just the beginning ... Julie, our waitress provided excellent service as well as personal stories which made us feel like regulars even though it was out 1st. time .Now the food...simply amazing ... My husband splurged and got the King Crab legs...wonderful and I got a special linguini with huge chunks of Lobster and they made it personal when I asked if they could add Scallops in place of the Shrimp , No problem !! Simply THE BEST seafood ever, our teens were treated equally well ... Please do yourself a favor and visit .. old time , great atmosphere on the water ...What more can I say... The Bass Family !!"

Dorett Bass

"I have had many wonderful dinners at Tony's, including my 17th birthday with my parents and my boyfriend of 4 yrs, after dinner, with dessert, I received my engagement ring! We will be celebrating our 40th on 9/28. We still love you and each other."

June Longdon
Downey, CA

"Since I was little I would always come with my parents to the Redondo Beach Pier and always passed by Old Tony's Restaurant. I have to admit I've never stepped foot in the place until 2 weeks ago. I went to spend the whole day at the Pier and ended my night in the bar at Old Tony's with my boyfriend and I have to say, this place is the best from their staff to their drinks! :-)

I didn't want to leave. We watched the sunset and the stars come out. It was so romantic. The ambiance is great plus the entertainment! There is no doubt that I will be returning!!"

Kay Lopez
Harbor City, CA

"I spent lot of time in Redondo in the mid 90's. I would walk from my hotel to Old Tony's for dinner. It's a wonderful, classic Seafood restaurant. Great views of the marina and the sunset is awesome. The best seafood I have ever eaten. I miss it so."

Mark Mithcell
Nashville, TN

"I enjoyed the clam chowder with smoke salmon chunks. It is a perfect way to start your meal. The food and friendly service is just great. The dinning atmosphere is still classic and inviting. May Tony's Restaurant continue on for generations to come. We will be back soon."

Vince & Gloria Ihley
Alta Loma, CA

"I was at Old Tony's last weekend with a group of friends, and we had an absolutely fabulous time. We met bartenders Sebastian and Billy and they were extremely friendly and fast with the strong cocktails. We will will be back with another big group.

I love Tony's for a lot of reasons - the old school feel, friendly employees who have been there for decades and the fact that it is family owned and operated. All these things are such a rarity these days. I love the history that oozes from the place. So much of the town has been torn down and homogenized. Kudos to Tony's for keeping it real."

Christian
Manhattan Beach, CA

"I moved from Californina over five years now, but Tony's was a regular destination for my wife and me. We worked on location during the weekends and the goal was always to meet afterwards in the bar upstairs to catch the sunset over a cocktail before dinner. We brought family and friends to dine and take in the Tony's experience over the years, and I recently recommended it to a friend on business... I found your website. What a treat to reminisce. I appreciate the wall paper screen savers - they adorn my computor. I want to thank you for every special time ever spent at Tony's. I hope to be in LA for business soon, and I can not wait hit another sunset."

Mike
Plainfield, IL

"I lived in Redondo Beach from 1988-1995 and cant remember a Friday night me and my boyfriend didn't go to Tony's. It is such a fun "Local" place and the food is awesome. I will be back to town on Sept.10-14 and I cant wait to come for more memories and great chowder!"

Lori
Destin, VL

"We started going to Tony's when we started dating over 14 years ago and now marred. We absolutely love it! There are not many places left where the people know your name when you come in and remember what you drink when you sit at the bar. Billy is the best bartender ever! The wait staff is excellent along with a fantastic menu. You have to experience a sunset or a rain storm there to really get the full ambiance of this fantastic place. You must make this a stop on your next visit or night out."

Susan & Eric Cunningham
Redondo Beach, CA

"Tony's has always been in our family as "the place" to go for a great over-the-water dining experience. When there's a celebration, we go to Tony's. It is a magical place to dine after a refreshing walk along the pier. We love to wait for our table because then we can go upstairs and enjoy the view from the 'bird nest'. Try the Pink Salmon Chowder. . Simply the best!"

Karen
Redondo Beach, CA

"A couple of SoCal friends took me to Tony's back in January of 1988. I've never forgotten the view and the experience. Anybody in southern California MUST go to Tony's!"

Jim Donovan
Canton, MA

"My wife introduced me to Tony's while we were starting to date. She had been going there with her parents for years. Our dining experience has always been superb but the main reason we go back again and again is the musician Evyn Charles.

We were there while he played his sunset song at sunset 2 summers ago and asked him to play at our wedding! He did a fantastic job and never fails to amaze every time we hear him. We have brought friends and family who can't believe he is not world-famous yet. We will be back to have dinner and listen to Evyn soon!"

Christine and Vic Lizzaraga
Hawthorne, CA

"In August 1968, my husband and I met at a monthly work "fun" meeting from his job in Torrance. My cousin worked with him and talked me into joining them at Tony's. We dated a couple of months and he proposed in December at, you guessed it, TONY'S. We got married on February 15, 1969, We made Tony's our anniversary celebration when we could (moving to Big Bear took us away). We are now retired and live by Reno, Nevada and are celebrating our 40th anniversary next month and can't imagine not going back to Tony's, where our relationship started, and toasting our lives with a mai-tai and lobster dinner. We are so excited to see the ocean from your view and reminisce about how we met by chance at Tony's."

Ron and Josie Flippen
Washoe Valley, NV 89704

"The other night I took some friends for their birthday. This was my 3rd time. I have to say the food, as always...FANTABULOUS!!!!  The best salmon, red snapper, and steak!!! This is my favorite new restaurant for 2009. I look forward to taking people there for an enjoyable meal and atmosphere."

Daniel Williams
Hawthorne, CA

"Billy is the best bartender you'll ever meet! You'll feel like you are part of the family when you visit Billy at the lower bar. We love joking around with him any chance we get! He sure makes a mean Mai Tai! "Nectar of the Gods" ain't too shabby either! Tony's is our regular stop when ride our beach cruisers on the bike path! Love those Catalina Sand Dabs! The oysters are the best in Town!"

Jonny & Melissa McPheeters
Redondo Beach, CA

"What memories I have of Tony's on the pier. I was born in Hawthorn in 1964 and as early as I can remember, my parents took me there. It felt like almost every weekend...love it. One of my memories was the Shirley Temple drinks with the green plastic mermaid inside. It was my family's number one place for great food, great service, and beautiful views. Love you Tony's."

Caroline Delao
Ventura, CA

"Me and my Husband Scotty, have been going there for almost 4 years now, and continue to go there and enjoy the atmosphere at the bar and watch the sun set while "Manny" makes us up his famous "Mai-Tai" drinks! We also LOVE the the giant shrimp cocktails. We love going there and can't wait to go there again soon. The people and the guitar player "Doug" are are nice people there. We never have a bad time. I suggest everyone go there at least once. I promise after just one fun experience there, it won't be the last... :)"

Patricia Porter
Lawndale, CA

"I was born in Redondo Beach in '65 and raised in Orange County, CA. What WONDERFUL memories I have of my parents taking me to Tony's a lot when I was little (they're both gone now). I remember eating frog's legs with my dad!!! The sea bass was great, too - we'd take leftovers and eat it cold the next morning together. I'm so glad to see you're still there! :)"

Tia

"My husband and I have been going to Tony's ever since our first date! We love the atmosphere, the food, the service and the drinks. Hands down, Tony's has the best shrimp cocktail and Mai Tai's in L.A.!"

Monica
Rosamond, CA

"Dear Friends: We all agree the food at Tony's is splendid, but let's talk about Billy's downstairs bar. It has the best service and expertly made mixed drinks anywhere in the South Bay. If you like classic, perfectly crafted cocktails, Billy's your man! He's gentlemanly, knowledgeable, and possesses a wonderful sense of humor that makes the bar itself not only a great place to wait for a table, but also a destination unto itself."

Patrick Tierney
Torrance, CA

"I ate at Tony's for the first time in the early 70's. A really handsome guy named Tony took me there for a Special evening. It was great, I'll never forget it. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere in the evening Magical! I still have my souvenir glass. I always talk about this place to my daughter and nephews and was wondering if it was still around. I got on the internet, typed Tony's on the Pier and I'm glad to see that you're still open after all these years. Now my family is requesting that their B-Day dinners be celebrated there. We have B-Days every four days in the month of March. So I guess you'll be seeing us every March from now on. Thank you and Best Wishes always."

Yvonne
Azusa, CA

"We were in L.A. on business and pleasure. We stopped by Redondo Beach one afternoon. After walking around the pier for a while, we decided to go into Old Tony's for a drink, and maybe dinner. We met Bill, the amazing bartender. He makes the most amazing Pomegranate martinis! The service was amazing! The food was amazing! The atmosphere was amazing! We will definitely be back, the next time we make it out to California."

Kristy and Bill
Dallas, TX

"I've been coming to Tony's since 1968. They have the most incredible "Smoke Salmon Chowder"! A MUST try! Being able to open the window at your table is a wonder plus. My children have fond memories of feeding the birds breadcrumbs and watching the sea lions play. Atmosphere is friendly and comfortable, food excellent, Harold Payne is fun at the piano and drinks are a bargain. You'll not regret the experience."

Don La Fon
Hermosa Beach, CA

"I have been traveling to Redondo for my holidays for over 18 years, from England. Everybody in Old Tony's are my adopted family. I have so many memories, every single one, fantastic and as special as the next. The food, the 'family' the atmosphere is something very special and unique, and creates a wonderful home from home. I advise anyone who hasn't visited, eaten or drank there, to go and sample the delights of Old Tony's. I'll be there in June '08 for my 22nd holiday to R.B. and Old Tony's will be my first port o' call..... LUV U GUYS... Limey x"

"My Mother and Father have been married 42 years and come to Old Tony's every year for their anniversary. They brought me and my 3 sisters since we were young and I've always had great experiences dining at Old Tony's. I've now introduced my boyfriend to Old Tony's and he loves the food. We will be spending Valentine's day at Old Tony's like we have been for the past two years. I always recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. The Bloody Mary's are awesome!!"

Susan
Alhambra, CA

"I used to come in to your restaurant as a little child in the early 70's, usually for my birthday. I would order a large plate of crab legs and eat every bite as the waitresses wondered where I was putting it all. I brought my husband in there a few years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. I just found out today that a friend of mine and I both shared wonderful memories of your restaurant. I just wanted you to know. I hope Tony's is around for generations to come."

Ann Laing
South Bay

"My husband and I have always love Tony's on the Pier. We would celebrate every anniversary by going to Tony's, since the 1980's. We would order steak & lobster and make sure to order a Mai Tai drink for a souvenir glass. We have spent many nights there eating and then walking the pier. We frequently went to there to eat, about once a month. We loved the atmosphere, music and fine dining. Service is always excellent. We love Tony's!"

Jim & Marie Coscarelli

"My fiancé Michael grew up in San Pedro and always had wonderful stories to tell me about wonderful memories of Redondo Beach and of old and new Tony's and finally he brought me to new Tony's to dine this past February, yes it was romantic sitting by the window and looking out into the ocean, yes the waitress was so helpful and sweet and YES the food was fabulous! I will never forget it, can't wait to come back! I dream about it at times!" :-)

Michelle Santos

"My Dad has made Tony's a tradition since the 60's . Tony's has been a home away from home for my brothers and sisters since I can remember. Tony, Billy, Wendy, Ken, Sebatian and everyone else has been a second family to us. Thank You for many great memories and many more to come from the Woods family. Cheers!"

Joshua Woods

"I've been a loyal customer of Tony's since 1985. I love this restaurant because the food and service has not changed. I still see the same employees there from back then. The food is delicious and they give you enough food to fill you up with soup and salad! I love this place, and highly recommend it to anyone!"

Deitra Fowler
Rialto, CA

"My husband and I had a reason to celebrate and we chose Old Tony's to do it. We sat upstairs in the bar and enjoyed some wonderful oysters and bay shrimp, sipped our drinks and listened to the music. Then we headed downstairs to a wonderfully secluded table, had lobster thermidor to die for and a tender steak and enjoyed our dinner. My husband said the smoked salmon chowder would be reason to come back every week! We've lived in the South Bay most of our lives and now we will include Old Tony's as one of our favorite places to go for a good drink and wonderful dinner. It's the best of the best!"

Ann Bowen
Redondo Beach, CA

"Old Tony's is the best! Fahgettaboudit! I have been coming here since I was a kid. The place is legionary! The best food, the best atmosphere, the best dining, the warmest service. This is the place to come for special occasions or for romantic night and get away. So many great memories……. Old Tony's never changes, you don't mess with a masterpiece. Try the Swordfish! Try the steaks! And the lobsters...........oh! I'm hopin' on the 405 I'll be there by sunset! Ciao!"

R. Frankie Pecoraro
Van Nuys, CA

"What can I say? I love Tony's! I have been a faithful customer since 1982, (I should own the place by now!), and that's when I met Wendy. Wendy has been my waiters ever since! She's what makes Tony's what it is today...a fantastic experience! The food is wonderful, excellent and a great value! I have met Sabatian, Ken, "Billy the bartender" and of course, Wendy. My favorite meal is the Steak and Lobster Tail...but...the Ministrone soup is to die for! The best I have ever had! I recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for excellence in food and drinks but most of all, the view! On a clear night, you can see all the way to Malibu! A perfect place for any celebration."

Andy Partida
Downey, CA

"My husband Bill and I have been loyal customers since 1975 and have brought many friends and family to Tony's. My favorite meal is the NY Steak and Grilled Shrimp. Bill loves the clam chowder, shrimp cocktail, and crab louie. Tony's is truly the best in the West."

Pam Shellmire

"My ABSOLUTE favorite Oysters Rockefeller are found only at Old Tony's. I've tried so many other versions around the country and Old Tony's are by far the BEST. I now live in Columbus, OH, but my many visits to Old Tony's are part of all my fondest memories of living in
the South Bay for so many years."

Heather

Danielle
New Freedom, PA

"We had dinner at Old Tony's this weekend and everything was fantastic! Our waitress was very attentive and the food was EXCELLENT. Best of all we got to watch to watch the sun setting into the ocean just as our food arrived. Where else can you get great food while watching a gorgeous sunset? Only at Tony's!"
