    Spice up special events with Tony's private dining and catering

    The iconic Tony's restaurant has always been a place for celebrations, from birthdays to holidays to rehearsal dinners — any number of life's important occasions.

    But did you know that Tony's, which is celebrating 56 years of culinary excellence in Houston, also offers catering and private dining spaces?

    Tony's is renowned for dedication and attention to detail when hosting events, paired with outstanding flavors made with the finest quality ingredients. The highly trained staff caters to any dining experience, of any kind and any size.

    Consider these private dining spaces for your next gathering:

    Main Dining Room: World-class art, towering 14-foot sculptures, a centerpiece of fresh flowers, and crisp linens make this one of America’s most beautiful dining rooms. This spacious room is great for corporate events, weddings, and receptions.

    San Remo Room: With the ability to seat up to 100 people, this room is ethereal and spacious with airy views and beautiful works of modern art. It's ideal for special functions that range from 30-100 people.

    Wine Library: Versace chargers, variegated roses, and a towering Murano chandelier crown this intimate setting that accommodates up to 12 guests. It is the perfect pairing for dinners, board meetings, or intimate evenings.

    Wine Cellar: Dine surrounded by an astonishing wine collection, when only the most exquisite atmosphere will do. The room is crowned with a custom Murano chandelier and seats up to 50 people.

    Get a taste for some of the show-stopping table-side presentations that are available for private events:

    • Gulf Coast salt-crusted snapper: This dish is presented flambéed and carved table-side.
    • Tony’s famous soufflés: From savory like the trufflé soufflés served with a creamy quadrello di bufala sauce to sweet soufflés like bananas Foster, tiramisu, praline, raspberry, Grand Marnier, and more.
    • Chef Austin’s dry-aged duck ala presse. This Crescent Island duck is dry aged for 14 days. The chef presents the whole duck table-side and then makes the sauce in a vintage duck press from France — one of the only duck presse in the city.

    Catering
    It's one thing to host a party, and another for the party to cater to you. Tony's experience is not limited to in-restaurant dining — the restaurant brings exquisite service and cuisine to your home or event venue, no matter the size.

    From holiday celebrations to anniversaries, galas, and beyond, Tony’s catering can create a custom menu and experience that surpasses expectations.

    Memorable options range from custom carving stations to elegant seated dinners to a seven-course interactive food and wine tasting led by a chef, and so much more.

    For the menu, imagine elegant seafood and caviar displays, an interactive wagyu station where the beef is sliced and seared to order, a roaming oyster bar offered with a truffle dill mignonette sauce, and comfort food featuring Tony's famous fried chicken.

    Indulge in classics like truffle risotto, pappardelle bolognese, and pansoti, and end the meal with frozen brandy freezes or a Baked Alaska large enough to serve your entire party.

    To learn more about Tony's private dining and catering options, and to begin planning your next mouthwatering meal, visit here.

    Transform any room to cater to your celebration.

    Jonathan's new job

    Houston hospitality veteran picked to lead beloved Junior League tea room

    Jonathan Horowitz is the new general manager of the Tea Room at the Junior League.

    A Houston hospitality veteran has found a new home at one of the city’s most iconic dining rooms. Jonathan Horowitz is the new general manager of the Tea Room at the Junior League of Houston.

    Over the course of his two decade career, Horowitz has held many roles, including being an equity partner in LASCO Enterprises, which operated The Tasting Room and Max’s Wine Dive; spending five years at the CEO of Legacy Restaurants, the company behind The Original Ninfa’s and Antone’s Famous Po’ Boys; serving as the president of the Houston Hospitality Alliance, an organization that fostered relationships across all aspects of Houston's hospitality communities; and operating Convive Hospitality, a consulting firm that helped open several establishments around town.

    Most recently, Horowitz has been working in commercial real estate. His responsibilities have included both pleasant aspects such as helping operators find an ideal location to expand their businesses and more negative aspects like helping others sell or close a struggling operation. The highs and lows had him looking for a new opportunity right when the Junior League needed a new general manager.

    “I had made contact with a national recruiting firm after their current GM left the job after 41 years,” Horowitz tells CultureMap. “I looked at it from a current life situation and what I wanted to do going forward — the opportunity to get back into operations is very exciting and something I’m familiar with.”

    "Jonathan Horowitz stood out from a strong candidate pool for his extensive experience in hospitality, business development, law and leadership, alongside his deep Houston culinary ties and alignment with our mission," the Junior League Tea Room General Manager Search Committee said in a statement. "He respects our traditions while bringing the collaborative leadership needed to enhance staff partnerships and advance our premier food and beverage operations in our newly renovated building. As we enter our next century of service, we are thrilled to welcome Jonathan as the new general manager."

    Although he’s only a couple of days into the job, Horowitz already has some ideas how to enhance the Tea Room, which underwent extensive renovations a couple of years ago. Of course, fan favorite dishes such as the taco salad, crepes, and pecan ball aren’t going anywhere, but Horowitz has already heard from members who want more vegetarian options. He’s also gauging interest in themed game nights such as mahjong or bingo.

    Behind the scenes, Horowitz is planning on some technological upgrades that will allow the operation to run more smoothly. Knowing his predecessor held the job for more than 40 years has Horowitz feeling optimistic that he’s found a long-term home.

    “We’re on day three and you never know what the future hold, but I certainly look at it that way. That’s how I’m approaching it. I ain’t no spring chicken,” he says with a laugh.
