    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.

    Tony’s wine cellar is a perfect setting for celebrating any occasion.

    Coming Attractions

    Halal BBQ and family-friendly eatery slated for Sugar Land development

    Halal barbecue and and a family-friendly restaurant are coming to Sugar Land Town Square. Commercial real estate firm Rebees announced it has signed leases with the following two restaurants, along with a couple of retail tenants.

    Levant BBQ will open its second Houston-area location in late 2026 or early 2027 in the former Ruggles Green at 15903 City Walk. Known for its halal meats, including lamb chops, leg of lamb, and lamb neck, Levant BBQ opened its first location in the Galleria area in 2024. A Dallas location followed this year.

    “I did enjoy the flavor of the lamb along with the rub heavy on cardamom and Aleppo paprika with a hint of ginger,” Texas Monthly barbecue editor wrote in a 2025 review. “The chops get a kiss of post oak smoke and are mild in flavor, with much of the fat rendered out in the long cooking process. The lamb neck was bolder — just the right amount of gaminess — and the meat shred similar to pork shoulder. I especially liked it after a dip in the house barbecue sauce made sweet and tangy with pomegranate molasses.”

    Joining Levant will be Majestic Kitchen. Located in the former Mahesh’s Kitchen space, it’s described in press materials as a “family-driven culinary concept” from Majestic Developers founders Santosh and Supraja Cividi. The couple signed a lease in May and will provide more information about when the restaurant will open in the coming weeks.

    In addition to Levant BBQ and Majestic Kitchen, Escapology Escape Rooms is now open at 2248 Texas Dr. Nishat Mills, an online fashion retailer that specializes in contemporary South Asian-inspired apparel for men and women, will open its first brick-and-mortar location at 16160 City Walk.

    Located next to First Colony Mall, Sugar Land Town Square is anchored by Sugar Land City Hall and the Houston Marriott Sugar Land. It’s home to a number of restaurants and bars, including Flying Saucer Draught Emporium, Japaneiro's Sushi Bar and Latin Grill, and B.B. Italia, an Italian-American restaurant from Berg Hospitality. Among the more recent openings is Insomnia Cookies, a cookie bakery that stays open until 3 am on the weekends.
