    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.

    Celebrate in Tony’s wine cellar for an intimate setting among wines spanning decades.

    All-day cafe with boutique hotel vibes coming to downtown Houston

    Lila's is the newest restaurant to arrive at GreenStreet, the three-block downtown complex.

    Downtown Houston is adding a new restaurant to its roster with Lila’s at GreenStreet. Slated to open this fall, Lila’s is envisioned as an all-day New American restaurant that starts the day with coffee and breakfast and ends with dinner and cocktails.

    Located at 1201 Fannin Street, Lila's occupies a 5,100-square-foot space in the former lobby of the office tower, with its entrance tucked into an alleyway between McCormick & Schmick’s and The Palm. The restaurant aims to capture the experience of a boutique hotel, without the hassle of overnight guests.

    “We’ve spent years thinking about how hospitality can fundamentally change the experience of a place,” Matt Ragan, chief hospitality officer for Rebees, said in a statement. “With Lila’s, we’re taking the level of service, attention to detail, and sense of welcome you expect from a great boutique hotel and applying it to an everyday restaurant. We want someone grabbing coffee before work, meeting a client for lunch or settling in for dinner and drinks to feel equally at home.”

    Executive chef Garee Battad will lead the kitchen, drawing on his two decades of experience largely at hotel restaurants such as Nobu at Hotel Crescent Court and Charlie Palmer at The Joule Dallas. His most recent position was as executive chef at Azumi, the elevated Japanese restaurant in River Oaks District.

    “Some of the most memorable restaurants where I’ve worked have been gathering places inside great hotels, and that’s the spirit and sense of place we’re bringing to Lila’s,” Battad said. “We want every dish to feel familiar yet unexpected.”

    Behind the bar, mixologist Zach Smigiel is crafting an ingredient-forward cocktail program with a focus on seasonal flavors, complemented by a wine list, local beers, and nonalcoholic beverages.

    The eatery is the latest endeavor by Rebees, the Houston-based hospitality management firm behind GreenStreet, and its second venture into the culinary world. Its first was Dallas restaurant Billy Can Can, led by executive chef and partner Matt Ford, who will also develop Lila’s menu alongside Battad. Lila’s is named after a French Bulldog owned by Rebees founder Tristan Simon.

    This is the hospitality firm’s second endeavor into the culinary world, joining its Dallas restaurant Billy Can Can, led by executive chef and partner Matt Ford. Ford will also be developing Lila’s menu alongside Battad.

    Tenants of GreenStreet, the three-block, mixed-use development, will be able to order meals and drinks from Lila’s directly to their offices through a proprietary app.
