8/10 Review for Tony's Lord Nelson Restaurant, Auckland From the outside, Tony's Lord Nelson looks like a modest little shop—but step inside and you're instantly immersed in a warm, historic atmosphere that makes you feel part of something special. The ambiance is inviting, with a classic charm that sets the mood just right. Their drink menu is impressive, and the steak selection is massive. I went for the 5-bone steak, which was incredibly tender—some parts could be cut with just a fork. I ordered it medium-rare but it came out closer to medium. Still enjoyable, though the flavor was a bit flat and could’ve used a touch more seasoning or spice. Overall, a solid experience with lots of character. Would definitely return.

Went here for dinner and the food was absolutely stunning. The waiting staff were very nice, even when my partner wanted a slight change, they were very quick to help. The steaks themselves were very delicious and tender, and loved the 1970~ esc vibe of the restaurant. A very authentic finish to this restaurant in the CBD! Will definitely come again.

I went with almost 20 Japanese friends — the place is spacious and perfect for groups. I tried the Rack of Lamb and Lamb Shank, and both were delicious! They’re famous for lamb and it really shows. Great quality food at a fair price. Would definitely come back [:

Not going to lie, we are serious meat eaters in our house so my suggestion for dinner was quickly ignored once the Favourite Husband honed in on the "TOMAHAWKS" sign ahead, like a heat seeking missile. It was like stepping back in time as we entered the restaurant and were seated in a booth and surrounded by brick walls and leather seating. I love all things retro, it’s why I married the Favourite Husband, so I was down for it. And the menu didn’t disappoint. There was pate and prawn cocktail and so many mains I was overwhelmed with choice. The super friendly staff immediately offered to take our drinks order which is a big hit with me. Nothing worse than sitting around waiting for a drink. We went full retro and ordered the pate and the prawn cocktail as we both fancied both so we could share. (Loosely translated as I wanted both and couldn’t make my mind up so the Favourite Husband appeased me!) I also liked that we were able to order the entrees and then order the mains afterwards which helped stretch the meal out for us. We eat lots and at pace, so this is a good way to slow down and enjoy the evening rather than just the food. The pate was nice, although the toast could have been a little crispier with a bit longer in the toaster. The prawn cocktail was absolutely delicious. Very generous on the prawns and a nice hint of heat in the sauce. Then it was on to the steak. The greedy man Favourite Husband went with the tomahawk steak and a side of vegetables and I went with the fillet bernaise and some onion rings. (I really need to go on a diet come Monday …) The steaks were cooked to perfection and had a lovely, tasty char to them. The bernaise sauce was silky and full of tarragon flavour. The onion rings were hot and crispy and not too greasy. The service was friendly and we felt it was good value for money considering the standard of the steaks in particular. If you want simple food, done well, this is the place for you.

I was in the city for a couple of meetings and decided to get something to eat on my own. I was made welcome and was delighted that it was steak on special for lunch. The steak was perfect and cooked exactly as I had requested. It's been a while since I have been to Tony's but I will be back again. Good food, good price and friendly service.

Don’t go! The food is terrible. They pre-cooked them before u arrived. The fries tasted like stone. Obviously cooked twice. Pork rib was not grilled. Side veggies only a few pieces with plenty carrots. Only chowder soup seems to be normal. Credit card surcharge is over 2%.
