      The first thing you notice about Diamond Tony's is that the colorful exterior of this restaurant certainly lives up to its name. You'll also find that this is a perfect place to drop in and hang out.

   When you enter the two-floor building, you get a glimpse of the personal style of the boss, Tony. There are car license plates, national flags, oak barrels, black-and-white photos of celebrities, and even some antiques. All of this provides a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.

   This large restaurant has many seating areas to choose from: You can sit next to the wall, near the windows, or even on the second floor, from where you can look down on those seated below. Diamond Tony's also provides large tables for groups of ten, giving you the feeling that you are eating a feast in the Europe of yore. You can open the windows, or sit outside in the garden.

   Diamond Tony's lives up to the motto written at the bottom of its menu: "Our food is worth every hard-earned penny." Every dish, from appetizer to dessert, is painstakingly prepared; together, they produce a visual extravaganza. One appetizer is the Butter And Crab Puffs (NT$180), which uses crabmeat, fresh butter, cheese and cucumber, mixed together into a thick sauce for a rich taste.

   The Italian Mixed Platter (NT$360) is popular. Diamond Tony's also offers a large selection of pasta, including Niciose Prawn With Black Fettuccine (NT$360), Olive Oil, Garlic, Chili And Clam Pasta (NT$280). Other dishes include the Rib-Eye Steak (NT$620), which is New Zealand beef, and the Filet Mignon (NT$620).

There's also French-Style Rack Of Lamb (NT$780), Lamb Cutlets (NT$560), and Bacon Sauerkraut And Pigs' Feet (NT$560). Diamond Tony's recently added "lottery meals" to the menu, which include Matzuzaka Steak With Mushroom Sauce (NT$4,800)--possibly the single most enjoyable meal served at this establishment. For NT$160, you can add any dessert to your meal--even Tiramisu or Moven Pick ice cream. A rich dining experience awaits you at Diamond Tony's!
