we like Mama Melrose...have gone there several times for the Fantasmic package. Food is comparable to Olive Garden.
We had lunch at Tony's in May 2010...it was pretty good, we'd eat there again.
Service is kind of sketchy at both...2 out of 3 times at Mama Melrose food was great but service was incredibly slow. At Tony's, server seemed kind of inattentive...was the tail end of the lunch crowd so not incredibly busy. Not really bad service, just not the best.
I'd rate Mama Melrose above Tony's.
