Highly recommend! My wife and I loved everything about our experience at Anthony's Our waiter Ryan was amazing and helped us pick our items and everything was incredible. We like to share everything so we can experience more items. 😂. Started with scallops on to a bowl of clam chowder then to the main dish of dungeonous crab cakes that were all crabmeat with a nice crisp on the outside no filler! We were celebrating our anniversary so they brought us crème bruele for dessert also incredible. We are from Arizona but if we come back this way we will absolutely be back. Thank you all for an amazing experience. I forgot to mention the view of the lake is also pretty spectacular .
