Anthony's is friendly and warm, and has excellent food. It reminds me of the way restaurants used to be with the doorman, the well dressed greeter, and the tuxedo clad waiters. They treat you like they really appreciate you being at their restaurant. It is rather special. The sirloin steak was perfectly cooked and it was spectacular. We enjoyed our evening immensely.
