   We celebrated my husband‘s birthday with beautiful food and gracious staff. That’s why Anthony’s is our favorite seafood restaurant!

   For what is considered "Fine Dining," our experience at Anthony's was extremely disappointing. This wasn't our first time to eat at Anthony's, but I don't see us going back. I'm not one to make a scene at a restaurant, and so I don't say anything if the food is bad. When I have done that in the past, it hasn't gone well. My feeling is that at a restaurant that offers fine dining, someone should be doing quality control before the food goes to the table. Our appetizers were a seasonal salad that was okay and oysters on the half-shell, which were delicious. Not too difficult to make a good salad, and with fresh, quality oysters, well, enough said. Unfortunately, the quality of the food took a dramatic turn downhill when our entrees were served and no where near the level of fine dining. I ordered the shrimp scampi and I was disappointed right when the server placed my food on the table. The shrimp were completely white and obviously overcooked. Further there was no seasoning on them, no buttery sauce that I'm used to when I eat shrimp scampi, and they looked dry. Indeed, the shrimp was well overdone, tough (for shrimp), dry, with some of the shrimp being stuck on the baking dish. To make it worse, the dish was bland. It was served with rice pilaf and some Brussel sprouts that had been halved and seared. The rice pilaf was not dissimilar to other rice pilaf that I have had. To me, it's more of a space filler on your plate and never something that rocks the tastebuds. Like the shrimp, my Brussel sprouts were dry and I used the butter left over from our sourdough bread to spread on them for moisture. The fish and chips were also overcooked and dry. She ate two pieces and gave me the third. It was definitely disappointing. A squeeze of lemon and a good soaking of malt vinegar helped immensely. Maybe it was an off-night for them, but I don't appreciate paying fine dining prices for a meal that is mediocre at best.

   Great food (Chargrilled Halibut incredible!) and Teresa D was always available, but not overbearing. She helped our food stay on track to meet our time needs. The Birthday Dessert was super good.

   We really enjoyed our dinner there. Great location and service from Sawyer was terrific. Husband loves their halibut fish and chips when they are available. I had the lobster special dinner which was very good. I've had lobster specials at other restaurants, and they are usually very dry and rubbery (we're looking at you, Ruth's Chris). The Anthony's lobster special dinner was moist and perfectly cooked. Parking structure with an elevator straight up to the restaurant is super easy too.

   We love Anthony’s, it’s one of our favorite places to go on a special occasion. The location, ambience, the fact that you get free parking inside and do not have to walk out in the elements is a plus. Of course the food is wonderful!

   Went for the Lobster dinner special. It was wonderful my wife had the $33 3 course dinner and she said it was best Cesar salad she has had. Ask for Jasmine to be your waitress
