    Had lunch at Anthony’s on a Saturday my spouse and two family members. . The menu offered a variety of choices. The food portions are generous enough to share especially the starters. Everything we ordered was delicious. The wait staff is efficient. This was my first time eating here and we will be returning to try more of the menu

    We sat right next to staircase. Did not seem very hygienic. I kept thinking about something flying into my food as people were constantly going up and down the stairs

    Our waiter was non responsive! Our food was so spicy that it was not eatable. It was salmon over Alfredo. There should be nothing spicy in Alfredo. The waitress basically looked like she was being bothered. I visit this place at least twice a month. Worst experience in over two years after i raved to my mother in law how great it was. It was her plate that had the issues.

    Hubby and I went to Anthony's for our Valentine's dinner, and we were not disappointed. We ate in the upstairs dining area, and we loved the rustic atmosphere, with its old stone walls and the wall of wine bottles. The calamari was probably the best we've ever had, if not the best. My husband's salmon was perfect, and I had the filet mignon. I was a little worried that ordering filet mignon from an Italian restaurant instead of a steak house might not be wise. I had nothing to worry about. It was excellent! Perfectly cooked to medium rare, as I requested, and topped with a delicious mushrooms sauce. Our only complaint was that we were too full to finish it there. But not to worry, we boxed up the leftovers, and are looking forward to enjoying them again at home! Love this place.

    Admittedly, it was Valentine’s Day, but our drinks took quite a while to arrive, immediately after they arrived the salad arrived, and even before we got to start the salad, the entrée arrived. We felt rushed.. We’ve eaten at this establishment many times and never experienced this before. it was not our waitress Jackie‘s fault. Obviously the kitchen was pushing her. She was extremely apologetic.
