    We had Open Table reservations but 45 minutes after we finally got seated and not in a booth as was requested. Appetizers arrived 40 minutes after ordering. My salad came before the Appetizers. Everyone was hungry and we had to request bread that was eagerly eaten. Main dishes came about 2 minutes after the Appetizers. Manager never once stopped by our empty table.

    Hi Cynthia, this is AnaLee the General Manager at Anthony's. I'm so sorry that you did not have the best experience last Sunday. If you could email me privately, I would like to hear more about your visit and send you a gift certificate to make up for our mistake. Thank you so much for reaching out! Analeef@anthonyscom

    Went for my daughter's 22nd Birthday. Drinks and appetizers were good. Entrees seemed to take a while considering they weren't terribly busy. Birthday girl's entree was not what she ordered. Retire took a long time for an all-tempura dish. Dessert was comped, and appreciated. Overall good, but not overly special.

    Love your Open Table waitlist capability! Saw Sarah two years ago when I last visited. Nice to see her still caring for customers. Sarah did not have our table tonight. 😞 Our food was done to perfection. Appetizers were great but a little small portioned. Wait staff brought out salads n appetizers at the same time. Requested salads to wait. We think they were not refrigerated as we enjoyed our apps. Salad very tasty but very overdressed and now warm n wilted. Salads were brought when appetizers plates had not yet been cleared. We had to clear our own plates. So service had some training issues. Very slow generally after rushed first courses. Also surprised we had to make our own doggy bags. Minor comments in the grand scheme of a nice evening but noticed this lack of service refinement for the price level of the dinner and ambience of this restaurant.

    Kitchen was struggling to keep up with the crowd but all orders were accurate. Food was just ok. Fish and chips were lackluster, chowder was excellent, clam pasta was good but not enough clams. Server was friendly, attentive and did his best. Kitchen fell short this visit.
