The service is great, everyone was really friendly and the food came out pretty fast despite the restaurant being busy. The food was really good. The patio gets pretty hot with the heaters, even after they turn them down so I’d definitely recommend wearing something with short sleeves.

We brought an out of town visitor for her birthday and we all had a fantastic meal together. The service was outstanding, the food was as delicious as we’ve come to expect, and perhaps even better with the switch to the fall menu. My friend was treated very special throughout the meal, including the candle and house-made salted caramel celebration treat. A wonderful experience at S&I for all of us!

Anthony's Woodfire Grill continues to be a favorite restaurant for my wife and myself. Every time we dine there, we find the food to be great - in spite of what can honestly be called a pretty limited menu - and the service excellent. We dined there last evening and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My wife had a big Caesar salad with spicy grilled shrimp, preceded by a cup of tasty tomato bisque soup. I enjoyed their limited-time special of 3 courses for only $29. I had a crispy Caesar salad, an Asian-spiced grilled chicken bowl (fire-grilled chicken, sliced and spiced with a sauce and served in a bowl with white rice and crispy greens) which came with a side of Thai sweet pepper sauce, and finished with a delightful Huckleberry "jar pie," which was a cream cheese filling on top of a graham cracker crust and covered in berries and sauce. The dessert was small, but very tasty. The generous serving of crusty sourdough bread with herbed/whipped butter that came gratis was fantastic. Our server was simply great. The vibe on a Tuesday night was more quiet than usual, which meant it wasn't very loud ambient noise. Our table was at a window overlooking the marina right next to us. The tables are set without tablecloths for an informal feeling. In short... we really like this restaurant and will return often, particularly if they again offer a three course early bird dinner for $29!

Service was a little slow, the quinoa rice with the Fred's salmon was too salty so my wife didn't eat it.
