We had a wonderful experience for dinner. Their affogato espresso martini was so delicious. Fresh oysters, amazing risotto, filet was cooked perfectly and we also had their garlic fries. Would recommend for a nice dinner out whether you’re local, visiting, or hosting.

This is the last The Keg in the Seattle area. It is the original high quality affordable steakhouse that used to have multiple locations around here. The classic bacon wrapped filets were juicy, tender and perfectly cooked to order. The lobster bisque, crab cakes and salads were all enjoyed by our family. I don’t know another steak house in these high inflationary times where two couples can get this quality for under $50 a person. Five stars across the board in my opinion. Thanks to the owner and entire staff for a wonderful dining experience.

Anthony’s in Edmonds is a wonderful place. My wife & I have been there once before about 5 years ago. I really like the location above the little harbor next to the Edmonds/ Kingston Ferry dock. The food was great and the service was great. We were on a little vacation to see our children & granddaughter in Oregon and then to visit our nephew & his family in Seattle. The hotel we stayed at off of Aurora Drive, Hwy 99 was nice also. That dinner at Anthony’s really capped off a great trip.

Walking into the restaurant one feels a sence of understated elegance and comfort. From the music to the excellent service the experience is delightful. One time we went into the restaurant and requested a table, know knowing it wasn’t open yet, the waitress checked with the kitchen and they opened for us. We keep going back especially for important occasions.

This is a wonderful place to eat a beautiful meal. Our waiter, Phil, was great tonight. Try the mac and cheese with crab, the steak, the fish and chips and the cauliflower. Don’t leave without the chocolate creme brulle or cheesecake. We have gone back, taken friends and family, and Hook and Clever is consistently fabulous.

We truly enjoyed our meal, but especially loved the cordial and attentive service from our wait staff - callouts to Lucas and Nick. It was a lovely date night for my husband and I!
