We had another great meal at Anthony's in Gig Harbor. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the food was amazing. Love their clam chowder and the Surf and Turf is excellent. Always a great place to go.

Had a great time with the family. Came here on a Monday for a birthday. It was very quiet, given that it was a Monday, and we were sat right away. Everyone was courteous. Our server was Joseph who was polite, very accommodating, and checked on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. One of my sons asked for more cheese on his cheeseburger (it had pretty much all melted off or into the meat before we got it) and Joseph took it to the back to have it fixed. We said it was ok to just bring a slice and we would be ok but he insisted to have it fixed. That was great. My youngest son’s quesadilla was pretty fried and also lacked cheese but we didn’t say anything about it. Joseph and the manager Seacrest recognized that the two items were subpar and took them off the bill on their own. That’s probably the first time a restaurant has ever demonstrated self-awareness and self corrected. Really great customer service. The food was good, good portions and well prepared minus the two items above but again they resolved that without an ask. The music was all top hits too and playing just loudly enough to enjoy and not overpower conversations. Overall everyone enjoyed their time. This location is really well run. It was our first time even though we have lived here for 3 years and we will definitely be back and recommend to others.

We wanted a good salad with a variety of toppings so we decided to try Texas de Brazil. The greens were very fresh and they have a wonderful selection of toppings. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re interested in a salad meal that’s filling. The staff is very professional and always there to help. It definitely is not an inexpensive salad but a very good one.
