Anthony’s iconic location has been a family favorite for decades. The Athanas family’s sons are still doing a wonderful job. It was a quiet late afternoon birthday celebration for my mother and it was lovely. The baked stuffed lobster was delicious and the body was full of meat. The popovers were steamy and delicious. Even the appetizers (calamari and fried clams) were great!

About the restaurant
A spectacular oceanfront restaurant featuring fresh local cuisine - lobsters, swordfish, clams, scallops, seasonal fin fish, steaks, and salads. Constructed of wood taken from ship wrecks and boards from old buildings, Landfall"s dining room is authentic Cape Cod. Your table is directly over the water. Serving lunch and dinner. Celebrating our 77th season. We will attempt to accommodate specific table requests, but they are not guaranteed. If Open Table says we are full. Most time we have room.

About the restaurant
Nestled along the scenic Charles River in historic Cambridge, Monteverdi features two bars, elegant dining spaces, and a patio with sweeping views of the city. While Monteverdi brags a premiere location and picturesque backdrop the real star is Chef Hector's exceptional Italian cuisine paired with expertly crafted cocktails and extensive regional wine offerings. Monteverdi combines authentic flavors with modern flair. A versatile venue to grab a casual meal, host a private dinner, or celebrate one of life’s special moments. Whether you're indulging in one of our fresh pasta dishes, enjoying the raw bar, or sipping on a bespoke cocktail, the stunning riverfront and skyline views add a touch of magic to every visit.

One of, if not the, best patios and views in Boston. Everybody we encountered was great, the service was fantastic: friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Lobster ravioli was delicious and the cocktails were terrific. I will be coming back soon and recommending often.

Salem
About the restaurant
Surrounded by windows overlooking the Salem Harbor, Finz offers guests lively waterfront scenery in a comfortable open concept interior. Of particular note is the 40 seat bar which flows from dining room to lounge, floor to ceiling nautical wall, hand painted lobster octopus mural, open style kitchen and built-in raw and sushi bars. In warmer months, the outdoor patio dining along the water is superb, with spots in the shade or the sun to enjoy a libation or light bites. With events centered around local arts, Finz is the place to experience Salem.

Went for lunch and enjoyed the views and open windows. Pretty decor. Very attentive wait staff and management who worked with food allergies for those in our party. Food was great and will return.
