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

Pisces Restaurant features coastal cooking with a Mediterranean flair. Our menu is a celebration of all things seasonal featuring mostly Cape Cod's native seafood as well as a variety of non seafood options. This is a Chef owned restaurant that is well know for its light fresh cooking style and a menu that changes often. Favorite dishes include sautéed calamari, lobster corn chowder, risotto, seared rare tuna, cornmeal crusted cod and a killer ribeye steak! Warm rosemary foccacia and famous desserts are made in house. Our carefully selected wine list is designed to compliment our cuisine and offers over 20 wines by the glass, craft and local beers as well as classic and creative cocktails. Local art is carefully displayed throughout the cozy dining room where there is an intimate 7 seat bar. Pisces is open seasonally, so plan to stop in between April and Columbus Day weekend. Reservations are highly recommended and limited as many guests book well in advance.

Loved everything about our experience at Pisces, it was our first time which is surprising because apparently the restaurants been around for 30 years. Met the chef/owner who was lovely and were made aware of several servers who had been there for 20+ years, which was impressive. All the food was lovely, but a shout out to the lemon Parmesan salad, the tuna steak, and we can’t forget the Keylime pie! We will be back!

New Bedford

About the restaurant

Serving fresh, bold and innovative food that reflects the history of New Bedford and celebrates the New Bedford fishermen, their catch and their culture.

Our menu focuses on local fishermen’s catch of the day, old school seafood favorites and a sprinkling of modern seafood interpretations. Menu ranges from raw bar, to warm and cold lobster rolls, baked cod, bacon wrapped scallops, bouillabaisse and grilled NY Strip.

Large bar and spectacular views of the artful New Bedford Fishing Fleet. Large covered and heated deck overlooking the fishing boats and harbor. Centrally located beside the Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Ferries. Large parking lot.

And, of course, the hospitality is second to none. Service is what built the business.
