Food was good but over priced...should not have to spend $120 for a meal for 2. Would not recommend if you're on a budget.

Went for our anniversary - we decided at last minute to have happy hour instead of dinner, and the drinks and appetizers were stellar - we had crab stuffed mushrooms and fried oysters with corn relish. (The corn was more like a garnish, there wasn't enough to really say it was oysters WITH the relish, but the oysters were delicious!) Service was terrific and to have validated parking downtown was a welcome bonus. Someday when the A-holes at ACHD stop all the ridiculous road construction downtown, we'll be back. Until then, I hope downtown restaurants survive the turmoil!

We have eaten at several Anthony's locations but my review is based on my recent visit to the Boise location. We actually picked Anthony's because I was craving a prawn cocktail. Unfortunately they don't have one on the menu right now. Our recent experience was in the bar area on a Saturday night. The service was attentive and the restaurant was super busy. We started with a shrimp salad and crab stuffed mushrooms. The best part of the salad was the blue cheese dressing - but the quantity of bay shrimp was disappointing. Next the 6 stuffed mushrooms were also very small and it was a challenge to find or taste any crab in the filling. We laughed and said wow, good margins on these items. I ordered the steak and half crab for my dinner entree. The crab was a quarter crab - not a half crab. I mentioned it to the server and he said, yes, that is a half crab. My half crab had 3 legs and no claw. (doesn't a crab have 5 legs on each side?). Steak and crab were both good Just a little underwhelming. Chardonnay was chilled and tasty although $108 for Rombauer is a little on the high side so we opted for the Decoy. Four stars for the service and 3 stars for the food experience

I had eaten once before at Anthony's and enjoyed a good meal as did the others at our table. This was for my grandson's birthday and I was excited for him. Our server was polite and as attentive as she could be on a relatively busy Friday evening. My granddaughter ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer and the server apologized for how small they were and said they were being comped because they were so small. That was a good point for Anthony's. I ordered the pan fried oysters. When they came, they were over breaded and over cooked. At least an eighth of my serving was clumps of breading with no oyster in them. The ones that did have oysters were overcooked and the breading so thick that it broke rather than accept a fork. Worse, the breading over powered the flavor of the oysters. I was not going to say anything, but my daughter in law looked up from her plate of oysters and said, "Well, that was under whelming." When it came time for dessert, my daughter in law apologized and said my grandson had another event to go to. After the waitress left, she told us the dinner was so under whelming she did not want to chance the dessert. I don't know what has happened in the last couple of years since I last ate there, but I suspect neither I nor my son's family will be returning.

So so good. The food was delicious and staff was simply wonderful.

The worst waitress in my life served us tonight. We expected a good experience but the waitress ruined it for our family. The food was just ok, would not go back again. Don't waste your time or money going to this place.

Great first visit for my wife and I and did not disappoint. Great food, atmosphere, and service. Shout out to Jasmine C for facilitating an exceptional experience.

Talk about service! These guys were amazing. We went for our Anniversary and they definitely made it special. The food was wonderful. To start, we got the crab dip and it was pretty good. Could use more crab but was tasty. Then we got the house special (Oscar cut steak topped with crab) and the lobster fettuccine. Everything was cooked to perfection and phenomenal. The drinks were great and stronger than some other places, so that was a plus. Then our sweet waitress surprised us with a Bailey's chocolate mousse and my god....that stuff was amazing. The restaurant itself was cozy but fancy and definitely made the experience more enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

The rainbow trout was delicious. I loved the rice pilaf and the flavors too. My boyfriend had fish tacos and they were cooked beautifully. I ordered crème brûlée for dessert and it was magnificent. Highly recommend this place for a date!

Ate at Anthony's yesterday. All three of us ordered different items. All three dishes were excellent. Great flavors cooked correctly and very nicely presented. Service was great. This is a beautiful spot great ambiance. Very nice bar as well. We have never been disappointed here. Parking is great once you figure it out. Highly recommend this restaurant. Prices are reasonable for what you get
Went here for a late lunch and had horrible service so we left. Waited for a table and then when we finally got seated, no one came to get us water or anything. After 15 mins, we left. There were only a few tables filled. I realize staffing is a challenge, but communication is key!

I'm a lifelong seafood lover, so I've wanted to dine at this restaurant for quite some time. We visited recently for our anniversary to enjoy a special dinner. I'll start with the good: The parking was easy to find. The garage was clean and well-lit. The restaurant was beautifully appointed, though lacked some of the nautical flair of a seafood establishment. Our server, when she was around, was friendly. The pan-fried Willapa Bay oysters were terrific. (This is the first time anyone has asked me how I would like fried oysters cooked.) And the bad: Our server was almost never present. Throughout our wait, she maybe checked on us twice. (More about the wait later.) Aside from my entree, none of the food we ordered was served as ordered. For example, my spouse's meal came with onions on the steak and onions in the vegetable medley. He specifically asked that no onions be served. My oysters arrived, but I did not receive the vegetables. The clam chowder was nearly devoid of clams. (And we were there early -- was the chowder left over from yesterday?) Then the ugly: We arrived before 5pm to enjoy the Sunset Dinner special. The restaurant was almost completely empty when we arrived. So it was a complete surprise to be waiting over an hour between our appetizer/soup/bread and the arrival of our entrees. We were very nearly deciding to leave when they finally arrived -- and were wrong, to boot! When our dessert FINALLY arrived, the server wished my husband a "Happy Birthday." Perfect way to top off our mistake of a night. We don't plan to return.

The food itself was good: 4 + stars. It tasted fresh, not overcooked or dry, not poorly seasoned. My husband had the dungeness crab to relive our years in Gig Harbor "trapping" our own, while I had the Lobster pasta dish. I liked that the lobster tail was set on top of the pasta, to allow me to eat it separately. The pasta was also very good and a large portion. The waitress was the right amount of attentive: not solicitous, but who kept an eye on our progress: refilling waters ,bringing more lemons, and knowing when we were ready for the bill. I gave the restaurant - 4 stars from a lack of available ambiance due to loud patrons seated nearby: Anthony's staff kindly reseated us after our first table was near a very raucous group who had been libating there for quite some time.... but then at our second table, the guy right next to us was obviously trying to impress his date and he never stopped boasting about himself LOUDLY enough to have to hear his life story for an entire hour. We gave up on holding our own conversation. We aren't typically bothered by "people sounds" around us, but this did make us re-evaluate whether we would ever go back again for a "nice evening out."

Went here for a birthday dinner. The restaurant is very nice, food was good, prices are relatively fair and the staff was very nice. Convenient they have a private elevator right from the parking structure to their front entrance. Great spot!

The food was BAD, Salmon was dry, rice was undercooked and zero seasoning. The prawns were dry and stuck to the plate. Clam chowder was cold and undercooked. The staff was very friendly, but couldn't answer questions regarding the wines. The Ambiance was nice and they do have free underground parking.
