Well the counter girl Laur was awesome but unfortunately the crab "bisque" was crab water. Absolutely gross. The soup was not made properly or is being heated way too high thru the day reducing the soup and "breaking" it as we say in the culinary world. $20 for 2 bowls and just horrible. Girls were very nice when I called back and hopefully i can get a refund or a better soup next time.

service was outstanding. food was outstanding. i will be returning. we ordered bang bang shrimp [comes with 5 jumbo shrimp, I ate one, haha], parmesan crusted cod, truffle scallops, and a crab cake. I've been eating sea food all my life and this place is easily in my top 3!

MY FIRST TRADE EXPERIENCE. I’m not going to lie when I first decide to go with them I was super nervous. not knowing and totally trusting someone you never meet with your money was scary but that was the best decision I’ve made and I risk it!! Take the risk and you'll thank me later. I’m so pleased with my business plan the process was super easy and only took a week turnaround he kept me updated step by step until he was finished and the finished plan was everything I didn’t know I needed, he does the research for you a very detailed and informative well laid out business plan I would highly recommend thank you a million! now i can proudly say i'm financially buoyant, my last trade profit was $22,700. I have been trading and i will keep on trading with Mrs SHEILA BRATTON Watsapp : +1(510)224-4372 Email: [email protected]

We wanted to try a different restaurant tonight but was unable to without reservations. We knew Anthony’s was close by and is always great! We took a shot to see if they could sneak the two of us in. Although they were definitely busy they sat us in ten minutes at a great table by the front window. We started with a special appetizer of fried whole belly clams that were excellent. It’s not too often you will see them on anyones menu. I had a cup of combination clam chowder and crab bisque. A slight kick and sooo good. Salads next. I had the Tuscan seafood pasta special that was out of this world and it could have fed three! My wife had the parmigian encrusted cod, also excellent. Our waitress, Delaney, was super attentive and always had a big smile and a great sense of humor! . Just two two suggestions. The salad was excellent but came out on warm plates. Chill them or at least make sure they cool down after washing before plating . And the biggest thing is they need a much better AC system! It was actually cooler outside!! Other than that we would will definitely be back. Btw… not sure if he was the owner/chef but a very nice man came out asking how everything was. We said great!! Hope this helps with the AC situation. People were fanning themselves with their menus!!

The food is delicious and the staff couldnt be more pleasant. Have eaten there 3 times and have not been disappointed. Takeout is very good also but cannot compare to eating in. (Kudos to the staff on the large takeout order placed, entrees, sides and all sauces/dressing was in the bag, nothing missing!)

Food was fantastic! Chef Scott did a wonderful job recommending the specials and creating the meals. The smoked pinapple dessert was a tasty finish. Great attentive service, top notch meals.

Not one to complain about food. Food was terrible, service was just as bad. Overcooked food. Scallops we're rubbery. Cod was not fresh. Rossoto was terrible. Would not recommend. Save your money. Food was completely overpriced. $100 wasted

First time there tonight! Fried oysters, fish tacos, and the seafood bisque was all fantastic! Looking forward to the next time. Our waitress Emily was great and gave a complete overall of her favorite menu items! Great experience

Overall, the food and service was amazing! Dalaney was so friendly and attentive, such a great server. We ordered the Prime Rib with Crabmeat and the Seafood Tuscan Pasta. We were very surprised at the portion and the flavor! Prime rib was cooked perfect and the seafood for the pasta was spot on!! We usually do takeout but the in house experience was great!!! Definitely recommend enjoying the service and food at the restaurant!!

Wonderful staff and Amazing chef! The scallop risotto is a very innovative and clever dish where the rice is substituted for corn succotash, and the scallops are seared to perfection, having that "buttery- melt in your mouth" bite. The monk fish was also the best I've ever had! This is 100% a go-to place, I can't wait to visit again!

Myself, my brother, and his friend went there for dinner, last night(Friday). This was my 2nd time there. My first time there everything was great. Unfortunately this time, not so good.We had a reservation for outside. We were seated at our tables, 2 round tables put together. First thing we noticed was the amount of rust on the tables. If they're going to be that rusty, at least put a table cloth over them.I ordered the Parmesan crusted Cod with pesto sauce, came with a side of balsamic cherry tomatoes also with pesto, and a side of Risotto. The Cod was dry, and the pesto was bitter. I could tell it came out of a jar, and they just smeared in on both the fish and tomatoes, without heating it up. The Risotto had the consistency of lumpy oatmeal, as well as being pretty bland.One other thing that irritated us was when we asked about the specials, we were told that they were on the blackboard inside the restaurant. Why wouldn't the servers be trained to know the specials by heart, or at least have them written down? Just saying.

Visiting the area for the first time to visit friends, how this place received 4.5 is beyond me, the Risotto was NOT Risotto the Monk Fish was overcooked and bland, add to that the Cod with Parmesan was in edible. I will never return here, We went to the Captain Table bear by and had an excellent meal

Just stopped in for an Early dinner while out for a cruise. My wife and I really enjoyed our meals. She had the Salmon with Mango Salsa and I the Seared Scallops with home made succotash. The dishes were perfectly cooked and tasty. The new chef Scott did a great job preparing our meals. Cooking fish is easy to overcook. Chef Scott only seared them on one side that tell me he knows his way around a pan. The service was great. It was pleasant sitting outside on a nice day in the early afternoon before the crowded evening. BYOB is the way to go for me too. Good portions and pricing. Great value. Good luck to the new Chef. Will be going back.

I really can’t recommend. Long story. Food was bland in my opinion and the service was ok. After we were seated-Watched a couple come in with a stroller and they were told that there was a 30 minute wait. They left, baby in tow. Another couple came in right behind them and had no reservation and were seated at one of the two empty tables. Maybe she (hostess/owner) didn’t feel like dealing with a stroller and a baby in that small venue. Who knows. We went in with no reservation and our name was taken and we were told 2O mins. We walked out and came back in 10 minutes and the woman asked us if we were being helped. She didn’t recognize us from 10 minutes ago. She asked if we had a reservation and we said yes. She looked flabbergasted and seemed shocked that our name was in the book. (The book that she wrote it down in 10 minutes ago) She proceeded to seat us right away at one of the two tables that had been open the entire time.
