anthony's

...the tuna was fresh, but slightly oversauced. adam also ordered a cup of the clam chowder, which he quite liked

pretty good. the seafood is very good. unfortunately, it is often paired with drab side dishes like steamed rice pilaf and broccoli.
come during happy hour (it has great drink specials)
order the appetizers
avoid ahi tuna. i have ordered it 3 times and it has been overcooked each time. too bad.

all in all, i enjoy myself each time i go there

copper river salmon was awesome! great service as well! great views.

one of my favorite places. best fish tacos. i love getting the crab and shrimp dip but ask for chips instead so there's plenty of room for dinner. surf and turf night on sundays and practically robert of the place. great service and drinks as well. i love the open kitchen layout, show and dinner!

too bright. i love the food at anthony's homeport. it was so bright it hurt our eyes-the brilliant sun. at the restaurant in ballard they have filtering shades that still allow the sun to come in but does not allow the sun to hurt your eyes. i live on the eastside but i will drive to ballard for my meals at anthony's.

love the view, and service, from the restaurant, but the food is inconsistent. had the halibut, which was under seasoned, and over cooked. the mashed potatoes served with the halibut were gummy with lumps of potatoe, and green beans were not cooked. the blue cheese salad, with shrimp, was excellent. at $38 for the halibut, i give it 1 star, and the service 5 star.

ordered and totally enjoyed the cioppino special this evening: large chunks of fresh fish, mussels and more with a very nice tomato base.

service is very slow but friendly.

after having dined here more than 40-50 times in the past decade, i can honestly say that at least a third of those experiences were glaringly sub par...and fifteen bad meals here for an average of 4 people per visit means that thousands of dollars were unnecessarily wasted. moreover, almost all of these ruined meals could have been so easily avoided had management been even moderately vigilant. 

here are some examples: #1 several times we have visited when the restaurant was at less than 33% occupancy with tons of seating options, and the hostess sat us down right next to people with infants/young children...who inevitably started crying. in point of fact, in 2009, they did this to us when the only two parties at the place were us and a family with a baby! my friends felt incredibly guilty when we cast shame on that family by asking to be moved away from them...its not like it was their fault. that, in my opinion was inexcusable. #2 i often order the fish and chips, and anyone who knows about this dish understands that it must be served hot and crispy as opposed to letting it sit until luke warm and soggy. yet at least 50% of the time, i get it after it has sat a long time...several times i have actually had to hunt my waitress down to inform her that my fish is sitting and getting cold in plain sight on the counter. #3 there are many instances of poor hygiene. like a previous reviewer has stated, i have seen at the gentleman pouring water at tables with his fingers touching the rim of the glass time and time again, not only for us but for neighboring tables. several times i have even had them pick up my empty water glass with their finger all the way inside my glass in order to move it to my place setting when seating our party! this is inexcusable...even mcdonalds workers know not to do this. also, i have had waiters drag their sleeve over my food when reaching across the table. and one time when i asked for a straw the waiter handed it to me with his bare hand....if they are going to do this, why on earth don't they provide wrapped straws? #4 i get really bothered when i order a beer, and i see the bartender pour it right away, and then the waitress lets it sit for ten or so minutes until it is semi flat. this happens every single visit....without fail.

we have lived in the area for ten years and this was our first visit to anthony’s. the food was delicious and the view of lake washington is spectacular.

absolutely gorgeous view. nice atmosphere, but food is hit and miss. ordered grilled salmon twice - undercooked and poorly seasoned. favorites are crab fettuccine and seafood chop chop salad.

good happy hour great burger. have been twice now for the happy hour (which goes all evening, daily) and love the bar burger.
would love it more if happy hour had a good pinot noir 😊

have eaten at anthony's home port for the last 15 years. over the last 3 years the restaurant has continually declined in its service and the quality of the food. example: dined there this week. the tab: $100.00+ for two with wine. service was terrible. the food arrived almost cold and the potatoes were not cooked through. as a matter of fact one of the other staff people delivered the food for our server. my wife's food was over breaded and over salted. later that night we both suffered indigestion and heart burn ( not the nice type) from the food. it is always a sad time when a really, really good restaurant slips into a down turn. the anthony's in kirkland is a mess and we consider our meal at $100.00 + a real con to say nothing about the indigestion. john "a food critic with a heart."

the food was fantastic and so was the service. i'm not a huge cooked salmon fan, but the silver salmon was one of the best fish dishes i've ever had. the chowder was very good too.

had a great meal on a wonderful summer evening on their deck. had the island tower appetizer with salmon for dinner. everything was delicious.

incredibly slow service. no water for over ten minutes. no chance to order for at least 15 minutes. food ok
