anthony's took what had been a banquet room beneath the main restaurant in edmonds and turned it into a jam-packed, money-making machine. good, right? most of the time, but seating can take a while, it can be very noisy (inside) and service can be rushed. we like to go here, but frankly there aren't that many eateries in edmonds. our birthday meal for my wife the other night was noisy and confused, with several misunderstandings by staff that were stretched too thin. my seafood "chop chop" salad was underwhelming and uninspired. others in our party faired better with trout or the mahi mahi tacos. best time to go to the beach cafe is midweek got lunch. it's less noisy and the service is less frantic. recommended, but just. you'll spend more upstairs at the main restaurant, but you'll also have a view and impecable service.
