anthony's restaurant and fish bar

"seattle is known for fresh seafood, pan-asian and northwest fare, stunning water, city views and friendly neighborhood hospitality." - nwsource.com i've eaten almost seafood everyday during my visit to seattle - from sauteed manila clams and mussels at salty's to a seafood brunch at the lobster shop south. it was my last day in seattle, and i was strolling through sea-tac airport. i came across a seafood spot called " anthony'srestaurant." the menu featured fish tacos, salad with shrimp and fish n' chips. there were three types of fish 'n' chips - salmon, cod, and halibut - reasonably priced - from $6.99 to $9.99. i never had fried salmon, so i went for that. amazing! i was served 3 pieces of salmon fried in tempura batter resting on a bed of chips. the tempura batter was excellent - not too "doughy" not too oily. makes me want to try frying salmon at home. posted by denise at 11:56 email this

anthony's occupies a large chunk of real estate and it seemed just about every table was taken, both in the dine-inrestaurantas well as in the fish bar area. rockfish taco.   i haven't been too enamored

now this is airport food!. as the table next to me was leaving one said "that's the best airport food i've ever had!" i agreed as soon as mine was done. it started out with slow service and i saw two other tables anxious for their bill, but i had at least an hour to kill. the chowder bread bowl and caesar salad was the perfect simple ending to a long day. there was the usual great variety i know to expect from anthony's but i didn't indulge this time. the chowder tasted freshmade, not reconstituted like you find at an ivar's walk-up bar. therestaurantis bigger than it looks from the entry. a seat along the glass wall at the back is quiet and unique, i haven't seen this in other airport restaurants. highly recommended!

awesome. this is the bestrestaurantin an airport i have ever encountered. the food is just superb, good selection of wines and the staff is (usually) attentive and friendly. when i fly to seattle it is always as stop over to or from the san juan islands and i always schedule my flights so i can eat at anthony's. i love the cioppino!
my only gripe is that i wish they would carry gluten free bread. since they don't i try to remember to take my own!

this is maybe the bestrestaurantin any airport that i have found. the food is has always been superb. the seasonal specials have always been a great choice. if you want fresh halibut without going to alaska, this is your place.

slow service, awful food. on our last trip out of sea-tac, we took a 8:30 flight. we left our house without eating breakfast thinking we can get a decent (our expectation is generally not that high) breakfast at the airport. anthony's, being in the main section of the airport was our obvious choice with two hungry kids. we ordered scrambled egg with bacon, which from our seats we can see stacked pre-cocked. scrambled egg have a distinct flavor, which our kids (generally good eaters in a restaurant) refused to eat, saying this egg smells funny. as it turned out, the egg they use for scrambled egg has garlic (and cheese) premixed. even for me, the egg taste with a strong garlic flavor. we are disappointed with the food. also, service was quite slow. i had to ask a refill of coffee. no update for the food. it took almost 30 min. before food was served (we were seated at 7:00am and food arrived almost at 7:30am). we basically ate half of the food (luckily, our kids did not want to finish food!) and had to leave for the gate. don't go there if we only have one hour before the flight. this is actually 2nd time i experienced slow service there (first time was for lunch). they seem to think that people who dine in arestaurantat an airport must have incredibly ample time to kill...

customer and frequent traveler. i have eaten at anthony's for over 30 years. i was recently very disturbed that 3 very small pieces of fish and chips constituted a $20.00 price tag. the lettuce was also wilted in my cold slaw and the management told me that therestaurantservice manager was unavailable (it was 3:30 p.m.) and that "nobody on site was responsible for portioning". in addition, i was told that there was no customer satisfaction card available to submit comments.
frankly, i expect more from a meal of this price.
