anthony's restaurant and fish bar

seafood... need i say anymore? i will, so first the downside it's in an airport, so it is expensive. now the upside, it's seafood. setting at the bar,servicewas quick and staff very friendly. the clam chowder was great as was the deep fried oysters. it's worth the stop, it's good seafood stop and try it.

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 slowserviceand 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. the restaurant is 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!

nice airport alternative. we ate here at around 9:30 pm in the bar. i thought theservicewas a tad slow but not bad. i don't think this is a good choice if you are in a rush but we had an hour and a half to kill. we had tempura prawns and garlic prawns. the garlic prawns were excellent but the tempura prawns were a on the heavy breaded greasy side but good enough for airport food. i found the ambiance in the bar to be very pleasant and enjoyed our microbrews. we also enjoyed the special huckleberry desserts that were offered which were quite a treat for an airport meal.

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,servicewas 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 slowservicethere (first time was for lunch). they seem to think that people who dine in a restaurant at an airport must have incredibly ample time to kill...

let's not get into a panic people, this is a great seafood place operated in a very busy airport. that said, the food is really good and theserviceis 90% of the time good as well especially at the bar. the mahi mahi tacos are a great deal to fill up before a flight. just keep in mind that you have a bunch of hms union cooks preparing the food, not anthinys typical staff in their restaurants

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 the restaurantservicemanager 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.

fresh and fast. i fly through seatac regularly, and always try to leave 30 minutes for the fish tacos at anthony's . fresh, light and delicious. that said, i really don't like the chowder - very heavy flour thickened sauce and tasteless rubbery fish. it's amazing these come from the same kitchen.
good selection of beers and, with the exception of one recent visit,serviceis quick and efficient - just what you need before your next flight.

anthony's restaurant. i've flown out of sea-tac many times, and eat at anthony's whenever i can. i love to sit at the bar, their fish and chips are very good, well presented and theservicehas always been good. not your typical airport food, at all.
