anthony's

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

service is very slow but friendly.

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

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 thenicetype) 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."

a racket restaurant. if you want aniceseafood dinner on the water in gigharbor, make a tuna sandwich at home and then walk the wharf. anthony's is the place for a mediocre meal with amateur service . except for the warm, crusty bread and sky high prices, the meal would be perfectly forgettable. we were not demanding, had no special requests, did not complain and the restaurant was not crowded. no excuses except premeditated con ... and we fell for it! enjoy the views without an anthony's menu!!!

amazing view, consistent food. from the outside, anthony's in kirkland looks like it could be an office building (and it does house a microsoft office i think), but go inside and the waterfront view is top-notch. i had the sockeye and it was perfectly done and we had crab cakes at the table that were tasty,niceclassic cocktails too. all in all, it was exactly what i thought it'd be - consistently good and amazing view.

terrible service/average food. this last sunday was my mother's 59th birthday, and we decided, despite the economy, to make it aniceevening out for her. you see, my father is currently being treated for cancer, with my mother acting as his faithful nurse, so we all felt she deserved a special night out. our family has dined at anthony's many times over the past 25 or so years, so the restaurant was not "new" to us. we had made a reservation for 6pm and, despite a virtually empty restaurant, we were asked to wait in the lobby for almost 10 minutes before we were seated. our party consisted of 6 adults, 2 children, and a toddler. once we were seated at our table, it was 10-15 minutes before our waitress came to ask what we would like to drink. she was unfriendly and disinterested... it took everything she had to squeak out a "you're welcome" in response to the "thank you"s we readily said. our food was ok, although the salads were very soggy, but our greatest disappointment came from anthony's discontinuation of their sourdough bread bowls, which have been replaced with a cheaper loaf. the wine glasses were filled less than halfway full (at over $6 per glass!), and we were never once offered a refill of our drinks by our waitress. anthony's has apparently also discontinued it's policy of offering free desserts to customers having birthdays, anniversaries, etc... which our waitress gave the "shocked" answer about when we asked her, saying she had never seen that "once in the years she'd been working there!" i informed her i was a former employee, and that i knew otherwise... the waitress then, because the bill was coming out and she knew she had offended, brought my 59 year old mother out a child's sundae (with a forced smile), in an attempt to gain our favor. but we all saw what her actions were, a desperate attempt to squeeze a decent tip out of a large party she had greatly disappointed. our family has decided to skip anthony's from now on... don't bother!!!
