Seated in a reasonable amount of time, great server contact, wine list was good- could use a better-quality of wines by the glass. Enjoyed beautiful seats next to 'pond' (great ambiance), with a feeling of separation from other patrons and still checked frequently by waitress. Food was very good, especially having the 'Combo Plates' for variety. Also, cannot forget the wonderful dessert (Z.Cake...

The prices were a little high for what you got. The fish and chips were pretty average and the French fries were below average. They don't have the good bread that they used to serve, just a in rolls. Our server was very nice.

I have been going to this Anthony's since it opened in the 60's. It really could use some refreshing as it is showing it's age. The food is still great and it is fun to meet old friend's there to reminisce about "the good old days"! I also like that they never hurry us to leave when there visiting!
