Came with a party of 12, the service was very attentive and great. The food was delicious, and we tried the clam chowder in the sourdough bowl as well as other various items from the dinner menu - everyone was satisfied except for one soggy piece of fish as part of a fish and chips meal. Would definitely come again! Kid-friendliness: child friendly menus included as well as those little crayons with the coloring sheet.
My mother in law was in town and she enjoys Anthony's food and ambiance. Anthony's Fish Grotto is a favorite place to take our out of town guests for dinner as they have a unique dining area overlooking the small lake behind the restaurant, brings a very tropical and "vacationish" feel. Staff was very friendly, our Server greeted us warmly and we were enjoying our wine & craft beer in no time. Dinner was of course - seafood - and it was delicious!! The evening was so fulfilling and my mom-in- law enjoyed this as she's already thinking of coming back on her next trip to San Diego.
The view was great, food was excellent and our waitress was nice and prompt. We were immediately seated at 530pm on a Thursday night. There were a lot of people here by the time we left. The crowd here was primarily middle aged and up with the exception of the creep and his escort sitting one table away. Unfortunately hearing their conversation was almost stomach turning. ???? everything else about the restaurant was good. I had a blackberry mojito which was very strong and good. I wanted the shark but they were actually out. So I ended up getting the mamgo halibut and a baked potatoe with the seasonal veggies. The veggies were undercooked in my opinion but everything else was excellent. The keylime pie was so good as well. The total bill was over a $100 for Chinese goals but it was probably worth it
