As usual Anthony’s is top of the line. I have been here many, many times and have never been disappointed. Their food is top quality, prepared by magnificent chefs and the service can’t be beat. Every time I have company from out of town this is the first place I bring them. It is also one of the best views in town, you simply can’t be unhappy coming here!
