I enjoyed our visit to Anthony's. There were some missteps and issues, but all in all it was a good meal. First, they get busy, so I highly recommend a reservation (they do have a bar but that seemed to fill up quickly). Inside, it's well laid out, plenty of space and tables. It looks great. The service was very good the entire time. We didn't wait on anything and our server always seemed to know when we did need something. They serve a good semolina bread with sesame seeds, the olive oil they bring out has seasoning in it. That's typically not my thing, let the olive oil speak (if it's good) but it worked. For apps, we ordered the fried green tomatoes with lump crab, the stuffed long hots, eggplant parmagiana, and the grande meatball. Meatballs are my favorite; these didn't disappoint. They are large, not tough, and well seasoned. The salad they came with made no sense, but it is what it is. The long hots were stuffed with sausage and had a kick, but that's the fun part about long hots. They were very good. The fried green tomatoes and eggplant were mediocre. Both dishes lacked flavor. For the entree, I ordered the veal chop, and while I'm not sure if there are many other served in SIC (they claim "the best in the city"), this was great. It's old school, but it was cooked perfectly and seasoned even better. I crushed it. There was a side of mixed vegetables and potatoes, which were not good. Undercooked, likely made ahead of time, held and scooped out when needed. A few strange things: they have multiple tomato sauces, and they served two different versions of the sauce on the same pasta at our table. One was chunkier and good, the other was runny and flavorless. Second, they upcharge for any changes...if you want a different pasta noodle with a dish, it was $8 more. While I would understand if they were serving high-end fresh pasta, they're not; it's simply a money grab. But even with those issues, it was good. I'll go back next time I'm there and stick to the veal chop...because that was really good. read more

Five out of six were happy with their meals. The one unhappy one her fillet was forgotten, and her sub substitute meal was cold. Three of us ordered Veal Parmesan and we got chicken. I must say the chicken was good. The waitress was friendly not sure who was responsible for the bobble. We also know that having a restaurant open only on the weekend isn't the smoothest. Anthony's it's a nice place and I probably would give it another try. read more

The best of the best in Sea Isle! Go Anthony and Gina! Fabulous sea food, steaks, and cocktails. Best meal I've had in Sea Isle - ever! Service, table, drinks, entrees and desserts - all superb. (Tip: take the quieter dining room on the left if looking for a pleasant table to converse). Overall, great job Gina!!! read more

Not so great. We waited 20 minutes to be seated for our 630pm reservation. Bland sauce. It would be nice to have some olive oil in the dishes. My eggplant was ok but tasteless. The bread brought to the table was fine but it would have been nice to have been served warm. Service was adequate. Our server was good but the bus staff was a bit lost as our mains were brought and appetizer dishes were still scattered about the table. We did get a nice bottle of Chianti. The espresso at the end was good. Ambiance is unchanged from prior owners. A decent place for a meal at the shore but not fine dining by any means. A bit disappointing for us as we dined at the other location last year and it was noticeably better. We will check out other places when in Sea Isle again. Nancy & Mark. read more

I was at Anthony's last night. The restaurant was cold. Consequently, the bread was cold and the meal was cold. Would suggest warming bread and heating plates before serving. pp from Aston, PA read more

Beautiful trendy restaurant, a bit pricey. Tables are very tight when seating 4 people. Dessert offerings were wonderful. Entree selection interesting and mostly very good, however, all the dishes we ordered were swamped in a bland white sauce that was over the top too much and masked the true taste of our entrees (which were all different) but the sauce was the same. I had veal Oscar which had lots of veal and lump crab but the sauce was way too much, very bland, and glassy looking from the thickening agent. Chef needs help with elevating and diverifying his white sauce if it will be served on so many dishes. All that said, I would most likely go back again because I really liked the look and feel of Anthony's. read more

Everything was delicious. They also have a great bar. My favorite restaurant in Sea Isle.

Service was excellent. The food was delicious. Would definitely recommended this place. Ok forward to going back & bringing friends & family. read more

Website said it was open on Monday. So we ubered down there and it was closed. Why? Don't know. Social media sites and phone message said were closed Tuesday, not Monday. For a supposed elite establishment they need to do a better job of updating their phone message and website. Poor job. Do better next time. read more

One of the best places I have eaten at all summer. Went there 3 times on my vacation in fact. A great meal was had everytime. Looking forward to going back soon! read more

I ordered eggplant Parmesan for takeout. This was the best I ever had. I travel and eat out a lot. Thank you so much for such an excellent experience read more

Astonishing. We live local and this was our first time at Anthony's this year. We ate at the bar twice last year and it was good. Tonight we had a reservation for 2 at 6:30 pm. We checked in at 6:15 pm and the young lady at the desk seemed to be in a daze. After i questioned her that she had my reservation, she said yes, and she had us "checked in". We were lucky to get a seat at the bar. The bartenders are excellent. We ordered and ate. Our appetizer, long hots, was good. We both had specials. Me the crab pasta special and him the seafood special. Both lacked flavor and the crab pasta was drowing in sauce so it was more like a soup. Our check came to more than $200. We tipped the bartender well. She was great. When we walked out, I again checked in with the hostess to let her know 1)we ate and 2) she never sat us at a table. She seemed to be either stoned or just really dumb or just so poorly trained. She looked confused and when I challenged her that she never sat us she said "we feed 500 people here a night, if you wanted to be seated, you should have come back and told me." So here's our perspective. We don't expect greatness. Its hard for restaurants at the NJ shore. But for heavens sake, make the food have flavor and teach your hostesses to have a personality and have a clue as to what their jobs are!!! Yikes, there's a lot of Italian restaurants in Sea Isle, this one, even thought its around the corner from our house, will be last on our list for a while. PS...we had gift certificates so we didn't pay anything for our drinks/meal. So that's how bad it was that I was compelled to write this review. read more

Great food and drinks. I love having a good restaurant towards the end of sea isle. Server and hosts were nice as well! However, definitely overpriced for some of the drinks and food. I went with one other person and between our food and drinks we racked up a pretty big bill which just isn't my cup of tea, but to each their own! Price aside, good place to go. Nice atmosphere as well. read more

Wow! Been to Anthony's many times at the other location and it was great- this did not disappoint. New building is great, food is fantastic, service was awesome. Billy was an incredible server! read more

Second visit to the new location in sea isle. First visit, service was really terrible, food ok - say a B-. Second visit, service was good and food was a D. Mediocre but a nice bar for a cocktail and an app. Dinner - not so much. read more

We ordered take-out. Everything was delicious. The Gnocchi with Rosa sauce was super! We did not receive any bread or sides, I'm not sure if that is normal or if it was a slip up; so if you want bread or a side salad, make sure you ask/order it. I'll definitely be ordering again. Thank you! read more

I had high hopes for this place. However the drinks and food were not great. I ordered a beet salad and it was overdressed with literally four pieces of sliced beets. Also, ordered the chicken Stephen and the sauce was so sweet I couldn't eat it. Maybe it was just an off day today. The margarita was just average. read more

Mediocre at best. No seasoning on anything, seated us in the banquet room when we had 8pm reservations, sat us at a table that was not set until we sat down, ran out of water glasses and gave us plastic cups but there were at least 10 dozen glasses behind us that were left from an event earlier that day. Sent one dish back it was so bad. Lazy chef and lazy staff. Unaceptable for a $450+ meal with friends. read more

Yet another Italian restaurant in Sea Isle City. Average at best. We went about a week ago and while the bar is really nice (and the highlight) we found the menu was very limited. Maybe that will change as the summer progresses and possibly even match the menu of their PA location. Personally we found the orange tomato sauce to be a real turnoff especially since it was pretty much tasteless. I found the pasta to be over cooked. A lot of folks love this place but we were underwhelmed. If you are looking for Italian there are at least three other places in Sea Isle that are better choices albeit they don't have bars. read more

Made a last minute reservation for seven and they accommodated us. Thank you. We were seated outside, I do not recommend it, it was too noisy so please ask to be seated inside. Serve was slow!! Blame it on covid I guess. When the food came our sides were delivered late. I had the New York strip it was cooked perfectly and I liked the gravy on top. Kids both loved the chicken parmigiana. My father in law had the gnocchi with meatballs. Served with only 2 meatballs More gnocchi than meatballs. A suggestion would be to add one more meatball and reduce the gnocchi. Too expensive for what you get. All in all the food was ok. A bit in the high end. For the seven out bill was 300.00 without having any alcohol. They do not sell alcohol there. Food was a little bland needs more flavor. Overall a three star experience. read more

We decided to go to Anthony's in SIC on Father's Day, at the last minute. We were fortunate enough to get a table at the bar. I can't taste food, as well as being a pescatarian, so I'm particular about my food, and needing textures. I ordered jumbo lump crab cakes. Expecting chunks of crab... unfortunately it was 99% shredded crabmeat. My husband's meal had lump crab on it, so he gave it to me because he felt bad for me. The service was very good, the staff very friendly, the ambiance was beautiful! read more

Excellent highly recommend. The corn risotto, and tomatoes were spectacular. The baked clams were good but wouldn't order again. The halibut made me dance and the crab cakes were pure crab read more

Apps, salads and entrees for all our party of 5 were Really good! Staff was attentive and friendly! We had special fried tomatoes, ceasar salad, meatballs clams casino (probably the best I ever had) for appetizers. Entrees were eggplant parmigiana, stuffed shrimp, bronzino, seafood Diablo and veal. All were excellent! read more

Great as always. Same great food as in PA and the shore decor is a nice touch. Service was great and we will be back!

The crab stuffed shrimp were massive and delicious. High quality crab meat was great. The branzino was expertly cooked, crispy outside, flaky inside with a nice risotto to compliment it. The fried Jersey tomatoes were amazing. The eggplant parm app was tasty, but refrigerator cold in the middle. Service was quick and our waitress, Gina was accommodating and nice. Seating was a little tight, but everyone was friendly. Totally reasonable prices. read more

Veal parm rivals Chef Volas. Pounded so thin you can cut it with a fork. Also enjoyed the Jersey fried tomatoes as an app. Service was excellent for a very busy summer Saturday night. Make reservations weeks in advance to assure getting a table. read more

Had a recent dinner at Anthony's. Drinks were fine, salads were fine, dinner was uneven and went down from there. My Veal Oscar was served hot and was delicious. My wife's Veal Parmigiana was lukewarm at best as was the side pasta. We pointed that out to the server who apologized and said they'd bring a new dinner. It came out again and had been reheated causing the parmigiana cheese to harden and brown. Manager came over and said to bear with them as they had lost staff due to being end of summer season. Not an excuse for presentation of food. read more

The food here was absolutely delicious! We had the Shrimp Lejon and Fried Tomato (special) appetizers and the Chicken Stephen and the Veal Saltimbocca entrees. Wow! My husband said it was probably the best Saltimbocca he's ever had. Our appetizers and entrees were so enjoyable that we ordered dessert. The lemon cake was perfect! We never waited for anything because our server, Amy, anticipated our needs and had it for us before we asked. We would recommend and can't wait to go back. read more

What a lovely experience! It has a modern, classy vibe inside and the food is delectable. Our server was excellent and friendly too. Easily one of the best restaurants in Sea Isle and it's BYOB. read more

Had Dinner at Anthonys Sea Isle City NJ. Gnocchi with meatballs, the food came out and it was cold . Our waitress graciously took my food back . In a little bit she returned with the meal, It was lukewarm. I-tried to eat it , however lukewarm gnocchi is not appealing. I told the waitress and she said , she would get the Manager . The waitress checked back, but the manager never showed. Waitress eventually came back and offered a free desert , or take the meal off the bill. Everyone at my table thought how unacceptable it was for the Manager not to come and address the situation I went to the hostess stand, and asked for the Manager. , who eventually came out . I explained and no uncertain terms, how unhappy I was that he placed the burden on his weight staff and as a manager did not address the situation.. all he kept saying was but we took it off the bill, we took it off the bill! I reiterated how unacceptable I thought it was. that he left it up to the waitress to handle. He told me he was busy. I thought that was even worse. I'm a Customer, I don't care how busy the manager is. When there is a situation when the meal is cold not once but twice the manager should be, coming to the table and handling the situation. Needless to say, I left the restaurant hungry. Taking it off the bill did not satisfy me. He should have tried to rectify the situation and also take it off the bill. That is how good customer service works in a restaurant.. read more

Anthony's is among the best restaurants on the New Jersey shore. The quality of the food is first rate, especially the crab cakes, which rival the best I have had anywhere from Maryland to Maine. The service is very attentive and highly professional, something not usually found at seasonal summer resort dinning spots. The indoor dinning rooms are bright and comfortable and the noise level is subdued and conducive to conversation. I highly recommend Anthony's if you are anywhere in the area. read more

My friends and I went to Anthony's for dinner and had an amazing experience. Our server was really friendly and welcoming. I ordered two items off the seasonal menu which the Maryland Crab soup and the blackened Mahi Mahi with arugula and pineapple salsa. I literally ate every bite of the Mahi Mahi it was cooked perfectly and the arugula and pineapple salsa was so refreshing. The restaurant is BYOB so my friends and I walked down the street and got a few bottles of wine to split. The server provided us with wine glasses. We finished off dinner with espresso which was the perfect palate cleanse and energy boost before we went out for the night! read more

Great food, service and ambiance. Love their eggplant Parmesan. Can't wait to try other entrees on the menu.

Didn't bring my phone (to get pix) OMG BEST parm. Such tasty thin slices, sauce was legit Service was impeccable! Def going back read more

What a welcome addition to the neighborhood! Food and service was great and vibe was super fun! " She Crab Soup" is a MUST try!

My family had a great experience here last night celebrating my aunts birthday! The weather wasn't great but they had outdoor seating set up in their parking lot which had a covering so we were able to stay nice and dry. For starters, our server Bailey was awesome- super personable and attentive!! Our group started out with two appetizers: eggplant parm and shrimp le John. The eggplant parm was delicious, I liked that it was a bit crispy and the sauce with it was so good. Only 5 pieces of shrimp came with the le John which didn't seem like enough for $12 but they were good as well. For entrees we all had a variety of meals: chicken Parmesan, veal Gina, chicken Stephen, and veal Saltimbocca. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were all stuffed by the end. Definitely would return! read more

Average Italian - ok for beach but nothing special - better Choices in both SIC and AV. Seafood was good but just not VG

The wife and I came for dinner. Nice outside ambiance. I don't see how this place has so many full stars. Mediocre at best. The salad was salty which was strange and the gnocchis were flavorless. The meatballs were good though. The server was sweet but disappeared for the whole time and did not know how to open wine. We tried it two times but will not be back. read more
