    Side raspberry salad

    Timeless local dinner spot. Been coming for 25+ years. Best popovers in town. Always have leftovers so pro tip is to get sauce on the side so it reheat crispy.

    The Cajun Pasta (The BEST!)
    Isabella M.

    Absolutely fantastic! I went here with family for a birthday celebration and we had a party of 8. We had an earlier dinner at around 4:30 PM and the restaurant was pretty dead but by the time we left it definitely filled up! I saw other reviews complain about service but our waitress was amazing! Maybe because it was not as busy, just something to keep in mind! I have zero complaints about the food, actually quite the opposite- the food was an absolute 10/10 and I can't imagine ever getting something here that is not delicious. Everyone at our table was thrilled with their entrees. Each entree comes with a 'house roll' and they are huge! Definitely not what I expected since I do prefer savory bread with salted butter, but these rolls were slightly sweet and had a creamy butter they were served with. They were not the greatest rolls I've had in my life but very tasty! My boyfriend and I each ordered a pasta entree and let me tell you, the Cajun pasta was incredible! My mom is from the south and she makes an amazing version but this was the best I have ever had in a restaurant. The pasta had shrimp, sausage, and chicken and a delicious creamy sauce that had a little bit of heat. I will absolutely get this again if I am in the area! My boyfriend's dish was the Gouda chicken pasta and it was also quite good. Not as good as mine, in my humble opinion, but that pasta also had an addictive creamy sauce with a strong note of cheesy goodness! If you love gouda you would love this, just needs a tish more salt for me. Overall, a wonderful experience and such a sweet location. We got to see geese walking around the building while overlooking the water. The interior is very rustic but still romantic nonetheless.

    Steak Raspberry Salad

    My wife's sister had her retirement dinner at Anton's. Any excuse to go to Anton's, is a good excuse. The restaurant is on the river. At the time of writing this review though, it is in the river. :'-( Every couple of years the river gets so high, that it floods the restaurant. We got our feet wet leaving the restaurant. Anton's changes their menu yearly, keeping their seafood, steak and pasta dishes always delicious. The one menu item that is included in nearly every meal though, is their Popover with Honey Butter. This bread delight is as addicting as Red Lobster's cheese biscuits. Tonight I went with the Cajun Pasta, with a medley of steak, chicken and shrimp. Absolutely delicious. My daughter's cheeseburger was cooked perfectly medium, and for a unique change, she finished her burger. My wife had a fancy Steak Raspberry Salad, which she found delicious and healthy. I will happily drive an hour to eat here. The food and atmosphere is always a delight.

    Canopy tables resembling horse buggy's.

    This place is adorable. It appears to have once been a speakeasy, and if it wasn't, they fooled me. They have all kinds of fun wall decor. And this place is huge. It seemed that the rooms with seating were never ending, and I never made it to the upstairs seating area. When the weather is warm, they have an upstairs patio/porch seating area as well that looks over the water. They have these neat tables that look like buggy's pulled behind horses as well as regular tables. Our server was Lisa and she was great! She was friendly, helpful, and attentive. They do have a smaller menu. Many items have shrimp or another seafood incorporated. Almost all entrees come with a popover served with honey butter. We each had the ribeye with the august in potatoes. Steak was cooked to perfection at medium rare. The potatoes had an amazing flavor but could have been cooked a little longer. Can't wait to come back here when it is nice out and try the upstairs area seating.

    Sirloin with Oscar and asparagus

    My husband had a two day meeting "downtown" St. Cloud so I came with to "explore" the city. Well, my first fine adventure was to enjoy St. Cloud's Lake George-take a walk around it... the local Rotary Club I have heard has done an amazing job with helping promote summer concerts here which as a result has given people a reason to come into the city. Shoot... I got a bit off track. Sorry I'm just going to say that I also like to research local places and supper clubs before my husband and I travel. My husband and I tried out Anton's Thursday mid day for a quick beverage and Nancie and the rest of the staff were super friendly and shared with us the dinner menu and welcomed us to return for dinner. We did just that. Drinks great, Husband liked the ribs and I ordered the sirloin Oscar medium rare... it came pretty light pink.. I ate around the edges and then asked Gabrielle our server if she could have the chef put it back on the grill for a few minutes before I had them box it up to take with. "No problem" she said. ... . Nice overall experience... this place is super big .

    Great, history laden restaurant with river views. As you walk around the restaurant there is a fake horse that you can pet and it's the smartest horse I've ever met and when you pet it it talks you. Somehow the horse knows where you're from. Walk to the back of the restaurant where you get a beautiful view of the river, ducks and the geese. You can enter the restaurant from the back or front and head to the bar and have a quick cocktail while you wait for your table. What I like about the restaurant most of the history and the stories that you can learn just from talking to the staff and the owners. The craft beer selection is pretty impressive and the attention to detail and customer service separates this restaurant from many others. Also there is so much to look at in the restaurant with impressive antiques, historical features and artifacts make a eye pleasing display. The food was delicious and pretty well priced. I saw there's a second floor screen porch that allows you to eat outside and view river. I also like the fact that when you wanted to try a beer that you've never had they'll give you a free tasting of as many of the beers as you want until you find one that you like. Try the Minnesota Wild for dinner, it's delicious with wild blueberries, maple syrup and wild rice. It's definitely an awesome place to eat or just come for a drink.

    Look how big the popover is. Humongous!!!!

    Thank you . . . dined there last evening first time - full house! New Orleans style cuisine - the…read morefood was so delicious, everyone at our table had only positive comments about their food (and all of us had different menu items). We were given constant attention by many different servers. Our main server was full of menu suggestions, ingredients, and eager to please our palates. The only negative was the level of noise with the full house. In other words the acoustics need some attention. It was difficult hearing the other guests at our table. I would definitely recommend dining at the Krewe. I would ask for a table along the windows or maybe dine outside if weather permits. The food is worth a try!

    We drove 2 hours for our anniversary for a New Orleans meal…read more The Blackberry Highball is very sour and not so fruity. We started with the Boudin Balls and Hush Puppies - both very good. My husband had the Red Beans and Rice and really enjoyed it. Lots of meat in it. I was hoping for Crafish Étouffée but it isn't on the menu any longer. So I ordered the Shrimp Étouffée. Very disappointed. Only 5 small chunks of shrimp. It also has a sort of poblano verde sauce or maybe a poblano Maque Choux without the corn. Lots of celery. And the small amount of rice. I didn't eat much of it, after the shrimp was gone it was just bad sauce. A wasted $21. The cornbread was nice with honey butter. We split the bread pudding for dinner and it is excellent - DON'T MISS IT! Service was excellent. Especially the bus boy / water refiller. P.S. They don't do anything for anniversaries. Not sure if we will drive over 2 hours each way for Étouffée that was mediocre. The Crawfish Étouffée was excellent last time.

    This is my opinion on the day we went in and do with it as you want…read more When we first arrived, they were busy. There was a Sunday brunch going on. No problem, we ended up waiting, maybe 15 minutes to get a table. There were 4 of us. That wasn't an issue and the staff was great. We got seated at our table and our waiter, I believe his name was Benjamin, was awesome. Great guy, didn't pressure us to order right away. Gave us time to look and would check in on us. All around great service. He was a 5 star! Even the atmosphere, with it being busy, was what you would expect. A lot of people talking and having a good time, no problems, no issues. We were kind of set back in the corner, which I'm thankful for, because we didn't have the noise from the Brunch area. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the food. With 4 people being served, you would think they would get the fries right? They were over seasoned on everyone's plate, horribly over seasoned. You might as well have been dipping them straight into the container of whatever seasoning was on them. Of the 4 orders of French fries, we left 2 orders on the table. I ordered the Gastro Pub Bison Burger, medium. Benjamin even started it was going to have some pink in the middle, and I said yes. The ticket even stated it. I don't know why they even put it on the ticket if they're going to cook it done. The burger ended up being over cooked and dry. It was a Bison burger, so there's plenty of moisture in those burgers when cooked to medium. This thing comes out as a little nothing sized burger. I wasn't impressed with it at all. My wife's order, Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Sandwich, came out good and she ate it all and really enjoyed it. One daughter had ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. She's had them before at other places and was excited to try their's. Came out ok except for the, what she stated as being too spicy. And again, the fries were over seasoned. My other daughter order a Spicy Dill Flatbread, which turned out really good. She was the only one of us who did like the over seasoned fries. Now when it comes to food, I never send anything back and i don't say anything because we might not be done with ordering. I have the biggest fear about retaliation. You hear the stories from someone you know, of possibly something being a little sketchy when food is reordered or it comes back out, so I just don't do it. I have been here before and it is pretty much the same as I remember it. The staff being great, but the food just being not worth it. The funny thing is it's the Chef's name is on the door when you come in the building. If I was him, I'd be a little embarrassed that his cooking staff can't do a medium burger and do some retraining. At least watch what the cooking staff is doing while preparing food that his name is associated with. I don't need to go back there and eat.

    The restaurant has a prominent bar area and smaller dining area up some steps. It was a pretty…read moretypical casual restaurant. The food was overly salty and the service was slow. Would not go back.
