    Delicious! Meat was tender. Chips and salsa homemade. I would recommend. Prices about the same as other Mexican restaurants in the area.

    total disappointment. overpriced, below mediocre food, awful service. 0/10 would not recommend, and definitely won't be going back here.

    This restaurant is a cute casual local establishment with delicious seafood! It is located in…read moreSilverdale easily off the state road #3 with its own parking lot. You order at the counter then can sit inside (limited seating = only 2 booths plus a higher bar type seating) and a few tables outside. You can also order to-go. I ordered the Seafood Tacos Hawaiian Style with fried cod. I give it a 9/10 - it was really tasty but not 10/10 since I'm from Southern California and was just in Cabo Mexico last week where the 10/10 fish tacos are. They were still great t You could also get the tacos with fried shrimp and another option is Baja Style. Both Styles come with the white fish taco sauce. Baja Style is pico de gallo and Hawaiian Style is the pico de gallo with the addition of pineapple and mango. It was delicious! I also sampled what other people in my family ordered: 10/10 CAPTAINS PLATTER One piece fish, clam strips, two prawns, one oyster, fries, tartar and cocktail sauces 10/10 STEAMERS clams and mussels simmered in a delicate stew of butter, lemon, garlic, white wine and herbs Both were delicious! I also paid $3 for the sourdough bread and butter (yum!) - it comes toasted (which I didn't know since it doesn't say that on the menu) so specify first if you don't want it that way. My family got the frozen ice cream chocolate chip cookie sandwiches for dessert (like you buy in the grocery store) so what's not to love about that. A little disappointing was I wanted to get the Pacific Pan Roast after seeing the mouth-watering photos on Yelp but they didn't have it in their menu when I was there today. However the food was delicious and this is a fun local spot and we'd definitely return here so this place totally deserves 5 stars!

Not sure what fresh herbs they add in the shot glass but they are to die for. I rushed over to get one more order of shooters before driving to the airport in Seattle. Can't say enough positives about this place. Happy Hour is everyday for 7 hours. Amazing. Every item on the Happy Hour menu was delightful.

    Anthony's is a hard place to beat, and they keep up the effort to keep it that way…read more We were here for Mother's Day, reservations were handled by OpenTable - I have never had an issue with them and cancelations and changes are easy. We were running a little late so I dropped my wife off and went to find parking. When I arrived to the hostess she was already seated. We had a great server, Tamika. She was friendly, upbeat, informative and appropriately attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. We ordered brunch: Eggs Benedict and the San Juan Scramble. My wife said the Eggs Benedict were the best she ever had. It was simple, but each element was prepared to perfection and the combination was delicious. I would agree but that is based on the one bite I was allowed! My scramble was great. Perfectly cooked eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Our plates were both clean. We didn't get pictures, but our plates looked just like the pictures on their brunch menu online. What a great start to our day! Parking is usually not a problem, but today parking in the garage one level below the restaurant was a little tight.

My husband loved his burger and my steak was amazing! The price for some things are a little high. The demi glaze sauce being $6 almost made me lower my rating but I dont want to be one of those people. I just wont order it next time. Our waitress was amazing. Sad they got rid of the New York Strip steak but the ribeye was great too!

Being a Sunday…read moreevening I would have expected a table with a view for only 5 people but we were placed in the middle of the room (no view except of other tables) very weird so I asked for a booth. Our waitress was kind and prompt, however a few things made this an ok experience. 1. Clams were delicious - but clam chowder is horrible 2. Only checked on us one time after food delivery and 3 people had water that needed refilled but never was. 3. They brought a Pup Cup with a candle to my MIL. Could you not spare a small slice of cake or something - it was so weird. Who brings a dressing 1oz cup with whipped cream for a birthday celebration? I personally would not go back, but I don't live near here so that won't be a problem. If you like old ambiance, and an old feeling this is your place, just not my vibe.
