My wife and I went to Anthony's for lunch yesterday, and apparently we need to get out more, because we've been talking about that sea bass ever since. First off, this place is big. Fortunately, we were greeted quickly and escorted to our feeding corral before I had time to wander off and embarrass my wife. It seems like just about anywhere you sit comes with a great view. They've clearly put some thought into making sure everyone has something beautiful to look at, which took a little pressure off me. Our waters were filled promptly, and our waitress was attentive, kind, and welcoming. She had that perfect sense of timing that makes you feel taken care of without making you feel like you're under surveillance. We started with clams to share, and they were excellent. Everything tasted so fresh. Then there was the warm sourdough bread. Do not skip the bread. I went in thinking I was a reasonably disciplined adult, but apparently all it takes to dismantle that illusion is warm sourdough. We ordered the clams to share. The bread required a little more personal maturity. We both ordered the special, blackened sea bass, and this is where lunch became something worth writing about. A lot of places struggle with seasoning. Either the chef waves the spice jar vaguely in the direction of the kitchen, or applies enough to punish you for something you did in a previous life. Anthony's got it just right. The bass was juicy, scrumptious, and spicy, with enough seasoning to make every bite interesting while still letting you taste the fish. The rice was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the broccolini deserves some recognition of its own. Beautifully cooked and full of flavor, it actually earned its place on the plate. Usually vegetables are there so I can tell my wife I'm making good choices. This time I was happy to eat them. Best of all, the price was very reasonable for the quality of the meal. Fresh, excellent food, a comfortable setting, wonderful service, and lovely views, all without needing to schedule a meeting with our financial adviser afterward. Five stars, happily given. We will definitely be back. I'm already looking forward to being escorted to our feeding corral again. read more

While in Bend we stopped by the old mill district and decided to grab a light lunch. I ordered a clam chowder & Cesar salad combo which the clam chowder was very good and filling with lots of potatoes and clams, the Caesar salad was fresh and crispy, but the Caesar dressing was heavy and think like bottled dressing. I also needed to ask the waitress for crackers for the chowder, everyone was enjoying their chowder with soup crackers? It might now have been her day, because the other waitress brought over water and bread to other tables, but we sat with no waters, which we had to ask. And no bread? My wife wasn't too hungry so she split her hamburger sandwich with our daughter and they enjoyed their burger and French fries. The restroom were clean and the restaurant also clean and well maintain. The view is nice with the old mill town and people shopping and some rafting down the river. They also were pet friendly as they had customers with their pets sitting at the outside dinning area. read more

I enjoyed my salmon bowl with jasmine rice and sauce on the side. Wild caught salmon was delicious but a little skimpy on the serving size. The salmon should be another ounce or two in my opinion but everything tasted really fresh. My service was excellent and the beautiful flowers outside of my window were perfect. My fresh peach cosmo was so refreshing! I had a great experience. read more

Anthony's is gigantic inside, almost feels like it was built to welcome a king. When you walk through the doors, you know you're in for a treat. At least that's what they imply with all this larger than life architecture. I had a few drinks at the bar, testing various cocktails while we waited for a seat. Then my family and I were seated by a 16 year old somewhere dark and moody with riverside views. Kinda romantic if you were on a date. The Gen Alpha waiter didn't understand humor unfortunately and probably thought we were all unc. For some reason the menu seemed to lack variety and I felt forced to pick finger food instead of gluten and or giant meaty dishes that cost 50+ ...I can't ever finish those anyways. The Hawaiian nachos were not nachos, but some poke on little tostada things with some crema on top. Kinda underwhelming for 15 dollars. They were nice but more of a sharing dish, too much fishy flavor and lack of variety for one. I wonder why the menu is so boxed in and uninspired, like can we get a bit of creativity outside of appetizers? For a place with such a powerful presence, I expected more. read more

I love this Anthony's location! We've been to the one south of Seattle which felt dated but this Anthony's in Bend is very nice inside, located right on the river, expansive with high ceiling and big windows. I enjoyed a most delicious fresh Copper River salmon dinner and my partner enjoyed the blackened rockfish. Coconut prawns were a refreshing starter instead of the usual chowder or salad that we often gravitate to. Service was attentive and pleasant. Highly recommend if you're in the area and thinking of fish or seafood. read more

Great food, wonderful service. I was really disappointed leased to find a place in Bend that had non-fried fish, and Anthony's delivered. I had the halibut with potatoes, snap peas, and mashed potatoes. Everything was tasty, and I would definitely order the same again. My only issue is the portion of fish was a bit small for the price, but the place is popular, so I get it. I'll be back for sure. read more

The food was really fresh and delicious! Started the evening with calamari-- it was crispy and perfectly battered. Crab dip appetizer was great as well; savory and cheesy.. comes with toasted sour dough which was great. They serve quality seafood with amazing flavors. Loved the rich cream sauce from the salmon fettuccine! Our server Tiffany was amazing-- she made the night so easy for us. Would come here again! read more

The chowder was fantastic on a chilly and windy day. The Rockfish was seasoned perfectly! My colleague got the lightly crusted black cod and was very satisfied! The restaurant lays right next to the river with huge bay windows overlooking the river. Our server was very helpful and provided recommendations that did not disappoint! read more

Had an early lunch with friends at Anthony's. We appreciated a lovely table with a river view. While our food was great and service was friendly, we waited what seemed like an eternity for our food to come out. Don't hesitate to try the burger, which was delicious. The calamari is also very good. read more

Stopped in at Anthony's in Bends for lunch and had a fantastic experience. We sat inside, but still had a beautiful view of the river through the large windows--peaceful and perfect for a relaxing midday meal. Our waitress was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out just right without hovering. She kept our water glasses full and checked on us often. We ordered a variety of seafood dishes and loved every bite: * Fish tacos - super fresh with bright, balanced flavors. We ordered the Mahi Mahi Tacos, Blackened Rockfish Tacos, and Wild Salmon Tacos. * Clam chowder - rich and creamy, packed with clams * Oysters - fresh and briny, served ice cold. They were so delicious and fresh, we had to refrain from over ordering * Calamari - tender and crispy, not greasy at all * Seafood dip - creamy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing with the warm delicious bread * Bread - warm, crusty, and perfect with butter, the chowder or dip. It was so delicious we had 2 helpings Every dish tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Portions for the tacos were a bit smaller but luckily we had all the prior appetizers that helped make us content. Overall, Anthony's was wonderful. Great food, a peaceful river view, and top-notch service. Can't wait to come back on our next visit to Bend! This is such a great location with not only the river views, but all the shopping in the area is a nice added bonus. read more

Vacationing in this area, we decide to eat at Anthony's. Andrew our server was very accommodating and friendly! I ordered the Alaskan salmon. Delicious! The peach themed drinks and desserts were excellent!! We ordered the peach bourbon smash and the peach cheesecake. They use real peaches not syrup! It really is a great restaurant to eat at. We're glad we stopped by while visiting Bend! read more

The service was great, they were super kind and helpful. Unfortunately the food wasn't as great. The crab cakes were heavily breaded (which was not stated on the menu) and my mom is gluten free so we had to send it back. Apart from the breading it was not very good. The crab and shrimp dip is good. I do not think we will be back. It was our second time dining here and both times the food wasn't what we'd hoped. read more

Not a good experience at all. I planned a special dinner out in Bend for a family birthday last Friday evening. All four of us ordered different dishes. My shrimp scampi was tasteless with overcooked prawns in a greasy sauce, dry rice and mushy snap peas. My husbands oysters were minuscule, overcooked and not good- also with dry rice and mushy snap peas. Daughters salmon was fishy and dry- more mushy snap peas - but this dish had mashed potatoes which turned out to be all my daughter ate from her dish. Son's fish and chips was the only decent dish of the evening. Topper of the meal was the careless busboy who spilled food on me when clearing our table and never even apologized. No- we won't be back- no excuse for this fiasco of a Restaraunt. read more

Absolutely great place, clean, quiet and yummy food! Vin was a great server, very knowledgeable, patient, great recommendations and helpful! We got the oyster shooters, wine, salmon tacos, rockfish tacos, rhubarb strawberry mai tai and clam chowder. All great food! Definitely will be coming back! Thank you Vin for a wonderful experience! Also, parking was easy for lunch time! read more

Fun hangout spot with great food! Came in for happy hour and had some appetizers. The Calamari was great but the clam chowder stole the show! Super flavorful. Appreciate our server Bobby for the awesome service. Will definitely be back soon. read more

2 Stars for the delicious food, kind servers and beautiful atmosphere right on the river...but that's where the praise ends. My family loves to come to Anthonys for special occasions and we've always had top notch experiences until this visit. My family came here recently for my elderly father's special birthday. Our group got seated on time, but that's where the promptness ended. It took a very long time for someone to check in with us and take our drink order, no biggie as we all like each other and don't mind spending the time. Drinks came, except for my sisters wine, that came 25 minutes later. It took another very long time to get our order taken. And you guessed it, a very long time to get the food. I will add that the resto was only about 1/3 full on this particular evening, so not busy at all (this was not a Friday or Saturday night). So something was amiss for sure. 2/3 of our group ordered salads to enjoy before the main course. Only they didn't come out first. After much time, all the food came out at once (2 hours after getting seated at our reservation time). What's the point of an appetizer when it comes out with the dinner? We all had our food, except for the birthday boy. By the time dad's food came out (at least 15 minutes later), everyone else's food was cold. Errrrr. When questioning what was happening everyone was again very nice, but the answers were pretty corporate (I can sniff this stuff out pretty well). The Anthony's staff is SO nice, but there's definitely an execution/timing problem at this restaurant, at least lately. I understand that a 6 top isn't going to be a speedy execution, but this was different and we definitely weren't anticipating a 3 hour dinner - no exaggeration. They comped us desserts and 1 entree which was very kind, but I really hope Anthony's gets the service together so that we can feel good about coming back here again. read more

Great wait staff and delicious food! My mom really enjoyed the ambiance for a special lunch out.

Food was great. Sat outside and listened to the band on the river. Watched the sunset.

the ambiance and the wait staff were great. We sat outside and had a wonderful table and view and felt we were definitely on vacation. the waitress knew the offerings and led my husband to have the best beer ever, a Bend draft beer. However, the food price was high for what you got. My seasonal salmon and peach salad was quite good but small. My husband felt his fish and chips dish was sparse for the price and just OK read more

Just came here for a quick lunch. The clam chowder was good. I'm probably a little snobbish about it, but it was good. The ceaser was great, and so were the fries. We'll be back! read more

Nice restaurant in the shopping area. It was a sunny evening so we enjoyed the sunset during our late lunch. The service was great. Our appetizers were better than our entrees. My partner had a clam chowder and I had a Caesar salad. His clam chowder was a cute little size but creamy and delicious. My Caesar salad was perfect. The right amount of dressing and cheese. Their dressing was light and not very zesty (common issue I have with most Caesar salad dressings). Our entrees were more of a 3/5. My partner had mixed feelings about his clam linguini. Good taste but wished there were a little more clams. I liked the roasted shrimp and veggies, but did not like whatever was added to the basmati rice. I think the menu says almond but did not taste like it. If the rice was better, I think this dish could be tied together much better. I'd definitely come back for their appetizers and different entrees. read more

I loved this restaurant. My husband and I spent our anniversary at Anthony's and for a spur of the moment-food was edible. Besides the food being edible, the only downfall that we had was the fact that everything on the menu was over-priced for the portions that you received as a meal. We still left hungry and ended up going to a different restaurant down the road where the food and price was a lot better. They were slammed and the manager was a bit rude to those who didn't make reservations, but I recommend those to give it a try. read more

We have been to Anthony's four or five times. The first two times we sat in the bar and had a great dinner. Friendly service, good food. Then something happened. Apparently there was a new cook? Our food was good the third time but we waited a good 45 minutes to be served. Our order was "lost" and there was some confusion. Our poor waitress came to the table several times and apologized. The manager comped our meal which was very nice. But the kicker was two nights ago. We had a party of ten. It was my 75TH birthday party. Lovely table, friendly waitress. We were served two delicious appetizers (comped). Then nothing. Our reservation was for 6pm. We finally got our food around 8 pm. One couple at our table with a small child had to pack up their food and leave. The food when it came was mediocre at best. I had the scallops which would have been delicious had they been hot. Luke warm at best. Fish and chips- Eh. Much better at one of the brewery's in town. We took my birthday cake home to eat. As it was we got home around 8:45pm Family from out of town flew in to celebrate with me. Turned out to be a big disappointment. Very sad about my ruined party. What happened Anthony's? read more

Great meal, and Mallory took fantastic care of us! Sit outside if the weather is nice.

Nice view of Deschutes river! The high ceiling is really help us enjoying our big table lunch conversations. The seafood are fresh and tasty. We had three different types of fresh oysters. The salad is also fresh and deliciously goes with perfectly cooked salmon. Parking might be hard to find but if you like to walk then parking would not be an issue. Not many people on Saturday lunch. Service is fast. read more

We had a reservation at 5 o'clock on Saturday and we were seated promptly on the patio. It was a beautiful day and it was fun to see all the activity on the river and the people walking by. Our server was a cute friendly guy. The food was just OK. Hence the three stars but the venue is gorgeous and it was a nice place to enjoy the outdoors. We had calamari the house salad, the halibut special, the seafood fettuccine and chowder. read more

We stayed in Bend, Oregon on our way to Washington state and decided to try a restaurant near the river. The hostess was so amazing and made a very good impression and our table was perfect!! We decided on small plates, salad and wine. We ordered the steamed clams, fried calamari, and house salad. We expected the salad to be nothing special; however, it had baby shrimp and blue cheese crumbles with shaved fennel...it was the best thing we had along with the warm sour dough bread. The calamari could have been fried a little more and the steamed clams were just ok. The broth lacked substance and was not quite as flavorful (maybe more garlic, butter, or salt??). We enjoyed some local area wine and overall was a good experience. The Old Mill District was amazing and we will definitely be back! read more

Stacy was my server and she was fantastic! All around food was great and she made the whole experience better.

Wish no stars was an option: Interesting night... Reservations were at 7:30pm, we arrived early. Guess what time we had our order taken.... 8:05pm. And we had to prompt the server.... When did we get bread and butter? 8:30pm maybe... we didn't even get silverware so how did we eat the bread and butter? You ask me... we took a piece of bread and took a piece of butter with our hands. I am beyond hungry at the point. It's 8:49pm. And I thought Anthony's closes at 9pm. I guess not?? We finally got the food we ordered at 8:50pm They know how to make their bread crispy but not their potatoes. Other than that the food was actually really good. So unfortunate that their service sucked. Would NEVER go back! read more

I was in Bend, Oregon on business and wanted a nice sit down meal after a crazy long day and Anthony's fit the bill while also being near my hotel. The restaurant is classy and upscale with a decore of medium-dark wood where ever possible and spacious seating/dining areas in keeping with what I would expect from a restaurant in the heart of a mountain community of Oregon. I was seated, almost immediately, upon walking in without a reservation, past the expansive bar to a dining area with huge floor to ceiling windows....that was not surprisingly full. Apparently, I wasn't the only one wanting a classy sit down dinner. Lots of people in business casual...taking business, reconnecting with friends and obvious 1st dates. The menu was had a lot to choose from even for a picky person...me I could have had everything on this menu, everything sounded delicious. With some advice from the friendly server I ended up going with: -roasted Brussels spouts: I loved them! -crispy calamari with lemon aioli: very crispy, just the way I liked them. I practically inhaled them. -wild seared Mahi Mahi Poke -peppermint sundae: recommended by my server! And so good I forgot to take a pic! lol Overall, a wonderful restaurant in both experience and food. I'm not in the Bend Oregon area very often but when I do come back it would be difficult not to have dinner here again or recommending it as a place to take my clients. read more

FANTASTIC. The Caesar salad was prepared perfectly, and I mean, perfectly. Preparation for this salad is difficult, actually. It's not as simple as it looks. When it comes out this way, you're in heaven. Fresh lettuce. The Romain lettuce must be perfectly fresh. Crisp. You'd be surprised, how often the lettuce ruins the salad, even though the dressing is perfect. In this case, no worries. ADD: freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano! Now, let's move to the dressing. You don't clumpy, thick, or disgusting. You want a nice clean Caesar dressing, which is what we have here. I mean seriously, this is the best Caesar Salad I've ever had. Service, spectacular (at the bar). I also had a mushroom appetizer. That was also spectacular. I didn't want to ruin the photos by cluttering up a mushroom appetizer on top of things. In this case, it's all about the Caesar Salad. This place is off the charts. And, of all places, Bend, Oregon. Happy I dropped by...and also enjoyed an oatmeal stout on TAP!!! Don't know if I'll ever be back, but if I am, I know where I'm going. Check it out. read more

Great service, excellent food. The halibut was fresh and cooled just right. Mussels were delicious.

1/2 Food and service here can be a bit of a hit or miss. Sometimes everything is great, and other times it falls a bit short. Because of that inconsistency, I don't usually go out of my way to eat here, but your experience might be different. I'd give it about 3.5 stars overall, as there's definitely room for improvement. Still, it could be worth trying for yourself to see how it goes. read more
