This is probably one of the best things out here in Boise! Dined in here with hubby for the first time and we had a great time. Our staff were nice and welcoming. The food was amazing and delicious. Oysters were fresh, calamari was delicious, and Main entrees were top notch!! read more

We had dinner on a Wednesday night to entertain a couple of building contractors visiting Boise from Seattle. The restaurant was pretty empty, yet our party of six was seated right next to a banquet room hosting what can only be described as a full-blown work party. Between the noise and our waiter speaking loudly and very slowly (think Disneyland character energy), it was tough to tell if he was competing with the party or assuming we were hard of hearing (we are all in our early 50's). Either way, it made conversation... challenging. The food was good and the oysters were amazing, but discussing business over what felt like a live soundtrack wasn't ideal. The waiter even joked about closing the banquet room door because "those folks know how to party," then promptly did nothing about it. As the group finally wrapped up, one guy actually apologized for interrupting our dinner -- which kind of said it all. We'll definitely try a quieter spot next time we're entertaining clients. read more

First time we didn't have a perfect experience. Service was great, but I felt like Tristan (sp) was overwhelmed. Food was not the highlight this evening and with prices soaring, it was even more disappointing. The Good: Oysters were fresh, very delicious! Sourdough Bread Cocktails Daughters kids menu pasta Ahi Stack The Bad: Overcooked Steaks Calamari fried a bit too long Disengaged / Distracted Manager at reception I mention the manager because one of the servers accidentally broke a water glass right next to our table. No one was hurt but he should've came over and checked on my daughters to ensure that was the case. He decided to stay and chat with the greeter...you can put two and two together. I expect elite level quality and service, have gotten it before here but things have changed. You can do better Anthony's, and as a reminder, loved our server, not on her. read more

Anthony's Boise - Oysters! - Seafood Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Cons: We were sat for a very long time before our orders were taken, we were not given any bread until we asked and it came out with our food much later, the Nojito is basically sprite and mint (little to no ginger as stated in the menu), my friend's mashed potatoes were cold. Pros: They brought an entire new, warm plate of mashed potatoes for her, the chef gave my other friend another plate of lobster (unprovoked) because he didn't like the way it turned out, they gave my friend free dessert (with a lighter candle) to celebrate her graduation), the tuna tacos, steak, clam chowder and trout were delicious. We appreciated their efforts to right some wrongs. read more

Great service, food and atmoshere at Anthony's. We try to visit each time we come to Boise.

Celebrating time with our family from Seattle. We ordered the seafood tower appetizer to share. Pancetta prawns were smoky and delicious! Calamari excellent but my favorite - ahi tuna nachos.... Oh my, by far my favorite!! So delectable. I could have eaten a platter all by myself. All food was excellent. Prepared and seasoned beautifully. Our server was happy to move us to a corner table to view the lights and sunset. Our server was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about entry's. Anthony's is consistently excellent food and service. We always enjoy our visits. Edmonds, WA and Boise, ID. read more

We came here for our 10th wedding anniversary after reading reviews. I made reservations on a Friday night. We love seafood and were hoping this restaurant would satisfy (our first time here). It absolutely did. In my hometown of San Diego, there was a small chain of Anthony's restaurants, and one is still open. I wonder if this location is related. We asked for a booth and were given a nice one facing the large windows. The decor is nice, not super fancy but good place to celebrate a special occasion. You can do paid parking in a garage off 11th and there is an elevator that takes you directly to the restaurant doors. Aspen was our server, and she did a great job! She was friendly and attentive, and made us feel very welcome. We both had the prawns, craisin rice pilaf, and snap peas. For an appetizer, we had the clam chowder. They served us some warm and tasty sourdough bread. My wife had some kind of tequila drink that she really liked. I had an IPA. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was upscale. We will be back. read more

Service was top notch as soon as we walked in. We did make online reservations so maybe that helped? The place is fairly huge and views from anywhere they sit you which is pretty cool. Everything was so clean and up to date. Now to the food - the kids plate was great. Portion was enough to feed a kid for 2 days. Well, at least a 5yr old. She got the buttered noodles and they were outstanding. We also ordered the trout plate and a scallop one. Husband and I shared and we finished absolutely everything. Nothing was brought back home. We will definitely be returning back to try more of their plates. Parking: plenty of parking in the parking structures located all around the restaurant. read more

Outstanding food and service. Our server Jasmine is one of the best!!! She helped to make my wife's birthday very special

Well, I want to start off by saying we are completely foodies and know our food. My husband has shared our bad experience with several people already and it's only been a few days. We booked a reservation to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary and were utterly disappointed. First, the food is a 3 star, at best. But the overall experience completely dropped our rating. We made reversions and noted that we were there for a celebration and even requested a particular seated area but they put us directly in the middle of the room. The restaurant isn't quiet as is, but being in the middle of the room.. at a table.. for our anniversary, felt awkward. I ordered a drink, and I kid you not, it took nearly 25 minutes to arrive -- our appetizers came first. The appetizers weren't wow factor. The bread is basic. The waiter behind me dropped plates when collecting the dishes from the table to the left of me. The table to the right of me was complaining about hair in her dish and wanted to speaker with a manager. Full disclaimer: it wasn't. It was just the skewer wood sliver. But it took so much attention from the staff, they forgot to take our order and never realized we didn't order. Our waiter came back to our table to pour water maybe 3 times and our menus were there. My husband looked at me and said are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yes, I am. Let's leave. We did just that. We had every intention of celebrating our entire night with Anthony's and were so utterly disappointed we actually left for our usual restaurant across the street. Finished the night at the other restaurant and it entirely made up for a ruined anniversary dinner. Additionally, no celebration dessert was given either. We won't be returning. read more

This is one of the Top Spots on the Downtown Boise area. Casually Chic. Very open and modern dining room and love the Blue water goblets! Service is first rate here without being stuffy. Seafood menu, with so many great choices. Seasonal menu items do not disappoint. Of course you can't go wrong with the classics like Clam Chowder or Fish and Chips..Which is battered and fried to perfection, tasty crispy exterior with a tender and moist interior. Remember to make a Dessert decision before you order so you will be committed to saving room, or just start with dessert! read more

Excellent meal with wonderful service. I had seared Ahi with pineapple salsa and my wife raved about the fish and chips. A bit disappointed that we couldn't get an espresso with our dessert and that the crème brûlée wasn't freshly caramelized. Minor, we'll skip dessert next time. read more

I took my wife here for her birthday and we have both wanted to try this place out and was recommended by friends. I will say right out the gate, the service was not good. We were sat at our table waiting for a server to come by or at least say hi or I will be with you in a moment as you would expect. That did not happen we were there for about 25 minutes with no contact from anyone until I went up and had to ask where our server is at. After that point the service was okay. The food was great, but the first impression left a bad taste in our mouths. read more

We made a last minute reservation here after a show we were scheduled to see was postponed. We walked the .2 mile to the restaurant arriving 10 minutes early for 6 pm reservation. It was a Thursday in March so very few tables occupied. We were seated immediately and our server was lovely and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered iced teas whilst perusing the menu. My daughter decided on the Wagyu steak and added tempura prawns. I ordered fish and chips. We decided to share a cocktail. The warm sourdough bread on the table was wonderful but I didn't think it would be the only food for an hour. The cocktail arrived after 30 minutes and was tasty. When dinner finally arrived (57 minutes after we ordered) we were relieved because we chose a close by restaurant so we wouldn't have to walk downtown after dark. Unfortunately, my daughter's Wagyu sirloin was well done instead of medium rare. She said it had great taste and marbling and would have been delicious at correct temperature. We are ranchers and we grow a few Wagyu calves every year for ourselves. What a shame to treat prime beef this way. She enjoyed her prawns but wished there had been a sauce to dip them in. They served her entree with ramp mashed potatoes which I tasted. Absolutely delicious. Her broccoli was nice too. My fish and chips were disappointing. The panko crusted cod was obviously fresh but terribly overcooked. The fillets were very thin, so they just really stayed in the hot oil far too long. I actually loved the Asian slaw it came with (so yummy) and the homemade tartar sauce saved the whole plate. Their Simplot fries were perfectly cooked and crispy, and my daughter helped me with both the slaw and French fries. We skipped dessert and walked back to our hotel. Dinner was $98 before tip and frankly a real disappointment. I had eaten at an Anthony's in Washington years ago and it was really good. Tonight just really fell short. The biggest issue is obviously the kitchen. If you can't get basic food out on a quiet evening, what happens on the weekends when the place is full and you really get slammed. Most of the folks we saw inside were eating fresh oysters and seemed to be really enjoying them. Because we had another night planned and going to Anthony's was a last minute replacement, I didn't feel like ordering up a huge dinner. I figured classic fish and chips at a fresh fish restaurant was easy and likely to be great. It sadly wasn't. As we were walking back to the hotel, we both agreed, we would probably never go back. Just really underwhelming. Best part of the evening was the lovely server! read more

It's our 10 year wedding anniversary and we decided to go out for dinner. The first restaurant we went to was a bust so we decided to come to Anthony's as we've heard decent things about it. Unfortunately it was also a bust. We didn't make reservations so we got sat in the lounge which was no big deal at all! We waited at least 30 minutes before our order was taken, then even longer to get our food. My husband ordered the cod fish and chips which were dry and overcooked, and I ordered the tenderloin (asked for medium well) which was like $58 dollars and added crab on top for $12 more. I got the tiniest piece of meat with less than an OZ of crab on top and it was cooked well well well done and also very dry. If we hadn't waited forever for the food I would have said something but didn't want to wait another 35-40 minutes to get one that was cooked to how I ordered it. Safe to say I would not recommend this place and chances are very slim that we'll be back. Side note- I ordered their peach/raspberry cheesecake to go, when I got home we ate more than half to discover there was moldy raspberries in it. So freaking disgusting read more

Waited 10 minutes for water. Finally had to get up and get it ourselves. Food was slow. COBB salad, Caesar salad and chowder were awful. Burgers were fine. Fish and chips were great. Service was SO slow. Kinda rude. They seemed wholly unprepared for Mother's Day. Ruined the experience for us. read more

Our server Hunter was amazing! Fire Roasted Apple cranberry bread pudding desert was delicious!!! I had the sirloin dungeness crab and it was cooked to perfection. The service was consistently enjoyable and the overall experience was very pleasant. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant. The atmosphere was crowded due to the dinner hour time so I recommend doing reservations or getting there early. It's a fairly new place but definitely worthy. R read more

This visit was a rollercoaster ride some nice things but more bad so I can't say we will come back. There are just too many other places in the area for the price that I think would give us a better experience. We came here for my husband's birthday. 1) Our meal took around 2 hours to arrive. The restaurant was fairly empty and we had a party of 3. 2) While we were waiting the server asked if we wanted a side salad, our daughter took one. We thought it came with the entree however it must not have since we were charged. 3) I have a gluten allergy, the menu said that the hamburger could be GF modified. Most of the time when that's the case the bun is swapped out for a GF bun. When my meal came out it was a smaller sized burger wrapped in lettuce (that's fine) but no fries. When the server came back out my husband asked, "does she get anything else" . He said he would go ask and came back out to tell us that they cannot give me fries because they cook gluten in the fryer. That would have been fine, I could have picked another side but they didn't tell us at all. The server then said "I can see if maybe I can get you mashed potatoes?". By then everyone was already almost finished with their meals and I didn't know if that would take a long time as well. The server came back and said he talked to the manager and had them take off the burger (which was nice of them and I appreciate that). He then asked our daughter if she wanted a box and took her food to the back and that was the last we saw of them. I apologized to my husband for a not so great milestone birthday dinner and then we walked downtown to get ice cream. My suggestion you have a lot of items on your menu listed as gluten friendly. Please educate your servers on this. The server should have mentioned it would come on a lettuce wrap to set the expectation. They then should have informed us that the fries are not GF and then offered a list of substitutions that are, lastly I know you are higher end but for Pete's sake include the tiny salad into the entree price it's silly not to. read more

Pretty meh place. Been there a number of times. Food is incredibly uninspired. Had the chef dalad with shrimp. When it was brought to our table it was not made to recipe. Missing avocado. The waiter did bring me a plate with very little avocado. Salad was just sad. While the deserts were good, it took 25 min to get them. Service was inconsistent. I will not be back. read more

First time in Boise and had an amazing dinner at Anthony's. Made reservations and glad we did because it was busy. The service here is wonderful. Our server was so attentive and made our whole dining experience a memorable one. We started off with their Seasonal Salad which was a spinach one with a tasty Dill Vinaigrette. We had a nice Pinot Noir, recommended by our server, which was great. My BF had the Seafood Fettuccine which had clams, bay shrimp, mussels, prawns, and scallops in a cream sauce. I went with one of their specials, the Island Duet- mahi mahi with a pineapple mango salsa and coconut prawns. For a side it had a craisin pistachio rice pilaf which went well with the dish. The place is decorated nicely with an upbeat vibe and the lights they have outside were beautiful. For dessert we had the Huckleberry Burnt Cream, a custard similar to a crème brûlée topped with huckleberry sauce. We had never had huckleberry before and really enjoyed the dessert. The meal was perfect. Our fabulous dinner was one the highlights of our visit. read more

The food was okay but it took 100 minutes to get our dinner. We were told they had double booked our table and they forced us to move. At least one of us got food poisoning from the meal. read more

Love Anthony's from the chowder to the fresh oysters to the delicious entrees! Highly recommend!!

Food was beautifully presented. My steak was melt in your mouth yummy. They gave us a Happy Anniversary card at our table. Customer service was outstanding. Our waiter was very attentive. It's a beautiful place to eat. read more

We gave them a second chance after walking out the first time, due to extremely slow service. The service improved the second time, but the main entrees were loaded with salt and very disappointing. For the price point, much more is expected. read more

Went for the happy hour. The Poke', muscles, clam chowder, and mushrooms were really good. We arrived before 4:30. By 5:00 people were arriving in larger groups. Staff was attentive without being intrusive. If you live west of Boise, don't forget to consider homeward traffic... read more

Service and food quality have most definitely fallen off here. All the wait staff we are familure with are gone. Mostly all new staff. You won't get a bar napkin with your drink, disappointing. The crab fetachini was soggy! Not aldenti in any way. Still ok but if you looking for something high end, try someplace else. read more

I know Anthony's is a fish. I ordered their pork chop much to the chagrin of my dinner partners. That pork chop was absolutely magnificent. I can't remember having eaten a better piece of pork in the last several years. If you're willing to step away from the crowd you you've got to try it. read more

Decided to try something different for our Anniversary instead of Chandlers so decided to try Anthony's and made reservation And told them it was a special occasion. when we arrived for our reservaton were set at a table in the middle of all traffic patterns. Was told alot if unexpected patrons showed up so I guess they were seated at a not great table. They did see wen't happy and did move us. We ordered app and dinner and did wait. Heard someone walk by that they gave our app to someone else. Food arrived and was very good. Waiter was also very good. We were also told that special occasions usually got a special dessert but they were out. They did give us a coupon on an app or dessert at a future visit but I'm not sure it will get used. This was not our first visit but at this price point I'm not sure when/if we'll be back. read more

We came here with a group of people and had the private banquet room. Service was great, super attentive and friendly. Food was good, definitely pricy but worth a try if you are bringing people who love seafood and want somewhere nice to experience. read more

Wonderful lunch on Saturday. Service was excellent and the fish and chips was outstanding!

I had eaten once before at Anthony's and enjoyed a good meal as did the others at our table. This was for my grandson's birthday and I was excited for him. Our server was polite and as attentive as she could be on a relatively busy Friday evening. My granddaughter ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer and the server apologized for how small they were and said they were being comped because they were so small. That was a good point for Anthony's. I ordered the pan fried oysters. When they came, they were over breaded and over cooked. At least an eighth of my serving was clumps of breading with no oyster in them. The ones that did have oysters were overcooked and the breading so thick that it broke rather than accept a fork. Worse, the breading over powered the flavor of the oysters. I was not going to say anything, but my daughter in law looked up from her plate of oysters and said, "Well, that was under whelming." When it came time for dessert, my daughter in law apologized and said my grandson had another event to go to. After the waitress left, she told us the dinner was so under whelming she did not want to chance the dessert. I don't know what has happened in the last couple of years since I last ate there, but I suspect neither I nor my son's family will be returning. read more

Went to the wine tasting last night... wine, appetizers, staff, venue and price all hit top marks! Hope they have more of these.

I'm a lifelong seafood lover, so I've wanted to dine at this restaurant for quite some time. We visited recently for our anniversary to enjoy a special dinner. I'll start with the good: The parking was easy to find. The garage was clean and well-lit. The restaurant was beautifully appointed, though lacked some of the nautical flair of a seafood establishment. Our server, when she was around, was friendly. The pan-fried Willapa Bay oysters were terrific. (This is the first time anyone has asked me how I would like fried oysters cooked.) And the bad: Our server was almost never present. Throughout our wait, she maybe checked on us twice. (More about the wait later.) Aside from my entree, none of the food we ordered was served as ordered. For example, my spouse's meal came with onions on the steak and onions in the vegetable medley. He specifically asked that no onions be served. My oysters arrived, but I did not receive the vegetables. The clam chowder was nearly devoid of clams. (And we were there early -- was the chowder left over from yesterday?) Then the ugly: We arrived before 5pm to enjoy the Sunset Dinner special. The restaurant was almost completely empty when we arrived. So it was a complete surprise to be waiting over an hour between our appetizer/soup/bread and the arrival of our entrees. We were very nearly deciding to leave when they finally arrived -- and were wrong, to boot! When our dessert FINALLY arrived, the server wished my husband a "Happy Birthday." Perfect way to top off our mistake of a night. We don't plan to return. read more

Good high end service . Amazing food quality and people who seem to care. I will be back to visit again soon!

Made reservations for my wife's birthday dinner here a few weeks ago and called to ask in advance if the oyster sampler was a dozen oysters for $30 - because their marketing material showed a sampler of 6 oysters in the image. Six oysters for $30 is $5 an oyster - which is a LOT. So I called in advance so I could avoid having that discussion with the waiter when we showed up in front of my wife - cause that's embarrassing. The gal on the phone told me that the sampler came with 12 oysters. I told her thank goodness because $30 for 6 oysters would be ridiculous - and she AGREED. Showed up yesterday and guess what? You only get 6 oysters in the sampler for $30. So we ordered the sampler and my wife asks if he can add some a'la carte to make the sampler 12 oysters - TWO pieces of each version they had. Because we wanted to share them and each try one. Which is why you usually get a dozen at most places. Anyhow she got a glass of wine I got a pilsner - with the tip (because yes I still tipped) it came to $85. $85 for two drinks and a dozen oysters! What a rip off! We only came here because Little Pearl has been closed. Thank GOD it's opening up again next week, Even THEIR oysters are cheaper - and they are a Fancy place. Clean and with great KNOWLEDGEABLE staff. Anyhow my LAST oyster was spit out because it was rancid. So that literally left a bad taste in my mouth. Mainly, I feel like I was tricked because I was lied to about what I was going to be getting. Also the waiter did not know which oyster was which - my wife had to help him - they didnt put the oysters in order so we had to guess what was what. ALSO the lovely table that was chosen for this special occasion: There were crumbs all over the carpet next to me like a baby had sat there before me and it didn't get cleaned up at all. Wall had stains on it - and the menus that came on the table were dirty - just not a clean place and not acceptable for a higher end restaurant (which I learned I guess is a chain and is not high end at all?). When the waiter came to ask how the food was I asked for the check so we could go to our favorite restaurant down the street - where we actually ended up enjoying her birthday dinner. Sucks that I had to spend an additional $85 and waste an hour of our evening here. Won't be back - also I tried to call to talk with a manager about this but no one is answering their phones today I guess. read more
