    Shrimp & Crab Dungeness Crab & Shrimp Fettuccine Crispy Fried Calamari
    Rose D.

    We made a reservation on Google the day before for a late Valentine's Day dinner (the Sunday after Valentine's Day), and even though it was very busy, we were seated relatively quickly, which we really appreciated. We were also given beautiful window seats overlooking Vashon Island, which made the whole evening feel extra special and romantic. I did notice other tables receiving complimentary bread without asking, so I was a little confused when we didn't get any at first. However, once I asked our waiter, she brought it out right away. We started with drinks and calamari. The calamari tasted very fresh, and the sauce it came with (I'm assuming ranch) was delicious! For our entrée, we ordered the shrimp and crab fettuccini. There was a bit of a wait for our food, but to be fair, it was incredibly busy -- and the pasta was absolutely worth it. It was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Before leaving, I ordered the no-bake cherry cheesecake to go. It was on the smaller side, which was a little disappointing, but it was still very tasty. Overall, it was a great meal and made for a lovely late Valentine's celebration. We would definitely come back!

    We dined in for lunch and were there right when they opened. There was quite the line but it went quickly as the hostess was seating people. The waiter was attentive as well when ordering food. The view was amazing as it was right on the water. I'd say the food was average, nothing that blew me away, but nothing to speak of negatively either. I would go back again when given the opportunity

    Kristy was a wonderful server. So attentive and polite during our whole dining experience. She was super patient with us as my husband powered his way through the all you can eat crab and even gave him praises when he finished his third set and threw in the towel. He felt like a true champ. Thank you Anthony's for a fabulous date night. Can't wait to come back!

    This review is for the 3 Course Dinner Special! (5/5) HIGHLY recommend. Who says eating out has to be expensive? Anthony's has a 3 Course Meal deal on weekdays before 5:30 for $33! I believe menu varies from each location, please check details before you go! Even though it's advertised before 5:30, I would suggest sitting by 4:45-5. it's an early dinner but for this course, it's worth it! With Seattle Summers coming to an end, my family and I wanted to try this special and we got to sit outside and enjoy a nice view of the water. I had the calamari, steak and chocolate mousse. I was extremely stuffed after. Our server was kind and attentive. I recommend this special to anyone who wants to experience a 3 course meal for an incredible price!

    Service: 3.5/5 Food: 3.75/5 Outdoor View: 5/5 The outdoor seating and view here is absolutely beautiful! Parking lot is big and lots of spaces. Our service started out great, but after we ordered our waitress wasn't around much. We had to ask the person that delivered our food to find her so we could get drink refills. Appetizers: cheese curds: 4/5 calamari: 3/5 Entrees: Fish Taco & Clam Chowder: 4/5 - fish inside of taco was good, clam chowder was average Fish N Chips: 5/5 Petite Filet: 3.5/5 - the steak was a good cut, but bland and the potatoes it came with had no seasoning at all

    Clams

    Service was great. Water was always full. Food and drinks were meh. Dirty martini tasted like tequila, but when checked with bartender they insisted it was dry fly vodka. Clams were the best part of the meal. Steak Oscar with lobster was barely edible. Crab was ok, but steak was like rubber and lobster was brown and had a weird flavor. Caesar dressing was a bit runny. Salmon was ok, nothing special. Dessert was a flop. Chocolate cake tasted like air and cranberry tart jar was very tart. Did not leave wanting to come back again unfortunately.

    If you want dinner with a beautiful view, Anthony's restaurant is the place for you. This is a seafood restaurant located by the water in Ruston (next to the ferry and walking distance to Owen's Beach). They have both indoor and outdoor dining depending on what's available. They have big windows so you still get a great view of the water if you choose to sit indoors. Great place for celebrations and small groups! It was quite busy for a Tuesday evening. Service was pretty slow, understandably so as our waitress did say they had a lot of graduation and birthday celebrations this week. We checked in around 6:50PM and were told that it would be a 20 min table. We got seated around 7:20PM and waited ~15 min before our waitress came back to take our order. My friends ordered a cup of clam chowder and got it right after ordering -$9/ each. Though, we didn't get our other food until 7:50PM and they were supposed to close at 8PM lol. They forgot our utensils but did apologize because it's been busy and was the end of the day. They make their food to order and have an open kitchen so you get to watch them cook everything. Highly recommend the smoked salmon fettuccine! One of the best seafood pasta I've ever ordered probably. It comes with smoked salmon, mushroom and zucchini in fettuccine pasta and Alfredo sauce topped with grated Parmesan cheese. The sauce was creamy and I liked that they used real grated Parmesan cheese. They also did not skimp on the smoked salmon! 5/5 - $27 My friends ordered the Wild Salmon burger and said it was delicious too -$26. It comes with a side of fries and they separate the vegetable toppings in case you don't want any. They also ordered the seafood Mac and cheese -$33. I thought it tasted good but they thought the crab and cheese was too salty and didn't like that they bit into some crab shells (but hey at least you know it's real crab! :P) I liked the panko crumb as the pasta topping. There's bread and butter available but you have to request it. Food pricing is more expensive but it's also fresh seafood and by the water so it makes sense. I didn't realize this until now but the online menu says a cup of clam chowder is usually $9... but $7 if you order an entree. And we got charged $9 for each cup even thought we ordered 3 entrees :/ There's plenty of parking available for customers. The path to get here can be a little confusing. Make sure you follow the signs when you enter the roundabout and stick to the left lane when going down the small hill or else you'll accidentally get in the lane leading to the ferry lol.

    Amazing food and even better ambiance with waterfront ocean views. Lauren is a key asset to this establishment, our waitress was so honestly kind and patient with us during our dinning experience. Thank you all, great way to spend our holiday. Respectfully, PaulMichael & Alla M.

    We had birthday celebrations last night because the birthday celebrates chose Anthony's. We were not very excited because the last several years the service and food decreased. We were so delighted! The service was great and the food delicious. We all had the Early bird special menu. There was yummy clam chowder & Cesar salad for the starter. We had for the main meal: Smoked Salmon Fettuccine, Petite NW Top Sirloin, Roasted Scampi prawns, and NW Wild Salmon Duet. Dessert we all hade the Bailey Irish Cream chocolate mousse.

    Although the presentation may not very competitive, it is still one of the best in Ruston where packed with a few decent seafood restaurants along the beach shoreline from Point Defiance up to the north by Ruston Way (a seven-mile round trip walk on a paved trail).

Some dishes feel elevated and memorable, while others feel surprisingly average. Out of the three sushi options served at Mother's Day brunch, one was fantastic, but the buffet items like the chicken and short rib were honestly pretty boring and forgettable. Desserts were the same story... the chocolate ganache and panna cotta were excellent, but some of the pastries literally tasted store-bought.

I just wish the food quality was more consistently elevated across the board to match the pricing and overall concept.

I couldn't remember the name of the place, but we found it: The Fish Peddler! We must have arrived at a perfect interval because there was a table for two that had just been bussed and ready for us near the large counter in the back where food was collected by servers and presented to hungry patrons at any of the 30-40 tables. Our server was genuinely warm and delightful and guided us to the menu and the on-line beer on tap information. Drinks were ordered and delivered in minutes - just enough time for us to announce our selections: A 3-piece halibut and chips for her, and for me, the albacore tuna with spring greens and gouda cheese on sourdough with a pint of I'm Not Afraid Of Music. It had the lowest alcohol content, and since I was driving, didn't want to push my luck. When our huge white dinner plates arrived - oh - did I mention the amazing jalapeño coleslaw? - we were amazed at the size of the perfectly deep fried halibut - which, on their own, provide a good bite, making only a smitten of tartar sauce necessary because you gotta have tartar sauce with fried fish, after all, right? I picked up one my sandwich haves and removed the toothpick with too much gusto and suffered a small splinter that I couldn't remove until I got home a couple of hours later with the help of a magnifying glass, a tweezer and some masking tape. But I ignored the splinter while I enjoyed my "this is NOT your mom's - or HER mom's - Tuna melt". The perfect balance of the albacore spread with the gouda showing up gloriously in almost every bite, the pillowy and cool greens and tomato slice that balanced the heat from the albacore between the two lightly toasted sourdough was my Valentine's Day gift to my mouth. We were stuffed, but not defeated - we ordered our cheesecake to go, and I get to have the last piece of halibut for a snack later on! It was great getting re-acquainted with This cozy, fun, busy restaurant since our last (and first) visit 3 years ago. My only regret is that for some unknown but surely inexcusable reason, I had waited three years before returning. Won't happen again.

Back before it was sold, my dad would come in, sit at the table, and instantly a Manhattan was placed in front of him. That wonderful, old-type service. The new owners have been around for a while and did a wonderful refresh on the property. They kept a lot of the household favorites on the menu -- mine being the shucked and sautéed crab legs. Extremely decadent and pricey, but well worth it. Anytime you're wanting to come for a birthday or a special event, I highly recommend this dish.

Today was supposed to be a quick, light stop after work: shrimp cocktail, a couple drinks, and some time in the old Harbor Lights bar. Walking in, I was immediately reminded of one of my biggest frustrations with this space. Yes, it's small--but the outdated tables and chairs make it far too easy for people to block the walkways. And when those walkways are filled with loud, inappropriate, "stuck-in-1976" commentary from intoxicated older men acting like they're still in their 20s, it makes navigating the room even more uncomfortable. At one point, we were stuck sitting there listening to them loudly joke about having female urologists and proctologists--one word: GROSS. Speaking up doesn't feel like a safe or worthwhile option--it just escalates things. The bar could absolutely keep its charm while still evolving into a more comfortable, modern, and inclusive space. Then there's the menu situation--multiple menus stacked in front of you like a paper shuffle. It's unnecessary and could easily be streamlined. Now, the drinks... this is where things really fell off. Harbor Lights used to be known for strong drinks--that reputation feels long gone. I ordered a vodka-based drink and it went down like juice--no taste, no kick, nothing. When I asked for a double on the second round, the bartender laughed and said all their drinks are doubles and that they don't measure, claiming there was 2 1/2 oz of liquor in it. We watched him make it: no measuring, just a free pour over ice, stopping well short of the top, then filling it with rhubarb-strawberry purée. When it arrived, it felt more dropped on the table than served. I gave it a fair shot--a big sip--and again... no vodka taste whatsoever. No burn, no effect. I know my liquor, and this didn't add up. It really makes you question what's actually being poured. And then... the shrimp cocktail. How do you mess this up? This was the one thing I could always count on. It's always been unique and consistently good--but this time? Way too much horseradish. Completely threw off the balance. I still ate it, but it was not the same experience at all. Overall, this visit was disappointing. Between the uncomfortable atmosphere, lackluster drinks, and a once-reliable favorite falling short, Harbor Lights just isn't what it used to be.

    A nice girls night here…read more That good ol Tacoma parking is a bitch. Once you're parked, you're good. The hostess was very nice and very attentive. She even provided us with recommendations on the menu. This lil spot in Tacoma, across from the matador is so cute. Honestly would've missed it driving by. Once you enter, it's very inviting. Has a nice chill ambiance to the place. Food was super delish. A tad on the higher priced side but totally yummy. My pork chop was HUGE!! Thick but well cooked! So much flavor through and through. Them zoodles my friend ordered was fabulous. Zero sogginess and the sauce was pretty damn good. I really like this spot. New addition to my GO-TO spots in Tacoma.

    First, my apologies. I was catching up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while so forgot to take…read morepics. Nonetheless my review is detailed and honest. My first time at West 122 as I had been wanting to try this for months. Here's the positives... Love the brick and mortar ambiance inside. It just had an overall good community vibe. Presentation of food was beautiful. What else we experienced... My friend ordered a Sprite and I ordered a cocktail. She was served a lemonade and my drink was pretty sour so I ordered some simple syrup. The Sprite came but it took 20 minutes to get my simple syrup. By that time I was sort of over having a cocktail. Honestly, the venue was not full and all I wanted was some simple syrup in a shot glass. We ordered the burrata, caesar salad and the special with the octopus tentacles, asparagus, peppers and capers over polenta. The caesar salad on the menu lists "red gem lettuce tossed in house-made caesar dressing, topped with bread crumbs and shaved parmigiano reggiano. While I liked the idea of not having croutons as they're sometimes difficult to maneuver with a biteful of salad, there must have been a quarter cup of bread crumbs over the top, so much so that you couldn't even see what was underneath. Next, the menu describes the burrata as "creamy burrata with pea vines, roasted peas, pickled asparagus, and artichoke." When it arrived, we were truly wondering if we had ordered the right thing. Only until we moved the sea of greens did we see the burrata. Nowhere on the menu did it mention that we were actually ordering a salad with burrata underneath. Very unfortunate and misleading because my friend ordered the Caesar for dinner and didn't know she was actually getting a second salad. In addition, we ordered the baguette with butter/oil and what came to us for $11 or some rather non descript rolls. The octopus special was the star of the show. The colors, flavors, char on the octopus...everything except that it was surrounded by a fair amount of paprika oil, so much so that I had to work around it in order to not give my stomach a run for my money later in the evening. A dish I wanted to finish but just couldn't because of that issue. In addition to that, refills of water were non-existent and it took close to 50 minutes to get our dinner. Also, our waitperson was very pleasant but seemed rather overwhelmed. Even after waiting 15 minutes for the simple syrup, when she finally did bring it, she looked surprised that I no longer wanted it. Yes, she took it off the bill, but I would have much rather enjoyed one of the specialties of the house. So many mishaps that didn't need to occur. Truly disappointed that our evening went that way.
