Thursday night, it was busy, we sat in bar. Slow non-attentive service. Wife ordered the Flank Steak dinner $20. She liked it. Small portion. I ordered Cod Fish n Chips $20, fish was good but not impressive, it was like they picked 4 small pieces from a Gortons Fisherman frozen box. They did not state hand dipped or anything so maybe thats what it was. But i grew up with single mom so i ate a lot of boxed frozen throw in the oven food. The place looks casual fancy but food in my eyes is from Dennys and over priced at that for Dennys type food! I would give 2.5 stars honestly. If i was at Dennys and we ate this meal i would give 4.5 stars. read more

I was almost afraid to eat here given the abundance of poor reviews, but I am delighted to report that my husband and I had a wonderful meal, skillfully prepared and pleasingly presented by attentive and cheerful servers. The Salmon was delicious! It was quite a treat, and we will definitely be back read more

Can't believe the bad reviews...only had dinner in the restaurant once, but the happy hour food is great and so reasonable. The knife and fork salads are great, servers and management are really nice and friendly. We go there at least a couple of times a month and really enjoy it. read more

BAD, BAD, BAD. Anthonys should be ashamed of themselves. Every part of the meal from start to finish was bad. Took 30 min to seat us when they told us 15 min and there were empty tables everywhere. Took another 20 minutes to get menus and drinks and then an hour to get our food. All of our soups were cold and for $16 to $20 per plate I expect more than 5 pieces of shrimp and one sauteed red potato. My husbands seafood mac & cheese contained 2 tiny pieces of crab and 5 baby shrimps that looked like it came from a can and and a portion size to feed a small child. With so many excellent restaurants out there don't bother wasting your money on this one. read more

For the 2nd time in the last 6 months, we have had an absolutely terrible meal at the woodfire grill. Sllllloooowww service, over an hour to get our meal after we ordered it, and the restaraunt was less than 1/2 full. Food was served ice cold, waiter forgot my drink order and we had to ask for bread plates, utensils and things like that. And, to top it off, even the cold food was not cooked well. The vegetables were really undercooked and the meat was way over-cooked. Throw in a smarmy waiter and the total opposite of a pleasant experience. We won't be returning, ever. read more

The location for this restaurant is just beautiful. I loved having dinner out by the ocean while watching the sunset. It was gorgeous! As for the food, it was very good but its really over priced and they give you a small portion. It was worth it tho and I keep going back :) The waiters are also very friendly and helpful. read more

I visited this restaurant on Sunday, May 4, i've been to the Anthony's in Des Moines many times and I've always found it exception, I was completely disappointed in the experience at this woodfired Grill, I ordered a three-quarter pound piece of prime rib, and what I was served would barely qualify as a slice of deli meat. It was so then I could literally see the plate through this prime rib. Four pieces of small potato and half-dozen small snow peas. I sincerely doubt if that piece of prime rib even weighed a quarter of a pound. And then they put the horseradish on the prime rib I do not like horseradish, and have never had it served me on my prime rib before. read more

Just held a Wedding rehersal dinner for 32 - it was great. The planner bent over backwards to accomodate our needs and the service was excellent. Also the food was way above average - salmon was delicious, steak melted in my mouth and the chicken was a hugh portion. But the topper was the "Huckleberry Slump" with vanilla ice cream!!!!! Definitely going back. read more

We stumbled upon Anthony's last evening after discarding another restaurant. It was our anniversary. I wanted to see if there were any restaurants down by the water. We followed the smell from the parking lot! It was a little after 6 pm and the place was packed; we were told there would be a 45 minute wait to sit in the dining room so we opted to sit in the bar area overlooking the marina. Good choice. My husband loved the option of trying 4 ounce samplers of beer for 1.50 each. He tried several. He ordered the Dungeness crab drip, fried cod and fries and the knife and fork Caesar salad. I ordered the blue cheese salad and the Salmon plate. And the peach slump. The service was slow. Our salads arrived after our entrees. The server was very apologetic and comped us on them. The salmon plate and peach slump were delicious. My husband was equivocal about his choices. We will definitely come back but will try an earlier hour! read more

Had dinner at the Woodfire on Friday evening. The place was packed but we only had to wait about 10 min. before being seated. Nice table with beautiful marina view. We ordered a calamari appetizer and salmon dinners. Waitress was friendly. First out was a cup of crab corn chowder. Very good. But before we could finish it, the salmon dinners were there....the appetizers came last. No time to enjoy the different courses as the food was presented all at once and in an incorrect order. The waitress brushed it off with a laugh, but we weren't too pleased. The calamari had too much breading and was also very salty. The salmon was good, but the green beans weren't cooked through and the salad greens were limp, wet and boring. One of our party was really looking forward to having peach "slump" for dessert but they were out. Beautiful sunset view, but other than that the Woodfire was disappointing. read more

Used to like it better. Menu has fewer choices but still pretty good food and nice views of the marina and sound.

I give them 4 stars for effort. I'll start with the menu failing to mention that there is bacon on the caesar salad. Luckily my husband was more than willing to eat it so it didn't go to waste and they didn't charge us for it. They brought me a new salad that would have been really good had it not been saturated in dressing. Never did get bread but thats fine because I don't need the empty calories anyway! My husbands halibut was luke warm but it was still delicious. The portions were small. This is where the bacon on the caesar salad comes in handy; husband was able to fill up thanks to that free salad! The service was great, staff very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was very pleasant. It wasn't a perfect experience but it was good enough. We will definitely go back! read more

Poorly cooked food for high prices. Dry chicken. Too much salad dressing. Greasy. Over salted, stringy steak

The wife and I went out for a night out and would feel bad for someone that went out for a special occasion. We both ordered the steak and garlic prawns and a Bloody Mary for the wife (66 dollars before tip). The steak was very small but cooked as we requested and was the best thing on the plate. The garlic shrimp on the other hand should have been called diced potatoes with garlic and a couple of shrimp (not prawns). The shrimp were over cooked. The potatoes texture tasted like they may have been from a can. We did like the spices they used. The waiter seemed like he did not want to be there and kind of creeped me out. I cannot see coming back even for a steak, because I can go elsewhere and get the same quality Steak at a better price. read more

Service was poor, ribs were horrible, the chicken was okay but for the price it was no where near our expectations. Try somewhere else.

The Woodfire Grill continues to offer a pretty good happy hour, but I will have to say that sometimes the service and food quality varies widely. Not sure I'd want to spend the extra dollars to come here and pay for a full blown dinner. Food is just ok, service is often terribly slow, but most of the time that's ok since you're there to relax anyway. read more

The absolute worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant! The staff was horrible! The food was in no way up to standards, baked potatoes were old, hard & cold. We got one serving of bread for a table of 7, our waiter was more concerned with doing his side work, cleaning, & entertaining his co workers. The cook was yelling, cursing and throwing a fit over cooking our shrimp - we did not get what we ordered- barbecue shrimp- our steaks literally tasted old like they had been reheated. My filet was not a filet but a tough piece of meat cut in a circle. It took An hour and a half to get our food - and even though the steak was removed from our bill and we were comped free desert, there was nothing that could rectify the service and experience we rec'd!! If a restaurant states they serve till 10 they need to serve till 10 as though those customers are the first of the day. Unacceptable behavior behind the line where everyone could hear, the sou chef literally grooming her hair where the food is prepared, having to ask for more water..... I will never go back to this restaurant again!!!! read more

Amazing happy hour, from 3-close, half price wine on tuesdays...good staff, excellent manager, gorgeous view, one of our favorite places to go! Yum, yum!!! read more

I don't know what you are all talking about. the Woodfire has been great for years. The prices are good and the happy hour is great. Where can you get a micro beer for $3.00 and a chicken pizza for $5.00. We have been there many times and we have always had great service. You should try it again, one bad experience is the exception to the rule! read more

Hubby and I went to dinner here for the first time the other night. The service was excellent but the food was a different story. The "house" salad was a wedge of uncut lettuce, not enough dressing and besides a bit of shrimp and three little cherry tomatoes, nothing but iceberg lettuce. The beef , scallops and rice were fine but what appeared to be country potatoes under the scallops were hard and overcooked. The dessert was their chocolate pudding cake w/ icecream. You would think something with pudding in the name would be sweet and creamy. A dried out brownie would have been better and the chocolate was bitter. I doubt we'll be going back. read more

Ordered the surf and turf steak and lobster....terrible..lobster had no flavor..only butter taste. Steak was 2 inches thick..very hard to cut...chewy. Shrimp and tatoes..bad..3 shrimp...not good food at all..avoid. read more

I've been a regular of Anthony's Homeport for 10 years now. On a lark, I decided to try the Woodfire Grill in Everett for something different. Boy, was I sorry. The food was mediocre and the server ill trained. We ordered champagne as we were celebrating a birthday. She uncorked the bottle and proceeded to pour champagne in to the glasses without offering any of us a taste. She filled the glasses so fast that several overflowed all over the table. Obviously she had never opened a champagne bottle nor was she instructed in how to serve. After a totally unmemorable meal, we left knowing we'd never be back. What a let down! Not worth the overpriced food served and the service sucks. read more

this place sucks now. back in the 90's, it was called, Confetti's, and was much better. way more choices back then on the happy hour menu, like yakisoba, spit-roasted chicken and woodfire pizza. the mini shrimp cocktails have always been a joke, but i think you got more bang for your early bird special buck back then. the only reason i'm giving it 2 stars and not 1 is for the view/location read more

My wife and I went there for dinner tonight. The food we got was NOT worth what we paid. We both got the 10 oz stake our baked potatoes were bigger then the stake. The tomato soup was better than the stake I think. We also each got a glass of wine that was almost $8.00 each. I got a glass of ice tea I had no idea they were charging almost $4.00 for it. There is no prices for the drinks unless you want wine. Long story short is I went in hungry and went out $95.00 lighter and starving. So DON'T waste your hard earned money. read more

I am posting this review because I want to share my experiences as someone who keeps a boat in the marina, and eats there frequently. The hearts of Romaine salad is exceptional and while it doesn't have a lot of "extra" goodies...it isn't advertised as such and it is delicious. I can understand the one person who was upset with the salad being "a head of lettuce" when he wanted more, but I am not sure they offer that...at least on their bar menu. The pizza's, taco's, and bar burger are all excellent tasting an a reasonable value. I do eat in the dining room a few times a year and it offers a great ambiance...at a slightly lower costs than Anthony's next door. I do wish they would bring back the rotisserie chicken that had the orange zest seasoning that disappeared a few years ago, but that is about my only "ask". Given the amount of times I have been there, the one time I had an issue (and it had to do with a policy issue opposed to food), the manager did everything short of back flips to make things right. If you are looking a for a good meal with an excellent view of the marina...this is a great location. read more

My husband an I eat fairy regularly at Anthony's Homeport we like the waterfront location and the food is pretty consistent. Last night we decided to try the Woodfire grill just for something different even though it doesn't seem to get as good reviews. I had no complaints with the service which I read on some has been an issue. I was however a little disappointed with the food. I had the tomato soup to start which I did really enjoy. My husband had the caesar salad. I had that for my entrée with the chicken. It was okay but I prefer Homeports salad and the chicken was a bit dry. Those 2 salads were the same size no bigger for the entrée but you pay $10 more for the chicken. My husband had the chicken and ribs for dinner. The ribs weren't great and the bite I had was jerky like. He finished dinner with the creme brule which he was happy to see because it's his favorite at Homeport. It was fine but the creme wasn't very thick so the ratio to burnt sugar was off. Again Homeport does this better. I don't mind paying their prices for dinner but I was hoping for a better food experience for them. Maybe we just chose poorly from the menu. read more

We visited Anthony's Woodfire with, our family, a party of 8. We had reservations and were seated promptly. We were well taken care of by our server. Although when it came to the food, we were unimpressed. The amount of food and quality of food in comparison to price were not equal. The fish and chip & hamburger dishes had a very small portion of fries. The hamburger didn't offer anything special , actually less flavor then a less expensive American restaurant. The macaroni dish was great for flavor but the chicken in it was oh so dry and for a main dish the portion was small. The baked potato with one of the steaks was cold (which the waiter replaced). The broccoli sides in the steak plates were plain over steamed broccoli. The highlight of the salmon plate was the cornbread pudding. I am not thinking we will go back. The view was lovely and despite the noisy dining room it felt comfortable and pleasantly warm. If you are looking for fancier American cuisine than Bob's Grill keep looking. read more

After the two of us promptly were seated at a table of four; we sat and waited for 10 minutes before even being asked if we wanted any sort of drink. Five minutes after finally getting water; we were asked if we wanted bread. At first I thought "Maybe it is customary for the server to give you that much time to decide what you would like to drink." After being there for over 30 minutes we finally placed our order, which took another 25 minutes to come out. We asked for tartar sauce and waited at least 15 more minutes because the waitress said "Oh I keep grabbing it and putting it back down for some reason." Boy did that really make me feel like a joke as a customer because we weren't even on their mind as far as being customers; which was evident as she consistantly walked past us at the table without asking if we wanted or needed anything. To make matters worse she tried to talk about tours that were happening on the dock; which she knew absolutely nothing about. I must say....Anthony's in (Everett, Wa) really made my Memorial Day something to remember. read more

We have gone to Woodfire many, many, many times over the years, but will not be returning - not ever. Went for happy hour on 8/28/14, I tried a cucumber cooler drink that was described to me as refreshing and 'very sweet'. It was not sweet at all, tasted like a compost cooler and if there was any alcohol in it, I would be amazed. I ordered a small pizza, and while the toppings were quite sparse, it tasted ok. My dining companion however ordered fish and chips, one of the pricier happy hour items at $7.00. What arrived was a heap of tiny fries and two miniature pieces of fish the size of small chicken nuggets - absurd. When I think of how the menu choices have dwindled over the years (long gone are the oyster shooters, yummy shrimp with garlic mashed spuds, etc.) and how many times they have changed the chairs in that place (3 different chair styles in 10 years..) It's hard to believe it's even the same place. Maybe if they stopped buying freakin' chairs over and over they could put more quality and quantity into the food. Just sayin'........... read more
