Best WLM Reviews
This little tucked away restaurant is beautiful! The ambiance was perfect and we were able to look out onto the lake with the twinkling lights surrounding it.
We were seated right away on a Friday night, and Becky, our server, was extremely friendly and nice! We had someone with an allergy in our party and she did great to communicate with the kitchen and staff about the allergy and prepare a meal that was safe for that person. We all ordered something differently and everyone enjoyed their meal thoroughly! I had no idea this cute little place was tucked right behind the 8, it feels like you're world's away! I would recommend this restaurant for older children and families, as a date night out, or a girls night out. Definitely want to return here!
Anthony's Fish Grotto: A Timeless Classic
A La Mesa institution since 1946, Anthony's Fish Grotto offers a delightful dining experience. The restaurant's charming atmosphere, combined with its delicious food and refreshing drinks, makes it a must-visit. Whether you're a longtime patron or a first-time visitor, you're sure to be captivated by the classic ambiance and delectable seafood.
The atmosphere is the reason for a five star review… sit outside it’s amazing! Feed the ducks for 2 bucks. The food was ok.. crab cakes, oyster Rockefeller, Cesar salad.. not the best but 3 star for food. Service was ok. I would Go again to have some drinks and fun with friends. The signature drinks are good.
The atmosphere is pleasing and relaxing, with the water and nature in the background. However, I do like the outside better because the inside does have a smell of seafood, which most might not like. But, the outside is very relaxing and typically has good weather. Their food is delicious, and their customer service is always fast and good. The restaurant itself is a huge place. It is a nice place to have a good time with family. Although it is more of a seafood place, they also have a larger variety that has things other than seafood, for those who want. One thing I liked was that they messed up my daughter’s order and they fixed it, without us even saying anything to them first, which was really nice of them.
We have enjoyed Anthony's Fish Grotto at all three of its previous locations. Anthony's Seaside was the only place we could get a shark steak -- that we knew of. This is the only remaining store. Sometimes, they have shark, but not always. Today, I had a Crab Louie. I loved it. My wife had a grilled ahi tuna steak with pineapple salsa. She loved it.
Pretty good seafood!! Amazing atmosphere as well as service!! They have a dog friendly patio if you wanted the option as well
Very nice atmosphere to enjoy happy hour drinks, appetizers & lunch. I ordered calamari, cauliflower, wonton & ceviche appetizers for my family & I. For lunch I ordered the salmon reuben sandwich with a side of crab mac n cheese. Awesome food, service & atmosphere!
An absolute gem! Took my family here for my sister's birthday and enjoyed it! Great happy hour and the service was exceptional! They sat us outdoors with a beautiful view, had crayons on the table for my 2 kids when we got there, and had us near heat lamps so the kids wouldn't get cold! The whole family enjoyed the lake and feeding the ducks while waiting for food! I wish they had something like this in Houston! Definitely coming back!
