Just simply underwhelmed. Our friends had visited Anthony's last summer and did nothing but rave about it, so when picking a plce to celebrate our anniversary we decided to give it a whirl. It's an hour drive for us but we wanted something different, so when I started talking about where we were going we heard nothing but positive feedback. We were promptly seated when we arrived, watered and given a drink menu and bread right off....the bread was rock hard....the waiter prompt and trying to be helpful brought a taste of wine for my husband and promptly brought us our drinks, rattled off the specials. We ordered French onion soups as an appetizer oddly heavy but not terrible. My husband ordered the duck special with a raspberry balsamic reduction, the duck itself was very good, however the bed of rice it laid on was bland. There was 2 broccoli pieces on the side with some sort of sauce on it and then pureed carrots....sweet doctored pureed carrots. I thought it was sweet potato would have made more sense. I ordered the filet Oscar, my filet cooked well medium rare just how I like it and the lobster was good. However again...pureed sweet carrots and I actually got 2 pieces of broccoli with no sauce...no butter just steamed. Then there was a weird looking square chunk of something on the plate as well, I was told it was scalloped potatoes? It was horrible it actually tasted like the worst processed cheese i have ever tasted. I ate the filet and broccoli and then went for sushi.....I am extremely disappointed in our experience. I wanted it to be amazing, I found the staff over dressed and lacked the knowledge of the fine dining experience. We hope to try it again sometime in the future.
Of all the restaurants in Plattsburgh this is by far the best. The food is delicious and the service is always top notch.This is the one place my partner and I regularly visit and both enjoy every time. It may be more expensive than other places nearby but well worth it for sure.
Exceptional service, delicious meals, and the perfect atmosphere for a celebratory dinner for two. The seafood was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back!
My friends took my husband and I to Anthony’s last night to celebrate our 48th anniversary! The table was ready as per our reservation and Jeremy, our waiter was excellent. Two of us had the red snapper special: broiled red snapper over a bed of seasoned rice with steamed carrots broccoli and grilled grape tomatoes. Delicious! One had venison that falls apart in your mouth and the sauce bursts with flavor, My husband had the bison steak and he loved it. Too full for dessert, we ordered a berry pie slice and a special maple creme du brûlée to go. I’m eating that for lunch today! It’s like heaven in a cup! I highly recommend this restaurant. We have been frequenting it for years and have yet to be disappointed. Good work staff and owner!
We frequently visit Anthony’s Bistro when we travel North from Florida and it never disappoints! We happened to hit it on a Friday night and place was bustling. We enjoy dining in the lounge area which has a great atmosphere and vibe. The bartenders, servers and chefs provide a delightful experience start to finish. I love duck and it happened to be a dinner special that night!! It was beyond delicious. Pan seared duck breast with a blackberry, balsamic and port wine sauce. To top it off they had a extremely talented electric pianist who’s name was Jay Lesard (not sure about spelling). The music is just a perfect blend of popular tunes that he puts his own twist on and you literally don’t want his act to end.. it’s that good. And you can still hold a conversation without the tunes taking over the room. Can’t wait to go back!!
A great evening out! We missed our morning flight out of Plattsburgh and spent the day in town to finish at Anthony’s. Great friendly and professional service! The food was quite excellent from a varied menu. Thank you so much for a beautiful way to end this eventful day.
Highly recommended by friends, we booked a reservation. Disappointed by the limited menu and rude wait staff (Colleen) who seemed disinterested at best. We have received better service from chain restaurants. It seemed like we were more of a bother than valued customers. I would definitely not recommend.
The ambience is so nice and the food is good. I had the grilled calamari for appetizers and grilled Mahi Mahi. My friend got the grilled duck and that too was cooked to perfection. We are in the area for a few weeks working and we have agreed we will have to go back.
We go occasionally and it always amazing. Truly first class. I have sales representatives whom travel the USA and have dined at some very top end quality restaurants and Anthony’s always is a topic of comparison. Excellent
We eat here a few times a year and I’m always disappointed with the lack of plant based vegan options. Basically there are none, unless you order salad. Removing an animal product from a few dishes is always an option but then the entree is boring. Hopefully Anthony’s will get with the times and start supporting a growing movement of plant based eaters at some point. Iris’s restaurant is a good alternative.
