Anthony's Fish Grotto

4.5

About this business

A man-made lake provides refuge to wildlife and dozens of tame ducks, providing entertainment for the diners at this long-established San Diego seafood restaurant called the Anthony's Fish Grotto. It also makes the hour-long dinnertime wait much more pleasant for kids and adults alike. Seafood is the best bet here and the daily specials offer great value and delicious preparation. The Clam Chowder, from Anthony's matriarch Mamma Ghio, is renowned, a rich red broth liberally studded with tender clams.

Our waiter was excellent and the food was delicious. I was very disappointed that they are not only charging a service charge but have doubled it in just a few months. Customers shouldn't have to pay because you're not willing to pay a livable wage to your employees. I doubt I will return for that reason. Raise your prices slightly if need be but don't insult your customers by making them pay the wages of your staff!

This review is not for the food. The food was stellar. Its so unfortunate for the staff in the back of the house to have all of their talent and skill undermined by extremely unprofessional and downright rude front of the house staff - from the lowlife scab hostess named Giavanna to the manager who apparently doesnt care one bit about how bad said hostess speaks to Anthony's customers. Thats right, walked in w my family for mothers day and my sister was inquiring w the mgr Valaree at the front about the reservation we had...... read more
