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.

Very friendly staff and waitresses/waiters. Chowder is (as always) outstanding. Fish and shrimp meals were fresh and cooked to perfection.

It was bittersweet! Knowing it would be the last time eating there before they closed, I had the fish and chips AND the coconut shrimp. Both were delicious as usual. I can't count the number of times I've taken friends, family and visitors here for lunch. The spot was perfect. Thanks for the memories Anthony's ! You will truly be missed!

We had such a wonderful meal here last Friday. We were very emotional as we pondered that this would be our last time - it's been a joy knowing that Anthony's would always be there to provide a great meal and good service on our visits to San Diego and we have spent some wonderful times here celebrating dearly-loved family members who are no longer with us. Like so many others, we feel a prevailing sadness as we reflect on how history and legacy are often disregarded nowadays for the sake of profit and homogenization. I am d... read more
