DON'T FALL FOR THIS OVER-PRICED TOURIST TRAP – This place is terribly over-priced and the management is quite unfriendly. The wait staff seemed ok but I felt bad for how they were treated. It seemed as if they were not happy with their jobs. This is supposed to be a must see attraction for people visiting Boston but it just an expensive, cheesy tourist trap. The food was pretty good but definitely not worth it.

DISAPPOINTING 40th birthday dinner – I had a surprise birthday dinner of 20+ people at Anthony's. My waiter was a petite man with white hair who had the personality of a wet blanket. He acted as if we were imposing on his time. He didn't even tell me whether or not a salad came with my lobster - I had to ask! The waiter never returned to our table to ask how my food was. The food was good, but not great - and certainly not worth high price. The decor was stuffy and outdated. Staff surrounded our table staring at us and makin... read more

Worst ever – We wanted to have a nice meal on an early Saturday evening, remembering old good times at the Restaurant. The waiters were so rude, and the staff at the entrance was so rude, that we got up and left. I will never go there again, unless the ownership changes, and I hope that will happen soon.

Anthony's Pier 4 terrible – Spectacular view is about all Anthony's Pier has left. People need to get over what it "once was". I'm sure they have their moments when food and service is impeccable but a place such as that for it's money and potential should be consistent. As a former restuarant manager and a dining out expert, I felt our server was horrendous and was annoyed to see us coming in from theTrade Center home show. I had never felt a server to acually dislike me. It was off peak hours and very quiet so I usually do... read more

I cannot believe the negative reviews! – I just completed the review about my first date at Pier 4 40 years ago!! Then I read the negative reviews ! I have always found the waitsraff attentive and the fish outstanding. If the Bisque is not hot enough they immediately correct it. No restaurant is perfect but these nrlegative opinions do not do justic to this great restaurant. Yes, it is a very big restaurant and not as crowded as it was 40 years ago when there were Lin lines to get in. But I kind of like a restaurant that is ... read more

Expect to be disappointed – I went to Anthony's Pier 4 for lunch with my husband and 2 kids and expected a great experience, but instead were greatly disappointed, even angry for spending $110 on a lunch no portion of which tasted half decent. Clam chowder was clearly out of a can and arrived to the table cold. Kids pasta was so bland they would not touch it after a few bites. Sashimi plate had old pieces of salad in it and the fish itself appeared to be cut by a plastic knife - just didn't look professional. A side dish of ... read more

Great Food, Great Service, Must GO!!! – You must stop at Peir 4. If you want to escape the new world of hurry up and eat so you can leave. Fine dinning for many years with great seafood. Everyone who gives this place a bad review doesn't know good dining. MUST GO!!!!!

Anthony would be ashamed – I had very high expectations about my first dinner at Anthony's Pier 4. I thought it was Boston's premier seafood restaurant, but was very disappointed. The decor was nice, but clearly outdated and poorly maintained. The restaurant was nearly empty and my party of six had a reservation, yet we had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. The waitstaff was friendly, but not very attentive to detail as they brought my father clam chowder instead of the fish chowder he ordered and included fried clams, which ... read more
