I arrived at the podeum , while I saw all sorts of staff go by not one of them acknowledged me. I waited 5 minutes before anyone spoke to me. Upon ordering the waitress stated "We are out of Shrimp, Scallops and Gnocchi if you want to leave now go ahead". We had to ask what the specials were she never offered. I ordered a meal that had both shrimp and scallops in it and requested more clams in replacement. When it came it did have 2 shrimp in it that were old,and hard as a rock. I don't know where they got them from. It tasted like they took them out of another dish, washed them off and recooked them in my meal. Upon ordering we told her that alchoholic beverages had to be paid for seperatly. The bills had one dinner on a seperate check than the rest. She charged one guest for one drink and put the other two drinks on another guests bar tab. Upon attempting to order desset "We don't have any desserts its too hot". Whatever that means. I never knew it to be to hot for a restaurant to offer dessert. No offer of coffe or anything else. Just "Do you want your bill". We agreed. 25 minutes later we sent a guest up to retreive the bill as she never came back with it. Now you may make excuse for her or the restaurant being overly busy so let me put those thoughts to rest. I had a party of 6 and there was one other table of 7 in the whole restaurant . Also it had been 95 degrees for the past and they did not have airconditioning or the fans on. Half way through the meal a bus boy came out with a chair and pull all the stings to the 6 ceiling fans. Now all of this may not seem too horrible for a low priced restaurant however the dinners range from $14.99-$22.99 so it is not a low range restaurant in this area. It is suppose to be one of the highest quality. Now I am not just bashing Anthony's, my business has had two other dinners here that were fine that is why we had gone back for the 3rd. and were really looking forward to it. However I will never go back again.
Cons: Wait staff, temperature, lack of food available that is on the menu
