Let's start off with this: the atmosphere is awesome. Â Love the 'green' part of the business and that they have a little deli and bakery. Â
We went in for Happy Hour to celebrate my sister's birthday. Â The Happy Hour specials weren't posted anywhere, so we asked our server. Â She stumbled thru the specials, missing a few things we'd seen online. Â When we asked about them, we were told that they were out of a few menu items because of a new chef. Â We had to ask several times for water and a few other items, which is always frustrating. Â When we went to tab out, it took at least 5-10 minutes. Â One of my biggest pet peeves of dining out is not being able to leave when I'm ready. Â
We tried the fries and the friend pickles. Â Both were good, but nothing special. Â Typical bar food, but not what you would expect from a place like Anton's. Â The drinks were nothing to write home about - totally something you could get somewhere else. Â The only reason I would return to Anton's is to sit in their little backyard area. Â And hope for better service.
My husband and I went there tonight -- the reviews hadn't been great, but we decided to give it a chance. Â We were very pleased with our experience there. Â They have a new executive chef who is passionate about the restaurant and the concept. Â I had the tilapia which was fabulous and my husband had the pork burger and we were both very happy. Â To those of you who have had less than desireable experiences, I urge you to try it again.
Review Source:I give up! Â I want to like this place much more than it wants to like me. Â I'm not going to force it anymore, I'm going to count my loses and wish them well. Â Anton's has been the most inconsistent business I have had interaction with in years. Â Everything from the front of the house service, to the bar, to the food, to the service. Â It has been a different experience on all six visits. Â Once I figured out it was a "seat yourself" establishment, it then turned into a "check in with the host" type of place. Â Items from the menu and the bar have not always been available. Â The service has been everything from sweet to bitter. Â It's a great space, a great concept and a great menu, but I'm done waiting for them to actually execute all of these things on a consistent basis. Â Done.
