Anthony's Hearthfire Grill Olympia

Simply the best place for a delicious meal. Lunch on the water, watching ships, boats and kayaks glide by. Best blt this side of the Rockies. Or an early bird three course dinner. I recommend the shrimp cocktail - the best I've ever tasted.

We arrived at Anthony's last Saturday and were appalled! We were a party of six, and at first, the hostess was able to seat us; however, when she heard we may only have drinks and appetizers, all of a sudden the tables were reserved. Not only was she rude, but she stated they were reserved with a hoity toity attitude. Anthony's is not a fine dining exclusive restaurant. It is a franchise one step above Applebees. I can't believe we were subject to such an attitude from this restaurant.



We ended up going to the Oyster House. We had drinks, appetizers, then all decided to also have dinner.

I have had mixed experiences here.



A drink in the lounge is expensive in my opinion. You don't have much if any view from the bar and the prices are high. In fairness the drinks are also well made and large.



Early dinner specials are not top rate. Pasta with a smattering of sauce and little else.



Regular dinner items are much better quality but very fast get into the 'only on a VERY special occasion' price range. Want a salad with it? Figure on another several dollars more.



This is one to save up for and make a reservation ahead and hope for a window table as it is a wonderful view.
