    I've eaten here many many times and it remains my favorite restaurant in Boston. Food is just spectacular and service is casually impeccable. We had such a lovely dinner, particularly the three in our party who had never been before. Have the tuna crudo from the raw bar menu--relatively simple but as good a dish as I've ever had.

    We dined at Anthony’s Pier 4 Cafe for the first time recently on our wedding anniversary because our wedding reception (44 years ago) was at the original Anthony’s Pier 4 in Boston. We were a bit concerned by the use of the word “Cafe” in the name thinking it might be a disappointingly scaled down version of the Anthony’s we remembered. It is not. The restaurant is large, with first class furnishings and layout that are strikingly reminiscent of the original restaurant. It was pitch dark out at dinner time in late December so we could not see the water, but it is on the water and during daylight or early evening hours must be a beautiful view. The food was excellent (I had an end cut of prime rib that was excellent and my wife had swordfish which she found excellent as well). We shared the baked Alaska for dessert which was excellent. The remote location (from our home in West Roxbury) is the only thing that would keep us from being regulars. It will be top of the list for future anniversaries at a minimum, however.

    Em was a fabulous server. Food was delicious. Wines were good, not fantastic, but they grew on you. Fisherman’s Platter, fish and chips and lobster roll and clam strips were enjoyed by all. Overall a lovely evening.
