Restaurants near Avignon by ABODA

We enjoyed our anniversary dinner last Friday at Barking Frog, and the food and wine, service and atmosphere were exemplary. They took great care of us and we were delighted with the experience. Thank you!

We had very high hopes for the food as several restaurants have failed in that spot. It is a very busy place and your scale might say "energetic" but really its just very noisy. The wandering guitar player, the godfather movie on the screen all great. the food in general was also good we had two issues - one, the food took a very long time as I think there kitchen is borderline too small when the restaurant is full. Also, the "spicy" clams in broth was not spicy at all. My wife, who co-owns a spice store asked what the spices were supposed to be and the service person responded "spicy Salumi" - there was no salumi in the broth at all - they kept saying it was until finally they brought out 4 pieces of salumi to "add" to the broth - it was really strange. They did remove the charge for that but without us asking so they are paying attention and we are happy to have new restaurants in downtown Kirkland - we may give it another try but probably won't order the clams again - the meatball appetizer was very good - and the staff was attentive but just a bit overloaded

Great food, friendly staff and chef. Prices are a little steep, but expected for specialty dining and in a high rent location. Salmon sushi was excellent and the calamari steak was good as well.

Excellent Christmas Eve menu, food and drinks delicious, patio seating are very well set up, service excellent. Great experience for our family of four adults.

We enjoyed our Christmas Eve dinner at Anthony's. Our food was delicious and the service was outstanding! The fish and chips were cooked to perfection and the steak with crab was scrumptious.
