Anthony's Fishette
 

Description

The Ghio family started out as fishermen plying the San Diego waters. In the late 1940s, clan matriarch Mama Ghio opened a small seafood diner called the Anthony's Fish Grotto. Her restaurants have been wildly successful for years, and though she's no longer overseeing them, her spirit lives on. At this venue, the long glassed-in dining room offers great views of San Diego Bay. On the menu, you will find fresh fish of all descriptions, changing daily. No meal is complete without a bowl of Mama Ghio's red clam chowder.

Have been there a few times and have enjoyed the meals each time. Most recently I had a bowl of clam chowder and salad with salmon that was delicious. The prices for a seafood restaurant are reasonable and as most people agree having a beautiful view makes your meal that much moe enjoyable.

Things aren't what they used to be at Anthonys. Overcooked dry fish. Tough steaks. Alot of the fish entree's are fried.. AVOID!

We usually try to get by here every trip to San Diego, BUT won't be going out of our way next time. We go for the view of the Harbor and like to have dinner and drinks at sunset. This time, because someone inside complained about the glare from the sunset, the terrace outdoor shades were drawn, completely blocking our view, we asked why her complaint outweighed ours and were simply told to move.....WHERE? inside? I go for the view and now it is gone. The food is very average, tasted frozen, not fresh and the calamari and clam strips were like rubber! the cocktail sauce is just ketchup and the service..hmmm..?! not sure why they didn't make the old lady inside move instead, now I'll never be back and won't recommend either!

Really outstanding location and view. Good food. I ate there one evening and was satisfied so I went back for lunch trhe next day. The dinner was great. The lunch was mediocre. The service was surly but fast. The halibut is a great catch. Chowder is better than average. Squid sandwich should go back in the ocean.

Anthony's Fish Grotto is # 1
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/9/09
I found the service to be exceptional the waiters and waitress were friendly and attentive, the food was great, some of the best sea food I have ever had. and the view refreshing, to sit on the waters edge and watch the sun set with my wife was more than I could ask for. I would recommend Anthony's Fish Grotto to any one that comes to San Diego.

I ate here the night before my one year wedding anniversary. I went to college in SD and was looking forward to going back to a restaurant I once loved. What a terrible mistake. The place has definitely taken a turn for the worst. The carpet were dirty and smelled awful. My husband had pasta that was drenched in sauce, there was barely any pasta. I unfortunately order the steak and crab legs. The steak was so tough I could barely cut a piece off and after trying the crab legs I realized that the first one had definitely gone bad. I should have been leary of our food being presented to our table too quickly after ordering. I tried to salvage part of another crab leg. I should not have. After leaving 90 percent of our meals untouched we left. I didn't eat anything else that evening and after two hours I began to endure the worst food poisoning I have ever experienced. I will never eat there again!

Not the real thing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/20/09
Anthony's is where people end up who don't know the great places to get fresh fish in San Diego. There are small restaurants attached to fish markets like the Fishery, El Pescador and and Point Loma Seafood and then fancier places like Oceanaire. All are good choices.

Don't waste your cash on this tourist trap
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/6/09
Yeah, the food used to be something special waaaay back in the day. Now it's just a tourist trap with major crowds near the airport. Save your cash and skip it.

This is a fun and great place to come down to get grab a bite to eat with the family. I love coming down here on a sunny weekend and grabbing some fresh fish tacos and watching the boats. Great San Diego hangout!
