Anthony's Pier 4

Pros: Mushrooms, popovers.  Flawless cooking and service.  Great view.
Cons: Cooking lacks artistry.  No zest for life, no creative spark.

Medieval Times is great, as tacky concept restaurants go.  Build a cinder-block "castle", serve people roast game hen and soup, give them a show of stunt jousting and stage swordsmanship, and everyone's had fun, even though we all know that ...

Pros: Ample parking; interesting area
Cons: Over priced, over rated, strictly a tourist trap

Having been to Anthony's a number of times I decided after the last visit that it would be just that: the last visit.

My sister and I took my mother there for Mother's Day. It was an important event for us because my brother had died eight...

Pros: Best place to bring your Grandmother in Boston
Cons: Food is just average

Anthony's Pier 4 is a Boston institution. It's one of those places that is famous for being famous. It's a large place with nice fireplaces inside and lots of windows that show off the gorgeous view of Boston harbor. And sometimes, Anthony the owner,...

Pros: Food, atmosphere, service, wine list
Cons: Prices can be high

I have two perspectives on Anthony's Pier Four. I am a Boston resident, and when younger, I was a waitress at Anthony's and got to know the restaurant very well. Here are my feelings about the restaurant:


Great Atmosphere: Very...

Pros: good food, nice view
Cons: high prices, unoriginal menu, poor vegetarian selectionn

Anthony's is an overpriced tourist trap. It's not that it's not a good restaurant, because it is, it's just not the best of what Boston has to offer.

Anthony's has been around forever, and that is the problem. Restaurants in Boston tend to...

Pros: Good variety of decent seafood
Cons: Over Priced, does not take reservations, average atmosphere

Anthony's Pier Four is very over rated. Tourists go there because they are told that this is the place to go but there are better choices.

They are known for seafood and have decent seafood but the cooking is not particularly artistic or...

Pros: good food, good service
Cons: You need to drive or take a cab to get there

A former boss - who I am still very fond of - used to take his staff here for our festive holiday lunches. It really was an event. Would would all troop over there and withe harbor as a backdrop celebrate another year together.

Okay, it is a...

Pros: Seafood, much free parking
Cons:

I have always liked Anthony's Pier 4. First off, there's the aura - just walking around the lobby, looking at the photos of the people who have eaten there is entertaining! And the food: The seafood is tops in Boston. The lobster, I find, is incredible....

Pros: Great food
Cons: Awful prices

Anthony's Pier 4 is a wonderful restaurant located at Boston's Pier 4. While you eat seafood you can look out the window and see the beautiful view of the water. Sometimes 'Mr. Anthony' as all the frequent customers call him, will come greet you himself....

Pros: nice waiter.  fantastic deep dish blueberry pie!  certainly not crowded.  
Cons: the place is a dump, outside, walking in i said ' oh my god'.  

the food was certainly not horrible, but, definitely not worth the money.  the place is a little more than worn around the edges.  we were there on a sunday afternoon, bright daylight, my god they should spend a little money on the place.  all our steaks were overdone, the swordfish was a teeny little piece for $26 and overdone as well.  the only thing i could come up with is they really do not care about this place and must be planning on closing.
