  • The Society for Creative Anachronism's mid-20th Century section would love this place. I do not.

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: good food, good service

    Pros: Seafood, much free parking
    Cons:

    Summary: 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. ... read more

    Pros: Great food
    Cons: Awful prices

    Summary: 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. ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    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'.  

    Summary: 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.
