 They are all atmosphere--the food sucks!  I've tried giving them a chance--
 I've been to them maybe 10 times over the last 15 years--and only once did
 I get a decent meal.  There are other fish restaurants which are much better--
 The Fish Market has always served great fish (plus I prefer its atmosphere
 to Anthony's), McCormick and Schmidt hasn't served me a bad dish yet, and
 The Spot has great Fish & Chips (better than Anthony's "Fishette").  Humphrey's
 also usually does a good job, though I've had some overcooked fish a couple
 of times.

 For some non-traditional places for Fish, Aesop's Tables has great fish kabobs
 (especially when they have Swordfish kabobs :) ).  My favorite place for fish
 is probably Mille Fleurs...

 I just went to Anthony's and I too found it overpriced and the
 fish overcooked.  If you just want fresh, good, grilled fish go
 to The Fish Market and have an Anchor Steam on tap to boot :->
