Anthony's Pier 4

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

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

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: 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: 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....
