Anthony's Pier 4 Fish Market

I honestly don't even know what to write because we just got sat. That was about it. We got sat and waited. There was a table that sat after us and got greeted right away. We waited some more and then decided to just leave. This place needs to work together and be more attentive.

Being from lynn and growing up in such a diverse city I never would've thought I would face discrimination and racism so close to home. Went there last Friday evening after looking at a car so I thought it would be nice for my girlfriend and I to enjoy a nice restaurant on the beach so we ended up at this spot. We were hungry and swept thru the reviews for this place (not so great) but because it was near dinner time and everywhere required reservations or was already booked we just decided to go here. Upon entering we are already getting the stares because of our appearance, doorman greeted us but looked us both up and down, the older gentleman that sat us didn't give up a drink menu maybe assuming our age. He sat us right in the middle of the restaurant surrounded by all empty tables meanwhile all the other guest had a window view of the ocean, mind you the place was pretty empty.. we sat for about 10-20 mins as two waiters kept walking by us while greeting new customers that came in after us. The staff was well aware that they were overlooking us as they kept making eye contact with me knowing I was becoming impatient. About 25 mins in we decided to leave before we can even stand the older gentleman from the front desk rushes over to try to get us to stay knowing the service we have not been serviced with. We left and went to Blue Ox which was by far was more delicious. Overall I was displeased by the behavior of this place both customers and staff. Do better

Great place for sea food and family time. Lobster was great and my son loved it. There bread is great with butter.

Tried it tonight for first time. Terrible terrible terrible service and little response from management. No discount offered on our uncooked food or lack of service. An embarrassment of a restaurant. The only good thing was the view.

Not to get all meta on you, but, face it, most Yelp reviews have limited utility regarding selecting a good restaurant, foodwise. Although everyone considers themselves to be a discerning food critic, they, well, are not. And fully 70% of negative reviews involve some sort of negative interaction with a staff member. This is going to be one of those reviews. Caveat Emptor. My family and I were looking for a special location for a milestone family event. We selected Anthony 's. Seaside! Great North Shore reputation for my entire life! And event kinda old school restaurant. They advertise functions on their website! A great venue for 30 attendees. What could go wrong? After booking what we thought was a function room months in advance, I decided to do a drive by a couple of days prior to the event. The restaurant was open, so I asked to see the function room. It was apparently the part of the main dining room that is featured in the Yelp main photo. It could kinda sorta be partitioned from the rest of the dining room. When I reminded the manager that we were going to have an acoustic string quartet, the manager family member had a meltdown. He almost yelled, NO MUSIC! NO MUSIC! I walked out. As I was leaving, I noticed that the place looked dirty and tired, like the oldest airline terminal in your least favorite airport. We found another venue elsewhere with two days notice, but it was stressful. I 'll leave you to guess whether there will be a return visit.
