| - We were in the area to check out a certain store at the Shops at Don Mills. Since I don't like making single-purpose trips, we decided to have lunch here and try a restaurant that was exclusive to this area. After looking up restaurants here the previous night, we decided on Anthony's since the menu offerings looked good (description-wise) and prices seemed fair.
When we arrived, we were kindly greeted and promptly seated. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We definitely felt very welcomed.
While waiting for our food, we noticed the customer demographic (as mentioned in a previous review) was mostly elderly folks. "Cool" or "hip" would no doubt be the last words used to describe this place - but in the end, it's all about the food for me...
We ordered the Chicken Anthony's and Pork Schnitzel lunch menu special which included soup of the day (Tomato Basil), salad from the salad bar, and dessert. The soup was not that great and the salad was nothing spectacular, but not horrible either. However, the entrees were both very delicious and we definitely enjoyed our main course the most. For the dessert, I chose the Crème Caramel which was okay but did not taste very fresh.
Aside from those negatives, I would definitely be back again. The Chicken Anthony's was the best of the two dishes we ordered so I would most likely order it again. It is just a shame this place is so out of the way for us out-of-towners. (If there is a next time, I would probably choose something different or just forgo the lunch special add-ons altogether. The main course was pretty filling as-is.)
