| - Remodelled, Simplified and Changed Completely in March 2012
If you are expecting the Little Anthony's from three months ago, I am sad to say, it's gone. The menu is merely a faint echo of what it used to be, with a one page sparse offering now. Prices are up, portions are down. (but, you do get a comically large china plate to eat it off of though - perhaps this is to make you feel like you received a full sized meal) Gone are the linen table cloths and sharply dressed professional wait staff, in favour of younger informally dressed servers. The atmosphere is no longer inviting and comfortable - light green stained wood tables and bright orange chairs now densely populate a very open concept design. Now, it's a "hurry up, eat and get out" atmosphere. Don't try and have a conversation with anyone in this place now unless you are right next to them. Seriously. If you can get over the new lunchroom style atmosphere, the food is ok, but not great. There is better food, service and atmosphere for less, very closeby. To add insult to injury, have you ever heard of a real italian restaurant that doesn't serve a risotto of any sort? That's right, they axed that to, along with almost all of their formerly respectable wine list. With the new atmosphere, much less attentive service, and small menu, I think they're really going to miss the theatre/opera/ballet crowd they have relied on for so long. It certainly has me looking for alternatives now....
