I'm not sure if it was because it was a Monday night, or perhaps there's been a change of management, but my last experience at Anton's did not warrant the 5-stars I want to give it.
I used to go to Anton's at least once or twice a month for some garlicky goodness in a loud (in a good way) and comfy, casual family restaurant. The food was always fresh and plentiful. It's a meat/fish and starch place - and everything always used to arrive sizzling hot and seasoned boldly (for game) and or on the side (literally a glob of minced garlic sauce for beef). My fav was the salad that comes with every meal - the dressing is phenomenal (more garlic)!
After being away from the area, I was stoked to get my garlic breath-on, amongst the clamoring crowd of customers. But this time, Anton's was quiet - there were only two other small tables of guests. While the salad didn't fail my expectations (phew!), my entree (New Mexico Chicken) was dry, really dry.
Hopefully it was just the night, b/c this place WAS among my top-five in North York.
