Fodor's Expert Review Anthony's Homeport at Shilshole Bay

Anthony's isn't a culinary destination by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a Seattle institution, and this Ballard branch has marvelous views out over the Shilshole marina. It's a comfortable waterfront restaurant with ample outside seating in protected nooks, allowing you a sea breeze and great views without getting blasted by gales. The seafood preparations are simple and occasionally as good as those of the more upscale Ray's, next door.
