Anthony's - Haddon Heights

I recently ate at a charming restaurant with the choice of seating indoors or outdoors. The service was excellent and the ambiance was delightful. To start, I had a tasty crab bisque and calamari, followed by a beautifully prepared halibut dish. I was impressed by the presentation of the food and can't wait to go back for another wonderful meal.

I will never go back to that restaurant again. I ordered the Barolo Braised Short Rib Ragu, which was supposed to come with short rib, tomatoes, Barolo wine, shaved asiago, and pappardelle pasta. However, it came with rigatoni instead, and the wine tasted more like concord. I can make a better version at home, so what a waste. The Octopus app had very little octopus and was mostly filler, very disappointing. Additionally, the waitress told us we had stayed too long, so we requested our check. However, they never came to pick it up, so we had to bring it to them ourselves after waiting for half an hour.

The Octopus appetizer had very little octopus and was mainly filler, making it subpar. Additionally, the waitress told us we had overstayed our welcome, so we requested the check. However, no one came to pick it up for half an hour, forcing us to hand it over ourselves.
