Finding good seafood in East County
Those living in East County who might be craving a good salmon steak or grilled tuna feel that they might have to drive out to San Diego’s Embarcadero to Anthony’s Fish Grotto for some good dining.
That’s not necessary, as there are many good seafood dining establishments nearby. However, Anthony’s is known for their good service and good food and they have the dining awards to prove it. So just drive over to the Anthony’s in La Mesa for a wonderful dining experience (there are a couple scattered in San Diego County).
Everything is nice, clean, and casual. The service is fantastic and your food is served to you in a timely manner. Enjoy your halibut or fish and chips while looking out over at the duck pond nearby. The price is not cheap however it is worth it just to dine there. The portions are very filling and even the appetizers might get you to loosen up the notches in your belt.
The customer service is superb. Anthony’s has won at least eight San Diego Union-Tribune Readers’ awards for best service and seafood. So you’d like to eat Anthony’s food but don’t have the time to sit and dine out? That’s not a problem since the restaurant sells tuna and other kinds of marine foods to go.
Anthony’s is a good place to take the kids. They have an excellent child’s menu and after dinner, take them out to the pond to feed the ducks (there is a dispenser for duck feed at 25 cents a handful).
Anthony’s Fish Grotto is just across the 8 Freeway going toward La Mesa from El Cajon. It’s a great place for a light lunch or a casual dinner and unlike the Embarcadero downtown, there is plenty of parking available.
