Really cute atmosphere, I wish the food and prices measured up. The servers are slow and not well trained. I'll go again, but only if I'm bored, feeling my inner mermaid, and have money to burn.

Why travel to Point Loma or downtown for seafood? We have our own gem right here in La Mesa. Anthony's has the best selection of seafood in East County. We eat there every chance we get. The prices are great.
