    We had not been to Anthony's in several months due to difficulty with noise level during our last dining experience. We are so glad we went last night. Everything about the experience was positive, including the level of noise. While the restaurant was mostly full throughout our time there, we had no difficulty talking at a normal level with each other and hearing everything our server said. The atmosphere, as always, was muted lighting and romantic. The food was great. We started with escargots then on to wedge salads (nice variation on what is typically a predictable salad) then pastas - gnocchi for me, lasagna for my husband. Paired escargots with bubbly then nice wine with dinner. What truly made our evening was our outstanding server, Taylor. She had the best personality, good sense of humor but always professional, and made excellent recommendations. Can't wait to go back!

    We are a family of foodies. Seldom do we all agree on excellence. At Anthony's last night it was unanimous! They customer interaction , timely service delivery and exceptionally reasonable pricing made the evening a standout. But most outstanding was the food. Each meal was so brilliantly prepared we all have to go back to order the other members of our party's dish! Remarkable evening. Please Go there!!

    This was our first visit and we were very impressed. We arrived at our reservation time and were seated immediately. The restaurant has a classy look about it and the wait staff is friendly and efficient. All of the dishes at our table for four were on point and the portions generous. The owners obviously maintain very high standards for food prep and service. The noise level was a little high as there were several birthdays being celebrated around our table. Very enjoyable evening and we will be back.

    Worse experience ever for a New Year Eve experience. Waited over an hour for food that was not hot. Four tables were served before we were attended to for status of our meal. Servers acknowledge everyone they knew and ignored us as not regular customers. If you are not from the Murrieta area I would not recommend making any effort of going out of your way to experience something different.
