Posted by Wilson PR on Jan 17, 2011 in Blog | Comments Off on Anthony’s Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes Opens!

After nearly three years of consideration, planning and successfully answering the Port of Anacortes’ call for proposals, Anthony’s Restaurant opened its newly constructed 6,800 square foot restaurant at Cap Sante Marina (1207 Q Avenue). The Seattle-based, family-owned restaurant, officially opened for dinner this evening.

 

“We’re delighted to be welcomed into this vibrant community, with its active families, outdoor recreation, fine arts, tourism and diverse businesses,” Budd Gould said, Anthony’s Restaurants’ president and owner.  “Anthony’s underscores the spirit of the Northwest that Anacortes so perfectly embodies; we’re excited to contribute to it.”

 

Before its doors opened, the new restaurant’s first order of business was hosting a Rotary Club of Anacortes private benefit for Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County – Anacortes and Gentry House, a Skagit Adult Day Care Facility. The event raised more than $15,000.

 

The restaurant, similar in style to Anthony’s Squalicum Harbor in Bellingham, offers seating for 132 guests in the dining room.  Two large, view decks seat another 100. The south side deck is seasonal while the north side deck is covered and features an outdoor fireplace. The latter adjoins a private dining room that accommodates 32 (seated), ideal for wedding rehearsal dinners and group banquets. A full bar, seating 42, brings Anthony’s popular happy hour.

 

Seventy-five new jobs were created by the new restaurant; applicants were primarily from Anacortes and the Skagit Valley. Tami Wolfe, a 20 year Anthony’s team member, was promoted from within the company to serve as General Manager; Kurt Phalmer was promoted to his new appointment as Chef.

 

For its first week, Anthony’s will serve dinner only, which begins at 5 p.m. Shortly thereafter, it will add regular lunch service. Hours will then become daily from 11:30 a.m., serving lunch, dinner, and added limited breakfast and specials during the weekend lunch service. Contact the restaurant for reservations at 360-588-0333.
