What People Are Saying About Carmen Anthony Fishhouse
Featured Review

The Scene – The owner might have begun his restaurant career with a degree in "Hamburgerology" from McDonald's University, but all that's remained from those days is prompt service. White linen covers the tables both inside the large dining room and outside on the seasonal patio. The decor is simple but elegant, as are the food presentations. – – The Food – The appetizers are so good, entrees may go untouched. The house crab cakes are lump crab meat encased in a golden crust of potato strings. Fried lobster tails are light without a trace of grease. All fish selections…
Editor's Tips
- Italian Delights:
- For a light dessert, try one of the fruit sorbets imported from Italy, served in their own fruit shells.
- Top-Shelf Selection:
- Over 150 wines are offered, as well as fine cognacs and liquors.
- Well-Done Disclaimer:
- If you order your steak well and don't like the taste you're out of luck: A disclaimer on the menu absolves the restaurant of responsibility.

Not worth the money

Connecticut's Best!
by equity6 at Citysearch
Carmen Anthony in Avon continues to be one of the area's premier restaurants. The level of service matches any great restaurant in the country. It is truly 5 Star! The steaks are very good, but it is the creative seafood that stands out here. The fish is always fresh and prepared several different ways to order. The salads are great and innovative. Our favorite dishes include Shrimp Christina and Lobster Fra Diavlo. The whole dining experience here is wonderful!
- Pros: service, fish dishes, bar menu
- Cons: dessert creativity, average bartender

Fishhouse? Carmen's Steakhouse is where
by vw1972bug at Citysearch
Yes the Carmen Anthonys Fishhouse in Avon is great and indeed, they do have great steaks but it is a Fishhouse, they mostly serve seafood not steak. Now, If you want to experience some of the best steaks and best service in Connecticut please check out the Carmen Anthonys Steakhouse in Waterbury. They have some of the best service and most importantly best food in Connecticuthands down. A little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for. The only competition this place has in CT is Ruth Chriss. If you want a outstanding prime rib, or a superb New York Strip that you will truly remember and talk about for months head on down to Carmen Anthonys Steakhouse in Waterbury, you will not be disappointed.
- Pros: Superb Food, Professional Staff, Very Romantic
- Cons: Expensive, Sometimes Crowded
