Great food, mad beer and wine selection!
I Stopped in with a group of 5 and never knew Anthonys Cafe existed. It was highly recommended by a friend. I was blown away by the beer selection- 68 varieties, and my wife loved the wine selections, 50+ varieties and most available by the taste and glass. The service was outstanding and the cafe ambiance was the best I had ever seen but the real reason we were there was for the food, I had heard alot but I was sceptical and wanted to judge for myself. The fresh baked Italian peasant bread served with a balsamic and fresh tomato vinagrette fired up my taste buds, Appetizers of Sauteed mushrooms and bruschetta were out of this world, crisp house salads were great and we all ordered a different entrees, I chose the Southern Creole, It had Shrimp, Chicken, Crab and sausage with risotto, wow, It was the bomb! We all split 4 desserts, Bananas foster, Tiramisu, Double chocolate mousse and a very rich and smooth chocolate cake. The coffee was outstanding and I asked the waitress what type of coffee they use and I found out that they make their own Anthonys Cafe blended coffee and they sell it in bags to go, My wife and I purchsed a bag and I think it was only 5 dollars, It was some of the best coffee I had ever had. I still could'nt believe this beautiful cafe was in Highland for 7 years. My wife and I met the Chef and owner on the way out, His name was Tony and he thanked us for our business and we thanked him for the wonderful evening. I had my expectations exceeded and so did everyone else, I Highly recommend Anthonys Cafe, check out their website at www.anthonyscafe.com

The people who eat here don't get out much.
The first problem with Anthony’s is that they don't know what they want to be. Is it Italian, as the name might indicate, or French, or American? I prefer to think of it as crumby-food fusion. While the sight of degustation offerings on the menu might get your hopes up as to the culinary standards of this restaurant, you’ll soon find that the dishes at Anthony’s taste like all of their ingredients were thrown together at the last minute and show no regard for the impact flavors have upon one another. Sauces, meats and pastas don’t compliment each other, instead; they taste like a series of individual flavors thrown together. In addition, pastas are routinely cooked far beyond al dente and the overall freshness and quality of the ingredients isn’t the best . I have been to Anthony’s twice and have found each time that my food and that of my guests has been uninspired and less than cohesive. Anthony’s offers soup or salad with your entrée, but this isn’t enough to make up for the indigestion you’ll experience from pricing that’s out of line with the overall quality of the dining experience. The bottom line is an much better Italian meals can be had for the same price at restaurants in Merrillville, Lansing and Chicago.

Best Restaurant in Northwest Indiana
You'd never suspect it from the outside, but inside this small, but intimate establishment is some of the best food I have ever been served. From the Angel Hair Marinara to the blackened steak, we have never had a bad meal here. Not only is the food wonderful, but the wait staff is efficient but not hovering. This is my family's first choice for special occasions.
Recommended: Filet Mignon, Spaghetti Marinara, anything on special
