Anthony's own spring-fed lake sits just back of the restaurant.

You can also sit outside in the back next to the water,
but you can't throw food to the dangerous ducks
except from a special pavilion situated far away from diners.

This restaurant business is slightly older than I,
but this location is 10 years younger.

I can remember as a kid being very excited to eat here!
