Anthony’s HomePort Everett Is Serving Halibut Season Right Now — And the Deck Views Are Worth the Drive

There are maybe four or five restaurants in Everett where the location alone is part of the meal. Anthony’s HomePort is one of them. Sit at a window table — or better, on the deck when the weather allows — and you’re looking straight at Port Gardner Bay, with Camano Island off to the left, Whidbey Island stretching across the horizon, Hat Island visible in the distance, and the Olympic Mountains stacked up behind all of it on a clear day. That view doesn’t get old.

We mention the view first because Anthony’s earns it twice: once through real estate and once through the food. Right now, in late April, we’re deep into halibut season, which is the single best reason to walk in the door at this particular moment. Wild Pacific halibut is a short window every year, and Anthony’s has built a three-course halibut menu around it. The fish comes from longtime supplier partners and is sourced for the clean, white, delicate flake that makes fresh-caught halibut so different from what you get frozen or out of season. If you have any interest in Pacific Northwest seafood, this is the move right now.

The Restaurant

Anthony’s HomePort Everett sits at 1726 W Marine View Drive on Everett’s working waterfront, just south of the Port of Everett’s main marina complex. It’s part of the Anthony’s Restaurants family — a Pacific Northwest institution founded by Anthony and Anne Hinds that runs locations from Olympia to Bellingham — and the HomePort brand is their more relaxed, neighborhood-facing concept: come as you are, families welcome, no need to dress up, but the fish quality is the same across every Anthony’s property.

The Everett location has been feeding locals off this stretch of Marine View Drive for years. It’s one of those places Everett residents walk past without necessarily thinking of it as “their” restaurant — until they finally sit down for dinner and realize they’ve been missing out. The 562 Yelp reviews and 2,953 OpenTable diners averaging 4.6 stars tell the same story: this place is reliable and the setting rewards it.

The Deck

Late April is the edge of deck season in Everett, and Anthony’s has a proper outdoor patio that’s worth sitting on whenever the skies cooperate. On a clear evening you can watch the marina traffic, catch a sunset over the Olympics, and hear the gulls complaining about something. It’s the kind of outdoor dining experience that most of the county genuinely doesn’t have access to — this isn’t a parking lot patio with a heat lamp, it’s a working waterfront deck with actual water in front of you.

The indoor seating is equally solid if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Large windows frame the marina from inside, and the window seats go fast. Reservations via OpenTable are strongly recommended, especially on weekends.

What to Order

Right now, halibut. The three-course halibut season menu is the reason you’re here in April and May. Wild halibut has a clean sweetness and a texture that doesn’t survive freezing, so when the season’s open and the fish is fresh, you order it. Anthony’s sources theirs from longtime partner fisheries to maintain that freshness across the season.

Beyond halibut, the menu is a solid tour of Pacific Northwest seafood done well:

• Sockeye salmon chargrilled and finished with sundried tomato basil butter, served with champ potatoes and seasonal vegetables. This is the anchor of the menu outside of halibut season, and rightfully so — sockeye is the most flavorful of the Pacific salmon species and Anthony’s treats it simply enough to let that come through.
• Wild Alaska true cod lightly panko-crusted, with ginger slaw and fries. Best fish and chips on the waterfront, full stop.
• Dungeness crab when available. Seasonally dependent and worth asking about when you sit down.
• Calamari, chowder, and Caesar salad round out the starters. The chowder is the move if you’re cold and want something warming before the main.
• Scallop specials rotate through the menu and are worth asking the server about.

Budget for $40–$90 per person depending on what you order and whether you’re doing cocktails. It’s not cheap, but it’s not pretending to be something it isn’t either — this is a proper seafood dinner with views that justify the price.

The Hours and Getting There

Dinner service runs Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Lunch service is also available on weekdays — check their website or call ahead for the most current schedule, as seasonal hours can shift. The number is (425) 252-3333.

The address is 1726 W Marine View Drive, Everett, WA 98201. From I-5, take exit 193 (Marine View Drive) and follow it north along the water. Parking is free in the adjacent lot. The restaurant sits on the bay side of Marine View Drive, and the turn is easy to miss the first time — look for the Anthony’s sign before you hit the Port of Everett’s main entrance.

How It Fits the Waterfront Dining Scene

Everett’s waterfront dining scene has gotten genuinely interesting over the last two years. Fisherman Jack’s brought a dim sum-and-Asian-fusion angle to the marina end of the Port. Sound to Summit’s marina taproom brought PNW craft beer to the south side of the port. Rustic Cork’s rooftop brought wine and weekend brunch to Waterfront Place. South Fork Baking Co. anchors the pastry-and-coffee end of things at Fisherman’s Harbor.

Anthony’s HomePort fills a different slot in that map: it’s the dedicated seafood house, the place you go when the occasion calls for sitting down to a proper fish dinner with someone you want to impress or a night out that feels like a real night out. The rest of the waterfront scene is excellent, but none of them are doing what Anthony’s does with a halibut filet in April.

The Bottom Line

Anthony’s HomePort Everett is not a secret. It’s been sitting on this stretch of Marine View Drive for years, doing Northwest seafood correctly with better views than most restaurants in the county. The halibut season window is short, the deck is usable right now, and the reservations fill up on weekends. If you’ve been meaning to go, this is the week to stop meaning it and just go.

Reservations via OpenTable recommended. Walk-ins welcome but take your chances on weekends.
