Sometimes only a classic will do. This downtown stalwart fills the bill, even if most complain that Anthony's has become too much of a tourist trap. So what if the old-fashioned dishes seem more like something Grandma would make? The lobster bisque is rich and creamy, and the baked finnan haddie is a throwback to traditional New England cooking. More important, the views of the harbor are superb, and the expert bartender makes a stiff gin and tonic. There's even baked Alaska for dessert. Those who prefer to avoid the out-of-towners can keep to themselves by picking up a box of live lobsters to cook at home.
