Square Meal review of Anthony's:

However far the distance you travel, a trip to Anthony's is worthwhile. Tony Flinn spent a couple of seasons at El Bulli in Spain and it has shaped the way he looks at food, as has time spent with John Campbell at the Vineyard at Stockcross. In this beautifully spare room (Flinn’s first solo venture), the food is spare, too, restraint is so central to his style that the brilliance of the food dawns slowly, over a series of tiny tapas and amuse bouche; by the time your starter arrives you know this is extraordinary cooking. He has profound things to say about pure, focused flavours, whether in a concentrated risotto of white onion with espresso and Parmesan air, or roast duck breast startlingly and successfully partnered with olive oil chocolate bonbons. Mains are no less satisfying, as in a fillet of roast sea bass served with a pleasingly light and piquant gazpacho sauce and a courgette flower stuffed with crab mousse, or a piece of tender beef with a decadently rich shallot, bacon and red wine sauce. After such indulgence, dessert is a challenge for the waistline, but one well worth meeting, judging by our trio of delightful apple desserts with warm blinis. Hospitable staff drawn from family and friends, sweeten the deal in this classy, comfortable place.
