I can definitively say that no one has been to Jimmy's Harborside lately, as it's been closed for a couple of years.

Anthony's is still open, I guess, but I can't imagine anyone having gone there in a long, long time. It was fashionable in the 60s and 70s, an enormous restaurant that could serve hundreds of people at once. It had a faux elegance that seemed attractive. The place flourished until smaller places started serving much more interesting fare at lower prices. By the mid-80s, pretty much the only people who went to Anthony's were out-of-towners and a diminishing number of older locals who kept going back out of habit.
