Anton's closed this spring to allow for redecorating, then reopened under the new management of Tom Anton, son of the restaurant's founder. The restaurant looks a bit more upscale, with brighter, brick-hued colors over the original stucco walls and a bit more upholstery.

ANTON'S EMBRACES NOSTALGIA
More than just the facade is changing at Anton's Restaurant. It's got a new couple at the helm. But they're not new to the restaurant itself or the local scene.
