Anchovy Bar is a charming restaurant with a niche concept that feels refreshingly different. The anchovy toast is a definite must-try—surprisingly fresh and not fishy at all. While the bread was a bit thick for my taste, the sesame crust added great texture and paired well with the anchovies. Beautiful presentation, too.

The broiled oysters with roasted garlic–balsamic butter were also solid—rich, flavorful, and satisfying.

Most people don’t go anchovy—which leaves more for the rest of us! Next time I’ll just order all anchovies, anchovies three ways, or however many they’ll do ‘em. Anchovy toast 👍🏻
Scallop crudo 👍🏻
Clams in tomato broth — good but the clams are those teeny tiny ones, I’d prefer them larger
Chocolate something cake 👍🏻
Fresh red wines 👍🏻
Wow this is a fabulous restaurant. Not overly friendly, but efficient service. Cozy, buzzing vibe. Really interesting wines. And every dish was an absolute flavor bomb. We shared six dishes between two people, and it was the perfect amount of food. Only regret is not having room for dessert. They looked wonderful. Only downside I'd say is the wine pours by the glass are pretty small. I'd order a bottle of wine next time vs glasses. Yum yum, will return!
