Honestly, it was okay! We expected worse front the reviews, but I think people are hard on this place because the environment is very dumpy. It's just old and not super well kept, but the food is not horrible/not great, but just good enough; the service was fine! It could be a spectacular place, but maybe this is all the owners want...a super casual/dumpy place for locals. Compared to the rest of SB, it's really cheap and you can't beat the location.
The service was exceptional, and the shrimp stuffed chile was excellent. The seabass was slightly overcooked, veggies good and mashed potatoes unexciting. The Kahlua cheesecake was really good.
The food at Anchor Rose was okay, not great. The bigger issue was trying to find food that is gluten free. They had menu items marked as GF but our server told us they were not actually gluten free. The gluten free selections were very limited. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant to a person with celiac disease.
