My husband and I came there to celebrate our anniversary. We were greeted with a card. The dinner was amazing I received the stake and shrimp special and my husband ordered the seafood over pasta. After dinner we were greeted by our waiter bringing us the chocolates mousse with two fluted flood champagne. It could not have been a better place to celebrate. Thank you for the great hospitality that was shown to us on our visit to your restaurant. Will be returning next time we are in Florida.

View is great, service was subpar, I wish I would've known the chicken milenese had the bone in I wouldn't have ordered it. Not great, overall we were disappointed

Always a great experience at this restaurant located at the Marriot waterfront. Great seafood and also choices for those who don't care for seafood.

Excellent restaurant, excellent service and food was awesome! Had a date here last night, booked a cabana by the water, which was absolutely beautiful, well not as beautiful as my date!😉🥰

The quality of the food was excellent, bu a little pricier that I expected. The ambiance and outsetting was excellent. I would go there again, but be more prepared for a higher bill.

Our evening started out a bit unsettling because upon having made a reservation, I don't believe it mattered because all of the tables with a river view were taken and I'm pretty sure all of these people didn't have reservations. We were seated in the back by the bar where the traffic was heavy. With that said, the server and our food and drinks were excellent.

✨ A Birthday to Remember at Anchor and Brine ✨ I can't say enough about how incredible the team at Anchor and Brine made my birthday! From the moment I walked in, every detail felt thoughtful and personal — the service was absolutely top-tier and the ambiance made it feel like something straight out of a dream. The staff went above and beyond to make the evening special — from a warm welcome to personalized touches that made me feel celebrated the entire time. Not to mention, the food and cocktails? Next-level. Thank you, Anchor and Brine, for turning a birthday dinner into a truly unforgettable experience. I'm still smiling! 🎉💫 Highly recommend for anyone looking to make their special moments even more magical. 💙

Anchor and Brine truly delivers on flavor! 🌊✨ We started with the Confit Beets Salad 🥗—so fresh, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was bursting with earthy sweetness balanced perfectly with bright, fresh notes. For my main entree, I had the Florida Red Snapper 🐟, and WOW... this dish had my taste buds dancing! 💃🏽🕺🏽 The snapper was cooked to perfection—flaky, tender, and seasoned beautifully. Every forkful was like sunshine on a plate. ☀️🌴 Our server was amazing—attentive, kind, and made us feel welcome the whole evening. 💕 My only disappointment came with the seating. I had noted on my OpenTable reservation that we were celebrating my retirement 🎉, and I requested a more intimate table away from the heavy foot traffic. Instead, we were seated right next to the door, which did take away from the special atmosphere. I was even told the table I requested wouldn't be available for 15 minutes, yet another group was seated there right away. That was frustrating and did put a damper on what otherwise would have been a flawless night. That said, the food and service were outstanding, and I would absolutely recommend Anchor and Brine for the cuisine and hospitality 🍴💫. I just hope in the future they consider guest requests noted ahead of time to elevate the overall experience. We will definitely be back—but with no seating expectations. 😉

Very nice wait staff. Very friendly and attentive. I can't rate the food because we didn't eat we only drink and the drinks were on point. Definitely will come back for food. The atmosphere is amazing. The view is incredible. Definitely a nice place for ambience, content creation, and an overall vibe day or night.

Went for a business mail with colleagues. Overall an excellent experience. Food was all top notch service was excellent and the location at the Tampa Riverwalk was a very nice way to spend a warm evening outside.

Nice riverfront space, food was quite good though expensive and a bit inconsistent. My drink was surprisingly strong, though good. I wish the views were a little better. Suddenly invaded by a conference, which was equal parts fun and a bit overwhelming.

I had an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Every aspect of the service was handled with the utmost professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. Communication was clear and timely, scheduling was seamless, and all work was completed to a very high standard.

The individual(s) I worked with demonstrated deep knowledge and expertise in their field, along with a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. I was especially impressed by their punctuality, organization, and respect for both time and space. All questions were answered thoroughly, and I was kept informed throughout the process.

It’s rare to encounter this level of quality and consistency. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this service again in the future and will confidently recommend it to others seeking reliable, high-caliber service.

We had a wonderful experience at Anchor and Brine. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. Everything we tried was very good, and overall it was a great dining experience. The only downside was that it was a little on the pricey side, but the quality and service made it worth it. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.
