The portions weren't there for the price the food was really good. Some things about the service could have been better. But it was midday.

Great Seafood restaurant, always great service and quality seafood.

The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a coastal theme that was tasteful and not overdone. We were seated promptly, and the service was exceptional throughout the evening.
This seafood spot exceeded our expectations with its fresh, flavorful dishes and friendly service. Whether you’re craving shellfish or a perfectly cooked fish entrée, this place has it all. We’ll definitely be back for more!

Excellent food, generous portions and the staff was so friendly and helpful! We really felt like home. It is rare to find such atmosphere nowadays.
We can recommend the shrimp scampi, the sole ( melts in your mouth), the crab cakes... Everything is delicious.

While the service at Anchor Seafood Restaurant was top-notch, the food unfortunately fell short. They were incredibly accommodating, seating our party of four on a busy Monday night, and the bartender was apologetic for the wait. The clam chowder was tasty but needed a bit more salt. Unfortunately, the lobster rolls were dry and lacked flavor, and the French fries were served cold. My husband's broiled scallops were delicious, but the accompanying pasta was undercooked. As a gesture of goodwill for our patience, they offered us dessert on the house, but unfortunately, we received the wrong chocolate cake. Overall, while the staff was excellent, the food did not meet our expectations.

We got a lobster roll and loved it. My only complaint is that the dining area was so small.

I will begin by saying that the food and service here have ALWAYS been very good. A solid menu and friendly wait staff. I should also note that we are not one-time leaf peepers, out-of-state tourists, or seasonal visitors. My parents and ow my wife and I have had a second home in the immediate area for over 40 years. And we have been eating regularly at Anchor since the first week it opened 25 years ago. Which is why we were so surprised and truly disappointed by the way that we were treated by management during our most recent visit.

We had. 6pm reservation. My parents arrived first and informed the hostess that my wife and I were running 5 mintes late due to traffic delays. We arrived at 6:0m. I know this because I took a photo of my parents at the table upon our arrival and they had not yet received their drink order. We then proceeded to have a standard meal at a normal pace thanks to a lovely waitress. Granted, the mains took a little longer to come out but understandable considering the volume of diners. when it came time to order dessert, we were apologetically informed by our waitress that the hostess had asked her to tell us that there was another party with a reservation and that they were waiting for our table and that we were taking too long. She was clearly uncomfortable actually apologized but indicated that the hosts were “yelling” at her about it. After we recovered from our dismay, we courteously declined coffee and dessert and asked for a check. ironically, it took several minutes to get the check during which time my mother politely expressed our disappointment to the hostesses. The hosts apologized. We then left. No manager of a restaurant should ever treat their guests like a turn and burn revenue source and ask the wait staff to deliver a message like that. 85 minutes for a meal there without dessert is not unreasonable. And while we were no more than 5 minutes late, the fact that their reservations were booked too close together is not our problem. your diners are “guests” and should be treated accordingly. If you have a concern with them , don’t ask you wai staff to deliver 5e message. very unprofessional. And while we will likely be back to Anchor, it won’t be for awhile. Too many other good diningchoices in the area to be treated like that after 25 years of loyally patronizing an establishment.

We were there for lunch and they had more selections of appetizers than entrees. The scallops were good but small and definitely a lunch portion. With a few french fries and a spoonful of coleslaw it was just barely enough. We might try them for dinner but we will not be back for lunch.

Walked in after enjoying the area for dinner on a busy Saturday night. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately. The menu looked great, but they had Prime Rib as a special and both my husband and I ordered it. We like it medium rare, but the bartender realized that there was only one slice left at that temperature. So we ordered the Sushi Grade Ahi Tuna and it was delicious! The prime rib was also delicious! We got dessert and I HIGHLY Recommend their Carrot Cake ---Perfection!
