The food was pretty good. Ordered a shrimp cocktail and 1/2 dozen oysters to start with. They were decent although the oysters weren’t opened and cleaned properly and had to pull pieces of shell out of my mouth, which could have been a major issue if I bit down on them … My main course was a shrimp and lobster pot pie, which was a cute presentation. However, the dish very runny and soupy and a little on the salty side. There were pieces of shrimp but not much lobster at all. They kind of chintz out by putting chunks of potato in there which is supposed to fill it up I assume… The shrimp wasnt cleaned well so there were shells in there also. The plate is also served very very hot… The side order of spinach came to the table and the waitress actually lost control of it and it crashed onto the table. There was SO MUCH oil in the dish (HOT OIL) it splattered, burning my hand and also went all over the seat and splattered onto my pocketbook… so wasnt thrilled… but needless to say… accidents happen… What can u do? My friend enjoyed his steak so that was good. The interior is small and dark and the tables are so close together you feel like you’re part of the conversation and it’s a little too close for comfort. The ceilings are very low and a bar sits in front of the row of tables. Not ideal atmosphere at all. Maybe the outdoor seating is a better vibe when the season calls for that. I won’t be returning tho…

We rarely go to LI, and I did some research here and added 3 seafood restaurants on LI to my bucket list. Bigelows was closed, so we hit up Anchor Down in Merrick, NY, in Long Island.

The staff and ambiance outside and inside is welcoming and friendly. I can’t wait to come back and try more than just the two dishes I had. When I do my reading one more than likely be higher, but I can say so far that the specialty role was extremely filling and meaty. Lobster bites were not bad but some of them were a little spicy too spicy.

Loved our maiden visit on a Saturday night! Was craving for some seafood that’s not served on disposable plates. Ventured out here on the south shore, right on the water.

Not only was the food incredible, but Zach and josh who were assisting me made the whole experience an 11/10. Wanted something small and didn’t know what to get and Zach expertly recommended the clam chowder which was phenomenal. On top of that, my wife got the lobster roll which she won’t stop raving about. Will definitely be back 🙂

Great little spot with a bunch of chefs that love what they do and know what they’re doing. Waiter was on point from start to finish and he didn’t need to use a pad or pen either. Good spot – we’ll be back!

My sister and I often go here for lobster, but unfortunately when we went today they said they didn’t have a full lobster, but had lobster rolls. We debated about leaving, but decided to stay and ordered the burrata, oysters and I decided to try the scallop dinner and omg everything was amazing. The burrata and the oysters were so fresh and then the scallops came with this amazing corn puree and it was amazing. I am a super picky eater and it was one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. Also service was great.
