We were looking for a place to eat and my daughter was craving lobster bisque. Found the Anchor with a quick search. We walked to it but got nervous that it was empty on a Saturday evening. The hostess that greeted us was very friendly and we were hungry so we decided to stay. It turns out that most people canceled because of the tropical storm that was coming. Anyway we had a great dinner with great service. My daughter was happy with the lobster bisque but it was a little too much tomato flavor for me. I liked the clam chowder, and the Brussel sprouts were unique and totally worth a try. We also had the shrimp Tacos and the lobster roll. Both were really good.

stopped by for breakfast and bottomless mimosas. service was amazing and the breakfast arrived quick and was great. i got french toast, while my cousins got the fried chicken burgers. mimosas were constantly refilled, the french toast went smooth, and my cousin gave me a taste of the burger and it was saucy . looking forward to trying the lobster later.

Good vibe. Had the Oysters, Lobster Mac n Cheese, Clam Chowder, and Lobster Tails. Oysters are supposedly out of season in June, but these were medium-sized and good. Lobster Mac n Cheese was a little thick for me, could a used a lil more cream. Lobster Tails were excellent and got three medium sized, seasoned and cooked perfectly. Hey, that Street Corn that comes with that dish was ridiculous, yum!

We went on Wednesday night at 7pm for a birthday dinner. Parking was convenient on the street at a meter.

Our server Christopher was the best server I’ve had in a while. He was very friendly and was able to handle a party of ten without any issues. He made sure we were comfortable on the chilly evening by turning on the outdoor heaters on high. He gave us complementary fish tacos to try and a complementary bread pudding to try at the end of our meal. The food was good and hot when it came out. I wish there were more choices on the menu but everyone was happy with what they ordered.

I love the food at this restaurant. The lobster bisque is amazing, large chunks of lobster. The grilled cheese sandwich is very filling…The raw oysters are so fresh…..The staff is very helpful and friendly….The decor is a very cozy nautical feel. I highly, highly recommend….

As a seafood lover who’s gone to Maine to try the best lobster rolls, I was a tad disappointed. For the portion, it was definitely overpriced. Margarita was also sadly a disappointment. Service was stellar though. If you enjoy Bubba Gump seafood or Luke’s lobster rolls, this might be the place for you.
