The Anchor Restaurant

Terribe terrible food! Both my friend and I got the clam chowder and she had one clam and i had NO clams in it. Also very bland, tasted like warmed up milk and unsalted butter. Other person at table had soggy vegetables. Won't be going back. Also WAY overpriced for such tiny portions.

It's hard to beat the view of Round Pond. And the recent menu overhaul plus decor upgrade were great improvements. But service is still The Anchor's weak spot. On service alone, the rating is 3, maybe even 2!

My family and I had a very unpleasant & disappointing dining experience at The Anchor tonight. The menu itself was already severely lacking in every way however it was without ANY hesitation significantly OVER-priced across the board which I found shocking given the less than mediocre food and poor slow service. By the time our slow inexperienced waiter finally made his way over to take our dinner order, we eventually learned a short time later that four of our selections were already completely sold out. This was at the very beginning of the evening and so I can't fathom how a kitchen could be so unprepared and under-stocked at the very beginning of dinner on a busy Saturday night? The $27 Lobster Popcorn appetizer I settled for was a complete and total JOKE as it consisted of just a VERY small amount of tiny fried lobster pieces mixed together with an abundance of actual popped popcorn...as well as a ton of unopped kernals? Altogether I found this to be rather offensive. We all left our dining experience still feeling hungry yet also quite annoyed by the unacceptable overpriced portions and less than adequate dining service. Just to be clear, I do sincerely wish you folks nothing but success however I surely do hope you take immediate necessary actions to get a firm grip on REALITY when it comes to reasonable and appropriate prices that actually match the quality of the foods you serve via the service you provide, all before its too late!

My daughter and I went on Saturday midday for our first meal out together since covid (high risk). What a Treat! We sat out on the sunny deck overlooking the harbor. The waiter was terrific even bringing extra cushions (unasked) for our comfort. We had an especially excellent trio of appetizers. Of note? The loaded crab cakes were crispy and delicious! Also the Brussel sprouts were grilled perfectly with accents of orange. It was a five star experience all around! The Terrific
