The service food and atmosphere was awesome. The Salmon dish was great also the steak frites. Server was great the only disappointment was there was no clam chowder. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good place to eat.

The service was great, food was fantastic, more variety, breakfast flatbread with eggs and cheese and crispy bacon, delicious, so much better then being in a sandwich. The breakfast potatoes were out of this world; crunchy on the outside and tender inside with an amazing flavor, and to end this meal with a warm beignet. An outstanding breakfast with your choice of the typical brunch fare of bacon and eggs, or something a bit different that will make you coming back again and again. Pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, will definitely be going back again and again. Great new breakfast spot!!

Chef Geo's specials were delicious! The swordfish piccata and scallops with bacon pizza was a huge success! I wish this were back on the menu permanently. Laura on service tonight was friendly, all smiles and very attentive. She was especially kind to my father who is hearing impaired. We were grateful for the service, food and entertainment by Jon River tonight!

Our server, Bella was friendly & attentive. Food was good. Was very loud & noisy. Restaurant was cold too. Maybe some rugs, plants, would soften & warm up the vibe. The Girls were great & was fun to listen to live music.

Food and drinks were great! The service was slow. Considering we were the only people in the place not good. Don't ask if I have a reservation when the place is empty. Kind of made me laugh.

Great location, cute restaurant and nice waitress but my overall experience was hit and miss. We had an early reservation and arrived just after 4pm to find the door locked. Didn't feel very welcome after traveling quite a long time to get there. The staff chatted about the potential busy night while we just stood by the door. Service was really slow despite only 8 other people in the restaurant. The aranchini starter was delicious so was very pleased w the start of the meal. But it took 1hr and 15 min from the time we ordered to get our main course - and I had a very hungry pre-teen at my table who ordered a burger and fries. The burger was dry (my son gave it a 3/5) and the fries were over cooked. I had the salmon dish and the salmon was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were delicious but my plate was cold as were the Brussel sprouts, which were terrible. So for just under $100 for two people I left not quite feeling I had a great experience after really looking fwd to trying this place after a long day. Definitely some hits on the menu and service but clear misses too.

My date and I had a wonderful meal. Enjoyed the live music and were able to have conversation without shouting. I look forward to the summer and dining outside. Thanks for the great night!

We were expecting a small space with basic sandwiches and wraps. We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful dining room and full bar. Our family ended up having a beautiful dinner - braised short ribs for my wide, steak fries for myself, tempura chicken and flatbread pizza for the kids. We will definitely be back!

This is one of my favorite local places to go. Make that my favorite. The food is always delicious, and the staff takes the time to get to know you. If you haven't tried it, you don't know what you are missing.

This was our first time eating at Blue Anchor Grill and it was absolutely delicious. The tempura shrimp tacos were the best I've tasted. The staff were all very personable and helpful in our decisions of what to eat and drink. We will definitely return there when in the area!

Food wasn’t bad. Service just wasn’t there. Took almost 45 min to get our food. We only saw our waitress twice and the place was overly loud.

The service and the food were both amazing. We had a 5:45 p.m. reservation. We arrived a little early, and we were seated immediately in a quiet corner at the back of the restaurant. I am gluten free, and our waitress double checked that my order was without gluten. It was a lovely evening with great food and service.

As always the food & service was amazing ! Took my mom & Aunts for a belated Birthday dinner & they loved it. Great atmosphere. Weekly specials were terrific . Can't wait to come again !

I walked in with my husband and my baby on a Friday at 4:45 and the restaurant was completely empty. The hostess told me they only have high tops available which doesn't work with a highchair. Again the restaurant was completely empty! Absolutely ridiculous. Never going back there again!
