Anchor Oyster Bar is worth the wait. Be prepared though, the line can be quite long, especially during lunch and on weekends, since it’s a small restaurant and they don’t have many tables. I ordered the 12 oysters on the half shell, and they were very fresh, clean tasting, and served ice cold. The Boston clam chowder was excellent, thick, creamy, and loaded with clams without being overly salty. It’s a must-order. Service was friendly and efficient once seated.
I spent the last month biting my tongue waiting to get a chance to visit this restaurant and try cioppino for the first time. I arrived early and kind folks explained the process. The staff was very welcoming and polite. The cioppino was so good, that first bite everything went quiet in my head. The tomato based broth...oh my lanta.... And to have all that seafood cooked in it! I just want to go back for more! I strongly recommend taking some time out of your day and enjoying this special gem, and I cannot wait to go back.
I wish i could rate them 100 starts. The customer service is unmatched 🙌, such attention to detail and every member of the staff is caring and kind which made us enjoy the experience. The chef is star,the food was superb and feels fresh and there are so many options from appetizers to main courses. Ideal to share with your friends so you get to try different things. Loveeed the scallops and the caesar salad. Please do yourself a favor and visit this beautiful restaurant, you will definitely enjoy the experience.
We visited on a weekend evening and waited over an hour, as they do not take reservations and the space is small. It is a popular spot and still worth trying, though a less busy night may be more enjoyable. We ordered the Caesar salad and the large cioppino. The Caesar was a generous portion for two and overall good, though the dressing was lighter than expected. The croutons were excellent and easily the standout of the salad. The large cioppino was the highlight. The broth looked tomato based but leaned more toward spiced flavors than tomato. It was filled with crab, crab legs, shrimp, fish, clams, and mussels, all well prepared, and bibs were provided since it can get messy. Overall, Anchor Oyster Bar is worth a visit, especially if you can go on a quieter night to avoid the long wait.
We finally arrived at this cozy, welcoming, and authentic restaurant. There were a lot of people there, but we were the first. Everyone waited patiently, and it was worth it. The food was delicious, everything was fresh, and perfectly prepared. The oyster selection was excellent. The staff was incredibly polite and attentive. It was a great day.
