Anchor Down Dockside

Came here for Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed ourselves. The patio is quiet and peaceful. The only downside is that there were a decent amount of gnats flying around, but we still enjoyed ourselves. The lobster bisque was delicious and the lobster rolls were very fresh and a very large portion. Service was nice. We will definitely come back again.

Picked this place because it was central to a group of friends, and that it was on the water. Many pros and only one con. First off, the food was delicious! I had grilled Branzino with lemon and summer veggies. It was the first time having this fish and it’s now my new favorite. Others had the blackened swordfish over Cajun rice (with sausage and shrimp), seared wasabi tuna with noodles, and a salad & lobster bisque. I think if it weren’t bad manners, we’d all be licking our plates.
Second Pro is the ambience…it was practically perfect. It’s a quiet dead end street, and small enough to be quaint. The service was good also.
Now for the con. When I called to make reservations I specifically mentioned that we had a wheelchair in our party. When we all met in the parking lot it was all gravel and not one designated handicap spot in the entire lot. My friend has. A van with a ramp and had to finagle a spot so he could get out of the van and not have far to get to the entrance. I’m this day and age, I would think every establishment would have designated handicap parking. Aside from this, we all agreed it was a great choice and would all go back.

Went there for my boyfriends birthday with family with reservations and everythingwent smoothly. I started with a costal mojito and it was delicious. As appetizers the group had calamari, and muscles with white wine sauce with decent portions of both. I like the fried banana peppers in the calamari! For my entree I selected a spinach and artichoke crusted salmon with risotto and it was amazing with a hearty portion, I was very satisfied. My bf got the Connecticut style hot lobster roll and also loved it! Will have to try again for date night.

First time here and was pleasantly surprised. Our table was directly on the docks and we observed boats going on and out!
Our food and drinks were delicious 😋
The Lobster Roll had large chunks of fresh lobster meat; the seafood platter had a fresh variety of samples from the ocean and was quickly gobbled up!
They made every attempt to accommodate us from the hot Sun, by getting a second umbrella for additional shade. Highly recommend!!
