PRO'S: This the right combination of ambiance and quality seafood dishes to keep you returning. Nice service, small, nice wine list makes for a fun dining experience.
CON'S: None
SUMMARY: Water side, large portion, seafood dining will keep us coming back.
Very nice welcome. Staff very professional but relaxed. Good food with good helpings. Salmon, crab cakes and fresh, raw oysters are tops. French fries too. Liked the harbor view even if a bit chilly today. Round Pond has some charming Victorian period homes.
The location & service are 5 stars. The food/ wine more like 3.5 stars if in a typically populated environment w/ competition. My family & I visited on "Taco Tuesday", which entails an offering of 3 different specialty tacos; pork short ribs, lobster and fish for $16. A great deal, unless you're very familiar with how traditional tacos should be. My suggestion is to eat the taco filling itself, sans the mushy corn tortilla. Our appetizers were much better. And, after viewing entrees at other tables, you may just want to skip the taco special. Fair warning; if you're traveling in Maine during high season, numerous restaurants are closed on Tuesdays which significantly limits your options, especially when in tow w/ kids. I think The Anchor Restaurant is an excellent choice for adults only night, or a date night. So if you're in the area w/ kids on a Tuesday, pick up something at Hannaford Bros. Supermarket, & visit The Anchor Restaurant on date night sans the kids.
