Reviews for The Anchor Restaurant in Round Pond, ME
It was our pleasure to enjoy our very first dining experience at Anchor Restaurant this summer, and it didn?t disappoint. The... atmosphere is quintessential coastal Maine all the way. May I suggest the brussel sprouts, and mussels with focaccia? A foodiedelight indeed! The Key Lime pie was also a big treat. Great service too! Loved it ! Read more
Mediocre quality food and skimpy portions. My guest ordered fried clams and got only a few clams smothered in french fries. And... this plate was $27.00. Very disappointing and embarrassing to me as someone who recommended this restaurant. The tacos tastedok but were quite small. My burger was overcooked and they forgot to bring my side salad. The hostess was gracious and workshard but this is not what I expected from this well know area restaurant, which I had visited several times in previous yearswith better impressions. A sad commentary on waterfront Maine cuisine. I will not be returning. Read more
This place is amazing! The food is awesome and the staff is extremely friendly. The views are absolutely gorgeous and the drinks... were delicious! This will be a regular spot for us. Read more
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 foundshocking given the less than mediocre food and poor slow service. By the time our slow inexperienced waiter finally made hisway over to take our dinner order, we eventually learned a short time later that four of our selections were already completelysold out. This was at the very beginning of the evening and so I can't fathom how a kitchen could be so unprepared andunder-stocked at the very beginning of dinner on a busy Saturday night? The $27 Lobster Popcorn appetizer I settled for was acomplete and total JOKE as it consisted of just a VERY small amount of tiny fried lobster pieces mixed together with anabundance of actual popped popcorn...as well as a ton of unopped kernals? Altogether I found this to be rather offensive. Weall left our dining experience still feeling hungry yet also quite annoyed by the unacceptable overpriced portions and less thanadequate dining service. Just to be clear, I do sincerely wish you folks nothing but success however I surely do hope you takeimmediate necessary actions to get a firm grip on REALITY when it comes to reasonable and appropriate prices that actually matchthe quality of the foods you serve via the service you provide, all before its too late!

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 andfish for $16. A great deal, unless you're very familiar with how traditional tacos should be. My suggestion is to eat the tacofilling itself, sans the mushy corn tortilla. Our appetizers were much better. And, after viewing entrees at other tables, youmay just want to skip the taco special. Fair warning; if you're traveling in Maine during high season, numerous restaurants areclosed on Tuesdays which significantly limits your options, especially when in tow w/ kids. I think The Anchor Restaurant is anexcellent choice for adults only night, or a date night. So if you're in the area w/ kids on a Tuesday, pick up something atHannaford Bros. Supermarket, & visit The Anchor Restaurant on date night sans the kids. Read more
We walked into the restaurant for a late lunch and greeted by the manager with a warm smile..... Beautiful place with a... beautiful view. She explained the large variety of the Maine beers and we made our choices... First thing... Lobster popcorn!You have to try it! Awesomeness! Our waiter was the sweetest and most professionally polite young man that catered to our everyneed.... We tried the crab avocado wrap and fish and chips... Oh and a blueberry martini! Wow!!!! What an experience! I cannotwait to go back and enjoy this wonderful placewith with such warmness! Read more
Reservations are highly encouraged, but they were able to accommodate us just fine. The blueberry martinis were awesome. My... husband's lobster was delish. Try the calamari--so good. and my roasted romaine wedge with pickled beets, tomatoes that tastedlike candy, and blue cheese was awesome. Read more
Excellent food! Great view! They could use a few more vegan options.
