    I found the reservation site was a bit tiresome. On site we were greeted warmly and quickly seated. Staff were very attentive but not overly dominant. Food selection was excellent nicely prepared and and presented. Definitely a place I would return to for other special occasions 👍

    Beautiful table overlooking the water , but buffet brunch was a weird mixture of foods - not typical for a North American brunch. Didn’t get the value for 45.00 per plate

    Do not order the rib eye, it’s thin, dry and over cooked. The wait staff are great but the kitchen is quite slow. I don’t know why I keep going back once a year, it doesn’t improve.

    Anchor and Ore has become one of our favourite places to eat, the food is excellent and well priced. We generally attend on weekends and really enjoy the bonus of the fine music provided by the Mark Thibert trio it adds another level to a very enjoyable night out. Definitely reccomend this fine restaurant.
