    Beautiful outdoor space . Perfect on a cool summer evening! Food was good. My ahi tuna was good but could have had a little less sauce on it. . There were plenty of bussers who were attentive. The servers however were pretty slow. Seemed like they had enough servers, but it took a long time to order and they seemed overwhelmed. In addition to the seafood, they had a good selection of regular fish: ahi tuna, salmon, cod, Chilean sea bass, fish and chips. They also have a vegetarian menu - upon request. Main annoyance is that they don't have decaf cappuccino!!! Why wouldn't you have decaf at night for people?? Valet parking is available .

    Anchor Down Dockside located in Seaford on the water is a Gem! The menu has a phenomenal list of seafood, delights, and specialty cocktails! Those that don't eat seafood, like myself, there is always a beef, steak, or chicken choice or vegetarian options. We had Reservations and Service was prompt and engaging throughout our stay. While eating outside on the dock by the water, we got to see a family of swans come through the canal as well as some geese with their young ones. They do have a covered area outside for those who want to avoid the sun directly. This place should be closing shortly for the winter months so call before you go, but try to get in the last weekends of summer to fall.! Kudos to the owner Jen

    I've dined at Anchor Down Dockside twice now. The seafood here is excellent. Last time I came here, I had the Montauk Fluke Oreganata which was delicious. The restaurant is located right on the water. You can't beat the view here.

    I am not sure if the experience I had today at anchor down dockside was a one off or not. Unfortunately, my experience at this establishment was below par. After family beach day, my family and I were craving some lobster rolls. We saw a local spot in Seaford that look like they had a beautiful scenery and good food. Once we arrived, we noticed how the restaurant was not busy even for a holiday. We thought we looked out, but it was actually the opposite. we had multiple waiters come and try to help us but only one was actually helpful and even then, she wasn't the best. We had waiters with attitude, lack of drive and extremely long wait times. We were actually told by one of the waiters that our calamari was on the counter waiting to be picked up. EVEN THEN it took another twenty minutes for it to arrive at our table. The calamari tasted like something you would get last minute at jones beach not a restaurant on the water. Only reason this review is two stars and not one is because of the amount of lobster that was on our lobster rolls. Then again, the lobster roll wasn't anything out of this world so was it really worth the two stars? The restaurant seems to care more about it's Instagram page and getting new people to try it out rather than keeping them there. That happened to us and we will not be coming back.

    Been wanting to come here forever! Instagram I'd always see and be like we must get over there! That day finally came. I loved my burger and my lemonade was amazing. Service was good. We came late afternoon so it wasn't to busy. It was nice sitting by the water on a nice day. I'd highly recommend this place.

    We enjoyed everything we ate. The soups were delicious. Drinks were yum. Our waitress was very nice and extremely helpful. We ate waterside and really enjoyed the seaside table. Enjoyed our time at the restaurant it was very classy. We definitely would go back.

    Is this restaurant actually open? Do they take reservations ? I have tried calling over the past couple of days and nobody answers.

    They were closed due to the storm and had also posted on Facebook that their phones are down and to email info@anchordownny.com. They should be back open but I am not positive.

Unfortunately, this review is not good at all due to the lack of class, judgment, and inadequacy of this establishment. We came here on a date night because we heard nothing but great reviews on this place. We were seated by a very unpleasant hostess who made it known she did not want to be there at all. We waited for a while for a server to come up to us to get our drink order, but that never happened. I was reluctant to leave at first, but then noticed that there was another table across from us a family of four with two kids who were having the same problem too. They waited patiently as we were, but no one was around to serve us because they were all standing at the bar being loud and goofing around. At that point I had enough and we walked out. I have now read the most recent reviews on this establishment after I left and I should have done that before we came here. A lot of unpleasant reviews have been posted for the past six months about this place. So apparently there's a reason why I had the experience I did as everyone else did recently. It's a shame because the Old reviews prior to the past couple of months were phenomenal. Oh wait you guys must be permanently closed by now as one of the other posts said. Now you should understand why. It is what it is, Right?

The raspberry compote added a fantastic, bright fruitiness, and the whipped mascarpone was the perfect, light, and not-too-sweet finish. This was a dish that I'd happily order again.

We have always enjoyed the restaurant, and I want to make it very clear that this review is NOT a reflection of the establishment or management. Unfortunately, our experience with our server, Alyson A., was extremely disappointing. From our very first interaction, Alyson was not warm, welcoming, or personable. We noticed it immediately but tried to give her grace and enjoy our evening. It was my husband's birthday, and I discreetly let Alyson know because I wanted to surprise him without him knowing. When the time came, she brought over a candle in a cup of ice, placed it on the table, and walked away. No "Happy Birthday," no acknowledgment whatsoever. It was incredibly awkward and disappointing, especially considering I had specifically gone out of my way to quietly let her know we were celebrating. What really sent me over the top was how our check was handled. I placed my debit card inside the check folder. Alyson came over with the machine, processed the payment, and walked away. She never handed my card back to me. When I noticed it was missing, I told her, "My card is in the book. I didn't get it back." She opened the folder and said it wasn't there, then pointed to a spot on the table and said, "It's right here." I asked, "How did it get there?" and she replied, "I put it there." I was stunned. Why would you place a customer's debit card somewhere on the table without handing it directly back to them or even telling them where you put it? Had I not noticed my card was missing and asked, I would not have known she had left it there. Throughout the entire experience, there was no "thank you," no "have a good night," no acknowledgment of my husband's birthday, and no sense of basic hospitality. Her demeanor made us feel as though serving our table was an inconvenience. We did notify management, and I want to give them the recognition they deserve. They were nothing short of amazing, as they always have been. They listened to our concerns, were professional, and handled the situation with genuine care. That is the Salt on the Water we know and why my family continues to return year after year. It was simply disheartening to have this kind of service at an establishment we think so highly of. One server will not change our opinion of Salt on the Water, but our experience with Alyson A. was unacceptable and absolutely not representative of the level of hospitality we have come to expect here.

At first I was somewhat bummed we missed the DJ night on Friday and Sunday brunch but one of the coworkers said "you came on a good day, Achilleas is your waiter." I didn't know that meant much at the time but Achilleas absolutely did not disappoint. He brought humor, laughs and our food, what was not to love? He continued to impress us from remembering our whole party's names, orders and all small facts about each individual one of us. He kept us laughing so hard that even my friend suggested they advertise "Achilleas Night" on the front door. If you're curious, follow his instagram @theothersideofgreece - him and his wife have their own travel company. Now to talk about the amazing food... to begin, if you didn't order the French Toast Sticks for an appetizer, YA DONE MESSED UPPP!! Go back, and order two of them, maybe three (it's 6 huge pieces each - not the time to count calories) ! I don't do French toast but I'd never go against the crew and I'm glad I didn't pick this day to waver. They were perfectly sweet, crunchy, warm & doughy . Then just when I thought we were done, Achilleas slides out with two complimentary desserts, one for me (birthday) and another for my two friends that had a big engagement that we are still celebrating! The complimentary cake was surprisingly delicious. It was vanilla birthday cake served warm with a scoop of ice cream, sprinkles and whip cream and my mouth is still watering over it. Needless to say, we're all looking for reasons to get together on an Achilleas night again.
