Service was slow and it was only 5:30. Ambiance was great. We sat upstairs and it was Hot. They needed just to put a Bucket of ice with the water they gave us. We had to keep asking. Thank God for a breeze! Food- 10/10!! Chowda, Delicious. Surf & Turf- Great! Sesame Seared Tuna- DELICIOUS. We loved everything. read more

I'm not usually someone who writes reviews. If something isn't right, I generally prefer to mention it to the server in the moment so they have the opportunity to address it. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible during this visit because our waitress rarely checked on us, so I wanted to share our experience here. We made a reservation and weren't sure if it specified indoor or outdoor seating, so we called ahead. We were told that getting an upstairs outdoor table would be no problem. However, when we arrived, we were told our reservation was for inside seating only and that the wait for outside would be an additional 1 hour and 45 minutes. We really wanted to sit outside, but rather than make an issue of it, we decided to stay inside. Looking back, we probably should have left. The cocktails were underwhelming, especially considering the price. The highlights of the meal were the duck wings and calamari appetizers, which gave us high hopes for the entrees. Unfortunately, the entrees were a major disappointment. Two people ordered the halibut, and while we understand halibut is a delicate fish that can be difficult to prepare, the dish lacked flavor overall. The foam that came with it tasted horrible--almost soapy--and although the rice and eggplant were good, they weren't flavorful enough to complement the fish. I ordered the tuna burger and specifically requested it cooked medium because I didn't want it to be dry. Unfortunately, it arrived very dry, was falling apart, and lacked flavor. I ended up asking for a side of teriyaki sauce just to make it enjoyable- that didn't help at all and left half the sandwich in my plate. The tuna burger was supposed to come with sweet potato noodles, but they were out-which is not an issue for me, usually. The waitress asked if I'd like a substitute. None of the suggested sides appealed to me, so I asked if I could have the sweet potato purée instead since I saw it for the duck entree. Instead, I was initially served fries. I asked the person who served me, if I can get the puree, the server was confused but eventually understood. When the purée finally arrived, it was unfortunately inedible. The texture and taste reminded me of baby food, and even adding salt and pepper didn't help. I passed it around to the other folks at the table, all saying the same thing. What made the experience even more disappointing was the service. Our waitress never came back to check on our meals, so we never had the opportunity to share our concerns while we were dining. She spent much of the evening chatting with other staff members and seemed distracted with friends and kids running around near the lobster tank. When we finished, another server brought us the check, and no one asked how our meal was or if everything was satisfactory. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially for the amount we spent. The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean, and has a great atmosphere, but unfortunately the food and service did not justify the price. We left wishing we had chosen somewhere else. read more

Mama loves her raw oysters and Aker offers a cutesy happy hour special where you get 3 oysters and a martini for $20. Sign me up! This two-story waterfront restaurant has all the bougie summer vibes (at least upstairs). Our group of five dined over oysters, steak and frites, watermelon salad... The asparagus with truffle ricotta wasmy absolute favorite. Could have had that as an entree. Champagne, pisco sours, margaritas, and so many other drinks were imbibed... it was a great dinner! I think our bill came out to $100/person, but lemme say that we ate and we drank! read more

Terrible. Called for a reservation for a table of 4 upstairs on the deck. We're told we could only be seated at the bar, for us as family this wasn't ideal. There was a table available for 4 that was empty but we were told no we couldn't be seated there. Another couple came and were seated at that same table. I complained to the hostess and to some guy -maybe he was the manager? He told me "I sucked" lol. Ok - this is what to expect at this disaster of a place. read more

I've always wanted to try this place -- finally made it! We grabbed seats upstairs by the bar and kicked things off with a crisp glass of rosé. The mussels with fries hit the spot -- rich, savory, and perfect for sharing. The grilled fish tacos were a win too (not fried -- yes please), and the bok choy was perfectly cooked. Oh, and the oysters? Super fresh. Definitely coming back. read more

We had a stellar experience at Anker, I highly recommend if you're looking for upscale seafood in a lovely setting. Service was phenomenal, we had a great server and the manager was equally helpful in getting us seated. They clearly care about the dining experience here. The oysters were delicious, they tasted so fresh and it was great getting to sample a few different types, spanning from very briny to sweet. The mussels dish was also amazing -- mussels were perfectly cooked, and they came in a sauce that had some spice, almost like a Thai curry. It was a nice change from the more traditional tomato-based sauces that are usually found in this dish. For drinks, they have an extensive wine list, as well as unique cocktails and a few beers on tap. The cocktails were excellent, with really unique flavors stealing the show. The space is lovely, really spacious with a clean, modern aesthetic. The upstairs has an open roof, and is considered "outside" if you are dining with a furry friend. All in all, well worth the splurge if you're in Greenport and want a nice meal. read more

I had dinner there this evening with five of my friends. We were excited we had drinks the night previously there which were delicious and we were excited to go back. We went back for drinks, appetizers, and dinner this evening unfortunately, the dinner was more than disappointing the three halibut, strip steak cooked medium well , short rib, and mahi-mahi tacos were all overcooked and an not edible we waited an hour and a half for the dinner to come . When this issue was brought to the management staff Joey the GM was very lackluster in his approach in which to resolve the situation we weren't looking for a refund or for the bill to be taken care of, but for something or someone to be accountable. We didn't know that Joey was the GM. He didn't introduce himself as such. We thought he was part of the wait staff but again we weren't trying to complain, and when we did get his ear, he laughed it off and acted as though we were a bother instead of paying customers a terrible experience overall unfortunately. read more

My husband and I sat at the bar upstairs without a reservation. We started with the Sandy Shoals cocktails (a watermelon margarita, essentially) which was lovely. I'm not usually a fruity/sweet cocktail person but this was like fresh watermelon juice and it was so refreshing on this super hot day. Agustin was our bartender/waiter and was super friendly and fun. We ordered the char grilled oysters and the sea bass crudo as appetizers. Both were delicious. The oysters had kind of an Indian food flavoring to them. The crudo was awesome. For entrees I ordered the mussels. They were underwhelming, unfortunately. They were room temperature -not hot- which kind of ruined it. The flavors were good but some of the oysters were dried out. I feel like the dish was probably ready ten minutes before they brought it to me. My husband's burger was INCREDIBLE. I never order burgers because they just seem boring but this was amazing and far superior to the mussels. I wish I ordered it! The rhumb line cocktail was also great- I'm not usually a rum gal but this was like a rum old fashioned with cinnamon and it was fantastic. read more

They took a really solid restaurant and ruined it. Dreadful service, weirdly-conceived inedible food. Just a shame.

We ordered 3 orders of halibut, the strip steak cooked medium rare, short rib, and mahi mahi tacos. The food took over an hour and a half to come to the table and all the dishes were over cooked. The steak and short rib were inedible. The manager Joey which didn't introduce himself asked if everything was okay and we were not trying to complain but we didn't know he was the GM. We thought he was part of the wait staff. When he did manage to come to the table he was defensive and for a GM unprofessional. The highs were the drinks and the appetizers they were great. The lack of attention and lack of care management had for the displeasure of the guests is something I have never experienced at a restaurant we wanted to leave less stars but not an option unfortunately. read more

I have not had a burger in several years, and I finally decided to order a medium rare burger. The restaurant did not seem to be that busy, but our order did take a long time to appear. Eventually, the dinners came out except for mine. I patiently watched everyone at my party enjoying their dinner while I waited. When the burger finally appeared, it was well done rather than medium rare. I am starving, and I wanted to tell the server, but she never asked us if we were all good. I slowly ate the burger for a half hour, finally I gave up and finished it. When the server finally appeared and asked if we wanted anything else, I stated that I asked for a medium rare burger, but received well done and I was too hungry to wait for you to appear again. She said she would take note of it, and she did. She took off $3.00 dollars on a $30.00 dollar burger. This is my fault, not the restaurant. I should have walked into the kitchen with the burger and asked for one that was medium rare as I originally ordered. Yes, it was disappointing since it was my first burger in years, of course. The restaurant has two dining areas. The second-floor deck overlooks the water with a tropical ambiance. The floor in which we were seated was on the street level with limited tables. We also ordered asparagus, tuna tartar, and fish and chips. The muscles were not that meaty, but the sauce It was cooked in was delicious. Except for the burger issue and the service, the restaurant was good. read more

Just when I was ready to give up on finding great food in Greenport, this restaurant has restored my hope. The food was great and not in a "everything else was bad this is just better," kind of way. It was good enough that this Manhattan girlie hardly had any complaints. The fish and chips was superb. Extremely crispy without having too much breading. The fish was fresh and light. The dish was portioned and priced right. The watermelon salad had great flavor. I loved those candied jalapeños. I might have to steal that idea! The only thing I didn't enjoy was the watermelon drowned in oil, which pooled at the bottom of the bowl like soup. I wasn't a fan of the texture that created. My partner had the mussels which was great. I had fun dragging my French fries through his bowl. That sauce was *chefs kiss Unfortunately the "loco coco colada" was a fail. It was sour juice when it arrived at the table, with solidified beads of coconut milk. A far cry from the advertised " frozen drink." Lastly, for the serial no reservations just vibes people, the restaurant is small, so seating is tight. However I did enjoy the oyster bar seating regardless of that. It was nice to feel the breeze on my face and people watch as I chow down. I'll definitely visit Anker again when I'm back on the north fork. read more

Sunday 1pm The whole weekend at greenport and was wondering about this place but wasn't in my radar as it wasn't recommended by friends who frequented greenport . With a later back in the city , we were enticed by the Latin rhythm coming from the upper deck level of the restaurant overlooking the water . It's a great place to diner outdoors but protected from the sun with the awning with wonderful views , fun vibe/ music and good food . The host and the manager / owner ? We're accommodating and allowed us to leave our luggages downstairs while dining upstairs. I like the vibe of the place and there's anything better than being outdoors on a beautiful day like it was that Sunday . Perfect for anyone - families , friends, couples , etc read more

The Quick: Chef Axel Irizarry is a genius! Forget farm to table, this is "nose-to-tail" -- this chef uses the best local, fresh ingredients in such creative ways that noting goes to waste. Amazing new menu, incredible outdoor roof seating (with water views!) Friendly staff, best location in town, and awesome cocktails. The Details: We've been dying to try this spot since we heard about the new chef and menu. Anker is a sister restaurant to Greenhill across the street, mostly seafood menu. The chef puts a creative spin on the freshest seafood imaginable. He uses every part of the fish in different flavorful recipes you won't find anywhere else. Black squid ink french onion dip with homemade chips? Sign me up. Grilled fish collar? Sold out, have to try next time. The clam chowder, should be basic right? Wrong! It had such a depth of flavor I can't even explain how amazing the clam chowder was (10/10 must order). I will get better photos next time, it was dark and I couldn't even capture how beautiful everything looked. Such a great addition to the North Fork!! Perfect for date night, people watching during the day (girls brunch, group outting) ... Put it this way, I'll bring my parents when they visit town. The Damage: Reasonable without drinks, of course that brings it up a notch. Absolutely worth it! read more

We stopped in for a cocktail and were welcomed by the owner and bartender Mike like we were long lost family. They have a bar and a dining area inside and another on the roof. We sat at the bar where Mike made us some fabulous cocktails that were very refreshing and delicious, we also ordered two different types of oysters on the half shell that were briney, sweet and absolutely delicious. I will definitely return on my next trip to Greenport read more

The food was really good but the service sucked! We were there for so long because someone else ended up getting our plates and the waitress never even corrected it. She literally looked at their table and then our table and sent the guy who brought the food back downstairs and never said anything. We probably waited at least 30 -40 minutes more because of that. Then when we finally got our plates, I got the wrong meal because the table next to us took my dish. I literally had to wait another 15 minutes on top of that while my husband finished eating his meal. And the only reason I know the table received our meal is because when she received her bill she complained that the meal she ordered was cheaper than the one she's received. It was ridiculous. I had to persuade my husband to leave a tip and there was never a time in my 33 years with him that he has ever done that. read more

Fresh ingredients and a really nice view on 2nd fl deck. They had the best grilled Seabass dish I had in my life. Fish and chips was beer-battered, super crunchy outside, and moist-fish inside with a delicious fries on the side. Their oysters were fresh and I enjoyed them even though i am not a big fan of oysters, and their New England Clam Chowder is a must try! It is not the cheapest food you find, but considering the super fresh seafood and how they cook the dishes, it is definitely worth it. The staffs were very friendly and the food was served quickly(except for the grilled Seabass, but I could see why it took longer when I saw the quality of dish). Highly recommend this place if you are around Greenport area!! read more

Maybe we came on an 'off' night but the food was terrible. The Paella was dry, lacking flavor and the ratio of fish to rice was embarrassing. The fish and chips which are made from seabass were tasty until 2 of us reached the gray, thick, inedible spine which we had to remove ourselves. The beers were flat and not quite cold enough. The crab cakes were the best part of the meal as they were tasty and crunchy but 2 very small crab cakes for $28 is absurd. Again, maybe it was an off night but with so many other restaurants to choose from we will not be returning. We live locally and like to try new restaurants but this one definitely seems like an overpriced 'tourist trap' with mediocre food. Don't let the pretty lights fool you! read more

My sis and I were in town for the weekend and made reservations for Anker, a first time for us both. We were worried at first when we realized it was restaurant week but we decided to try it out anyway. We are so glad we did!! The pricing was superb and the food was spectacular!!! We both had the famous, well-known turkey chili! Boy was it tasty and filling!!! I highly recommend Anker and I can't wait to try again with their regular menu! I didn't get a chance to take pics of my dishes but I did snap a pic of our appetizer which was perfect!!! Looking forward to trying out their Apple cobbler dessert which they were unfortunately out of at the time we dined. :( read more

Anker - Turkey chili! - Seafood Near Me - Greenport, New York

2.5/3... Small but nice seating outdoors on their roof deck. The hostess was very nice and seated us right away, Thankfully we got there around 1 and somehow beat the rush because there was a sizeable line of people waiting for tables once we were set to leave. Waitress was sweet and explained the food menu and drinks. They have some fun inventive signature mixed drinks and their chowda really is that good and not just something they are told to say. Service was... Weird... We all ordered 2 dishes, but were never asked if we wanted one as the main and one as the app... So once the food started coming, 3 of us got a dish and one of us got nothing. Ok... Then we waited a while for our second dishes... One of us got both of their dishes at once with 2 of us getting our dishes as well and then another person at our table didn't get their dish for another 10 min... And as he was holding the last couple of bites of his meal in his hand the busboy just takes his dish from under him... It was really bizarre and wasn't sure where the disconnect was but kitchen and foh seriously REALLY need to do a better job of communicating... Some of the entrees were ridiculously overpriced: a piece of avocado toast with some potatoes cubes and a simple salad really shouldn't cost $14...but I digress. Lobster roll was on point as were the blackened shrimp tacos. On the fence about returning here when we're back in the area, so we shall see. read more

Very impressed with Anker! My wife and I are staying in Greenport for our "mini-moon" and have been trying to cover as many restaurants as we can in the area. We walked by and Anker peaked my interest but was hesitant due to some of the Yelp reviews. I have feedback for the few fellow yelpers who almost deterred me but I wanted to give Anker the recognition they deserve first. Their interior is beautiful and I was pleasantly surprised with the upstairs where we ate. It had beautiful two toned wood floors, well designed fixtures and a gorgeous view of the water and Greenport. We started with a half dozen Yennicott Oysters and they were so fresh, light and delicious! We would have had more but we're going on an oyster tour around town tonight so this was a nice teaser. My wife spotted someone getting the crab toast delivered to their table and by the looks of it, we had to try. This was also incredible! Beautiful flavor profile, light and delicious, topped with sliced peaches and served on an airy/crunchy toast. Both texture and flavor were so well balanced. I really enjoyed this. For our main courses, my wife got the watermelon salad and WOW. This was so inventive, unique and AMAZING! She described it as "summer in a bowl" and I have to agree. It was a base of whipped ricotta cheese with pistachio and lemon topped with watermelon, mint and evoo. This dish was really worth coming here for. I got the fish and chips, they said it was black seabass but I'm pretty certain it was cod. It doesn't matter either way, the fish was crispy and golden brown on the outside and succulent and fresh on the inside. I would have loved to try it as seabass but maybe next time. Also the fillet could have been a liiittle bit thinner (it was about 2.5 inches thick) but it's completely fine and I have no reason to deduct any stars for this. They nailed the dish. The fries looked hand-cut and were double or triple fried, as they should be so that they're crispy!! I also have to throw more kudos at the chef for making guajillo tartar sauce- it's a genius collaboration of a delicious mexican pepper paired with French tartar. It has a nice bold, smokey and spicy kick. What I love about Anker is their uniqueness. Their chef is adventurous but delivers comforting and familiar flavors that really work well with each other. I will be back here for sure. To the yelpers making poor claims about this restaurant- you almost deterred me from coming! There is a McDonald's a few towns west and I promise they will deliver bland and predictable food at a cheap price. And whoever mentioned their fryer oil is dirty- seasoned fryer oil creates flavor. read more

Friendly staff, lovely location, very mixed dining experience. On an off-season Saturday night with empty tables, the service was slow, inventory was messy (a couple items were apologetically explaine as unavailable some time after we'd ordered them), and while the quality of the seafood was fantastic when it did come out, the preparations were odd. Shishito peppers and pesto don't belong together on a plate, Parmesan is weird in aioli, and overall the menu is too limited and oddly categorized for the price point. Why are fish collars called a "small" when they're a huge serving? What's with the several canned fishes and almost no salads? Wine list is also spotty - two different reds tasted corked. And frankly, charging $20 for four grilled oysters on a giant bed of pebbles is odd. Lean into the natural bounty of Long Island with a bigger, less fussy menu. read more

I really hate to leave a restaurant a bad review but I just had the most underwhelming dinner ever. We had to send back the monkey bread as it was stale. They said the white wine needed to be chilled and offered us a complimentary glass of wine while they chilled it. Then they brought over a warm bottle. We sent back the bottle and then they charged us for the complimentary wine. The seafood tower was flavorless. The only thing worth eating on the incredibly over priced seafood tower was the shrimp. Long story short we will not be coming back. read more

Amazing experience. The staff and bar tender Alec were above any expectations I could have asked for. They know their drink and food pairing well and the food is more the worth coming back for. Myself and a friend had 2 dozen oysters(from 4 different regions) the snow crab claws(excellent) and the swordfish marrow dish(I would come back to eat this every day if I could). The cook personally came out to express his gratitude and explained the history of the dishes. read more

Overall, our experience wasn't the best. The hostess looked right through us as though we weren't there and seated people who were standing behind us. They did not have a reservation. Then she looked down to read something for several minutes, ignoring us. Finally a man asked us if we needed help with something-- not even saying something to the effect of asking us if we would like a table. That should have been a sign to leave. The waitress was curt as soon as she came over to us. We were seated outside in the front because there was only one high chair available. I'm at the point in my life where I don't need to feel judged by customer service staff. My husband's steak was extremely fatty. He couldn't eat much of it. He ordered shrimp which were served with heads and legs on! He only ate two. Apart from looking alive, it wasn't cooked well. I was so disturbed by the heads and legs being left on that I couldn't eat it. The lobster roll with brown butter was good, but the portion was extremely small (about 1.5 oz) and didn't come with fries or salad. The website menu says it is $24 while the restaurant menu says $32. At that price point, it wasn't worth it. We found the staff to be rude. They weren't at all friendly and didn't seem to care that they work for tips. Had they shown a different attitude, we surely would have ordered something else. I spend a lot of money when we go out, so I expect to be treated nicely. It would be a good investment of the owner's time to teach their staff basic customer service. We come to Greenport every summer and this has been the first poor experience we've ever had at any restaurant. We usually visit the restaurants we like more than once on our trip. Needless to say, this is not a place I plan to visit in the future. The two stars is for the brown butter being the only good thing about this place. read more
