Grilled porgy is delicious, tender flaky....they were out of the watermelon or i would pick the watermelon salad. Lobster roll is a good but I had better one before. But I'm very happy with the grilled porgy. Oysters were fresh read more

I've been to this restaurant twice this month! the mussels first attracted me on my solo date just relaxing at the bar, and then brought me back for a round of drinks and apps with my friends and family! they never EVER disappoint. the menu is so unique from other restaurants in the area that i've been going to my whole life, but whatever i try always blows away my expectations. Love the upstairs outdoor covered seating which is perfect at sunset. Would definitely recommend to anyone even if it's just for a drink and some appetizers! Definitely my favorite restaurant spot in greenport this summer read more

Best crab cakes we ever had.. and what spectacular views! Stephanie behind the bar is fabulous & makes the best cocktails! Ashlyn was such a sweetheart, too! Great place in Greenport & perfect spot to grab a bite before seeing a show/film at the Arts Center read more

Anker has some definite good points- it is in a great location and the ambience and view upstairs are lovely. Our waiter was very friendly and professional, and overall the service was fast. The food, though, was just OK. We had a watermelon and tomato salad to start which was extremely fresh and delicious, but the entrees (risotto and duck) were underwhelming by comparison, especially considering the rather high prices. The risotto had a nice color and texture but was lacking in flavor aside from saltiness. The quality of the duck breast (which I am guessing is local) seemed very good, and the outside was seared really nicely, but it was lukewarm and slightly undercooked, and served with a quinoa salad that tasted like something you'd buy in the prepared foods section of a bodega. Again, though, the vibe is good. I would go back for beers or cocktails for sure, or might try checking out the lunch menu at some point, but definitely won't go back for dinner. read more

Came in for a nice late dinner. They sat a table of 8 next to us that was very loud (drunk) and I mentioned it and they said sorry but did nothing about it. Order the blackened swordfish and really didn't like how they prepared it. The steak was also not prepared in a way that we liked. Sorry, I will not go back there. Not my taste. read more

Came here the day before Veterans Day with my friend we drove from Queens it tooks 2 and half hours after rush hour. The seating area was up a long flight of stairs and the table had high chairs which were very difficult for Seniors to sit on. We wanted seafood so we both ordered the Lobster Rolls , Baked Clam and a Salad every thing was horrible !!! and it all had so much Dill on it. Both the clams and lobster were tough to chew. I have had Lobster Rolls in Freeport and other restaurants in Long Island not only was this bad but it was over priced too. The only thing I enjoyed was the beer and the view. It took us more than 4 hours to get home during the rush hour. It was a waste of time, gas and money!! read more

Honestly, I dont know where to begin! The food was horrible, my husband and my son got food poisoning from the fried fish and tuna burger! They got my order wrong the first time, and when I finally got my fish it was not cooked all the way, it was raw! The clam chowder, was NOT a clam chowder. Service was dysfunctional! The only good thing about this place was the view! read more

I had a lovely and delicious lunch here today. Do not be dissuaded by the prior negative reviews. The service was friendly and prompt. The upstairs outdoor area is gorgeous. The drinks were excellent. I had the crab toast (delicious) and the shrimp cocktail (perfectly cooked and the sauces were excellent). Finished with the sundae. read more

Over-the-top amazing food, staff and ambiance! Four ladies celebrating a milestone birthday, could not have been more pleased with the eclectic selection of food. We shared and loved all the dishes we ordered. The Kabocha squash, artichoke crab dip, fish & chips, char grilled oysters were all amazing. One lady was "culinarily challenged" so they made her a special chicken dish; she ended up leaving her comfort zone to taste everything and loving all of it. The staff were extremely accommodating and brought us complimentary deserts. I highly recommend this restaurant and have been inspired to re-create some of the dishes at home - wish me luck! read more

Stylish, off beat seafood bistrot w great drinks and unusual marine creations with excellent local ingredients. Super service and setting.

Amazing dinner experience on every level. Food was fresh and delicious with creative ingredients. Our party of 3 Sat on their roofdeck with good music and views of the water. Everything we ate was spectacular. We loved their swordfish special, mussels, blue claw crab toast and porgy sausage, oh and and their fish and chips. We left no room for dessert but heard that's a must try - something to look forward to next time! read more

Well I like different styles but this went a bit too far. The clam chowder was a disappointment but maybe some people love it. The blue claw toast looked great but too much citrus and dill to appreciate the crab. The porgy sausage was interesting but it taste like a mushy hotdog. The fish and chips were amazingly good but my wife's mussels disappointed her. Staff seemed a bit confused at times. So much staff that actually just walk around. I should of read the menu better before making reservations here. I guess my taste is out of the loop read more

We have not experienced bad service here, but either way the food is amazing. One of the best menus and food quality in Greenport, imho. We're adventurous, so we try everything. We loved everything we were presented with. We're avid restaurant connoisseurs and we just don't get the negativity. Food is some of the best out here. Our favorite restaurant is Al's Place in San Francisco and Anker is reminiscent of Al's. Such a win for us! read more

Young staff, so expect some of that vibe... but the place is great. The open air roof bar is fab - the food is lovely - the cocktails are top notch too. read more

The view was fabulous and decor was great, but we all didn't really like the food. Quite a few of us for lunch. Had several of the Lobster roll which was pretty good but the Fish and Chips were so over fired and super dark which means the oil was not clean. The Whitefish sandwich was Blue Fish and had a very weird taste. It was Just overall very greasy and not what we thought it would be. The fries were also dark from the oil. We also had to ask for out drinks several times and pour our own bottle of wine. read more

We discovered this place last night when walking around Greenport. We decided to go upstairs for a drink. The ambiance is absolutely lovely. A lovely view of the Marina from the upstairs. The cocktails we ordered were delicious. We ordered the Lavender Fields, Spicy Tamarita and Peconic Breeze. All 3 cocktails were delicious. I rarely order cocktails as only a few places know how to make well balanced quality cocktails. Happy to say our bartender Justin made delicious drinks and did so with a smile. We look forward to returning. read more

Limited menu. Over priced "fru-fru" food. I prefer less fussy trendy, more flavorful food. Raw oysters were superb ( hard to mess up). Lemonade was delicious. Clam chowder was full of clams but needed more salt and less taragon. It was almost there but herb overpowered the delicious clams. Monkfish cubano was overpowered by lamb panchetta. Crab toast was fussy to eat and again seafood taste of yummy crab was overwhelmed by citrus and spices. Deck was pretty. read more

Let me tell you what drives me crazy! Slow service in a place that is not even busy. Stoped in last evening around 7 for dinner at Anker. There were literally 3 tables seated in the entire restaurant. We sat upstairs and ordered 2 beers. The waitress came back 10 minutes later to say we are out of that- so we ordered 2 Peronis. The bartender put the bottles on the bar the waitress took 2 glasses and poured them straight in causing a huge head of foam- in fact the bartender commented on her poor form. Unpleasant to have 2-3 inches of foam on my beer. We ordered. Scallops appetizer was tasty and dinner was good. Took forever to clear our plates- again 3 tables and 2 waiters and a hostess- a bartender and a food runner....? Why? She finally cleared then came back a few minutes later with dessert menu we asked for the check. She brought the check then disappeared- my husband took the bill to the bar to pay it- ridiculous. I know it was Maritime festival weekend but no excuse to give pathetic service to a few Sunday evening diners. Seemed like she may have a relationship with the other male waiter- she spent more time talking to him. Sorry to say but that's how it was. read more

Everything about our lunch at Anker was phenomenal. The food was so fresh and flavorful, the service was quick and welcoming, and the setting is absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend! read more

Truly awful food. I could not even chew threw one of the few meager, tough, over-fried clams in the clam roll. It was so tough that I had to spit it out ($22 of inedible food). The lobster roll wasn't much better - peculiar, unpleasant seasoning that ruined the lobster. Not much lobster either for a pricey $32. Beware - the prices they show on their website are lower than what they are charging in the restaurant. Nice place to go for a drink, but don't order the food - it's inexcusably bad! read more

Here's my run down of Anker. Drinks 0 stars. Sucked I had a Kamikaze zero buzz. Decor 5 stars I liked the entire set up very nice Food 2.5 stars. Fish tacos good , oysters fresh no cocktail ( wtf ) sauce some weird seawater concept. Lobster bisque soup should just have been Bisque soup lobster flavor. Lobster appetizer hmmmm tiny portions come to mind. The fish tacos saved the food category. Deserts 4.5 stars enjoyed all three deserts coconut cream and chocolate mousse ( can't remember the 3rd ) were good . Service 1 star. The hostess did not know if her seats were available , reserved or what was going on advised us to ask inside. Ordered our drinks came out 30 minutes later minus a shot of tequila. 2 minutes after the drinks were served our meals came out served along with the appetizers at the same time. 6 plates on these tiny ass tables. We ordered desert which came out quick and along with it was that shot of missing shot tequila 1 hour later ( really how long does it take to prepare a shot of tequila ) Also we asked to canceled when the meals came guess they forgot. Anyway we kept the shot and paid for anyway. Note^ I am not really going after the actual floor staff they looked understaffed and not properly trained. This falls on Managment. Price Zero stars. Extremely expensive for the quality of food , drinks and service. $12 to $18 dollars for deserts hmm. This place is set up for the tourist who have $$ and bad taste buds. I did not see one local in the place except myself. Once the season is over what will Anker now do for the locals who are the only ones left behind. Simply put the his place is overrated. I have no problem spending $500 dollars on a meal that gives me a $500 experience. Anker does not do that for me. The bill was $245.00 plus $40 tip ( yes we do not punish our services for managment mistakes ) for a $100 experience I strongly recommend passing up Anker and just go hang out with the free Blacksmith across the street . Anker ~~~~~~~~~~~has been moved to the XXX list. One and done read more

I love this restaurant. The food is so fresh and original. Amazing grilled vegetables and vegetarian dishes (which they accommodated my request and made for me); others loved their schnitzel and kids' grilled cheese. We always come when we are in Greenport and sit outside on the deck upstairs. Our favorite in town! read more

We had a great experience at Anker! The service was friendly, the views and ambience were perfect, and the food was delicious. The asparagus was a surprise hit with a creamy pistachio sauce that hits the right note. We also had a whole fish that had a great smoky flavor. read more

The newest iteration of this spot is modern, creative, super fun and delicious. All of the dishes we had were great, but the standout is the BBQ fish collar. The wine list is interesting and well curated, and the view from the top deck is a must see. read more

Anker - Seafood Near Me - Greenport, New York

The food at Anker is very good, as are the servers. But, it appears the kitchen isn't equipped to handle the volume of take-out orders they're fulfilling. Two times recently we waited and waited for our food, even though the restaurant itself wasn't full. We know staffing is an issue throughout the area, but it's not ok to keep in-person customers waiting so long for their food. read more

Lovely 2nd floor atmosphere away from the noisy street traffic. The food was way overpriced and service was average. The clam chowder had few if any clams, the side order of fries came in coffee cup size container and cost $12.00!, a side order of bread was a hot dog bun that was toasted. Waitress brought the wrong beverage and the we watched as she poured wine from one glass to another to even out the pour. Everything on the menu was overpriced. Really feel that they are taking advantage of tourists. We won't be back. Beware read more

The food is like of typically tourism quality and nothing to highlight. Food is served really slow and waitress Jessica messed up our order 2 times and didn't even say sorry. 20% gratitude is included in check by default, which is ridiculously too high! Definitely not recommend! read more

The fish was way overcooked and salty like crazy. Stuff was nice. I am sorry but not impressed at all. read more

If you look at my profile, you'll see it's a mostly collection of 1-star rants about places that have wronged me. So you know that when I like a place enough to take my phone out of my pocket and actually give a 5-star, it must be REALLY good. In a town of mostly boring bar food, Anker stands out as an upscale option. Tppetizers rivaled some of the best restaurants in NYC. Customer service was 10/10 (another thing severely lacking in Greenport) and the chef personally checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. If your passing through Greenport, Anker is a must try. read more

I would like to start my review with the positives of Anker. The decor is charming and welcoming and the deck was lovely. The food was amazing. Everything we had was delicious. Kudos to the chef, but he or she better talk to the front of the house or they will be out of job. The drinks were atrocious, the worst maybe we have ever had. The bartender had no clue how to make drinks. My husband tried a few cocktails but they were off every time. My red wine was cold, not room temperature but cold. Actually had condensation on the glass. When I asked about the wine, the bartender said yea, we keep it in the fridge. The server upstairs gave us lunch menus, it was dinner, and never even came back to ask us anything. He was cuddling up with another server at the bar. Both apparently working, but PDA not appropriate. We decided to go downstairs hoping for better service. There was no bartender or server downstairs. We complained to the manager, so after a few minutes of him trying to justify the afore mentioned, he served us. We had a gift certificate hence the only reason we stayed. Our bill was over $200 and the experience was awful. Unfortunately we won't be going back, and it's a shame because the food was very good. Oh, and there were literally 2 people upstairs and then 3 downstairs. read more

Fish collars! Our waitress Selena was so helpful and prepared for our questions and highlighted the large fish collars among the shares. We were a little nervous but the plate was beautiful and tasted fantastic. The chef is doing great stuff here. Staff was very friendly the top deck is a little loud but love the view and atmosphere. Excited to come back for brunch soon! read more

So after not being able to be seated at Claudio's we wound up at this disappointing disaster of a restaurant- the "New England clam chowder was awful - seemed to have been microwaved and didn't quite heat thoroughly or come together - and it was filled with all kinds of superfluous ingredients that don't belong in a New England clam chowder - scallions and pieces of fish and I don't know what else. Not NE clam chowder - The lobster roll said it had something called YUCU in it and when I asked the waitress what it was she said a kind of garlic butter - which we found out later was actually a citrus fruit and the lobster was soaked in it / was chewy and without flavor. The fries were half burnt and inedible and the salad looked like it was from a spring mix and thrown on the plate- if that wasn't enough this meal w tip cost a whopping $140 - Please chef - take some lessons - horrible and will be cooking from home from now on !!!! read more

New management / ownership does not look good. Took 20 minutes for someone to come get a drink order and the restaurant was not even half full. The menu is trying too hard to be something it's not. Half between confused tapas and trying to be a Hamptons restaurant. read more

Service was poor before the Corona Virus; it is now terrible Tried to order take out dinner At 2 was told to call back at 4:30 At 4:30 was told call back at 5;30 Asked what fish was available for dinner " don't knew yet" At 5:30 was told to call back at 5:45 Told them I was a regular repeat customer - they were not interested Ambitious menu but can't deliver Won't try again read more

If you want location and ambient, this restaurant is a good choice. It is located on a busy street and they have a lovely deck on the second floor. Service was good, food took a while to come. We all enjoyed their food, it was delicious. But the portion is definitely small. The side dishes look way more than the main ingredient, to be honest, for the price I paid, I expected more food. We wanted to order deserts but I gave up that idea because I didn't want to get a cube of cake (lol). We walked to the ice cream place on the same street and each got an ice cream cone. The funny thing was after the ice cream, my mom said "now I finally feel full." read more

Well this place was a waste of money! Lets start off with being ignored to be seated. That should of been a huge red flag to walk out. We made eye contact with multiple employees and were either ignored of I must of forgotten to turn off my invisible button.... Waited a long time for the mediocre clam chowder to arrive and the drinks we ordered shortly after being seated were served well into our meal. They did everything backwards. $76 down the drain! Don't get hooked by the cute pictures! read more

Not much to say...but you're paying for the location and the view. The kids meal of pasta shells and tomato sauce was larger than the adult entree of three shrimp tacos. The kids Fish Fillet is grilled fish not battered. The Watermelon/Tomato Feta salad.....smallest salad Ive ever seen. Star was extremely friendly. But disappointed with the food/prices. read more

To the waitress that served us... Please wear your mask . Wearing on your chin does not help.

Service is horrible here- 2 people that worked there walked right in front of us and didn't offer us to sit down until we asked if they were open. They finally sat us down and took at least 20 mins for them to take our order. Clam chowder soup was not even hot & food wasn't good! drinks were ok. I don't recommend this place at all read more

While we appreciate the recent influx of new and interesting restaurants that the Mueller team has opened, one must not lose sight that there is a large population of locals here who cannot afford the exorbitant prices on any one of these three restaurant menus. Places like these do raise the bar and yes, change is good, but not at the expense of working class people who cannot go out with their family and afford a decent meal. Keep that in mind Anker, when you price a vegetarian dish of broccoli rabe and mushrooms at $26 bucks. read more
