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.

Two of us ordered the brisket - it was very dry/over- cooked in our opinion and cut incorrectly which likely made it more difficult to pull apart. Sweet potato fries were cold and overcooked/hard. Our server was awesome though, and replaced the fries with a different side option. Overall noise level was pretty high. Not great value imo.
Anchor & OreResponded on 31 October 2024
Thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry to hear that the brisket didn't meet your expectations and that the sweet potato fries were not up to par. I appreciate your mention of our server's efforts to make things right. We'll be sure to address the cooking and portioning issues with our kitchen team. Your input is invaluable as we strive to improve. We hope to have the chance to provide you with a better experience in the future!
