I brought a friend here to celebrate her birthday, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish! I had to make a last-minute change to our reservation, and we also arrived a little late due to parking, but the staff was incredibly understanding and flexible. The food was outstanding! I’ve been to the Norwalk location, and this restaurant absolutely matches that same level of excellence. We ordered a bottle of Nebbiolo, the beet salad and meatballs, and we all enjoyed the mushroom and truffle tagliatelle. Everything was delicious. A special shout-out to Michael and Natalia, who provided excellent service throughout the evening. Their recommendations were spot-on, and we were so glad we took their advice. They made our birthday celebration feel especially welcoming and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

AHHHHMMAAAZZING! From start to finish. The food is sooo special, creative flavors perfectly paired and prepared. Don't leave without trying their pasta or burrata salad w/squash, or the most most most wonderful, warm, melt-in your mouth focaccia. Or the fish of the day. Wish we could have tried everything! And what a show from their kitchen! Sit at the chef's table and watch this team of professionals put out the most delicious and beautiful dishes, in the most perfectly choreographed way. Great service, too, from an experienced team in a great space. Bravo, Chef! To you and your whole team! Can't wait to visit again!

 I rarely give feedback for restaurants, but in this case, I had to make an exception. Anchor social is a very special restaurant. The food is very thoughtfully curated and every dish we had was incredible. But the service atmosphere and overall “Cheers” feel is what makes this restaurant a truly special place. Highly recommend! you feel like everyone in there knows your name. 5 out of 5 stars. Wish we had more establishments like this one.
