Celebrating a special occasion with an intimate setting is great at No Anchor. I read of the establishment’s James Beard nomination in 2017, and have made it a point to visit ever since. We completely understand why it even received a nomination based off our experience, highlighting their recommendations in the short amount of time we spent there. Customer service was more than exceptional with the small chat and friendliness provided with our drinks.

We splurged on the tasting menu and beer pairings and were so glad we did! I would highly recommend it. A few of the courses were some of the most creative and flavorful dishes I’d ever tried! There was a radish and Parmesan cream dish that made me seriously question my cooking skills, and a gnocchi-like dumpling dish that tasted like the forest floor in the best possible way. My only regret was eating a snack a few hours earlier, because I was very full by the end. The bartender-servers were extremely knowledgeable and willing to help and offer advice, and never once came off as snobby. The next time we’re in Seattle we definitely plan to return!

Amazing server that walked us through each part of the menus with deep knowledge and enthusiasm. Describing beer pairings like most would talk about wine. The food was unique and exciting to try. We left happy we tried each dish but not craving more -the mushrooms, the radishes, sturgent fish and duck. ,

My husband loves eclectic beer so we tried this place for date night. We were planning on ordering multiple courses and choosing beers to go with. We ordered 6 dishes and they brought everything out while we were still drinking our first drink. It all sat on our tiny table getting cold while we rushed to try everything. The person next to us complained about the same thing. Server said their kitchen was just “really efficient.” To me that means everything is pre made. Only dish worth having out of the six was the smoked sturgeon. Others were not good. I would go here to drink beer and listen to the music, never for dinner.
