Anchor Down Dockside

It was a great find for us on the Southern Shore in central Long Island. We were looking for a bite to eat before going to a concert at Jones Beach Theatre. Wide variety on the menu to suit all budgets to a great outdoor waterfront seat on a canal and docks. Great service from their staff. Their raw bar with clams and shrimp, the Watermelon Feta Salad, and Falafels were great appetizers. NY Strip Steak, Horseradish crusted Salmon and White clam sauce with Linguine were excellent entrées. Lately entrées have been on the small side. My wife said she was expecting the usual small portions we have been getting lately dining out. But not here. The roasted potatoes with the steak were a meal in themselves. Same with a side order of fries. Nice drinks. Thank you for making our outing to Jones Beach perfect. We will be coming back!

If you want delicious seafood this is a must. The fluke was incredible tasty and fresh. And crab cake had big chunks of crab. In a great sauce. My friend had a Mahi Mahi

We want to give a huge thank you!! For doing such an incredible job hosting my daughter and future son-in-law’s engagement party.
A special shout out to Jennifer the owner and the amazing staff - Kevin, Joe, Lorraine & the whole team - you truly went above & beyond to make the day unforgettable.
The food was fantastic, the service was top notch, and the beautiful water views made everything even more special. We’re so grateful for everything you did to help us celebrate this special occasion!

Food here wasn't too shabby and staff was pretty okay. The service was extremely slow though, very much so, and seemed a bit disorganized. Although we made a reservation, we had to wait quite awhile even before getting seating, and it took a long time before they took our order, took a long time to get our apps, and took very long after our apps before the entree came out, and even took long to take our check.

To be fair, the food was all around pretty good. Caesar salad was fresh and tasty The lobster bisque was worth getting and seasoned well without being too salty, thankfully. The cod oreganata and shrimp scampi was solid. The crab cakes had too much batter for my taste and although big, kinda started tasting one note and reminded me of stuffing. I regret not going for the fish and chips. Or maybe I should gotten the lobster roll. Oh well, it was decent otherwise and maybe worth another try sometime.
