Reviews for Anchor and Brine in Tampa, FL
Delicious, outdoor terrace dining at The Marriott on Water Street. This restaurant is located right in the river walk and has... wonderful sunset views. We split the shrimp cocktail, octopus appetizer and a grouper entree. The shrimp ($22 for four pieces)were very fresh, plump and served with a tangy cocktail sauce. The char-grilled octopus ($25) looked better than it tasted: thetexture was a bit mushy and the sauce (in my opinion) was too creamy and heavy for a warm summer evening. The grilled grouperentree ($36) was the star dish: the flaky fish was served with a slighty spicy sauce, blistered shishito peppers and accompaniedby a sweet corn puree and a mango-meyer lemon pico de gallo. It was a wonderful blend of spicy, creamy, sweet and savory. Therewas also live entertainment (guitarist) on Saturday evening, which added to the atmosphere. The servers were all top notch andvery knowledgeable about the menu. Read more
A great option for vegans. In addition to a delicious Barbaco made from vegan meat with a cauliflower base, there are several... other vegan options clearly marked the menu. The service and view from the dog-friendly patio make this a place we will bevisiting often! Read more
Great location, great vibe, great staff. I ordered the humble smoked turkey sandwich. It was perfect, not too smokey, bread held... up, and the aoli was mild enough to not overpower the turkey. I came here as a hungry traveler, not booked at the hotel. Iwould definitely eat here again! The staff was very nice. Read more
Excellent customer service with opportunity to double protein (did pay an additional fee) on my Cesar Salad. Service was quick... and with a customer focus. Food was beyond wonderful with a salad full flavor with grilled protein of chicken and shrimp. Vegetables were fresh and crisp even under hot grilled protein. Read more
Great food, awesome views. Welcoming and attentive staff. Ordered the Shrimp and scallops, it was perfection with an Old Fashion... to drink. Ordered the Chocolate praline pie for dessert and it was soooooo good. Recommend trying it when you visit Anchor andBrine. Read more
Absolutely spectacular! Amazing backdrop of our beautiful Tampa Bay with superb ambiance. Can't say enough about the food,... drink, and service we received (even with the Bucs opponents being in town for playoffs and staying at this hotel). Highlyrecommended and you won't be disappointed! Read more
Stopped in here on a Sunday evening for drinks. We sat briefly inside and then had our second round outside. The bartenders are... attentively and friendly. Same options inside and outside, but much larger bar outside with more seating. They have two TVs bothinside and outside and will play games but with no sound. The inside bar was pretty quiet. The outside bar is mostly coveredwith a nice view of Riverwalk and Harbour Island. Nice spot for a drink but can?t speak for the food. Read more
I'll get the only issue out of the way: inside bar service was off. Stopped there while waiting on rest of group to join. Only... one other set of two patrons and it took 12 min to get noticed with two bartenders there. While outside though service was spoton. And the food? FANTASTIC! The vibe is fabulous. Had the mussels and fried avocado. It wowed and I'm pretty critical about both items..... especially mussels. Outside bar was hopping!. Looking forward to a birthday celebration there in amonths time! Read more
