Thank you 'Anchor' peoples! Amazing food and service. Lovely decor and fantastic view over marina. Couldn't fault our night, thanks again.

Great food and service :)

Great place for the family! Lovely vareity of food and nice ambience in a great location. Easy parking as well :)

What a lovely dining experience ,comfortable chairs with fab view topped off by delicious food. Two of our party had the whitebait and they smelt devine I was assured they tasted just as good. Another member the lamb and that was juicy amd tender. I had the stuffed Portobello mushrooms which were an explosion of taste and texture.The chocolate decadence and crunchy apple and fruit crumble were the pudding choices and very good choices indeed.The chocolate cake was melt in the mouth gooey deliciousness and the crumble hit the right spot.The service was friendly and prompt.Would highly recommend the Anchor and and grill we look foward to dining there again soon and testing many more of their wide range of delectable delights.

Nice view of the marina while we enjoyed a delicious meal at the Anchor. Friendly staff.

Awesome service and amazing food! Highly recommend

Lovely outlook at the marina. Lovely meals, with great presentation. Very yummy. Friendly and helpful staff. No reservations in recommending this restaurant if you are in Nelson.

Pleasant meal and staff were very helpful when a piece of fish was not cooked properly. Not an issue to replace the meal. Very good service

Great atmosphere . Great food. Great staff.

Fast turn around of food and friendly service. The main was more enjoyable than dessert.

Great food & service to sit alongside a great 'first table' deal

Delicious! Portions were huge and very tasty! Service was great. I’d go back tomorrow if I could

To start with the scallops were delicious crispy crunchy golden battered morsels with whitebait as an entree we shared. Then the eye fillet beef cooked to perfection which has a slight charred flavour which is a marriage with the Jus and with my favourite dauphinoise potatoes. Then the sticky date pudding is a must also. Wowee totally satisfied again....

Fantastic dinner

Staff were fabulous, lovely location and the portions generous. A lovely meal.

Very good service. Big meals. Would dine again :o)

Lovely meal husband enjoyed his whitebait patties, scallops meal crispy and tasty service fast and friendly thanks

Fabulous experience as always. Plenty of parking and great views over the marina top off a lovely evening of delicous perfectly cooked food and friendly efficient service! Thank you

Lovely meal as always, great staff, family enjoyed themselves. Thanks sooo much

Great food and amazing service!! Food is so yummy and the vibe of the place is just lovely! Highly recommend

Food was lovely. Good sized meals and great selection, something for everyone. We all went away with a full tummy but not feeling heavy. Only thing I could say is that a non alcoholic beverage list on the table with the wine list would be great and possibly a different brand of pepper. Seems to be a bustling restaurant and nicely tucked away location is good and relaxed. Ample off and on street parking. A most enjoyable experience. Thanks, will be in again.

Great service considering we had a 3 year old with us. He was well catered for.

Dined at Anchor Restaurant and Bar on 28 May 2019, booking through First Table. There was a large and varied menu to choose from, food was well presented and very tasty. In my party of 3, we all had something different and we all enjoyed our meals. Recommended.

Enjoyable meal with pleasant staff and good service

Great service!

Great food!

Nice food and good size portion

Anchor Restaurant is consistent with their high standard of service and food and we are always made welcome. The service is fast, friendly and always with a smile. Their dishes are always plated beautifully and full of flavour. A highlight is the shrimp salad which is fresh and tasty and a very generous size. We fully recommend Anchor Restaurant for any occasion.

Really enjoyed the dining experience.Food was great and we had an entertaining waitress.

Fantastic, friendly staff made the experience a great one!

Fantastic service food wasn't the best we have had there before. Overall a good experience will be back.

Great view from our table. Food and service very good aswell. Recommended for a good seafood meal!

A great visit to this well established restaurant situated next to the Marina in Nelson. Service was very good the food arrived on time and small requests were completed very quickly. Would visit again top value in nelson

Fantastic service, friendly staff, great environment and fantastic food. Awesome place to go for a meal by the sea.

Such a Great Restaurant and Our Table had a Fabulous View of The Marina. Very decent sized portions and very tasty Whitebait Fritters, and Mushrooms Main, although the 2 x Special of The Day Bluenose were overcooked.
A Great Variety on the Menu to choose from. Floor Staff still need better Training. It would be more Professional to have Staff looking after their own section; being aware of which Guest ordered which meal, checking up on how the meals are, and asking if we'd like another drink with our meals... We had 4 different Staff ; one of whom was quite blunt.

We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The meal was amazing, people were lovely. It was a relaxing environment.. will go back again for sure.

Loved the food! The menu had lots of great choices and the meal sizes were more than ample. The food was presented well and tasted lovely. The service was friendly and helpful. We had a window seat and enjoyed the view of the yacht marina and hills beyond.

Lovely view from our table, the seagull looking in was quite envious. And he should have been! From the delicious soup to the divine tiramisu everything about this dining experience was a pleasure. The main meals were totally succulent, we both had a different fish meal and each of us thoroughly enjoyed them. Our plates were scraped clean to enjoy the last of the sauces

First Table was a Prime Table! I expected to be seated at the back of the restaurant in the “cheap seats” but we had a table at the window with a view of the marina. Nelson’s version of Monte Carlo. The staff were friendly, funny and efficient. There was no irritating “musac” or background noise to stifle conversation and it was a relaxing, casual dining experience. Oh! I almost forgot. The food was delicious. Ample portions, especially the mussels, and a menu to suit all tastes and diets.

We had a great time together as a family celebrating a 21st and 51st birthday!
We were looking for a resturant that served seafood so we were very happy to find Anchor Bar and Grill on First Table.
Our meal and the staff were both great. We'll definitely be eating at The Anchor Bar and Grill again.
