Bell & Anchor

We had such an amazing experience at Bell & Anchor in Sag Harbor. The food was truly fantastic which is rare in this region, where so many spots don’t quite live up to their price point. This one is absolutely worth it. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance: casual from the outside, but elevated and stylish once you’re in. We came here for my bachelorette with a group of 11, and they accommodated us with ease, no crazy deposits or required tasting menu. The service was excellent across the board, even with our large party, and everything from food to drinks was handled seamlessly. The steak was cooked to perfection, the oysters were outstanding (as expected), and the bar itself is beautiful. Prices felt more than fair for the quality and experience. I would come back in a heartbeat

Amazing restaurant with a tasteful interior - low lit tables, comfortable seating, and quiet! Would be a great place for a date or nice family dinner. Not too mention the fantastic view of the harbor My friends and I went here to celebrate my birthday, the staff were incredibly attentive and personable. Chelsey was our waiter, he frequently checked in on us and our glasses were never empty. Oysters - fresh and flavorful. Cesar salad - well seasoned. Beet salad - my personal favorite of the appetizers, the beets were wonderfully cold and sweet with arugula and goat cheese. Clam chowder - perfect execution of a classic. Tuna tartare - again amazing, fresh tuna, well seasoned Hamburger - fantastic Lobster Garganelli - delicious, didn’t feel heavy despite being a pasta dish Bouillabaisse -

The food was amazing, the waiter was attentive, and the service overall was excellent. From a dining standpoint, everything on the table was on point. However, the inside was extremely loud. It was difficult to have a simple conversation across a table for two, which took away from the experience. The exterior of the building looks more like a fish market than a restaurant, though the inside is nicely done. That said, the seating layout and arrangement could use some improvement to make it more comfortable. To top it off, there was a very intoxicated patron at the bar as we were leaving, which wasn’t the best ending to an otherwise good meal.

We absolutely love dining with John at the bar on Sundays and Tuesdays! The Portabella mushroom appetizer is to die for and the hearts of Palm salad is hands-down, my favorite salad anywhere, I have a very difficult time going there and not ordering it. The nightly specials are always wonderful as well And I have many menu favorites. They also have a beautiful list and don’t miss the mascarpone almond cake for dessert! During season, I highly recommend making reservations. It is a very busy spot!

For me a 3.5. Overall a nice restaurant with pretty good food. Chowder was tasty but the best appetizer was the frito misto. Perfectly crunchy batter and not at all oily. While chowder was good it was a little inconsistent. Some bowls were hot but some were barely warm and it was a little watery. Octopus special was also good, octopus was tender and cooked well. PB&O was a little odd for my group. I think the kimchi flavor didn’t work for us. Fish and chips was an overall favorite, tender flaky fish and crispy batter but some pieces were soggy on the bottom . Caesar salad was good. Beautiful presentation and flavorful dressing. Garganelli was a little underwhelming. Sauce was a little bland and the lobster didn’t add much flavor.
