Excellent restaurant. I get so bored with the average fish preps but their crispy trout was perfect and interesting. The Not really Carbonara very nice as well. And the owner offered some very interesting white wine choices when their house wines were not available.

I’ve been to Anchovies Bar on numerous occasions and ALL of it, from the food, service and ambiance, it is top of the line. It’s anchovy season so get there now if you want a real”party in your mouth” experience! The anchovies were incredible and Chef Stuart brings them up to a whole different level w/his amazing and delicious recipes. HIGHLY recommend this place, you’ll be a return customer, it’s all about the seafood!
