Had read Hook and Anchor was one of the top seafood restaurants in the United States and it didn't disappoint. We had a nice booth and the noise level was perfect for conversation. The Halibut was maybe the best I have ever had. Jennie our server was super knowledgeable and on it. We will be back

Food and service was good. I had to bring my pets and they were super accommodating. Even tho we were on the patio, they had heat lamps.
The show of the night was the lobster roll, that was so tantalizing and rich with flavors.

The lobster roll is to die for. We had oysters and they were super delicious. The wife said her cioppino was one of the best she's had. Watch the MP dishes they were a little on the high side.
Martini was great and they have a pretty good wine selection too.
Kind of a country bohemian vibe inside.
We will definitely be going back.

H&N is my family’s go-to seafood restaurant. Lobster rolls better than going to Kennebunkport or Boston and for a great price! The food is the frills. Great drinks! Amazing value for the amount of food. Great service that makes you feel welcome and appreciated as a diner. We have been here for date nights, family get together, birthdays, and a Tuesday night dinner. Take out will satisfy your craving, but like all takeout, it’s not as great as dining at the restaurant.
