    Celebrating a special occasion with an intimate setting is great at No Anchor. I read of the establishment’s James Beard nomination in 2017, and have made it a point to visit ever since. We completely understand why it even received a nomination based off our experience, highlighting their recommendations in the short amount of time we spent there. Customer service was more than exceptional with the small chat and friendliness provided with our drinks.

    We splurged on the tasting menu and beer pairings and were so glad we did! I would highly recommend it. A few of the courses were some of the most creative and flavorful dishes I’d ever tried! There was a radish and Parmesan cream dish that made me seriously question my cooking skills, and a gnocchi-like dumpling dish that tasted like the forest floor in the best possible way. My only regret was eating a snack a few hours earlier, because I was very full by the end. The bartender-servers were extremely knowledgeable and willing to help and offer advice, and never once came off as snobby. The next time we’re in Seattle we definitely plan to return!

    Amazing server that walked us through each part of the menus with deep knowledge and enthusiasm. Describing beer pairings like most would talk about wine. The food was unique and exciting to try. We left happy we tried each dish but not craving more -the mushrooms, the radishes, sturgent fish and duck. ,

    My husband loves eclectic beer so we tried this place for date night. We were planning on ordering multiple courses and choosing beers to go with. We ordered 6 dishes and they brought everything out while we were still drinking our first drink. It all sat on our tiny table getting cold while we rushed to try everything. The person next to us complained about the same thing. Server said their kitchen was just “really efficient.” To me that means everything is pre made. Only dish worth having out of the six was the smoked sturgeon. Others were not good. I would go here to drink beer and listen to the music, never for dinner.

    This place is for real. My wife and I were on a Keto diet (not fun) when we chose to dine here, which means we missed out on a lot of the fun (beer), however the experience was exceptional. The waiter was engaging, friendly, courteous, and incredibly accommodating of our (self imposed) dietary restriction. The kitchen prepared our food per request omitting many of the intended (carbolicious) ingredients, and yet everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. Highly recommend this place. We’re definitely going back to enjoy the full experience after we’re off this diet!

    While the menu wasn’t very extensive, the food was amazing. My husband and I loved the selection of appetizer boards and beer. The service was amazing. Our server was attentive, friendly and super responsive. I would 100% suggest that picky eaters review the menu prior to choosing this location but if you are looking for a little bit of an adventure, some unique options and great ambience, I would highly recommend.

    Seating layout seems odd and results in seating proximity very close to others. Beer and cocktail list was good and varied, but kind of short. Food sounded interesting but lacked much depth or brightness of flavor. Service was attentive and good. Pricing was slightly high - everything seemed $1-$2 dollars more than it should have been.

    Went for a winter weekend lunch on a windy and rainy day. Loved the warmth of the staff and the interior immediately. The look and feel is wonderful, with wood everywhere, warm cozy lighting, and great music that gives the whole place an edgy but relaxed vibe. Beer is a big focus here and well selected. Staff is extremely knowledgable, laid-back, and genuine. Last but not least, it's hard to go wrong with the food. Upscale ingredients and pairings with less posh pricing. Had sous vide duck breast, smoked trout toast, pickled mussels, and a shrimp roll. All textures and flavors were perfect. The James Beard Award is well deserved.

    This was our third time at No Anchor. We’ve had their tasting menu twice - both times beautifully presented, very interesting and delicious. The restaurant has a very casual look, the food would be at home in a much more high-end looking place. They offer a great selection of hard-to-find beer and will pair it with the food. Even the music was cool and different. I hope this restaurant sticks around for a long time!

    My granddaughter picked No Anchor for our annual market stroll and lunch during the holidays. We shared marinated castelvetrano olives - her favorite. She gave them a thumbs up and we loved the garlic chips - just wish there were a few more. She had the charred eggplant on toast and i had the dungeness crab roll. Both were excellent. We didn’t try any of the special beers but saw others around us enjoying them. Our waiter was attentive, helpful and friendly. Great service. We will return!

    Having been here several times, No Anchor had become one of my go-to restaurants for phenomenal food and excellent beer pairings—without pretension. The owners, chefs, servers, and bartenders clearly take their crafts seriously, but not themselves, and I’m grateful for that. The dishes are inventive, multidimensional in flavor, and intelligent/clever when playing with texture and aesthetic. The cocktails are beautifully balanced and I know I can get some of my favorite beers (eg, Holy Mountain, Urban Family, E9, etc.), often local, with my meal.(Seattle needs more places like this where the hype is actually true.) Please keep up the wonderful work!

    I generally liked the food; very flavorful. However I was not that happy about quantity. Prices were alittle high for the amount of food you got. the only entree that seemed like dinner was the duck which i would recomend. all the other choices were smaller yet not priced as a small plate. Beer was also a little expensive with few options many of which were 8 and 12 oz and not on draft. I did not fell they were as special as i would have liked for the price. Service was very good. i did not get a greast feel for their menu. Probally will not go back soon to eat. With all of the great options to eat this does not feel that exceptional to me.

    We had a fun time at No Anchor. The beer menu is very unique, with a taste chart that we really enjoyed testing out. The food was interesting, and while we consider ourselves adventurous eaters, the menu and food presentation was a little to “out there” for us. Nevertheless, we had a great evening with exceptional service and would go there again.

    Husband and I were looking for a new place to try and were immediately drawn to the unique menu items and beer selection. It did not disappoint. The food is a bit pricey, but if you're not looking for a large meal and you can accept the price tag for small, but exceptional plates of food, this place is a great way to spend a night out--with a friend, family or significant other.
