We enjoyed the grilled octopus and ceviche for apps and lobster and shrimp pasta for dinner. The margarita had a “bubble” that was filled with smoke which was unique and fun. Nice waitstaff and good ambiance.

Pirate-themed dinner hosted by the resort blocked our beach views and made the noise level pretty annoying.

My friend and I had dinner at Anchor & Den last night and have to say it was such a great experience!!! I have dietary needs so the server asked the chef to come to our table to make a few suggestions and ensure my needs were taken care of. The food was amazing and the staff were so incredibly attentive and friendly. Thank you for an amazing dining experience!!!!!
