I rarely give feedback for restaurants, but in this case, I had to make an exception. Anchor social is a very special restaurant. The food is very thoughtfully curated and every dish we had was incredible. But the service atmosphere and overall “Cheers” feel is what makes this restaurant a truly special place. Highly recommend! you feel like everyone in there knows your name. 5 out of 5 stars. Wish we had more establishments like this one.

Food and entertainment were great! Service was very timely and staff are friendly. Be sure to make a reservation. If we didn’t we would have had to wait to be seated.

Let me start by saying I LOVE this place. It’s got the feeling of a family run operation where everyone is so passionate about the food and drink that they offer—and this as everyone knows is contagious. They skillfully lay the ground work for a terrific experience. The food is a multi-layered journey of exquisite tastes and textures. And literally every dish we ordered we fully enjoyed. The crab and rice balls, the broccolini, the half chicken (likely the best I have ever eaten, order this!) the pesto/crab pasta. My mother had the steak which wasn’t a good cut and the chef came out to address the issue, took the meal off of our tab and offered us desert. Where does this happen anymore in a sea of restaurants that have the attitude that the guest is lucky to be there? 29 Markle is a delight from all vantage points. And if you haven’t tried it, you should!

Do not sleep on this place, because apparently I’ve been doing exactly that since it opened. My wife and I came on a recommendation, and it didn’t disappoint in the slightest. We were greeted at the door by Vincent, who we later learned is the chef and owner. The space is beautiful, warm and intimate, with that classic old-school NYC feel (IFYKYK). Our server, Julia, was amazing: friendly, walked us through the menu, helped us course everything out, and then we were off to the races. From start to finish, the food was spectacular. Felt like it was Michelin-level, without the frou-frou stiffness. We started with the yellowfin tuna, seared with hot butter as it was served. I can’t express how delicious this dish was. Next came the scallops over a corn and bacon base, which were insanely good (everything was insanely good). Two for two, both knockout punches. After the scallops, Vincent sent out the white asparagus on the house. I’d never had anything like it. It tasted like a refined carbonara. Incredible. The rigatoni followed, with similar notes to the asparagus but a more traditional pasta base with bacon, and it was equally incredible. Our final course was the branzino, cooked to absolute perfection: crispy skin, and the fish itself soft, fresh, almost pillowy. We finished the night with a frozen cantaloupe sorbet and a tart. Both were fantastic endings to an already incredible meal. Every dish was portioned perfectly for two and set up to share. The drinks were as good as the food. We had the pomegranate gimlet and the pear martini. The best way I can describe it is that scene in Ratatouille where the critic takes one bite, his pupils dilate, and he’s transported back to his childhood. This meal did the same for me and took me somewhere close to culinary heaven. Everything about our night was first class. To Vincent and the entire staff: thank you for an incredible evening, and please don’t change a single thing. You’ve mastered the craft of joyful dining.

Our server, Andres, made great suggestions and really took great care of us at every step of the meal. We had lots of special requests for our young child. Everyone on the team is so friendly and fun. Such a great experience.

Excellent experience! the food was phenominal. My group of 6 tried a variety of shareable plates, 2 pastas, 2 pizzas and an entree all of which was fantastic! Stand outs, the raddichio salad, caccio e pepe and the radiatore pasta. I also very much enjoyed the swordfish entree! A+
