    We had our first date and decided to have dinner at Anchor & Port. We are DEFINITELY glad we did! We'd made a reservation and upon arrival, the staff were very friendly and gave us an overview of the restaurant. We asked if we could sit outside by the river and they immediately set up a table for us. Amanda and the other staff made sure we had everything we needed, checking on us several times during our dinner. We also had a few nice chats with Amanda, she clearly cares about her guests! The food was fantastic (the cheese curd dip is amazing!) and the prices are more than fair. We will most certainly be back for more!
