Had a great Valentine's dinner here! We had a reservation and got immediately seated when we arrived. The bisque, lobster mac n' cheese, and lobster roll were all fantastic! We were craving seafood and this definitely hit the spot. Looking forward to coming back to try their other dishes!

Well, we saw an ad on Instagram for Hook & Anchor and decided to give it a try. Reservations are tough! We got one at 5pm for early dinner because nothing was available til 8 or 9. And you have to put a credit card to hold the table.
Hard to find parking though even at 5. The parking lot was packed so we parked on the street instead.
We got a tall table because all the regular tables are taken. The place is very lively. Atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. We ordered claim chowder, sea food tower and lobster roll. There were only 2 of us so the sea food tower was kind of overwhelming in terms of quantity. It was so good though but it was a lot. The shrimps were so big and tasty. Oysters and lobster were as excellent. I think sea food tower should be for a party if 4.
The big killer is the lobster roll. It just melted in your mouth! Never tasted anything like this. So good.
Overall, an excellent seafood restaurant! They don't take AMEX though. We'll definitely be back with our friends and family.

We chowed down on some chowder and a lobster roll! We didn’t have a reservation so sat on the right side of the restaurant at a family size table. But that was ok Everything came out really fast. The lobster roll came with extra butter. I am used to the rolls that have mayonnaise but this was decadent and great! We had the 4oz which was enough!

Excellent spot not too far from the beach. We ordered the Crab cakes and Lobster Mac as well as the Newport's Finest Salad with loads of seafood, salmon with roasted veggies which was SO DELICIOUS, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and the fish and chips, none of which we took photos of. Everything was so good!!

This is a dope spot. They have live music and the food was delicious. The clam chowder was on point, crab cakes were tasty and the lobster roll was the star of the show. Definitely go for the extra meat, it's worth it. The staff was very friendly and the bartender was pouring great drinks! If you're looking for some good seafood, give this place a try.
