We stopped in for brunch during my daughter's cheer competition. The food was excellent. I ordered the honey brioche French toast and my husband ordered the grand rising. Everything was delicious. Portions are just right. The service by Marko was impeccable. We had a waterfront table right along the Riverwalk. Lovely place. We will be back for sure.

If you’re ever walking at the Riverwalk Anchor and Brine is worth a stop. They have a great burger and calamari. They also have great drinks. Every time I’ve been the service has been good and quick.

Love the location of Anchor and Brine, right on Riverwalk. The steak frites were good happy they didn’t overload the plate with too many fries. I also got the Cesar salad which was fresh but the Cesar dressing was very bland. Overall, good meal maybe just need to add some salt and pepper to the salad.

Nice place to do some water side dining. Our server Noah was really good. There were about 3 conventions going on at the hotel; it was a mad house. Because of that the food did take a bit. Thankfully we weren't in a hurry. The food was good. Ordered lots of seafood. The charred octopus was delicious. Two big tentacle chucks to cut up. The Grouper dip was amazing. Our kids are up both of these. The Grouper sandwich was ok. The fillet itself was great. Just probably would have been better on rice instead of on a bun. The cuban was tasty. All in all, we didn't expect to run into all the conventions, and the staff was great at still staying attentive to us in the chaos. I would go back.

This is definitely not your average hotel bar. It's perfectly located, with half of the bar inside the large lobby, and the other half is outside against the river walk. It really has a great date night atmosphere where there is also live music on the weekends. The espresso Martini was delicious! They offer many well crafted cocktail options as well as local beers. It's a great place to be on the water and have a nice breeze as you people watch. Highly recommend this as a local and tourist alike. Parking is a tad tricky if you're not a hotel guest, but it's an easy walk along the river to get to.

The meal was delightful, the ambiance was wonderful, and the service was outstanding. Our waiter Castle was extremely attentive and very friendly. I opted for the surf & turf with two Beers, while my spouse chose the steak and shrimp dinner with two cocktails, and the dishes were simply superb.

Riverside dining, service was outstanding!! Grouper was very fresh!! Perfect on top of the kale salad, which was loaded with cherries, grapes, and hazelnuts. Grouper fish tacos, fantastic as well. Perfect stop to enjoy a cocktail. Live music.
