I'm excited to share my experience at the Anchor Rose, where we hosted our rehearsal dinner. The location was spot-on – we chose the deck on the right side, providing a lovely view of the water that set a great ambiance. The staff at the Anchor Rose really stood out. Their assistance leading up to the event was invaluable, ensuring everything was well-organized. The Santa Barbara view from the venue was a hit, especially for our out-of-town guests who got a taste of the local beauty. Even with a larger group and a full menu, the food service was impressively efficient. The dishes came out faster than expected and were absolutely delicious. I'm definitely considering this spot for future events. It strikes a perfect balance with its Santa Barbara charm, good food, attentive service, and wonderful views.

Casual but pleasant lunch experience. Right on the water with a great view. Clam chowder was exceptional as well as grilled octopus. Attentive service. Highly recommend. The whole menu seem delicious.

The food is delicious. Billy offer a great service and stunning view

We popped in for Happy Hour before sunset and sat on the open rooftop. What a great view of the Santa Barbara harbour! The hostess was super pleasant and let us chose our seats. The margaritas were really,really good! We had the shrimp cocktail and calamari friti. Both were very good; large, fresh shrimp and the calamari was cooked perfectly. The regular dinner menu is on the pricier side but you are paying for the location. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. They do have indoor, lower patio and bar seating. There was a band starting to play downstairs as we were leaving. For a beautiful view, food and service I would recommend going!

Awesome place for dinner. Calamari was actually perfect, my kids loved it, and they are particular about calamari. Sea bass was amazing. The cocktails were great and the mocktails were fun. Chowder was really good. Atmosphere was really nice as we sat on the rooftop. Overall great experience.

Stopped here for lunch, food was good and drinks were even better. Service and ambience were great. Billy was amazing and attentive to all table's. We were hesitant on coming here due to the horrible reviews. From our experience, it definitely shows the reviews are based on the type of person, not the establishment. Thanks again Billy, for the great experience

We stopped by for an early happy hour. The service was fantastic. The views from the second floor patio are spectacular. Really not sure why this place only has 4.1 rating. The mojito and mai tai were on point.

Food and atmosphere was amazing. We also ordered the grilled octopus and OMG it was sooooo good. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and her husband they were so nice and funny. The staff was so friendly especially Nicola. I am so glad we stopped at this restaurant. We will definitely be back!
