  My friend and I went to the Anchor Inn for dinner in August. We knew the former Anchor Inn which had great food at value for money prices as well as competent service. The same cannot be said for the Anchor Inn now under new ownership and management. While the interior has been nicely upgraded, the food as well as service is a step down. The special (swordfish with lentils) came without the lentils and plain white rice instead. When we asked why we were told that they ran out of lentils. But no one told us that until we asked. The beans that came with the same dish were hardly cooked but nearly raw. The serving staff was inexperienced and while she kept apologizing, she did not make an effort to check with the kitchen what could be done to improve our experience.
  At this level of service and with the now higher price level, the new Anchor Inn is unlikely to make it - maybe with the tourists but not with the local clientele to whom we belong and that keeps restaurants going during the off-season. Sad for such a great location.

  Renovations to the dining room and bar are fine but the dining room menu was limited, there was too much beef and not enough seafood (and this is the coast of Maine!). The food preparation for the most part was adequate but nothing special and expensive for what we got.
