4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles - Eater LA
"The Anchor is a staple Venice restaurant, though it often gets less attention than some of the bigger names nearby. That’s okay; owner Kristin Ciccolella, an East Coaster with a can-do attitude and a hearty laugh, knows that it’s her regulars that have kept her in business all these years, and thanks to a large patio and quality seafood menu, she isn’t planning on going anywhere any time soon. There’s clam chowder and lobster bisque for those feeling the cozy, chilly vibes, and raw oysters, shrimp ceviche, and fried calamari for those trying to reclaim an early bit of sunshine and summer. The star of the show has to be the larger-than-life lobster roll, a behemoth of shellfish meat that is a relative steal at $28, at least compared to many others on the Westside. That’s just the kind of place that the Anchor is — few frills, no fuss, and big on flavor." - Eater Staff
