Hook and Anchor Fish & Lobster House

The food and service were outstanding! Stumbled onto this place based on their reviews and boy am I glad that we did. It's a small place located in a small mall, but don't let that keep you away. The halibut and chips were cooked to perfection. The fish was warm, flack, and tasty while the batter remained crisp and never got soggy. The clam chowder was also an A+ and actually had clams in it. Everyone from their staff interacted with us during our visit. They were polite, helpful, and courteous. Hook & Anchor had a good selection of beverages, including beer and cold seltzers. Fun, indoor seating with a family-style feel, although we opted to eat on their patio. Coming back next time with a group of friends.

Absolutely UNREAL food. The fish and chips is the best I have ever tasted. We flew in and happened upon this joint while going to the beach. And I can’t stop thinking about it! It’s simply a must do while in the area. Food was dope. Workers were dope

This is one of the best spots we discovered so far in Newport Beach. The employees are very friendly, including the lady at the cashier and the waiter. Both came to our table a couple of times to ask if everything was alright. All of the dishes were delicious. Their clam chowder is very flavorful, the cioppino was very good. The oysters and the scallops were very fresh as well, and the draft beer was good. The food is cooked very quickly. We really enjoyed our experience here. Definitely will be back again.

The food was good, couldn't enjoy it due to the drilling/sawing that was happening. Service was good, attentive. Curious why there was no after hours construction permit. Also wondered it their neighbors were trying to ruin their lunch time crowd. Food report Excellent French fries, good fish couldn't used little less salt. The calamari fries were on point, crispy tender. The pickled onions were a great touch. A sign could have been placed outside- please excuse our neighbors drilling - sodas on us.
