Absolutely delicious food! Beautiful view of the harbour and extremely friendly staff. Someone in our group had gluten, egg, and milk allergies, and they were able to accomodate. They have the best bacon ever! If you get anything with bacon in it, you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful view of the water. Friendly staff, comfortable seats, nice music. Fabulous food!!! Breakfast was presented so nice, and delicious to eat. We had the waffle and apple pancakes. Would absolutely come again.

Easily one of the best restaurants in town, and still one of my favourite restaurants anywhere I’ve travelled. I have come here many times and will continue for many more. The food has always been exquisite, with no exception. Staff is not only friendly but go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience. The interior is also very comfortable, upscale, with beautiful lighting and plenty of cushy seating, cool during hot summer days and warm during cold winters. Has floor to ceiling windows with a nice view of the old train station on one side and the boat docks on the other. Could not recommend more.

Food and service was fantastic. Had the brisket with mac & cheese, it was delicious. Wife had the shrimp putanessca also amazing. Laura was our server and was absolutely outstanding! Very attentive and made excellent recommendations.

Food - I ordered the vegan salad with tofu. Granted it looked really beautiful the way it was presented and it tasted OK. However, the tofu was cold and there was far too much oil and too much salt. My friend ordered the flatbread and he said it was only OK as well. Service - It took almost an hour for us to get our food. Not ideal. Ambiance - It does look pretty here. It has a nice view of the bay. The restaurant is located inside of a hotel. I think the ambience is probably the best part of this location. Bathrooms - The bathrooms are located around the corner, part of the main lobby of the hotel. They are clean and well kept. Other - we came here on the night of the Stanley Cup finals. They did have the game on the screens however there was no sound. We asked for the sound to be turned on and they mentioned that the sound is wired so that you can only hear it in the hallway behind the restaurant, the girl even laughed when she told me that. Definitely not an ideal place to go if you’re looking to watch a sporting event.

The views here at Anchor & Ore are beautiful. Let me tell you what I enjoyed. The crème brulée ($14) was beautiful, and my mock drink was sooooo refreshing. It was called Lavender Lemon Earl Grey Iced Tea. I could drink more of it if it didn't cost me $8🤦🏾‍♀️. The fish & chips ($27) looked really good but so disappointed in the taste, or lack thereof. The "tarter sauce" I think, had something they mixed in it that did not taste good. Wish they had just regular plain tarter sauce. Didn't finish it 🙁🙁.

Elvin and Robin were wonderful. Elvin was the first person we greeted and he definitely contributed to a very enjoyable experience. He was very friendly and it was a pleasure to meet him and watch his interactions with other guests as well as ourselves. Our waitress, Robin, was so good. She made appropriate suggestions without being overly suggestive. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. The Atlantic Salmon was wonderful. The brussel spouts were extremely good. Robin was attentive and not overbearing. The whole experience was great

★★★
November 23, 2024

Food is very good! Service is not good especially for breakfast/lunch. Hard to find a server at times. We sat at the host station for over 5 minutes. Then we just sat ourselves. Restaurant was almost empty and the staff was in the back. I would not recommend until the service staff is better trained. Too bad as the food is good. F&B manager has to do a better job training staff.

Really happy with A&O! Beautiful views, EXCELLENT wait staff. Robin was so knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. We also observed another server waiting on a table of 20 and he was so impressive. The side Caesar was the perfect size and had bacon on it-everything is better with bacon. The Cajun chicken tenders were so good, spicy but not too hot. Cocktails were top tier

Please do yourselves a favour and get rid of whoever is in the back that clearly cant boil water without a recipe much less execute an entre that has a hint of flavour besides a mouthful of garlic or cold grease. If I ever eat here again, Ill cook it myself.

Pricey. Nice view. Nice windows. Food was rather salty. The quality of the food that is main dishes is/are probably no better perhaps even slightly worse than Tim Hortons. High prices. Best part.

The view from the hostess stand was nice I guess. Stayed there for 10 minutes waiting to get seated. Made eye contact with staff multiple times, but they didnt seem interested in their jobs that day. Was 8:15am, so during their open hours. Guess they just didnt feel like it.

Very beautiful spot on water front with great ambiance but the service is just poor and attention to cleanliness lacking. I have enjoyed visiting but last 2 times were unpleasant and today I didnt make it to a meal. Was sat at a dirty table with no service for 10 minutes so I left. Patio closed on a sunny day because apparently all the tables were dirty. QR code for menu was expired and most beer taps were not even in use. Love thunder bay and support growth of the water front but these poorly run businesses just bring it down. Shameful!

September 23, 2024

Worst restaurant experience ever sat for over an hour for lunch. Not even enough common sense to bring the kids food out first. This restaurant needs a wake call and not the one from the hotel lol. Will never go back even if the meal was free. What a dump

★★★
August 23, 2024

I cant say that I would recommend the Sunday brunch. We were there Aug 18/24. If you have to wait more than 5 minutes for plates and the restaurant isnt overly busy, that is a sign. Buns, salads and condiments were slow to be refilled. Plates slow to be cleared. Water glasses not particularly clean. The assistant manager did apologize for some issues in the kitchen and hoped we would return to try again. I was disappointed and will not return. For $35/person I expected better.

We have been regulars at Delta in Thunder Bay since it has opened. We had the delight of meeting Annie at our first breakfast there after COVID and we are lucky to get her as our server each time. She remembers what we usually order and always stops to have a quick chat. Her smile is infectious and she makes sure we are happy with our orders. She even knows we always need the shade lowered as the morning sun can be pretty hot even in Thunder Bay.

Guests at the hotel. Fish and chips the first night were soggy and fish mushy. Tartar sauce was odd, not my first choice. We tried breakfast the next day. Worst eggs Benedict I ve ever had.

Pretty bad overall. Over 40 mins for fish and chips. When it arrived, tiny portion of fish and the fish was barely lukewarm. Cold in the center. The tiny fish was mush, may as well have been breaded oatmeal. Tiny fries portion, also cold. Id rather eat a McDonalds McFish. Very nice venue. Service was awfully slow and food actually bad. Staff was apologetic and tried.

Food over priced and service was not good ! View is great but Food was all cold and the server could not care!! The food was just average when prepared and server did not know what she was doing . You would think she would be trained but I guess that is to much to ask for ! I will not rush back or recommend this place to anyone!!

Great view but the Salmon was missing seasoning. Service was very poor, the lady served food with no utensils, when we said the food didnt taste good she said oh thats too bad Definitely I will never go back there Adding an update to this review: The operations manager reached out and asked to attend a brunch to come and try out the restaurant again. We went for brunch on Sunday May 26, 2024. The staff welcomes us. It was buffet and we went and tried out few options out of variety they had. I has the eggs Benedict and it tasted very good but not very warm. Pastries were good as well. I would say I definitely had a better experience considering the dinner we were there for. Definitely more room to improve. Thanks

Service was great. Waited forever for food Got food - had hair between ham & egg in my Eggs Benedict.. Server did replace within 10 minutes after we waited over 1/2 hour for our meals in the 1st place. I had lost my appetite so just took home. Paid for the meal. Do not expect a meal for free.. I suggested hair nets in the kitchen. They possibly were understaffed - was very busy Mothers Day. I will go back again as I am sure that is not up to their standard. Everyone is entitled to a 2nd chance. Beautiful view All is good.

Went to the Sunday Brunch Buffet quick tip: make a reservation ahead of time so you get a seat like we did! its popular but didnt feel cramped where we were seated thumbs up Buffet Food was delicious and replenished quickly the breakfast items were great and the lunch items were great too...the roasted cauliflower salad was sooo good! Kory and her staff were Great!! They were accommodating for children and us needing a high chair, our waitress was great and made sure we had everything we needed! Kory added a special touch to breakfast for our daughter it was so kind of her! Another nice surprise too, there was a craft show going on in the conference area that we walked through after brunch..And last but not least THE VIEW from the restaurant is beautiful! wall to wall windows throughout overlooking the marina and lake superior :) We will be back! We were also at this restaurant 2 years ago for a staff Christmas party and the service and food was great back then too! sometimes you see restaurants go downhill after a couple years of operations, NOT Anchor and Ore everything is still wondeful and delicious!!

She even reminded me of things I could get for free of with my voucher after I have forgotten. Food is standard, nothing extravagant, but extremely filling. Regular price is also fair for the quantity. Would recommend eating here if you need a convenient and filling breakfast.

★★★
May 23, 2024

Not a great experience. I had been to the brunch a few times and it was very good. Dinner not so much. Our server was too busy at the bar to meet our needs. When our dinner did arrive we had no cutlery. The waitress said she would be back with some but that never happened so I took it off the table next to ours. Service was slow. Food was just okay. Asked for bread/buns but they do not offer that. How hard is to offer a bread basket with a meal. I would have gladly paid for it. I will return for the brunch but nothing more.

Went on Mothers Day for breakfast. Reservation was at 10:15 and our food arrived at 11:45. Much too long to wait but they did provide fruit bowls on the house while we waited. Food was mediocre. Some dishes were good while the pancakes were disliked by both persons in our group. Tasted like they came from a box and when we asked if they served it with real maple syrup the answer was yes (but it wasnt). Restaurant was beautiful and wait staff was very nice but not sure we will go back.

Such a disappointing experience. My boyfriend and I came for the Sunday brunch buffet. I had made us a reservation in advance. We were seated but after that, no servers approached our table. We watched tables seated after us be served promptly. My boyfriend and I ended up helping ourselves to the buffet without any drinks. A good 20 minutes went by without service until I approached a group of servers standing at the bar area to alert them that we had not been attended to for over 20 minutes. A woman, who appeared to be a manager, began saying Oh, we had assumed before abruptly cutting herself off. We would love to know what was assumed and how that assumption led to us not being acknowledged for 20+ minutes. This is unacceptable, unprofessional, and the restaurant should be embarrassed. We will not be returning.

Food was good! Atmosphere was lovely! Great spot near the lake with big windows. Friday night had fancy vibes with a great live performance in the corner. Service unfortunately, was very slow for a Friday night with events happening in the weekend at the hotel.. It seemed there were only 2 servers for the whole restaurant! Cant speak to other times or days though, so maybe it was a flook or maybe theyre hiring. Either way, enjoyable experience.

Our group of 8 for dinner this evening was well tended to by Gabby. With her hospitable demeanour, and knowledge of the menu, she was able to provide suggestions and comparisons. We were not rushed through dinner and were made to feel that we were welcome to linger afterwards. The restaurant was busy, but appropriately staffed to ensure everyone was well taken care of. Tables of guests in our vicinity appeared to be enjoying themselves as well. Korrie also came by the table to ascertain everyone s meal was to their liking, and to thank us for choosing the Anchor & Ore for our gathering. (How nice to be appreciated!) We look forward to a return visit! With so many menu options, but limited appetites, we have to go back and try some other items! Thanks for a great evening out!

a group of 8 of us visited on Nov 17, our server was (Gabby) she was great, very attentive, knew her menu very well, made recommendations. All of our meals were really good, some had fish and chips, some had fish tacos and someone had a salmon dish and that I wished I would have taken a pic of it was beautiful in presentation and the person eating it said that the salsa that came with it was delicious. Another nice feature is the ceilings are so high that there isnt that feeling like you have to shout across the table, like at most eating establishments. We had a lovely (Not rushed dinner) and will try again in the summer to experience the outdoor patio. Parking: within a few feet of the door
