Waitlist
How to Get a Seat:
The Anchorage is a first come - first serve restaurant but we also offer our wait list option every night. If the dining room fills up we will activate our wait list below. You can add your party online or by calling the restaurant. You will receive a text message with your estimated wait, a link to show parties waiting in front of you, and we'll text or call when your table is ready. If you are not present at the restaurant when your table is ready you may be bumped down the list or removed if there is no response after several attempts.
The Waitlist and standard service is reserved for parties fewer than 6. For Parties of 6-8 reservations must be made in advance using our booking system. These reservations include a tasting menu that is reflective of the a la carte experience. Please see our FAQ section for more information regarding large parties or feel free to Book Here!
