⚠️ WARNING: Our Seafood Platters cause unexpected side effects including:
• Sudden silence at the table.
• Claims of “I’m full” followed by three more bites.
• The overwhelming need for an afternoon nana nap. Immediately.
• Loosening your belt and reconsidering your life choices.
• Taking home a container that somehow becomes dinner later.

The problem with coming to The Anchorage is that your eyes are often bigger than your puku. 🤣
But don’t stress!
If you find yourself halfway through a platter, questioning whether ordering “just one more thing” was really necessary, we’ve got you covered.
We’ll happily pack up the leftovers so tomorrow’s lunch, afternoon snack, midnight fridge raid, or “I definitely don’t feel like cooking tonight” dinner is already sorted. You’re welcome 😉

So come hungry. And if you can’t quite finish it all? We’ll send a little piece of Murihiku home with you ⚓️💜
