ANCHOR DOWN SEAFOOD BAR AND GRILL
In 2014, Stephen Rosenbluth and his wife opened Anchor Down just off the
South Shore, pairing Rosenbluth’s love for cooking and fishing with a light,
comfortable and casual atmosphere. Rosenbluth’s wife thought of the name.
She assumed that if they named it Anchor Down that they’d stick around,
and they’re still here. Rosenbluth has helmed the kitchen in several notable
Manhattan restaurants and seafood markets, spent summers working as a
fisherman in Montauk and now serves creative, locally sourced seafood
fare. Located on the East Bay, Anchor Down is truly Long Island’s premiere
seafood restaurant. www.anchordownny.com
