    We called ahead and had boat parking for our boat. Assistance parking and getting off boat. There was a band playing on the deck. Due to the temperature, we chose to eat on the deck of the restaurant. We thought it was going to be okay...could hear music and see the water. Unfortunately they do not have bamboo shades to block the evening sun from heating you directly on your back or in your face depending on the location of the chair. Our waiter was very GOOD! Very attentive to our orders and drinks. Highly recommend the Gorgonzola Bleu Cheese Chips...AWESOME! The Calamari was also great. Had Mango Chutney sauce...The various members of the group had order drinks from the bar. Very tasty... The various meals were definitely worth the trip. Sesame Seared Tuna was awesome with the sauce. Seafood Pasta you could not go wrong with...very fresh and plentiful...Shrimp and Grits were with a She Crab Gravy and was delicious. Three members of party got the Whole Crispy Flounder and Filet of Flounder and both were raving about how good it was. We were so full that dessert was not to be tried. Only recommendation would be purchasing roll down shades to block the sun on the west side of the building. We have eaten at numerous places on the lake. This probably one of the best...

    We had a great evening celebrating 2 birthdays in the family as well as Mother's Day. I had an incredible Wasabi Fried Tuna - WOW have had nothing like it - and a very generous portion. There was 8 of us and everyone enjoyed their meal and the views of the lake are unmatched anywhere else in Columbia.

    Very good experience tonight. Our server was very nice. I ordered the Seafood Pasta which was very good. Hushpuppies were also very good. Will go back again!

    Probably one of the best spots on the lake. Food is good, but really, pull up in your boat and listen to the bands. That's what lake life is all about.

    The food is top notch! If you want high end food in a casual atmosphere, this is the place. The chef will tailor your meal to whatever you would like!

    Dinner one the lake for my birthday last night, and I was looking forward to some good seafood. The ambiance was fine, one the deck overlooking the lake, a band playing (maybe a little too loud), started out with the she crab bisque and its was pretty good, followed with fried oysters. The oysters were cooked right, not overdone, but were so salty they were almost inedible. My fiancee's seafood platter wasn't much better, the fish and shrimp appeared to have been cooked in not quite hot enough oil, were soggy. Overall very dissappointed in the Rusty Anchor.

    One of the worst dining experiences ever in Columbia. Guests from out of town visiting and this place was recommended by the hotel they were staying. We had a few drinks in the outdoor area and there was some band and lots of drunk college kids screaming.. it reminded us a bit of Florida which is the atmosphere at beach restaurants there.. weather was great.. it was a fun time (we joked the menu said "twenty five cent natty ice all day!".. We then went into the restaurant. The prices were really high, the food was awful, and our server spilled an entire tray of ice tea all over the table next to us, then she was arguing with (I suppose the manager) about how she can't lose this job and some drama about her family.. The party that got iced was an elderly group they were drenched with tea and were surprisingly calm about the whole incident, while others cleaned up the broken glass and apologized. Finally when we got our food it was horrible.. and really expensive. Still a good day and the outdoor area with the dock was nice, the band was good. Certainly a good spot if you have a boat or want to relax by the lake, but avoid the restaurant by all means.

    'As good as it gets' - on Lake Murray, that is... Good food, great views of the water, generally you can also get live music here. There is an outside bar area for lunch then a nicer indoor spot for dinner. Very nautical theme inside - and like everything else on the lake, things shut down early so don't wait until too late to head over. Check it out by boat or car.

    Worst service I've ever received. I waited 25 minutes at the outdoor bar without the bartenders ever making eye contact or even saying "hello." I finally gave up trying to receive service outside and came inside, to receive the same lack of service. I'm a bar manager and would never tolerate this kind of service in my bar. I've been across the country and have never felt so unappreciated at a restaurant or bar. If you want to stand at a bar sober while watching everyone else beside you get served, this is your kind of joint. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.

    So, so, so very disappointed. It is a beautiful day and we wanted to go somewhere with outdoor seating. That that is rare in Irmo, we made the trek to The Rusty Anchor so we could eat lunch and look out across the lake. BIG MISTAKE! The food was just AWFUL! I got a burger that looked and tasted like they had taken the cheapest beef available, cooked it yesterday, and left it in a drawer overnight. Tough and tasteless. The beer was cold and the bartenders were friendly, but that is the only thing good about this place. On top of all of this, it was overpriced! A bloody mary with the cheapest vodka on the planet was $6. Avoid. Avoid. AVOID!!!

    This is one restaurant you don't want to miss in the Columbia, SC area -- actually on the lake in Chapin, SC. There is a great water view from every table and the food is out of this world. I visit this restaurant almost every time I visit or pass through Columbia. Jerry

    Visting some friends in town. The best kinds of friends have a boat, which they do. We cruised the lake and stopped by for some beverages and entertainment which were both excellent. The service was slow (but it was 100 degrees!) and I'd advise you to not come starving because the food was mediocre. But the view cannot be beat!
