How to use it better on a return visit
For someone who has already been once, the move is to match the occasion to what is actually known. The Anchorage Tavern makes the most sense when the group wants casual dress, a roughly $30-per-person spend, a tavern in Somers Point. It is less clearly supported as a pick for diners who need a formal room, a specific menu style, or confirmed service details.
