Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

The Village Anchor offers a unique setting in Louisville’s east end, both for personal and professional occasions. The Village Anchor Restaurant and Anchor Bar on the main floor bring together stone, red leathers, rich worn velvets, wrought iron, dark woods, Italian appointments, Carrera marble, and the original crimson red beer taps from Churchill Down’s Silks Bar. It offers an upscale-casual, fun environment with an inimitable European flavor and exotic French flair. The lower level Sea Hag Pub offers a completely different look and feel. The “Hag” brings together brick, worn woods, hand-wrought iron, stone, and copper. The 30-foot copper bar with built-in ice troughs chill your favorite brew or wine.

Please recognize that we do our best to accommodate patio dining reservations, though seating is based on weather and availability.

We were seated downstairs our orders were taken drinks brought. After 48 mintues There was no sign of our waiter no food. The wait staff and bartender were preoccupied with chatting instead of waiting on customers, The manager stopped by our table to see if we had ordered and realized that the kitchen had not even started our order. We left, hungry and had to find another restaurtant. I would not recommend and will not return.

The food was great however there was some sort of server mix up which caused a very long delay and a couple or order mix ups. Management came over to apologize. It felt like a one off mistake and not necessarily some that happens all the time. We would go back again.

We were seated by the entrance and being cold outside it was a rush of cold air too often. Maybe an improvement of adding vestibule like Selina’s did to make that part of dining room more comfortable. Meatloaf burger was excellent but server imputed my order wrong so wrong entree was delivered. My guest went ahead and ate and finished meal by the time my pork chop dinner was delivered. Pork chop was outstanding but the sweet potatoes were just semi warm mush definitely disappointed. Server offered a free dessert and we took carrot cake to go as such a nice gesture. Carrot cake was terrible as dried burnt cake with a cut that resembled a whack off side of cake. Overall not the experience we are used to receiving here.

This is my favorite place to have lunch with friends. Great food and the atmosphere is so pleasant. They never rush you and the staff are so very friendly. I have eaten at this establishment for several years and plan on continuing it for many more.
