About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood 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.

    Appetizer and entrees were cold. Salads contained mostly wilted lettuce. This is on par for our last two visits to this establishment. Owners should be embarrassed.

    We sat in the bar area next to the ice machine. Workers rattled the ice and dumped into a bucket so loud we couldn't talk. This happened for 3 rounds before we left. Food was sub par. Overall disappointed for our first visit. Probably will not return.

    This is the second time we’ve tried with an open mind. The food came out extremely slow and not one of us really liked it. My pork chop was good enough but not for the price. With two very underwhelming experiences I just can’t recommend or go back especially for $183 for 2 kids and 2 adults, no alcohol or dessert. Maybe you’ll have better luck.

    This is one of my faves in Louisville and I had out if town guests that I was entertaining. Ambiance was, as always, lovely. Service (Melissa) was great. Food, unfortunately, was sub-par. Won tons were gummy/chewy and cold, not fresh & crunchy. There was ribbon of paper in my guests risotto (salmon entree). Goat cheese salad had no dressing. And banana pudding was all meringue and no filling. We had a good time but I was very disappointed as I had raved about the restaurant.
