   Blaring lights on the patio felt like an interrogation room. Then they had the heat pumping right under our table so it was like sitting in an inferno. The bright lights and blazing furnace on us the whole dinner took away a lot from the nice food.

   I want to start this off by saying the food and server (Alan) we had were nothing short of phenomenal… Me and my wife checked into our reservation 30 mins early expecting to have to wait no big deal, instead 1 of the 4 hostesses gave a nasty attitude and made sure to let us know we were sat too early and that our specific table was reserved for 7pm (2 hrs after we arrived) which made us feel rushed for the duration of our dinner. Instead of getting to enjoy the atmosphere we had a front row seat to the hostesses having an argument over who would go home, not only that on my way out as I was getting up and gathering my things the hostess trying to get by me before and wasn’t able to so she stood and gave me a glaring look. I understand I am not the quickest mover being an amputee, but I have never experienced such a lack of professionalism from a hostess staff in my years, it is a shame because our server (Alan) again was incredible! For the cost of this meal the least one can expect is to be greeted with kindness and respect, but unfortunately was not the which is disappointing.

   A birthday get together was going on in the main dining area where we were sitting by the fireplace. A party of 8 My suggestion for the future is to put a birthday party in a more open area where the sound doesn’t travel so badly! This area is too small go that reservation! My husband and I couldn’t even talk.😩

   We hadn’t been to The Anchor in a while. As a former Anchorage resident, I love the location, but this time our visit was not great. It may be because it was the evening after NYE, but the ambiance needs some work (lights too bright and tables too close). Bartender is great and very knowledgeable, staff was kind, but it just felt like they need to improve the food and overall vibe in dining room.

    Will not do New Year’s Eve there again. The 2 of us were stuck on the bottom floor next to the constantly opening door. We asked to get moved & couple next to us chimed in & so they moved. After quite a bit of back & forth we were finally moved & happened to get a tiny heater next to us and after that all was ok. Waitress did her best. Food excellent as always.

    We had the specials which were steak and sea bass, both excellent but might have chosen different if the prices were revealed. Steak was $90 and would of chosen the house filet if I would of known.

    I loved our experience at The Village Anchor. Our waitress was so helpful and made our drinks personally. We loved the banana pudding dessert too! My husband got the hotter brown and loved that as well. We will definitely be returning for more date nights here in the future.

    Wine samples with their new offerings. Half price bottles on Wednesday’s. The salmon risotto has been a classic for years and it still hits everytime. One of our faves we keep coming back to! Service was excellent. Value and taste were 10/10.

    I wish I could remember our waitress name. She was absolutely incredible. The food I had wasn't really special as far as Salmon, but I had just returned from Boston in fairness. Seafood there is fresher. But the atmosphere and the waitress were amazing. Also the Anchorade drink she brought with just a hint what I wanted was great!

    The outdoor dining is just not a good experience. It’s either too hot or too cold. The atmosphere and ambiance is not good outside seating. And they have tables inside but never ask if you would like to set inside. And the menu needs some work. Just very mediocre.

    This was our 2nd year going to The Village Anchor for our family Christmas dinner. We were a party of 12 and the kids (teens) had their own table this year, which was a wonderful experience for them and a great break for the adults, too! The service was exceptional and so was the food. We will definitely choose the Anchor again next year!

    It was fantastic as it always is when we go! Service from the hostess to our waitress was great! Food and cocktails were outstanding, as well. The only negative that I can think of is that the green chili wontons had very little filling.

    My experience was a nightmare. I had only been to Village Anchor once for lunch and sat in the main diningroom upstairs. This time, our reserved table was downstairs. I have recently moved to Ky from Colorado. I’ve never been to a restaurant where one is expected to go downstairs to get to a table. I’m sure it’s commonplace at your restaurant, but it makes assumptions as to the customers physical condition that are inappropriate. Secondly, when my sister said she could not do stairs, we were walked into a room with many windows that had a ventilation/heat system barreling directly overhead. I don’t understand how we are supposed to dine with industrial grade noise droning throughout. After my husband drove my sister around to the lower level, we were seated at our reserved “quiet” table which was unbelievably next to the ice machine. An employee came to the machine twice during our dinner to repeatedly dig into and break up semi solid ice and dump it loudly into a bucket about ten times each time. Lastly, I ordered a diet coke and captain Morgan. Rather than telling me you don’t have captain Morgan, I was served plain rum. Very very annoying. I shouldn’t have even paid for the drink but not wanting to create a stir I just accepted the drink. If this is the best you can do, and how you put your best foot forward, no matter how good the food and service are, I will seek out other restaurants. Very very disappointed.
