village anchor and sea hag pub

$1 mimosas for sunday brunch!

must try in louisville. we ate here today with 4 coworkers while looking at office space in louisville! the weather was perfect so we sat outside and it was amazing!! i had the gyro and was so tasty!! others had the ahi tuna salad and said it was amazing & the soups were delicious! must try the potato soup with blue cheese! next time i'm there.....i'm definitely going to try the banana pudding.....it sounds amazing!!

i adore this restaurant!. i went here on valentine's day with my boyfriend and it's definitely one of the best restaurants that i have been to here in louisville. for starters, the atmosphere of this place is top notch! very intimate and romantic. i love the paintings on the ceiling and the wood details. we started off with their sweet potato fries. which were incredible. they're dusted in a rosemary salt and serves with cinnamon marshmallow cream and bourbon barbecue sauce. it sounds like a strange combination but, oh my god. it's so good. we also tried their green chile wontons, which were delightful, creamy, melty, spicy and savory. the avocado aioli is luscious. for our entrees we tried their hotter brown and their pot pie. the hotter brown was very unique, it was a stuffing and was made with chicken instead of turkey. i actually preferred it over the real thing. the sauce was great and the dish was delicious, it's definitely comfort food. their pot pie was amazing, you can taste that it's made from scratch. even the puff pastry on top (i'm a baking and pastry student in culinary school, i know the difference!). the meal was great and i will definitely be returning. the only thing that was disappointing to me was the desserts, wasn't a fan of the ice creams or the cheesecake but that's simply personal preference, the quality was still great though. amazing place! highly recommended!

wonderful versus "terrible". once again, my family and i had a wonderful experience at the village anchor for dinner this week. my husband and i have shared many lovely experiences and meals at what became our favorite restaurant in the louisville area the first time we ate there. these days, it seems no matter where you go out to eat, no matter how good some aspects of the encounter may be, there are often negatives....we've been places where the food is very good but the servers are rude or indifferent, or the atmosphere is not the best, etc. however at every trip to the village anchor, whether we've been seated in the restaurant, out on the lanai, down in the pub, out on the patio, regardless at each encounter, the staff's service has been outstanding, the food has been amazing every time. the atmosphere is friendly, astheically warm and fun. my husband and i have taken our grandchildren (5 and 8) there with us on several occasions...i will admit the first time, i wondered if that would be a good fit but any concerns i had were quickly gone...staff were so sweet to them and both kids "scarfed" the food with my grandson telling me this is "the best!"...who wouldn't love the sweet potato fries and marshmallow dipping sauc? of course very soon after we started going to the village anchor, it became very clear that because their food and service are so amazing, the result is that they stay very busy so we always call ahead or make online reservations to enhance our experience. we recommend this restaurant at every opportunity. what we tell folks is...if you can't decide what to get...just close your eyes and put your finger down on the menu...no matter where it hits....you are going to love it because we always try something new and everything we've ever gotten there is big portions and wonderful to eat. everyone from the servers, managers, bartenders, even the owner who we've met and spoken with several times were kind, cordial, funny, just so pleasant...refreshing to have an all around, wonderful experience... my favorite choices from the menu are the deviled egg appetizer; stilton potato soup, tblt&a; filet; shrimp and grits; fish tacos; well, you get the idea! i read the "terrible" review below and think that perhaps the author of that review might benefit from a little protein intake, i hear that fish is "brainfood", or if not, have an order of sweet potato fries and marshmallow dipping sauce...that's vegetarian friendly and might sweeten her up. thanks village anchor and sea hag pub for the great food and service! stacy ethington

awesome night! awesome bourbon selection!. my boyfriend is a bourbon connoisseur, so we love heading to the village anchor on thursdays for their bourbon samples. the atmosphere in their bar is something you just don't find anywhere else! i love sitting near the fireplace there, it's a nice and cozy. its a great place to have some drinks. as a chocoholic, i love, love, love their anchor pie pop! its awesome, you have to try it! i would (and have already!) definitely recommend the village anchor to my friends!

love hot banana pudding meringue!. this cold weather makes me crave comfort food and village anchor's hot banana pudding hits the spot! how do they make that meringue so high? it is so fantastic! every bite is a little bite of heaven. when you dine here don't leave without trying. there's plenty to share so you don't have to make this your guilty pleasure. ;) love the ambiance and vibe of this place. i will be back!

excellent spot!. my wife and i love to walk the anchorage trail and then eat at the village anchor; it makes for the perfect date night. we recently had a daughter and were hesitant to bring her to the restaurant with us, but have found the staff to be exceptionally accommodating. it doesn't seem to matter which server we have- alan, nance, angela..etc they are all wonderful.
i recommend the meatloaf burger or the shrimp and grits.

awesome food! the scallops make ladies clothes fly off. word.

yes and no. i love the anchor for dinner; as good as any place in town for lunch, forget about it. the lunch menu is uninspiring and the food is likewise.

great!. i recently had dinner at the village anchor for the first time, and i must say that it was an excellent dining experience. this restaurant has a great atmosphere, friendly servers, and the food is just out of this world! the apricot bourbon pork was absolutely delicious. i will be back!

new $$$$ boring lunch menu. took a work group to the village anchor for lunch. the service was impeccable as always but food was so so. a $15 chicken wrap and a $12 gyro that any fast food restuarant could turn out.. no appetizer other than greasy sweeet potato fries. they must not have a chef for lunch...just a bunch of fry cooks. please hire a chef with a little creativity....i'll see you this summer....no need to freeze on the porch for the current hum drum fare.

tomato bisque and meatloaf sandwich. this tomato bisque and meatloaf sandwich was amazing, i would definitely recommend it, and who doesn't love french fries! job well done, as usual.

first time eating here. my first time eating here was last saturday and it was really good! i work for universal linen and we provide their napery and some other services for them! their place settings looked great and i love that they use red napkins. i ordered the sweet potato fries, which were perfectly crispy, and i had the french onion soup as well. the soup was great and i will definitely go back to the village anchor as often as i can.

great spot! hard to find something that isn't delicious on the movie. went to brunch with a group of friends and the service and food was great along with an awesome $1 mimosa special

my favorite restaurant in louisville!. yes, the viillage anchor is my husband's and my favorite restaurant in louisville. and we eat out a lot and don't even live anywhere near anchorage. why are we such big fans? 1.) the atmosphere on the covered outside patio (they call it "the lanai".) is sublime. we love kicking back there as a couple and have had so many fun evenings there enjoying time with friends. 2.) the food is wonderful. check out the menu online and realize that no matter how appealing things sound, they somehow are even better in-person. in a word, this chef is amazing...every time we go, our biggest dilemma is deciding what to order.. and we've very very rarely been disappointed. 3.) there are a wide variety of price points. don't be afraid to pick the less expensive options (e.g. fish tacos, fried chicken, fried bologna sandwich, meatloaf burger) because they're truly out-of-this-world. you might be surprised to find that it's possible to pay shockingly little for a first class meal. and i'm completely comfortable recommending the higher priced "splurge" entrees (rib eye steak, etc.) as well, because they are absolutely phenomenal. whatever your mood and whatever size party, you'll come away happy:)

love this place. one of my favoriate spots for drinks, fun with lots of people.
