About
Anchoragenoun | an·chor·age | \ˈaŋ-k(ə-)rij\ : something that provides a strong hold or connection. Located in the heart of the Village of West Greenville, The Anchorage is a casual neighborhood restaurant focused on serving our local community thoughtfully prepared small plates, craft cocktails & beer, and sustainable wine. |  |
Our goal is to provide a meeting place perfect for anything from a special occasion to a quick dinner before heading home. Our menu is eclectic but with a clear focus on showcasing simple ingredients sourced both locally and from around the region. Our hope is that by working hand in hand with our producers, artisans, and local craftsmen we can offer a unique dining experience with a few surprises and a genuine sense of hospitality.
In 2018 The James Beard Foundation recognized the restaurant as a Semi-Finalist for Best New Restaurant. The Anchorage was also a Semi-Finalist Nominee from The World Restaurant Awards for their “No Reservations Required” category.
