(由 Google 翻译)多年来,我从未听说过安克雷奇。因此,当有人建议在那里见面吃晚饭时,我不得不去看看它在哪里。它位于埃迪维尔 Rt213 旁的一条漂亮的小路上,是一个相当私密的地方,可以享受一顿饭或只是喝一杯。
所以我们在2023年2月的一个周末晚上在那里见面。我们估计冬天划船和露营的人不多,所以可能会更安静。但为了不冒险,我们有所保留。
我们首先在酒吧见面,那里有漂亮的乡村装饰。我喜欢在天花板附近排列安装的啤酒龙头的展示。当我们到达时,酒吧有一两个空位。但我们一行人却在餐桌上喝了一杯。墙上安装了一个自动点唱机,看起来就像一个无水箱热水器。所以它与当时的老罗科拉相差甚远。每首歌的成本也高得多。我们没有在酒吧点饮料,因为我们的朋友已经喝完了。所以我们就等着坐下来。
然后我们走进餐厅。它也有一种古老的乡村感觉。大概有十几张桌子。但它也有一架钢琴和一张躺椅。我们不确定躺椅的用途,但也许只是为了给人一种温馨的感觉。
我们一点也不着急,这很好。我们入座时只有一张桌子。第三张桌子就在我们后面。随着时间的推移,又多了几个。餐厅里只有一名女服务员。她人很好。
我们和我们的餐厅一起点了一轮饮料。虽然它原来是餐前饮料。我们喝完一杯后点了水,然后我们的朋友点了水。我们还有足够的时间让我的淡啤酒消散。正如我在其他评论中读到的那样,这里的事情进展得相当缓慢。因此,我们的饮料花了很长时间才出来。然后又花了半个小时汤和沙拉才出来。然后又过了好一会儿,晚餐才出来。但我们对此很满意,因为它让我们有时间交谈并享受我们朋友的陪伴。总而言之,我们在那里呆了三个多小时。但公平地说,最后半个小时左右我们一直在聊天,因为其他人开始离开,而且似乎没有其他人进来,因为关门时间已经不远了。
食物很好。我们中的一些人真的很喜欢它。其他人则觉得还可以,但并没有太特别。但没有人觉得这不好。我们没有点甜点,因为我们已经吃饱了。支票附有一轮饮料,然后是水。再加上我们的餐点没有开胃菜或甜点。加上小费,差不多每人50美元。这绝对比我预期的要贵。但情况并非如此,该地区似乎到处都是这样,包括连锁店和快餐店。
总而言之,我发现安克雷奇是一家温馨有家的感觉的餐厅,让我们可以与朋友一起享用一顿丰盛的长餐,我们非常喜欢它的各个方面。在繁忙的夏季,这里会如此舒适吗?可能不会。但到目前为止,我们吃了一顿美餐,对安克雷奇酒店的第一印象也很好。

For years, I had never heard of the Anchorage. So when it was suggested to meet there for dinner, I had to look to see where it was. It being on a nice side road off of Rt213 in Eddyville makes for a fairly private place to enjoy a meal or just a drink.
So we met there on a weekend night in February, 2023. We figured that not many people will be boating and camping in winter, so it would probably be quieter. But to not take chances, we had reservations.
We met in the bar first which had a nice country decor. I liked the display of beer taps mounted in array near the ceiling. The bar had a seat or two available when we arrived. But our group had a drink at a table instead. It had a jukebox mounted on the wall that looked like a tankless water heater. So it was a far cry from the old Rockola's from back in the day. It also costs a whole lot more per song. We didn't order a drink in the bar, as our friends were almost done with theirs. So we waited to be seated instead.
We then proceeded into the dining room. It had an old country feel to it as well. There were probably a dozen tables or so. But it also had a piano and a recliner as well. We were not sure what the recliner was for, but maybe just to give it that homey feel.
We were in by no means in a hurry, and that was good. There was only one table when we were seated. A third table came in right behind us. Then a couple more as time went on. There was just the one waitress to handle the dining room. She was very nice.
We ordered one round of drinks with our diner. Although it turned out to be a before diner drink. We ordered water after the one drink, and our friends second. We also had plenty of time for my light beer to dissipate. As I read in other reviews, things move pretty slow here. As such it took quite a while for our drinks to come out. Then it took another half hour for the soup and salads to come out. Then it took quite a while more for dinner to come out. But we were fine with it as it gave us time to talk and enjoy our friends company. All in all we were there over three hours. But to be fair, the last half hour or so was us talking since the other folks started to clear out and no one else seemed to be coming in since closing time wasn't far off.
The food was good. Some of us really liked it. Others felt it was okay, but not overly special. But nobody felt that it wasn't good. We didn't order dessert since we were full enough. The check came with one round of drinks, then water. Plus our meals with no appetizers or desserts. With a good tip, it was almost $50 per person. It was definitely more expensive than I would have expected. But not drastically so, and it seems to be like that everywhere in this area, including chain and fast food restaurants.
All in all, I found The Anchorage to be a nice homey feeling restaurant that allowed us to have a nice long meal with friends, that we pretty much enjoyed all aspects of. Would it be so accommodating in the busier summer months, probably not. But so far we had a nice meal and a nice first impression of The Anchorage.
