We have not been to the Anvil in a while and we definately should go more often. We had the onion soup which was good, but unlike other places had strips of beef in the soup. The chicken florentine was great, but I must say that being from Maryland and known for our crabcakes - Anvil's crabcakes were excellent. One... More

There were some positives. The waitress was pleasant and attentive and we really enjoyed the slots parlor. However, the food was just not very good. The crab cake was thin and the lettuce old looking. The special chicken dish tasted like perfume ( it was tomato fennel).

We wandered inThe Anvil Restaurant Easter night after a long day of driving and were served what I would call the best meal of my life. Every aspect from the rolls to the salad to the luscious scallops to the bronzed vegetables was superb. I ordered a lemon chiffon cake which topped off the meal in fine fashion, making me... More

Our group of six enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere. Several ordered the crab cakes and these were quite good, although we needed to ask for additional hollandaise-type sauce. The Ahi tuna special that evening was wonderful, cooked rare and with tasty accompaniments. Our waitress was pleasant and accommodating, even making separate checks a simple task. We will return.

The food is really good but the smoke is tough to bare. The parkign can also be an issue. Lunch durring the week will be a safe choice. The french onion soup is awesome!

We often times will visit a new restaurant and order the special since it gives it's a good idea of what a chef or restaurant is really about. I will say... More

We chose The Anvil for the menu, a dinner with a variety of choices. Not a real broad selection, but enough to have good choices. Atmosphere was just what we wanted. Ordered the strip steak medium-rare, came out without any red. Have to request bread and water with the meal. Crab ball appetizer was very good and would recommend. Not... More

I would come here even if it wasn't so close to home. The food is great, the people are nice and the atmosphere is terrific. This is a great place to meet fellow locals, eat a fantastic burger (seriously, I don't know what they do differently, but the burgers are great!) and just hang out. Recently, I also booked the...

We had a tasty meal here -- not sure why the rating isn't higher! The shrimp and crab putanesca was great, and our waitress was fantastic.
