Visiting the city on a sunny Saturday morning and decided to get some lunch. Wonderful use of existing space and history. Our server was very polite, helpful and attentive. This place has a wonderful menu. My wife had the Short Rib Mushroom Melt with a Dill Pasta side. I had the Philadelphia Cheese Steak sandwich with fries. The sandwich was on their brick oven bread and absolutely sent the sandwich to another dimension with flavor. I would have preferred the onions and peppers cut into smaller pieces but only so they could be incorporated more into the flavor of each bite. It was still one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. The aioli was really good. Nice, smooth and rich. We will definitely be going back to try other things.
What a great experience having lunch here with friends, like being in a different world or place. Easily Germany or France. Food was great and the prices amazing for the atmosphere and the service.
Fantastic ambiance and delicious plates. This place is fantastic and I’m excited to try more of their menu. The only hiccup is that the gluten free lava cake wasn’t exactly all that tasty. But everything else was top notch!
Great environment and very friendly server! The food quality was high and very flavorful! Stone cooked bread was great and the Black and Tan onion rings were flavorful and interestingly had grill marks...

Went to the Anvil for a Birthday meal and I greatly enjoyed going there. The building itself is old but incredibly well kept homely in a pleasant way, cozy and very clean! The service was good and very patient especially considering I has to wait for my other company to arrive, no problems there! The food was excellent, from the shepherd's pie I got, to the duck wantons and even the mozzarella sticks, all was fantastic to me. I loved it at the Anvil, give it a go if you're in the area you won't be disappointed! Pictures are of the inside and outside of the building, the decor, the menu, and the food!
