Relaunching in 2016, The Anchor effortlessly aligned with a revitalized Downtown New Haven, in the vibrant midst of Yale University. The bar and eatery simultaneously honors, embraces, and reflects the City’s economic, social and intellectual diversity—representing a cultural cocktail of town and gown immediacy of a deadline. The Anchor’s new owner, Yale alumnus Karl Franz Williams’ plan is to preserve the best and most recognizable aspects of the restaurant’s former incarnation and create something evocative and timeless.

This was the best meal I’ve had in a long time! The wait staff was attentive without being intrusive, the building is unique and beautiful. It is a bit noisy, but I like that, I think it gives a restaurant life. The maple chicken was amazing. My husband had shrimp and grits and he agreed it was the best meal he’d had in a while. The portions were good sized and we felt the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend the Library and I know if I ever find myself in Wallingford, ct again, this is definitely where I’ll eat!
