The restaurant and bar at 1109 E. Douglas is undergoing some changes. Among them:
1. Hours: As owner Schane Gross and chef Douglas Pitts work to resolve service issues and decide what they want The Anchor to be, they've temporarily altered the hours. They had been closed on Mondays and Sundays, but now they've reopened on Mondays. Sunday hours will return eventually, and Pitts will serve a Sunday-only brunch. Look for that in the next six weeks or so. Current hours are 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday. The kitchen closes at 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and at 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
2. Menu: Several weeks ago, Gross and Pitts streamlined the previous menu, keeping customer favorites and eliminating what they described as "redundancy." On June 27, Pitts will add daily dinner items to the menu, including a steak frites. He also will begin offering a streamlined after-10 p.m. bar menu, which will feature appetizers and a couple of burgers.
3. Remodel: Gross has changed her plans from when she originally announced last year. The wall separating her two dining rooms will remain, she said. The west side of the restaurant will lose its bar and serve exclusively as a dining room. The east side will be the bar area. Though she doesn't have specific dates yet, Gross hopes the remodel will be under way before summer's over. She still plans to annex the space just east of the building for a banquet hall.
