About The Anchor Line
At 12, 16 St Vincent Place in Glasgow, The Anchor Line is a bar & grill set in the former first class booking offices. The menu draws on Scottish produce, with steak in blue cheese sauce and a fillet steak served with hand cut chips and brandy and peppercorn sauce, followed by mango cheesecake and sorbet for dessert. The bar area pours cocktails such as the Marilyn Monroe alongside alcohol-free options, and table service extends there as well as to the dining room. Guests are greeted and seated on arrival, and jackets are taken at the door. The room operates on a walk-in basis. Private dining rooms are available for events including weddings.

Customer Review Summary
Steak draws the most praise, with diners singling out the fillet with hand cut chips and brandy and peppercorn sauce, and a steak with blue cheese sauce that one reviewer calls the best they have had. Close behind are the cocktails and the alcohol free drinks, which one reviewer says show real thought beyond juices and syrups, along with desserts like mango cheesecake and sorbet. Reviewers repeatedly describe the service as attentive and professional, and the building and ambience as beautiful. One couple booked a private dining room for a wedding lunch and reports compliments from guests on the food. The recurring complaint is portion size: two reviewers wish some dishes, including the starters, were bigger, though one accepts it as part of the food styling. One reviewer also praises a curry and a Persian salad. Staff took guests' jackets on arrival, and one waitress helped a birthday party find another spot to keep drinking after their time slot ended.

“We recently booked one of the private dining rooms for our wedding lunch, and couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. Planning the event was a breeze, Luke in the events planning team was so helpful and made everything a so easy, catering for some specific requests that we were incredibly grateful for. The room itself was beautiful, it was the perfect setting for the event. The food was absolutely fantastic, we had so many complements from our guests and the staff were so kind, helpful and made the whole day extra special. Thanks so much again to all the team, we really appreciate it.”

“An amazing meal, we had the fillet steak with hand cut chips, brandy & peppercorn sauce with a side of broccoli followed by sorbet and mango cheesecake accompanied with a beautiful Portuguese red wine. Steak was cooked to perfection, overall 10/10. Staff are friendly and welcoming with a great relaxing atmosphere in the restaurant.”
