Honestly it was a good experience. They have a really amazing happy hour menu and I think the value was really strong. We ordered the carrots, meatballs, burger, and I had a glass of happy hour red wine. My fav was the meatballs and wine. Service was really good!

This is the third time I’ve dined at Archer. I initially came for the gorgeous interior design I saw on instagram. The cocktails and food turned out to be spectacular as well. The staff couldn’t be more accommodating, professional and warm. It’s an all around epic experience. I highly recommend coming for a special occasion or just when you feel like elevating your day.

The restaurant had a casual setting. We went there for the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner buffets. The buffet had lots of options to fit everybody’s tastes. The food was excellent and the service was as well. Prices were very reasonable.
