    Perfect place for a stylish intimate meal with friends. We had a birthday brunch here on the weekend and really enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated for the holidays, grey cup attendees were out in full force, but it was still a relaxed atmosphere and servers were super friendly and prompt. There’s nothing I hate worse than a restaurant that’s too loud for conversation but this was lovely and we had a great time. Will be back for sure!

    Disappointed is an understatement. As a Michelin recommended restaurant the ambiance was very poor, it was cold and very bright, not welcoming and poorly designed. The service was okay but rather slow. And then food was generally a hit or miss. Over all, extremely overpriced for the quality of the space and food.

    This was my second time at Archer. The services was great as was the ambience. The octopus was fantastic as was my friend's scallops. We both had the pork collar which was also very good. Definitely will return

    Wonderful experience, food was excellent, service top notch and enjoyed the ambience. We did the early prix fixe dinner and felt it was great value, portion sizes were generous and all the three courses absolutely delicious. Our server Tracy was wonderful - pleasant, professional and capable. We sat at a table near the entrance and our only small issue was that it was a bit chilly with the front door opening and the chilly evening air coming in, however really a small issue. Very enjoyable evening.
    ArcherResponded on November 14, 2024
    Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the prix fixe dinner, generous portions, and delicious courses, as well as the welcoming ambiance. Tracy will be thrilled to know her service made such a positive impact on your evening. We appreciate your feedback about the table near the entrance; we’ll look into making that area more comfortable on chilly nights. Looking forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful evening!

    We had a lovely brunch there. The mushroom toast and the nicoise salad were delicious!! We had attentive service. which was friendly and professionnel. The mimosas (both gratefruit and lichi) were yummy and served in proper champagne flutes! The wines by the glass are perfect for food pairing. Well done! This is the perfect place to go to enjoy a great meal and a visit with your friends!
