    Overall, we were quite disappointed. This is a Michelin recommended restaurant, and the food was just average. We came for lunch and unfortunately, the food was like any main stream chain restaurant. There was nothing special about it. Although the drinks were amazing, they didn’t make up for the unnecessary long wait to get our food. The ambiance overall was overly bright and felt like a cafeteria with the lighting. And the bathroom was dirty. Paper towel on the floor, dirty mirrors and the countertop filled with water. I think that the restaurant has lots of potential, but they are in need of an overhaul and attention to detail in what they feel makes them special.

    I really enjoyed the food and cocktail at Archer. I will say I’m a bit disappointed with the service. The staff charged me $2 for 3 little seaweed crackers when there wasn’t enough on the plate to begin with. Also, I ordered a second drink and it never came. We were there for my friends birthday so it was a little underwhelming.

    Came here for a lunch meeting. Great ambiance for both lunch meetings and get together with friends. Food was excellent. I had the lunch special brisket sandwich and beer which was excellent. The fries were also delicious.

    Delicious food, wonderful mocktails, overall a great experience. Would be very expensive without dine out Vancouver, so I’m very glad we were able to take advantage of it to try!

    I have previously been for brunch twice and had no issues. However, I would not recommend the dine out. There was a lack of communication about the 90 minute table time for a group of 4 until we were being rushed to eat our entrees and desserts. The food was okay, but had small portions and were also inconsistently sized. My friends and I had the short ribs and they were varying sizes across different plates. Overall, it was a mediocre experience made worse by the unclear time limit on the table.
