Awesome service and delicious food in a beautiful restaurant. The food presentation is beautiful and is served promptly. I highly recommend the scallops and if available the, uni. The brussel sprouts are addictive. I will have the lamb on my next visit. For desert, the Green Tea Opera is outstanding! Don’t miss this gem in Vancouver!

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.
