This has been my favorite place for many years. Alex and his staff never disappoint. Yesterdays dinner was a VIP experience, where chef created a festival of flavors for us. My taste buds were exploding with every bite. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will be back with other set of my friends to enjoy this place again.

We went for brunch and it was amazing! I got the shrimp omelet and also tried the sour cream pancakes. The shrimp omelet was perfection! Sour cream pancakes were fluffy, with a bit of a chewiness. Also had virgin bloody mary’s — they were very good! A touch of horseradish, nicely balanced, not too much heat. I’d love to come back and see what they do for dinner.

Leaving this review as I am a bit baffled by all of the positive reviews. I will give Archie's this: There are a select few items on the menu that are good. The occasional good food is far outweighed by the below issues:The restaurant is rarely open. There is seemingly no need to maintain anything close to regular business hours. Between frequent "private parties " (aka dinners with friends), prolonged and non-sensical holiday closures, and I suppose just the feeling of "I don't want to be open today" -- good luck actually eating at this establishment.If the restaurant does happen to be open, be prepared for extremely unprofessional service. I am assuming the staff is also part of the friend group and therefore has no motivation to uphold any standards of service or professionalism.Also, be prepared to be given attitude when you ask if your steak can be served at the temperature you ordered. I had to send mine back three times (very politely) and was essentially told to eff off.Finally, the pricing.......... Kudos to them for getting a liquor license, but pushing $20 cocktails in City Island is not it. The area is charming, for sure - but it is not a downtown Manhattan hotspot. It is jsut a ripoff of the highest degree.In all, I would categorize Archie's as more of a private club for the owner's buddies than an actual business.EDITOR'S NOTE: I don't need to post a picture of my check when you list your drink prices on the website.....

Everything we had was tasty and the portions were generous. The service was great and the spot was so cute! Will definitely be bringing my friends here!
Archie’s Tap is absolutely fantastic! I heard about this hidden gem for some time now , but haven’t gone until last night. We had the pleasure of being meeting the amazing chef Alex, and he is so welcoming, you feel like you’re dining with your best friend !The staff is phenomenal! Jorge was our server, and his friendliness and warm greeting definitely impacted our dining experience. We had a few delectable appetizers! Blistering Shisito peppers ?️ are amazing, also had the Tuna Tartar definitely one of the best flavors I have ever had. We also had the burger , superior quality !! And the Detroit Pizza .. omg A M A Z I NG!! I would come here again, and again a million times. Definitely worth a visit, and don’t forget the amazing selection of rare find liquors and top shelf liquor. I had the El Chapo it was THE BOMB ! Love the entire experience THANK YOU ALEX AND and Staff for a wonderful Saturday Night!! As Arnold Schwarzenegger says “We’ll BE BACK”!
