TheForkUserThe restaurant location is perfect, overlooking picturesque Blue Mountain vistas. The amazing location is well-matched by great food - everything was prepared extremely well and to a high standard. We were particularly impressed by lamb backstrap and tenderloin, the desserts were also great. The ambiance was good - during our dinner we had the pleasure of listening to live piano music during our dinner. The service was great also, the waiter was quick to offer suggestions and answer all of our questions. Our only and slight issue was the seating. Despite requesting a table near the window during booking, we were placed in the middle of the room. It would be great if the restaurant could notify in advance whether window table seating is available.
TheForkUserI booked a table through thefork but arrived to find there was no table reserved for us. Fortunately there were lots of tables available and the food was good as usual. The Archibald is in a great location, with views, out to the city, and the atmosphere is inviting. My only concern is the booking system doesn’t work.
TheForkUserWow! What a great evening to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We were served with a carefully crafted unique 5 course menu with great wine. A personal touch from the owner made it very special for us, and it didn’t even break the bank! We’ve already made plans to go again. Highly, highly recommended!!
TheForkUserA great afternoon in the sun on Miss Lilian’s outdoor balcony. Excellent food, cocktails and superb service from all the staff. Highly recommended!
TheForkUserThe hostess was very attentive, she was most helpful sorting out a dietary issue, the students were well trained and helpful
TheForkUserThe restaurant is nice, the food is great however we were being limited to have the meal time to 1.5hrs which is a bit short.
TheForkUserLOVE LOVE LOVE this place, not overcrowded like some restaurants, nice ambience, friendly people, you could talk to each other without yelling ( some restaurants are very noisy - this one isn't ) Food was exquisite - and we just wanted more - we will be definitely be going back
