The Archer

Pros: extremely friendly staff. Beef schnitzel: $22 cooked well. Diane sauce seemed lacking a bit of cream Steak sandwich: $23 delicious & hearty with all the trimmings. Ciabatta was warm which is a plus. Scotch fillet steak: $35 well seasoned….a little over salted (a touch). Ordered rare but decided blue. Didn’t complain as we can stomach it but others may be complaining about it. We prefer underdone than over done, but considering price, chef really should be bang on. Gravy seemed like a jus, tasty but not thick enough to grab onto the steak Kids cheeseburger: $9 tasty, well portioned but lacking a little salad.

Love the old building and the layout inside. We enjoyed sitting in one of the booths admiring paintings on the wall which were for sale. It was a fairly quiet time of the day, not many customers at the time we were there yet it took half an hour for the food to come out after ordering. My husband had to leave for an appointment before the food arrived so I took his food home in a take away tray which ended up going in the bin as it was soggy by the time we got there. I was surprised that when ordering a Caesar salad, I was asked if I wanted to pay extra for chicken which I did not as I have always received chicken with my Caesar salad everywhere else that I’ve ordered it. The price of a cranberry juice was quite steep too- $6.40 for one glass! The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Service was quick and friendly. Meals came out without having to wait for too long especially with time limits on car parking in the area. My Pork Belly was delicious. Decent serving size cooked just right. My Wife had the Chicken Parmi was a good size again but she thought it was a bit bland lacking flavour. Keen to try the other things on the menu when we come next time.
