    Avocado toast with over easy eggs
    Ron R.

    I like the look and style of the dining space. The service started out extremely slow. To the point we were not sure we existed. It got better. We ordered the omelette with chicken sausage, bacon, and Swiss 3/5 (chicken sausage very good just overcooked). It came with potatoes 3/5. Avocado toast with over easy eggs 3/5. The coffee 4.5/5.

    I'll mark this as a hidden gem. I actually don't really want to tell you about it, because I want to save it as a hideout for my friends and me ... but it's only fair to give Archer's credit for their tasty wares and fares. A small restaurant attached to a boutique hotel, this isn't what you might expect from "hotel dining". They don't offer a happy hour but we went during the happy hour to dinner time and had no problem getting a table for 7. Archer's Kitchen offers indoor and outdoor seating with powerful heaters for the patio. For these wonderful PNW summers, they're restaurant walls open completely onto the patio allowing fresh air into the restaurant and lobby area of the hotel. Their food menu is smaller than a stand-alone restaurant, but their bar menu would rival local Eastside hot spots. If you're in town for short stay or a local looking for something new, I'd recommend trying Archer's Kitchen.

    First, this place knows service. Folks that work here want to serve you. We stayed at the hotel and had dinner in Kirkland. On our way back we got cakes and pastries from the bakery. And then came and sat here. We ordered tea and the moment we did that, servers didn't care if we ordered food there or not. They brought us water, cutlery etc. everything that we needed. And the place is extremely nicely decorated. Just an awesome experience.

    Breakfast sandwich

    Great space with high ceiling texturized wall coverings and gorgeous ceiling work. Bfast sandwich was amazing, with the sweet and juicy tomato offsetting the cheesy eggs. Minus a star for broken espresso machine as the coffee was pretty sour. Limited menu for lunch so this is a good bfast and happy hour place

    Korean sauce wings

    We came here on a weeknight, and was sadly disappointed by the atmosphere and the food. The service was also very brusque, as if the server couldn't wait to get you out of there. The large garage doors in the space were opened from the bottom, leading the whole space to feel drafty and the lights were barely on (we initially thought they would be closed when walking up). Overall atmosphere and service were what contributed to most of three stars. We tried to order the special that night, which was some kind of beef entree, since there were very few "dinner entree" type food (mostly appetizers and sandwiches). They ended up being out of the beef entree, and so I ended up ordering wings off of the appetizer menu. The wings came with only 1 flat piece and the rest were oversized and tough drumsticks, so felt like there were quality control issues. The NY strip steak on my husband's grain bowl was actually decent, if only they would serve it by itself. Overall, really thought the pictures looked lovely, but the food/atmosphere did not live up. If you're staying at the hotel though, probably worthwhile to stop by for a drink in the lobby.

    Seared ahi

    Pretty solid selection of food for a decent price. Was a guest here, unsure if anyone can come in. Ordered the Brussel sprouts, which comes with Parmesan and bacon, the seared ahi, and the chicken sausage tuna. If I had to pick only one, I would go for the seared ahi. Flatbread was not my favorite and would t order it again. Would def order the Brussels sprouts again, good keto dish as well!

I wasn't feeling like a big entree but I put together a fun little meal out of their falafel bites and tomato soup- both were really good. I appreciated that the service folks made sure I got some extra toasted bread with my soup. A coworker got the buttermilk fried chicken and it was an impressive serving. Also loved the extensive selection of whiskey, cocktails, and non alcoholic cocktails. Non alcoholic options really allow anyone to relax with a drink. But not me I had woodinville rye whiskey because it's a local fav. OH! They sell hotdogs here and that's awesome cause it's hard to find a good hotdog place- and these hotdogs are made of freakin waygu beef.

It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

I opted for their mezcal cocktail while my homegirl got a s'more's type martini I think. Their menu also offers food and wine, but we opted to just try some drinks and bounce. Overall, a cool place to try out.

Safe to say that everyone loved it and now I'm getting ready to book another party after multiple requests. The food is 7/10 - I loved the fried pickles and I had a couple wings which were good, but I'd try something different next time. Others ordered sandwiches and other sides and seemed to like them. The service was great as the KJ got all our names added to the karaoke list before he even got his set-up running. We also had a great server (I forgot his name - so sorry!!! I think it might have been Ian??) who started us off with a couple food orders and our initial drink order. The expectation was set for us that we would get a better experience going to the bar whenever we want another drink/add more food to our tabs. I love that they were honest about this from the get-go because it gets CRAZY crowded on a Saturday night and our tables were adjacent to the dance floor. Excellent people-watching entertainment. Karaoke starts at 8pm, our party got there at 7pm. Karaoke process here is that the KJ puts your name on a list, you give him your song when it's your turn, your name stays on the rotation until you tell him you're done. There are A LOT of names in the rotation. I sang my first song at 8:15 and my second song after midnight, everyone in between only sang once. Get there early if you want to sing early.
