We came in at 9:30 on Saturday night. It was a bit crowded but we found two seats and were brought a menu. The menu and website said food served until 11 but we were told the kitchen had closed. I think when the waiter saw our expression he tried to see if there was something that they would still make us so he came back and said that they would make us Dan Dan noodles and their late night fried rice. It was pretty disappointing to have only two choices of what to eat we ordered two drinks and the food it came out pretty promptly but service was a bit off...sat with empty glasses for a while and they never refilled our water. It was not what I expected as a friend of mine who is in the business (mixologist/bar manager) had recommended it.
Not sure if I would go again.
I love this place. It's perfect for a winter escape. The tiki drinks are amazing and the food is on point (Chinese but with some Western additions: try the Dan Dan noodles, ham and cheese sliders, and nachos!)
What a find! Fabulous drinks - delicious and unique food - friendly and efficient staff. We loved Archipelago. (What's not to like about a flaming pineapple?)
Great atmosphere!! Low key, tiki style. Drinks were delicious. Food was excellent. The crab rangoon dip melts in your mouth! I wish the fried chips it came with were a bit less greasy, the dip is so good it could be served with anything!!
I love this place. The food is excellent, the drinks are even better. If you are looking for more of an authentic tiki bar experience, this place is definitely the place to be. The bar tenders are also very well versed in their craft. Archipelago is definitely on the list of places to frequent.
