I'm surprised I've never written a review for this place considering how often I come here. It's easily one of my favorite neighborhood spots in Harlem. The vibe is chill, relaxed, and very neighborhood-friendly. Even when it's busy, it never feels overwhelming, and they're usually very accommodating with walk-ins. The service is also some of the best I've experienced in Harlem. My go-to is the roasted duck, which is consistently excellent. It's cooked medium to medium-rare and comes with mango, onions, vegetables, and greens. Easily one of my favorite dishes in the neighborhood. The drinks are great too. I recently had the Nas, their take on a Manhattan, and it was incredibly smooth--one of the best whiskey cocktails I've had in a while. Overall, 10/10. A hidden gem on Lenox between 119th and 120th and definitely one of the best spots in Harlem. read more

Came in for NY Restaurant week! Ordered the Sage Knees and the Crime of Passion for our drinks (both were enjoyed). We both had Brussel Sprouts, good, but the bites without the sauce did taste like bland Brussel sprouts. I had the lamb ribs, very good. They do warn you before that the ribs have a bit of fat on them, I think in the context of NY restaurant week I'm happy to pay it but as a solo entree, the amount of fat vs meat would have annoyed me. My friend had the duck, she enjoyed it. But it is very much salad with a side of duck, I believe she had 6 pieces of duck (pictured) and then a mango, arugula and onion salad. Dessert was very good, but I do hope those are not the usual portion sizes and maybe they just served smaller for NY restaurant week. Which I really didn't mind as I was full from the entree and sprouts. Servers were really nice, this place seems to have its regulars and a nice garden sitting area towards the back. Would overall recommend read more

I don't even know where to begin. From the moment you walk in, the staff sets the tone--warm, attentive, and deeply intentional. There's a camaraderie in the room that invites you to slow down, connect, and truly experience both the conversation and the food. Everything feels considered. My best friend and I each ordered the prix fixe menu, and it was a journey from start to finish. I began with the Spicy Corn & Coconut Soup--honestly, unforgettable. The crispy shallots added just the right amount of texture against the velvety base, and each spoonful layered flavor in a way that felt both comforting and elevated. For my main, I had the kichuri, and Chef Alex Guzman absolutely shines here. He is a star--full stop. There's a clarity and confidence in his cooking that you can taste. The cilantro chutney was perfection, and the way the mint lingers alongside the spice... it's the kind of balance that only comes from someone who truly understands their craft. You can feel his care in every bite. I ended with the key lime pie, and all I can say is thank you. The whipped cream was fresh and airy, the lime zest bright without overpowering, and the crust tied everything together beautifully. It felt like a thoughtful, intentional close to an already incredible meal. I highly recommend starting with the guava mocktail, then pairing your main with the fig mocktail--both are perfectly crafted and complement the dishes so well. Also, sit at the bar. Let Dan guide you through the experience. Trust his recommendations--you will not be steered wrong. He elevates the entire evening. And the playlist? Y'all really did that. read more

Loved the service, but felt the food was a miss. We had the French toast, hot chicken sandwich, and the burger. The French toast has a tangy flavor due to turmeric, the orange marmalade they include helped to sweeten it, but it just felt like a lot of work for a dish that would have been better served the traditional way. The hot chicken sandwich was pretty good, but we've had better. The burger was just OK. They don't have American or cheddar and only serve it with queso. I don't think queso is a great cheese for a burger. The fries were fantastic. read more

Food. 10. Ambiance 8. Service 10. A new favorite brunch spot in Harlem. If you're tired of the same flavors...come to Archer & Goat. Lamb Hash and French toast with fresh squeezed OJ before the opera. Couldn't ask for more. read more

From the second you walk into archer & Goat, you know you're in for an incredible treat. The restaurant itself is incredibly small, but there is outdoor covered seating that's heated. The menu changes in a spectacular. Everything ordered was delicious. I wasn't super hungry to order the roasted cauliflower and could have eaten two more plates. The portions are great for the price and the service is impeccable. Highly recommend. read more

Got the prix menu, it was absolutely what I was looking for. I got the corn and coconut soup, the favors were well balanced, I absolutely loved the fried onions and some pickled red peppers that were a lovely touch to the sweetness and savory. Then I had carne asada with tostones, I will be coming back for this. Perfect! Sure I did not choose the medium rare as the chef suggests but medium was more than fine, the arugula with steak is always a favorite, but that mojito with the tostones was truly perfection! At least in my opinion. I got the date cake, it took longer than I anticipated, and honestly... too sweet. The orange garnish was a great addition but I kept feeling like there should have been more to cut the sweetness. Nevertheless, that won't keep me from coming back. Staff was attentive and nice, I sat in the corner and I loved it. It's a pretty cool restaurant with great artwork, I wonder if that artwork is for sale. When it's warmer, I might go to the backyard area... read more

Found this spot on a rainy day in Ny. It was cozy and friendly inside. I will say it's hard to find but it's worth finding. Signage outside is hidden. Now for the food. We ordered the spice French toast and the hot chicken sandwich. The French toast was a delightful bite of fall. The flavors blended well and the crunch from the pistachios were a great addition. The hit chicken sandwich with pickled strawberries was surprisingly delicious. The chicken was a hot buffalo masterpiece. Nice and juicy with just the right amount of heat. I will say the pickled strawberries left a weird but good taste in my mouth. Indescribable but good. And the shoestring French fries were nice and crispy. Loved the food and enjoyed the vibe. read more

A good friend was DJ'ing at this Central Harlem spot and I headed over to check him out. Great music throughout the evening. I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted by Leia, an excellent and personable bartender. As I have many years behind the stick I was impressed with her handling of the busy bar and the many speciality drinks. I ordered a cocktail featuring pressed watermelon and mezcal. I then ordered the mushroom arepas, was given the "nice choice" and nod by Leia and they were indeed delicious. As more familiar faces arrived to hear music and enjoy the evening, the kitchen was putting out nice looking dishes. Other patrons were served the lamb ribs and a steak with plantains around me and seemed pleased with their choices. I had a really nice Lambrusco as I winded down. The place is clearly well run, busy and drew a nice crowd. Heading back this week for a proper dinner. Looking forward to trying more of the menu. read more

The place is easy to miss. However, once you locate this establishment it is cozy. We sat on the back patio. The service was helpful and good. We had the Brussels sprouts as a starter and they have a decent amount of garlic, but the Chimichurri is the star. Also ordered the curry shrimp with Tumeric rice and salad entree. The curry had a slight kick, but the rice was nice and fluffy. I really enjoyed it. For desert the key lime tart hit the spot. I had a good size framer cracker crust read more

I've heard about this restaurant for several years and was excited to finally give it a try. They offer a very eclectic mix of Latin American and Asian food. We sat in the garden in the back, which had about a half dozen tables, with a brick building and ivy covered gate accenting one side. We were there during NYC restaurant week, which they generously offer on the weekends, while most restaurants just participate on week days. To start, I had the crispy brussel sprouts. It was an ample portion size. The sprouts were crunchy and well seasoned. The accompanying cilantro sauce was tasty, but a bit too salty. Still, I really enjoyed the texture and flavors. For my main, I had the portobello mushroom asada. I loved that they offered a vegetarian version of this classic dish. Even the waitress remarked how much the mushrooms looked like steak. It was delicious. The mushrooms were juicy and plump. The tostones were thin, crispy, and well-seasoned with salt and pepper. The citrus vinaigrette was quite tangy, so I'm glad it was mostly served on the side. For dessert, I had the tres leches panna cotta. It had the consistency of pudding and was topped with candied pistachios. I didn't care too much for the texture, but some might enjoy it, especially because it was subtlety sweet. I had a bite of my husband's key lime pie and that was quite good, though the slice was small. The waitstaff were very friendly. Absolutely worth checking out. read more

This is a lovely little spot in the heart of Harlem. We were seated in the back, which was a little cramped, but the place was warm and welcoming. I ordered the Carne Asada, which consisted of hanger steak, crispy tostones, arugula, and avocado vinaigrette. The steak was tender, with a slight crunch on the outside, and well seasoned. The Tostones were thin, wonderfully crispy, and lightly salted. Sauce was surprisingly good, given that I'm not a fan of avocado and packed a lot of flavor. For dessert, I had the Warm Date Cake, which was served with warm bourbon caramel sauce and crème fraiche. This was absolutely delicious! The cake was sweet, moist, with an irresistible sticky consistency, as well as full of date flavor. The caramel sauce was delightful, as was the smooth, rich creme. All of this came together perfectly. Service was decent. I would like to return in order try the Lamb Ribs and also to check out their brunch. read more

Our friend is ultra VIP here, so we enjoyed a delicious array of tasty brunch dishes. Creativity-wise, A&G is better than 95% of the boring, overpriced egg brunch spots south of 125th St--but don't tell the plebs that. - Chicken Vindaloo Arepas: Spiced, seasoned and flavorful. Don't skip these. - Langostino & Saffron Pappardelle: Off the dinner menu but available for brunch too. If you like your noodz long, thick and slurpy, get this. - A&G Hot Chicken Sandwich & French Fries: The sauce was a bit too sour-sweet for me, but some people love that flavor profile. Those people will likely love this. Also, pickled strawberries. See what I mean about creativity? - Breakfast Arepas: Classic yet new--hanger steak, cilantro hollandaise and poached organic eggs but with so much more flavor than Euro-leaning restaurants. I'd eat this every day if I could. - Skillet Lamb Hash: More pulled lamb than ground lamb, but mixed with those potatoes, peppers and onions, and you'll be baaaaah-ing with pleasure. Libation-wise, you'll find some unique mocktail AND cocktail creations to suit every palate. The Fig mocktail, for instance, was warm and sweet without being overpowering, while the Guava Mocktail brought the tangy ginger on, and the Hibiscus Ginger mocktail nicely balanced tang with floral notes. South Asian-LatAm fusion FTW! read more

My friend Carlos from Classic Materials NY sometimes hosts events here and since my bestie lives in CT, I suggested meeting up here to make her commute easier. We were blown away by the flavor, concept, and continuity of the dishes. 10/10 from beginning to end. Our servers were friendly, informative and patient with our indecisiveness. Bravo to Chef Alex! I can't wait to go back. read more

Yes, I am giving Archer and Goat a five star review. First of all, I enjoyed the service and ambiance. I thought it was a trendy Harlem restaurant with a cool Latin and South Asian fusion cuisine. They offer some unique dishes. The burger and fries, by the way, were great! I was definitely intrigued by the Sofrito sauce. And those fries were crispy. Yep! I liked them. read more

I adore Harlem. Several years ago, I started my NYC journey here, and all this time later, even when I stray to the LES or the East Village . . . when I really want to feel the soul of New York, I find my way back to Harlem. I was back on this side of town for a jazz show (reviewed separately) and Archer & Goat caught my eye. First of all, I remain completely forlorn that I didn't realize they closed at 9 PM and made a reservation for 8:30 PM. Secondly, despite my multiple apologies, the laid back staff continually told me to relax, chill, to enjoy my meal. As we've said many times before, "spread love, it's the Harlem way." I had the prix fixe menu ($45). The crispy Brussels sprouts were AMAZING! Made with cilantro, chimichurri, and pickled chilis, it was delicious. Maybe some of the best Brussels sprouts I've ever had . . . with an amazing combo of char and spice. I also had the langostino & saffron pappardelle. Please google ingredients beforehand, because I found out that langostino is a tiny form of lobster. Fine for me, but for those with shellfish allergies, could be a disaster! Though I am not a shellfish fan (it just doesn't have flavor for me), I loved the saffron flavor of the pappardelle and enjoyed this decadent pasta dish! I also had the tres leches panna cotta. Made with coconut milk, condensed mile, whole milk, rose water, and candied pistachios--it was light, yet somehow decadent, and easy. I can't wait to visit this spot again, more toward mid-day so I can spend a long European-type lunch/brunch/early dinner time here. They have so may delectable dishes I can't wait to try: arugula salad, grilled cauliflower, chicken vindaloo arepas, portobello mushroom arepas, and a brunch menu. Their drink menu is delightful. I had the knickerbocker: rum, raspberry, lime, orgeat. I also had the "Crime of Passion," tequila, Chinola, passion fruit liqueur, and orgeat. Goat: Tequila, orange, lime, turmeric. Such a great mixup of earthy, herbaceous, refreshing, gently fruity without being lipsmackingly sweet. The staff were just what you'd expect in Harlem . . . they all worked together as a team, were attentive, and just plain rad. read more

I have been here twice now and it is a cute little spot. The staff is really nice and it has a great vibe/ambiance. They have unique items on the menu and the plantain chips are delicious. The downside? A relatively small menu, especially brunch, so if you are a picky eater, you may have trouble finding something you want to eat. The spot is cozy so if you have a larger party it may not be for you. However, it has an outdoor seating area that is pretty big and really nice. I think i prefer dinner than brunch here but I would go back again. Overall, I recommend you stop by, you shouldn't be disappointed. read more

Sometimes a restaurant excels at one thing over another whether that be food, service, ambiance. The Archer & Goat does all these things well! It's an exceptional establishment, one that you would expect from a restaurant. My wife and I visited on a Sunday late afternoon and we sat in the garden section. They have outdoor seating in front as well as the garden. Make reservations regardless. We were greeted as if we were VIP and that service kept up throughout our dinner. Prices are reasonable. The food was delicious! Great place to hang with friends or for date night. Plenty of parking in the area. Highly recommended read more

It was fine. I loved the FOH staff. They really went out of their way to accommodate us. Service was fast, pleasant, and efficient. But the food was only OK. And at these prices it should be excellent. Or at least really good. I had the lamb hash for brunch. Everyone tried it and thought it was meh. I figured I'd still get the yummy lamb taste regardless of whether the meat was shredded. I was wrong. It would probably be better as a "pulled lamb sandwich." The brussel sprouts were really good. But they were nearly the same price as an entree. I don't see a reason to return except for the fact that the bar vibe seemed cool. read more

Great place for brunch with friends. Got a reservation for outside as we had a doggie in tow, awesome that they provided a water bowl for the doggie to chill off. And super understanding when our puppy had a bit too much energy and spilled over waters. Ordered the A&G Hot Chicken Sandwich & French fries, Skillet Lamb Hash and Spiced French Toast. Split between three people. Not disappointed and all were tasty. More than enough for us three and also had the bottomless mimosas. I'd be back w/o doggie to have a more enjoyable experience. read more

Can't wait to go back to A&G! Its a really well designed place with decent music backyard seating, front patio seating, and of course seating for roughly 30+ ppl indoors. The staff were very friendly and accommodating when I visited with some friends for brunch on a weekend. The service was a little bit slow at the beginning but picked up once we put in our drink order. The cocktail menu was full of hits. Its not a super long menu but all the drinks felt well curated and made. The drink sizes are quite small though. They also have a $25 bottomless mimosas option for Brunch. The food menu was really appetizing it was hard to choose something to eat. A mix of Bangladeshi and Latin food is not something I knew I needed, but I am a fan bow. I ended up ordering the roasted duck. I hadnt realized it was a salad. I maybe wouldnt have ordered it. However Im glad I did. It was so well seasoned. Wasn't gamey at all and it was surprisingly filling for me. read more

We had a great time celebrating my friends birthday with brunch here! The food is an unique fusion of Latin American and South Asian (Indian). They had very innovative dishes. We enjoyed the spicy chickpea side and plantain chips and dips for Apps! The mint mojo sauce and panch phoran Mayo are incredible condiments!!! The waiters were very hospitable and friendly, and since our mains were taking time, they brought us the crispy Brussels sprouts (the cilantro chimmichurri is delicious) and roasted duck (the mango and onion curtido was amazing!!) on the house. My husband and I tried the fried chicken sandwich and the veggie breakfast arepas! Both dishes are really well done and the sauces are amazing. Hats off to the chefs on creating the veggie arepas dish, the cauliflower (roasted well with turmeric), shishito peppers, medium poached eggs and cilantro hollandaise was a spot on combo. Just wished the arepa bread itself wasn't so tough to cut through. However the dish as a whole was so well thought out. This place doesn't fuse both cultures in the most obvious ways, but really uniquely through very diff spice combos, marinations and sauces. Highly recommend coming here! read more
