Went in for a drink and a snack the same day I went exploring downtown, mainly because the location was so gorgeous. I sat at the bar and mainly unimpressed with the barman's skills, did not know how to make a negroni even after I told him, and he seemed a tad scattered. I opted for a beer. After that,... More

Archer's sits out on the water in Rockland Harbor and the food matches the stunning location. We had a large group for dinner the other night and each of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. My Cioppino was full of fish, mussels, lobster and other seafood and came with a side salad. It was very well prepared, but a bit pricey.... More

Went for my father-in-law's birthday with out of town guests who wanted to go here to have a fun meal on the ocean, and the food was just average. No big problems, just would have been much better if I'd bought seafood a Jess' and cooked it myself. Too many local places with great seafood to try this again.

I thought it was going to be a decent place to eat considering the amazing view they have but I was not impressed. Had wings that were over cooked and service really wasn't that great.. The view was the only good thing.

They serve the worst quesadillas that I have ever had. Someone should tell the cook (doesn't deserve the title of chef) that this dish should have some flavor to it. They were filled with tasteless chicken and a VERY small amount of cheddar cheese inside and served with COLD Mexican-style rice. The flour tortilla was well grilled and looked quite... More

Waitress was not over the top friendly, but hospitable. Amazing haddock and scallops. The best place in Rockland for seafood.

We had been given the recommendation for Archer's on the Pier by a few locals and decided to give it a try during our recent visit to Rockland. There was a great view of the harbor and the interior is nicely decorated. We ordered a salmon dish and also the pan seared scallops. Both were good, but felt that the... More

We loved the view of the harbor. We split the king club and both enjoyed it as well as the onion strings. Second night my wife had a crab roll which she enjoyed. I had the fried clams. A little disappointing; both the fries and the clams were a little soggy. Good taste but the fries were better the night... More

My favorite restaurant in Rockland, ME for for lunch or dinner. Conveniently located with lots of parking in the south end of town with a glorious view of Rockland harbor. A deck for dining in the summer. The menu is varied from beef to fish. Wonderful salads,soups and stews. Generally busy. I meet friends at Archers frequently for lunch. Reservation... More
