About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
The Gabriel Archer Tavern was built in 1987 on footprints of an old farm shed. Today, its mission is to provide a memorable farm-to-table dining experience that's both delicious and nourishing.

In addition to a half-acre produce garden and greenhouse on site where lettuces and herbs will be grown, our chef works hard to find local farmers as partners in producing a menu oriented towards fresh and seasonal specialties.

Our wide variety of fresh selections from our unique menu will guarantee that everyone in your party leaves with a smile.

    We enjoyed patio dining for lunch this afternoon. The setting was lovely. Outdoor dining provides a quieter environment. A nice concise lunch menu provided a variety of entrées. I enjoyed the shrimp street tacos with two glasses of wine from Williamsburg Winery. Not someplace that is easy on the wallet for lunch on a regular basis. But for a treat or special occasion it’s a win!
