    The food was very average to not good at all. There were five of us with mixed reviews. The fish in the monthly fish and chips special was soggy, the lobster Mac & cheese was bland and the cheese sauce was granular, the Rueben egg rolls were great. One of us got the smash burger chefs special and said that was perfect. The Nashville chicken was blah, the butter & blue salad could’ve been good but had so much dressing it was ruined. I usually use more dressing than the average person if that puts it in perspective. And the black bean burger was awful - we couldn’t eat it. The drinks tasted great but light on alcohol for the price. The service was fantastic! The music in the restaurant was too loud, which causes everyone to talk over it making it for a very noisy venue. The hand-sketched wall of Columbus past was super cool

    We had a reservation that we changed several times and it was no problem for arch Tavern. The staff was so accommodating. The food was awesome. We were there on a Monday night for $10 burgers. Everything was phenomenal would highly recommend.
