Berkeley’s has been teasing the upcoming opening of their next spot: the Archer! Opening at 601 Meeting Street (the space formerly occupied by Gale) sometime this summer, it’s anticipated to be “a neighborhood restaurant and bar for fun-loving grown-ups with sophisticated taste”, according to the Post & Courier. The Archer and Berkeley’s are partnering for an al fresco wine dinner tonight on Berkeley’s patio, with seatings at 5:30 and 8pm. Their menu promises crab baked ricotta, a spicy zucchini salad with Calabrian chilis, and olive oil cake for dessert. Find tickets for both seatings on Resy.
