We have continued our search within Seattle for some of the best dining experiences. The more we look, the more we are impressed with the growing number of options. However, even among those great places out there, few have moved me to the point of rethinking what good quality dining should be. While we often think of NYC, Chicago, or LA as the homes to these fine dining experiences, we'd be mistaken to overlook Seattle as it takes its place among the country's best. Archipelago sets a new standard for what our great city can achieve and I am excited to share our experience at the Seattle's crown jewel of restaurants.How does one describe Archipelago? Its website tagline uses three words: identity, culture and empowerment which I think articulates their philosophy through and through. Simple yet powerful. Artistic but not pretentious. They combine the best of what you would imagine embodies the Pacific Northwest while also telling new stories through their food and service. Rooted in the Filipino-American culinary history, the Archipelago team led by Chef Aaron Verzosa and his wife Amber Manuguid, guide you through the underappreciated story of Filipino culture in Seattle and how this has influenced global cuisine. Their approach to storytelling includes a Filipino food influenced PNW tasting menu set in a beautifully decorated cozy bar converted to restaurant. Overtly, the decorations pay tribute to the PNW and more subtly there are small but powerful tributes to Filipino culture throughout the space. Many will be covered in the dining experience to come.Making reservations will be a challenge as there are limited seats for each seating and I believe at most two seatings a night. If you're lucky you can get online and find an open reservation, but I suggest getting in on as many waitlists as possible. I was fortunate to have been emailed about seating availability on a night that I had signed up for the waitlist. The email came at 1am and I grabbed 2 seats. All seats were taken within 10 min of the email going out. Seattle "stars" could be nominated for reservations as well but I don't have the details on how those are selected.Dinner starts promptly at your reservation time. Vaccine cards are checked before you arrive or at the door. Physical or digital copies are required. Don't be that person who forgets. All staff wear masks and all guests are required until they are seated. Everyone sits around the bar with the exception of 4-6 people who may reserve the table for dining. You pay in advance and have the option for "insurance" for a refund should you not be able to make your reservation. The only choice you have to make before your dining experience is whether you will do the juice pairing. You will not be able to select this when you are seated but you can choose from the wines available or other equally attractive non-alcoholic beverages.How do you describe the food? Half of the enjoyment is not knowing what to expect next so I will limit the details on each dish. But each was prepared artiscally to appeal to all your senses. Careful attention is given to the presentation on the plate and how each was served. The unique flavors of the ingredients were highlighted by the preparation. Each dish came with a story - the how and why each dish, each ingredient was chosen and why it was important to Filipino culture was told with a story arc that spanned your dinner experience. You're encouraged to ask whatever questions you wanted of the staff with each providing additional information about the decisions made about the restaurant. For example, I asked about serving ware and apparently many of their serving dishes were sourced locally by people inspired by the PNW. Needless to say after my wordy review above that this is a must try. I know many of you travel for your dining experiences and Archipelago is in our backyard. I'm excited for them about their James Beard nod but perhaps it's time that Michelin included a Seattle guide. Certainly this is a 2+ star restaurant. This was a dining experience to remember and I'd be back in a heartbeat if I'm ever lucky enough to get a reservation again.
