First time dining at Archipelago. It was quite the exceptional experience and unexpectedly educational. While I enjoy and have experienced many tasting menu experiences over the years, I can't think of many that eclipse this one. One part upscale filipino dining, one part immersion in warm filipino culture, and another part an omage to filipino history related to the PNW. Very creative dishes with flavors rooted in traditional filipino fare. Impeccable service and an unusual level of engagement with the team really sets this experience apart. Located in a cozy space, the atmosphere while very open, felt intimate at the same time. I was initially turned off by plexiglass seperating the kitchen from the patrons sitting at the counter, however after understanding the role the historical pictures hanging from the plexiglass played in telling the story throughout the evening, it became less obstructive. That being said, the plexiglass is the only thing I would change. The restaurant only seats 12. 8 at the counter and then a single 4-top table. I highly recommend. Very pricey, but worth it for a special dinner.

I wouldn't so much describe Archipelago as a restaurant, because it's much more like culinary storytelling. The nights' menus are a unique appreciation of Filipino heritage and foods, through the lens of the Pacific Northwest. The unassuming storefront gives way to an intimate interior where you can't help but engage with those joining you for the seating. The staff were delightful and attentive, and the bites surprising (and filling! The team's thoughtfulness shines through even in the way they ensure that you leave satisfied). If it sounds like I'm fawning over Archipelago, it's because I am and it's well-deserved. This was our first dining adventure in two years and it was well worth the wait. A thank you to Aaron, Amber, and their team for making it a wonderfully memorable evening.
