Incredible ambience and food - one of the best dinner experiences I’ve had. The food is bursting with flavor and the experience feels like a hug. My husband and I had some dietary restrictions - and they took care to ensure each and every one of them was met. I’m definitely a fan for life! :)

The Archipelago experience includes elevated Pinoy cuisine with expert storytelling. The most memorable part of the meal for me is the service. The noodle and some of the vegetable side dishes were great. Everything else was okay. They offer an interesting collection of Pacific NW wines as well.

Flawless execution of dishes and service. They were so careful about my pregnancy restrictions and I never even had to ask if anything was safe for me. They were so friendly and welcoming and of course we so enjoyed the food, that, in many aspects, were brand new flavors for me. The dishes were bold and creative, yet found a way to be nostalgic in some ways to me. What a wonderful place, I hope to return to again and again.

From the minute you enter the restaurant, your experience begins. The chef and staff engage with everyone the whole time. The stories that accompany each food presentation was truly inspiring. Each food item was delicious and well presented. We did the juice pairing and that was very refreshing. To the Chef and his staff, we are truly grateful for this wonderful experience.
We thank our son for gifting us such a memorable night. My only regret was not taking any photos.

A Truly Memorable Anniversary at Archipelago
We recently celebrated our 30-year anniversary at Archipelago, and it couldn’t have been a more fitting place for such a meaningful occasion. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the intimate and thoughtfully designed space — it felt personal, inviting, and unlike any other dining experience we’ve had in Seattle.
The service was exceptional, and we especially want to recognize Isabel, who made us feel not only welcomed but truly celebrated. Her attentiveness, warmth, and deep knowledge of the menu added an extra layer of care to an already remarkable evening.
What sets Archipelago apart is its dedication to telling a story through food — one inspired by the many regions and places that Filipinos throughout history have shaped and thrived in. This cultural journey is expressed through their inventive tasting menu, where each bite is deliberate, balanced, and full of heart. The interplay of sweet and savory flavors was especially striking and kept us intrigued course after course.
Highlights from the Summer Tasting Menu included the perfectly cooked ribeye, the deeply flavorful braised short rib, the unexpected and delicious churro, and the beautifully crafted red beet sponge cake. Each dish was not only delicious but carried a deeper connection to the heritage and narrative Archipelago so beautifully celebrates.
This was more than just a dinner — it was a sensory and cultural experience, and one we’ll never forget. Archipelago gave us a 30th anniversary celebration that was intimate, meaningful, and full of joy. We’re already looking forward to returning.
Probably the best tasting menu in Seattle. A truly exquisite experience with immaculate service and (most importantly) delicious food. The dishes were varied and unique, with every one excellent. The wine pairing was also well done with several unique bottles that went nicely with each course.
Would highly recommend for any special occasion.

One of the best fine dining experiences in Seattle. Impressive ability to capture filipino flavors and textures in a fine dining experience. By reservation only so plan ahead. A member of our party had a significant dietary restriction and they treated it extremely seriously. It's a tasting menu so understand thar going in. Just a great team working in concert making great food.

This is an extremely special restaurant. It is an honor to be able to dine at archipelago. I visit Seattle once a year and was lucky enough to pre snag up a reservation to their cozy world class restaurant. From start to finish, expectations were exceeded. This coming from someone who works in the fine dining food industry. Obviously the food was amazing, thoughtful, unique, and most importantly…Filipino. But what made this one of the best dining experiences was the staff, and the STORY. This is focused themed dinner with a purpose. Not merely appealing to taste buds. But pushing Emotion, thought provoking, and neighborhood presence in the Filipino community. This is a show. Attention to detail is their mantra. Every guest is special to Archipelago. The wine pairing is funky and fun. But enhances and doesn’t detract. All subtle yet beautiful. Thank you so much!! You would be lucky to dine with archipelago.
