Easily the best experience we've had on the west coast.
For one of two nightly dining options, I'm told an online reservation was made for us weeks ago. They feature a tasting menu. Something rare for us. The attention to detail was incredible and we were pampered beyond belief. A total first. Th

Coming from a food hub (Charleston) and being a self-proclaimed foodie, when I moved to the Seattle area I was underwhelmed with the higher end options that didn't break the bank. I'm all about eating at a Michelin star restaurant, but some
10/10 Great dining experience!!
Great service! It was fine dining that felt comfortable. It felt like I was at a friend’s party but with the most beautiful, delicious food! They also make sure you don’t leave hungry! The staff were all knowledgeable about the food and drinks.
Another journey that hit the spot
It has been a few years since I have been to Archipelago last and am impressed how the team has evolved to be a Michelin-worthy restaurant. Service was impeccable. An example to follow by many many restaurants in the Seattle area who try too hard and

I typically don't think about service that much when I am considering a restaurant, but considering that service is Archipelago's stand out feature, this will be the focal point of my review. It is really hard to snag a reservation here and you have
Archipelago was an absolutely amazing dining experience.
Chef Aaron and his team do a fantastic job of telling the story of each course you have during the evening. The food is by far some of the best I have had from any restaurant in the Seattle area. This small unique restaurant will not disappoint. When

I'll start off by saying actually read people's reviews and don't just go on the star rating. You will notice a common trend here, 3+ stars, people complaining about portion size, value for money and service. TLDR You are paying $215 per person plus

The whole experience --the food, service, and ambiance-- was truly exceptional. This is a PNW love song to Filipino cuisine and history, with some serious culinary magic sprinkled on it (sorry for the mixed metaphor ;-). Every course starred fresh, l

We loved the intimate experience where you get to speak to all members of the team throughout the night. They were kind and fun, and it was fun. The team was very accommodating towards my partners food aversions - they made versions of every dish to

This restaurant asks diners to prepay for reservations.
This is not a business model any consumer should support. Don't let them claim "family business." Outrageous.
Possibly best dining experience I ever had.
Felt like I was invited into their home as guests of honor. The meal was delicious and introduced me to new flavor combinations. Recommend the juice pairing! Can't wait to go back.
The awards and accolades that Archipelago has been
The awards and accolades that Archipelago has been receiving are definitely well deserved. I went there in December as a birthday present for myself and wow, what an experience. I'm Filipino so I've had a lot of the food at family parties, but WOW.

Service: 5/5The staffs are very friendly.
They are knowledgeable of the dishes and various drinks they serve throughout the evening. Some of the servers will stop by and have small talks to know their guests. When they serve the dishes, it feels like a choregraph as they were in sync. I enjo

                        the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Archipelago Seattle at 6 PM the same day. 
    He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Archipelago Seattle page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
    Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
    1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at Archipelago Seattle to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Archipelago Seattle!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
