Chef Hisanobu Osaka (ex Morimoto) serves up innovative French-Japanese fusion cuisine at Archipelago, a new West Villager occupying the former Dani space, whose industrial-chic look is now accented with black-and-white manga-style murals; meals here are meant to be a multicourse affair, as in addition to the standard starter and main there’s a third course called shokuji (consisting of rice or noodle dishes) followed by dessert.
