Below is an excerpt from an email I received from a guest yesterday…he has been dining with us twice a week since we re-opened in July of 2021:
“Copine has long been my favorite Seattle fixture, not just restaurant. Since my first meal there after you reopened your doors, I’ve experienced many of the finest creations of my life. I could tell from photographs, before even making a reservation, that it was special, and the salad of Hawaiian hearts of palm at that first meal cemented Copine as the dreamiest neighborhood restaurant; I couldn’t believe I could have brilliant, world-class fare without airfare. The consistency shone through visit after visit, and I knew within weeks where I wanted to be week after week.
I will never forget all your generosity in allowing me to dine, often at short notice, at a table or at the bar, helping me secure a reservation time after time. I love how you asked me if I had a subscription to ‘Art Culinaire’ because I knew the importance of the publication; I’ve never had one, but I now had a subscription to a delightful restaurant.
I can’t express enough gratitude to you and all who’ve played a part at Copine. Your dedication and diligence are truly deserving of all the success that you desire.’
This is the ultimate example of why we run a restaurant. It’s hard and very humbling to describe what this means to us; making memories and building relationships with our guests is such an honor. Thank you so much, Barron…we wish you the best on your journey to the East Coast. You’ll always have a seat at our table.
