Atlas Atlanta Reviews
After much anticipation, we finally came to the Michelin
After much anticipation, we finally came to the Michelin rated Atlas for a birthday dinner. While it had impeccable service, thoughtful touches, and a beautiful dining area, ultimately the thing you come to dinner for - the food - fell short of what I would expect a Michelin star restaurant to deliver. Upon entering the dining area, we were invited to a table for two that was beautifully set up - well spaced and intimate. After a warm towel, we started our vegan tasting menu. The pace of the menu was spaced over the course of many dishes - from appetizers to entrees to desserts. Some of my favorite were: -Vichysoisse: a leek and potato soup accompanied with thinly sliced fried onions and small pieces of veggies underneath. Very tasty and whetted the pallet! -Carrot: while the dish itself was nothing particularly impressive overall, I could have bottled the sauce and doused it all over. Delicious! -all dessert courses: Atlas shined in this category. From the beautiful Viennese rose course (which also has a fun experience with it) to the Bartlett pear sorbet and the Chocolat V dish, the desserts were beautifully served and well balanced. The other dishes fell flat. While they were beautifully decorated, on elegant plating, and tried to be interesting, they lacked the elevation to really entice the taste buds. For example, the kohlrabi dish was just thinly sliced kohlrabi, sitting in a soup of more kohlrabi. There wasn't anything particularly developed in flavor - simple things like a little hint of sea salt and umami would have worked. There was not much variety in the veggie-forward dishes - just various ways of eating a vegetable. The flavors were boring. We kept eating courses before dessert thinking we may find something that was scintillating yet it never quite came. We were never "wowed" as I would expect at a place that has a Michelin star We also had the wagyu addition (it was indicated it was halal) which had the same accoutrements as the maitake dish. I wish we were notified of this ahead of ordering it, because it tasted like the same dish. I will say - the vegan menu lacked protein (which is why we ordered the wagyu to start with). The bread service provided throughout the meal was excellent - very fresh, plentiful (we were asked 3 times if we wanted more) and tasty. The service was excellent, the servers that catered to us were thoughtful, gave us extensive explanations as the courses were brought out, and even offered us the opportunity to learn more about the art on the walls through an iPad. They also asked about dietary restrictions and made sure they were aware of them throughout the menu. Overall: 5/5 for the ambience 5+++/5 for service 3/5 for food I'm not sure if our review of the food is limited since we had the vegan tasting menu, but if you're offering it, you better make sure it lives up to the standards of the rest of the restaurant. It seemed more style than substance.
Why did this place only get one star? As someone who has
Why did this place only get one star? As someone who has been to quite a few establishments, it feels like Atlas was denied that second star, it's truly that good. Every box was checked here, a thoughtful drink menu. Excellent service. All the bread you can handle (not that you'll need it, I was absolutely stuffed). A gratis birthday cake and of course, the food, which was excellent. We did their 10 course tasting menu and were treated to an amazing amuse bouche... course? I can't describe it any other way as it had 4 items on it! Playful takes on British cookies, and three other little snacks that were the perfect opening and set the tone of Earthiness for the evening. Shout out to the mushroom consume served in a small glass (it was like... clear mushroom soup?) it was there to be the pallet cleanser and honestly it was so much better than the typical "here's something mega fruity" offering. Many courses had either truffle or another form of mushroom infused pour over. The big proteins (Turbot, Squab) were both impeccable and were paired with an assortment of classy root vegetables and included a, some might say, elaborate/slightly off putting head to tail presentation! Our deserts had both a citrus and chocolate offering, which to me always caps off an evening. Service was impeccable, with never an empty glass and always a question if a course wasn't complete. Only complaint, and it's minor, was that the seating was against the wall, so there was a lot of reach overs, this isn't really all that problematic, and they had a very clever way of place setting that allowed them to get cutlery in place in a reasonable order. Overall, a wonderful experience, a bit on the pricey side, but you're honestly getting what you paid for, it's incredible.
Amazing
The food is amazing as is the service. We tried the chefs sampler menu. 10 courses of amazing. But be prepared for a couple with a few drinks, $900. Donβt misunderstand the rest of the menu is not like this though prices are on the high end. The drinks are excellent and atmosphere relaxed. Your not rushed by any means. Service is top notch.
Atlas is a nice upscale restaurant located in St.
Regis Hotel. Atlas food is delicious and their wait staff is phenomenal. Antoinette, offers amazing service while seated at the bar. Antoinette, always remembers what cocktail, I like when I arrive and greets me by name. My go to dish, Oyster on ice paired with one of their signature white wines. Everything on Atlas menu is scrumptious. A fine dining restaurant that gives you your money worth. While waiting for your dinner to be serve, you get amazing bread to chose from, and a IPad for table internet browsing, while waiting. They pick the IPad once dinner is completed. Nice touch. Valet & Self parking for a fee. Amazing views while dining. Go check Atlas out.

It is no wonder this place recently received a Michelin star. The service, drinks, food, and atmosphere was all incredible! Everything we had was delicious, especially the hens egg, and king crab soup. Very excited to come back and try the chefs tasting menu when I am not pregnant so I can fully enjoy everything on the menu!

Atlas pre fixed menu december 2023 - Variety of high quality ingredients in dishes. Each dish is presented beautifully like artwork. Service was great and it was a great atmosphere. Servers gave explanation of each dish. Prefix experience took about 3 hours.
For context, my partner surprised me with this date to try
For context, my partner surprised me with this date to try the tasting menu in hour of our 7 year anniversary. It was such a treat to be in this iconic space and it makes sense Michelin awarded it with a star earlier this year. Some logistics first -- we had a 7:45 PM reservation and sat for nearly three hours. The tasting menu was 8 courses for $245, accompanied by an amuse-bouche at the beginning and pastries at the end. Patrons are also given the option of two add-ons being the truffle risotto and the 4-oz wagyu. Naturally, there are wine-pairings in three options; my partner went with the traditional one ($150+). As a requirement, tasting menus can only be done for the whole table, so just be mindful if not everyone wants to partake in the service. The dress-code is business casual, so no need to wear formal attire, but come as you please (no tank tops or slippers, I'm guessing). The dining spaces are intimate and chic without being stuffy or pretentious. The meal started with a dehyrated towlette with a sprig of rosemary that was rehydrated with hot water. The first course was light -- a tuna cigarette, cracker sandwich with raspberry/strawberry jam, a cracker inspired by pizza, and avocado butter spread with bits of toasted rice; it was a cute start to the meal. Next came the amuse-bouche which was a mushroom consomme served in a champagne flute. That was followed by the kristal caviar dish, and then a lobster dish, some fresh bread, and then scallop. All of the dishes up to that point were impressive and have a whimsical flair, but the scallop dish was hit or miss. My particular scallop was just so slightly overcooked (it was tense throughout), while my partner's was perfectly seared. After that, we had the poached hens egg encapsulated by a parsley gel. Wow oh wow, I think that was the best egg I've ever had in my life. At this point, we were starting to slow down because we were getting so full. The halibut which came after was perfectly timed as it was light enough to keep us going and give us a second wind. It was the perfect appetite re-opener to our meal. We were given the choice of selecting our entree knives -- the waiter came around with a box of 10 choices, each beautiful in design and functionality. We got an entire squab that was delightfully presented atop a beautiful floral arrangement that made me feel like I was eating farm-to-table. I think the breast meat and sauce were impeccable, but the texture of the stuffing that went into the neck and leg were not ones that I like (too smooth and processed feeling). Next up was the wagyu which we had high hopes for. The marbling was all there and the high-fat content was something I love to see...unfortunately the meat itself was pretty tough, despite being cooked medium rare. It's unfortunate, but I think the meat quality was just not there. After that was the move towards the sweeter side -- their main dessert at the time was an apple trifle, which I'm allergic to, so they accommodated by creating an orange version, which was perfectly tart and refreshing. Then came the FM Rocher with vanilla ice cream, and hazelnut lava atop a chocolate brownie of sorts. This dessert was amazing, though I wish the chocolate inside the ball would have been a bit less runny. Lastly, we had some hand-made chocolates, gummies, and pastries that were a good end to the meal. As for the wine, my partner really enjoyed it and said out of all the wine-pairings he's done, this was impressed the most because it was clear how each of the pours complimented each of the courses. I think save for the scallop and the wagyu, the meal was really enjoyable and it didn't feel so unapproachable or presumptuous. The fanfare was just perfect, and the service all around was impeccable. I'd definitely dine here again.

Came here on a Tuesday night with a group of 5 for the tasting menu right after their Michelin win. I had been here shortly after they opened and loved it. This time, I had high expectations, and they just weren't met. I just moved from Chicago and have been to most of the Michelin restaurants there, and Atlas only had a few elements that even came close. The snacks before dinner were creative and tasty. The caviar course was divine. Everything else was pretty standard steakhouse food. The Ferrero Rocher dessert, while delicious, was not creative at all and is frankly a gimmick. The service was friendly and insightful, but this was the longest dinner of my life, prob close to 4h. At other Michelin restaurants I've been to, they watch for everyone at the table to finish the course and immediately bring out the next one. We had long gaps between courses that if I had been there with less entertaining people, would have been painful. I'm giving Atlas 4 stars bc the food was really tasty and the restaurant is beautiful. I think I may have made a mistake in getting the tasting menu so I will be back for the regular menu at some point.

Overall experience was great! Can't wait to go back when menu changes. Amazing ambience with great attentive staff. Favorite parts were the start - snacks, pretzel breads, and FM Rocher towards the end.

Came to Atlanta for a weekend from DC and glad we got the chance to try Atlas. We had a great corner table so both of us could watch the dining room as dishes came out. We did the chefs tasting menu - our favorite was the caviar. I was worried because I've only had caviar once and did not enjoy it. This experience changed my mind. The tuna + caviar + squid ink "cracker" and the sauce - not to mention the textures - paired perfectly together. Other standouts included the "pizza" starter - a melt in your mouth sensation with pizza seasoning, and the lobster. By the time we got to the trout, we were very full. Thankfully our dessert stomaches set in and found room to enjoy the FR sundae. The wagyu, for me, was so so. I would have liked it to be cooked a bit more but I imagine that is sacriligious. The meal took three hours so make sure to come when you have time to sit and savor.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Atlas Atlanta at 6 PM the same day.
