Since we'd already been to Lazy Betty twice, it was hard not to compare the experiences. Very similar concepts, although I'll say that if Lazy Betty was a five-star experience, Atlas should probably be six, if that were a thing. The courses were bigger, the techniques and ingredients were more inventive, some of the cocktails cost hundreds of dollars due to rare/aged spirits, and the overall experience was more high-end. However, the cost is also greater and it also came across as slightly pretentious, which is great if that's your vibe. For the record, I'd pick Lazy Betty any day of the week. We were there in March so the winter menu was in effect -- unfortunately can't see those offerings online anymore as they have transitioned to the spring menu. The things that stood out to me that I still recall a few months later: 1) I thought I hated beets my entire life until I had whatever they served me, which was pure heaven. I believe it was some kind of beet gazpacho which sounded horrid but thankfully I stretched my limits to try it and am happy I did. 2) I don't care for sweetbreads or duck. Although not advertised as an option, they were able to sub out each of those courses for something else, which I did enjoy (one of them was their take on "green eggs and ham") 3) I got full somewhere in the middle and ended up having to box up the dessert to go, because I thought I was going to puke if I ate one more thing. Like Lazy Betty, service was extraordinary. Our main waitress was attentive without being annoying. I'd disclosed at the time of making the reservation that my bf was celebrating a birthday and each staff member with whom we interacted expressed their well wishes and made it a special experience. Everyone who brought out and explained the dishes did so with pride and gusto. The ambiance was dark/moody and felt more private, especially because they'd given us a large U-shaped corner booth. Things that had nothing to do with the restaurant that affected my overall impression: 1) Atlas is located inside a hotel which is just a pain. Once you enter the hotel, it's not very clear where you are supposed to go to access the restaurant. We accidentally stood in line for a few minutes at whatever was across the hall from the restaurant, thinking that was it. 2) It cost money to valet/park, so we figured we might as well just Uber there and home. The front of the hotel is a cramped disaster. 3) The bathrooms are not inside the restaurant, but are the general ones for the hotel. There was an attendant but nice touches like mouthwash and other amenities were not present. Definitely an experience for a special occasion, and worthy of accolades. read more

Wonderful dining experience with impeccable service. Every course was stunning to look at and even my dad (who has been in the restaurant business for 50+ years and almost always has at least one minor critique) had nothing negative to say. I love how they bring a platter of water garnishes for you to "personalize" your water. I chose lime and mint. So fun and clever! A small detail that really helped elevate this meal. We started out with the snacks which I quite enjoyed. I liked the sculpture-like octopus tentacles! Visually all very appealing. The caviar dish was solid. I love the printed letters in the tomato salad, but didn't love the taste of the salad itself. Sweetbreads were good- very rich, a bit too heavy for me personally, I couldn't finish mine. The salmon was okay, I didn't love the gelatinous texture of the green layer on the top. Quail dish was excellent. And beautiful. Wagyu perfect as well. Love the truffle. I also love how they let you select your knife. I liked hearing the stories behind the curated knife collection. Their attention to detail is truly phenomenal. Popsicle was very cute. We added on a cheese plate- again I really appreciate how they tell you about all the different cheeses and the table side preparation of them. Honeycomb was very fragrant. I didn't like the rose cheese though. It tasted like soap... too fragrant. I liked the strawberry dessert a lot! The rice paper caramel was very nostalgic for me- it reminds me of these rice paper milk candies I would eat as a kid. I wished they told us about their art. Apparently it was all specifically curated and has personal significance to the restaurant... they used to tell you about it, but they neglected to explain any of it during this visit. Overall, an incredible meal! Michelin stars well deserved! read more

Came here for after dinner cocktails and sat at the bar. Service was great. Vibe is 10/10. And the cocktails were delish. I tried their mezcal dill potato chip cocktail.. (the one on the right in the photo) and I was being adventurous and it totally paid off. It was amazing I had two. Definitely recommend. read more

Atlas - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Let me just start off by saying I wasn't expected to be WOW'd the way I was from this experience. I'm always a little hesitant when it comes to any restaurant in Buckhead if I'm being honest...because some places tend to be overly hyped solely for ambiance with average tasting food... But Atlas?...WOW... 5 stars is not enough!! We were treated like royalty (no exaggeration) upon walking in. Very much felt like a V.I.P. Before you start eating, they have this cool how towel service, where the towel expands , it's so cool (see video) For reference. We did the Chef's Tasting Menu, which came with about 10 courses. When I say this was an EXPERIENCE, this was indeed a beautiful thing to add to the memory bank. The courses were as followed (the pics will show you better than I could tell you, but!...... * "Snax" * Kristal Caviar *Sweetbreads *The Finest Langoustine *Poached Salmon *Quail *Westholme Wagyu *Popsicle *Strawberry *Sweets ***I have attached a picture of the menu, that provides descriptions on all of these dishes*** Tony was our server. He was such a delight to say the LEAST. He was so gentle, sweet and kind and SO accommodating. Miguel was also awesome as well. We also loved our consigliere Maxwell. He guided us on picking the right wine to pair with our courses. Everyone was SO attention-to-detail. I like to know where my food is coming from, so I appreciated the detailed background on everything. We were so impressed with everything and everyone, that we couldn't stop talking about it. We didn't even want to leave! This was truly such a one-of-a-kind evening, and I just want to thank whoever is over staffing at Atlas because you have the most perfect and patient people in place. I have lost count of how many people I've bragged about this experience to. I already can't wait to plan my return, thanks again for this lovely memory. read more

Not the best tasting food 1. First dish started off great and was very good, scallops with caviar and an almond sauce. The flavors went well together in a way I would have never imagined. 2. The second beet course was cute but ultimately flavorless. I thought the goat cheese would have some tanginess but it just tasted like a bowl of icy cold bland mush made of beet and cheese. 3. Green eggs and ham was ok. Not too bad. 4. Sea bass flavor was not bad but the portion was the smallest slice of fish I've ever seen even for a Michelin restaurant and I've been to many. The stuffed morel added negative to the dish. It reminded me of eating a sea cucumber. 5. The quail, foie gras, and condensed salad seemed like the randomest choice of ingredients to put on one dish with nothing complementing each other in flavor. The dish felt like leftover meal where I just put whatever food I have left in one container. 6. Palate cleanser was good strawberry sorbet. 7. Optional cheese course was ok, I like the rose tea cheese. The pieces were big (and I guess they should be at around $9 a piece) and we ordered four and it was just too much cheese. 8. Dessert was great. Delicious home made vanilla ice cream. Petit fours also great too. The pastry chef is definitely a diff chef than the one that made the food. I've never been so glad to finish a meal in my life. The food was just not good and I was just forcing myself to finish it and not waste it especially at $275 a person... definitely not worth it and I wouldn't even want to eat it for $50 price either. I actually lost my appetite the more the meal went on. Someone must have paid or had a connection with a michelin taster bc how could they give them a star two years in a row read more

Everything was absolutely top tier. I got engaged yesterday afternoon my now fiancé took me here last night to celebrate with our families!

Back after at least 5 years! First time back since they have received their ONE star. Started with cocktails and 2 tastings (no supp) and shared one classic pairing = $1k. Definitely on the pricier side, especially for a one star. The hospitality has always been top notch at Atlas, especially now they are under the limelight of Michelin. Will be back just for bites and cocktails at the bar. Don't think I could sit through another tasting. read more

Atlas - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Excellent service. You will be taken care of. Dinner was flawed. At the price, it's concerning. We had the chef's tasting w wine pairings. There are three levels of pairings, none of which you're given a price; you're presented with options, and you choose (so be warned). We selected the 'middle tier' - which was lovely. They have a Madeira presentation, which is nice, but again, prices are left out. You're supposed to choose one...prices vary wildly, and you could be ordering a simple ~2oz glass of fortified wine at $200 a pop. Dinner took about 3 hours. If you've had a tasting menu, it was nice and safe for Atlanta - nothing stood out. There is room for improvement, but at the current cost, I'm not sure what Atlanta could afford. There is a dress code which you should abide by, but I saw diners in shorts and sneakers and sports jerseys...so not sure how strongly the code is enforced. I had to do a double-take to make sure I wasn't at a sports bar. Thank goodness the lovely art in the room grounded me. read more

After my visit, I honestly thought that this place deserves at least 2 stars, not 1. I've been to 2 Michelin star restaurants before and this was on par, dare I say even better than some of the 2 star ones! Walking into Atlas, you're greeted with such courtesy. It's an experience when you purely get to enjoy being treated like royalty. The waiters were poised and knowledgeable about the food. I also got to talk to the sommelier about wine pairings! We went during Christmas time so the decor was so elegant. Everything in the place just looks like it makes sense. Anyways, moving onto the food. During times like these, I wish I had a bigger stomach so I can eat everything. We started with some appetizers, which was some of the most unique appetizers I've ever seen. My person favorite with the Jammie dodgers. Each dish was quite unique, but I'd have to say the whole bird was just stunning! Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavors just worked so well. Take the hen's egg, for example. When I saw it on the menu, I wondered, how good can you really make an egg. Turns out, Chef Freddy can make a eggs pretty d*** good. I've never had an egg dish that left me lost for words. An indescribable experience! If I'm in Atlanta, I MUST GO TO ATLAS AGAIN! Truly a splurge for myself. read more

Had an opportunity to eat here with 5 other coworkers while traveling to Atlanta for work. We just so happened to be staying in Buckhead and on our last day of the project, thought Atlas would be a good last hurrah. It ended up being a wonderful decision. Each of us did the chefs tasting menu and that ended up being an amazing decision. I don't think I need to go into each course but every single one was crafted to perfection. The portion size and flavors all complemented one another and it was hit after hit after hit. The service matched exactly what you would expect for a restaurant of Atlas' quality. It is a bit pricier so would recommend saving for a special occasion, but would highly recommend it if you're ever in the area and looking for an exquisite meal. read more

Superb. Just superb. Exceptional food, good drinks, excellent sommelier, exquisite decor and service. Have been multiple times and it never disappoints. Would go every week if I could. The blue cheese on the dessert cheese plate is by far the best blue I've ever had. This is by far the best restaurant in the area. read more

10/10! We've done a handful of Michelin stared restaurants and this was up to par! The service was incredible. Our waiter guided us on what we should do, like ordering just one Wagyu and not two. Would highly recommend the Wagyu! It was tender and so delicious. All of the food was impeccable. Every course was amazing. I didn't love that "the whole bird" had the bird head and legs...but that's more a personal thing. My husband had no issue enjoying it! I have a nut allergy and they were very accommodating which I loved. We had a rather large table for just two but with all of the plates it made sense. I will say the bar in front got a little noisy which was a smidge annoying but not awful. read more

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. read more

Here is a Resteraunt with Michelin Star prices but unfortunately not the "goods". While the food many good moments, the staff had many "not so good" moments. At Michelin Star restaurants, the expectations of great food, great staff and a great ambiance must all be present to rate. Here they fell short on two of the three. Some things like a broken foot rail at the bar, servers not following etiquette on serving and clearing of the table, are what we will remember about Atlas. A few of the offerings on the chef tasting menu were notable, and a few not so much. Points do go to the Sommelier as he did recommend some great wines and was very personable. Doubtful we will be going back again. read more

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. read more

Came here for an event in the evening in their private room! Such a vibe! The service was spectacular, they made sure we had the drinks we wanted to our liking, that the appetizers stayed fresh and replenished, and provided many napkins which is always a plus for me (random, LOL). I was so pleased with the food, as this was my first time here. My husband and I would have never tried Beef Tar Tar, but we did and LOVED IT! Especially the chorizo empanadas! Amazing ambience, great service, heavenly food....this is the spot to go! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for some time. I finally decided to come one Saturday evening. It was a really nice experience. I made a reservation to sit at the bar but when I arrived, it wasn't full so I had the option to sit in another spot but I still opted for the bar. The decor is really picturesque and relaxing. My bartender Joe made great recommendations for food and drink. For drinks I had an espresso martini, a Jardin Des Rosa and a few other drinks that the bartenders made on the fly. Everything was really well made with quality ingredients. For dinner, I had the waygu tasting which was an experience. The bartender gave an explaination for the steak mentioning that it came from the owner's farm in australia along with detailing the difference between Japanese waygu and australian waygu. I was allowed to select my steak knife beforehand. I've never been given that option before so I took what the server recommended. Along with the steak, I had tater tots and a few different bread options. Everything was delicious. I could definitely see myself becoming a regular here for an evening of nice food and well-made drinks. read more

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. read more

Atlas makes for a great date night or special-occasion meal. The interior is beautiful and intimate, the service was good at the food was excellent. We opted for a la carte selections instead of the tasting menu. The highlights were the truffle pillows (unforgettable,) peppered venison, english peas, and apple tatin. We also tried the Dover Sole, but the presentation was lackluster and the flavor was just okay. The drinks were good as well, and our server was helpful in making recommendations for drinks that would make a good mocktail. I'd love to come back and try some of their other menu items. read more

It was our anniversary and we were running late for our reservation... I totally freaked out and was afraid that I would not be able to make it! There were no more online reservations so I called in a panic and they assured me that my table would be waiting for me and to drive safely! This made my heart so happy as it's been a dream of mine to dine at a Michelin star restaurant. When we arrived at the St. Regis, the valet was quick and professional. We took the elevator to the second floor and walked into Atlas. The lighting was dark, but felt sophisticated, and the front of the house was extremely welcoming, and everyone wished us a happy anniversary. We were seated and we met Andre who was our waiter for the evening. Andre explained the tasting menu and assured us that the items would be substituted due to my husband being a pescatarian and a non-pork eater. My husband wanted to live on the 'culinary' edge that night and informed Andre that he will eat everything on the menu with the exception of pork. I thought to myself this is going to be epic! We settled in with some classic cocktails, me having the holy smokes and my husband having the spicy margarita. As our adventure was about to start I couldn't tear my eyes away from the staff and how precise they all were. From walking to cutting corners, to pouring with one hand behind their backs and never letting your glass get to 1/2 way empty...I was fascinated! Having a full view of the kitchen I got to see some of the magic. Singing from the open kitchen was "YES CHEF!!" & "HANDS PLEASE!" I literally felt like I was inside of a Food Network episode and I loved every minute of it. Now on to the food...It was the reason we were here. The tasting menu had many courses and every dish that hit the table made your tastebuds dance & your vision sparkle with the exquisite plating and creativity. The flavors of each dish were in sync, well balanced, and extremely cravable. Yes, the plates are small, but the deliciousness will have you scraping and wanting more and before you can blink, your next course is placed right in front of you to start the experience all over again! Yelp family...This was special. Prior to bringing out the lamb dish, they let you choose your own personal knife from a case of knives with each handle and blade having its own story told by Andre. 2 1/2 hours later the experience was ending and not only was I extremely satisfied, but my heart was full and I was impressed. Thank you Atlas for making my wedding anniversary dinner magical! read more

I'm not sure where to start with this review. The good news is this was a co-birthday dinner with a dear friend and our party of 4 made the best of it because we had each other's company. I have had the privilege of dining at many Michelin stars. This experience did not deserve one. 1) No coat check. So I had to share my chair with my full length coat at a purported fine dining restaurant. 2) I made the reservation on Nov 28 for dinner on December 14. We were seated in the bar. We inquired about being moved to the dining room but were told we could not be accommodated. We asked if we could have done something different when booking the reservation to indicate we wanted to be seated in the dining room for the chef's tasting experience. We were told the dining room is first come, first served and we should have known we booked a busy Saturday night. Well then you should indicate in the reservation system that we would be seated in the bar for a greater than $2k dinner experience. 3) The sommeliers were a bright spot in the experience, especially the one whose name I cannot recall who recently worked at Miller Union. 4) The food was well done, however was not what I would call an exceptional culinary experience. It was beautifully presented, but some of the flavors fell flat. The highlights were the venison course and waygu supplement. 5) The service was adequate. Not as polished or as well timed as I've experienced at other Michelin restaurants. If you are looking for a real Michelin experience in Atlanta, please go to Lazy Betty. Or maybe try this place on a non Saturday and ensure you are seated in the proper dining room. read more

Atlas, located in St. Regis, is an upscale, swanky restaurant that has a very popular tasting menu. (They have an a-la-carte menu too but when I looked around, it seemed everyone was doing the tasting menu!) The service was very personal and the food tasted great with great presentation. It's pricy, as expected from anything in St. Regis. We went in October and this was the tasting menu we received: Course 0: Amuse Bouche The amuse bouche here was some small bites provided from the kitchen - a foie gras cookie with jam, some homemade chip with homemade dipping, a soft and crispy cracker with some beet powder salt and a small ball of deliciousness I can't remember exactly what it was. Everything was amazing and made me so excited of what's to come next. Course 1: Kristal Caviar It does seem like if you want a Michelin star, then some form of caviar must be on the menu. I love caviar, so I'm not complaining. This is served with otoro (the under-belly inside the tuna), and ponzu creme. The ponzu creme is in the middle there. The flowers tasted like chocolate. The caviar was below the first flower, and tuna was below the second flower. I'm not sure how I was supposed to eat this whole thing but it was delicious. Course 2: A Waldorf Salad of Sorts This was a deconstructed Waldorf salad, and they poured liquid nitrogen on top to create a beautiful white smoke. Everything in this salad was heavenly and I loved the presentation. Course 3: Squash They called this course Squash, but clearly there's more lobster than squash here, but who's complaining? There was also sea buckthorns in here and some kind of emulsion. Delicious. Course 4: Hen's Egg This course was a hen's egg, served with parsley, morels, and a pastry made with truffles. The two funny looking things towards the back of the photo is the pastry. The hen's egg had the colors of a century egg, sitting in a gravy type of sauce. The inside of the egg was soft. I dipped the bread in the gravy. My mouth is currently watering as I'm typing this because it was SO good. This was one of my favorite dishes of the night. Course 5: Poached Halibut When I first saw the halibut presented in a biscuit shape, I wasn't sure what to think of it, but once I took a stab at it, I realized it was actually very soft and tender. This came with beets three ways - pickled, fresh, and powdered. There was also some finger lime and regular lime in it. I never knew what finger lime was until I started dining at these restaurants recently. They call it the poor man's caviar, and it is so fitting. If you ever get your hands on some finger lime, try it. I loved this course. Course 6: Westholme Wagyu Westholme Wagyu is from Australia and turned out to be the only dish I was disappointed in in the night. The beef was very tender as expected but it was also very fatty. I've enjoyed Wagyu beef from Japan and Georgia and they've never been so greasy. I'm glad this beef wasn't too large because I could barely finish it without feeling nauseous. This was served with pickled watermelon, pickled onion, and a few other condiments. We were instructed to cut up the beef and eat each bite with an accompaniment which did help cut down how greasy the meat was. Cheese Course Now we were presented with an optional cheese course. I don't eat cheese so I was not interested in it. I did enjoy the presentation and the server was very knowledgeable about the cheese that was on display. Course 7: Lime, Vanilla, Pineapple This was our first dessert of the night and it came in a wine glass. This was delicious and not too sweet or too strong of any flavor. I loved the combination of everything in here. Course 8: FM Rocher Similar to a Ferrero Rocher, the FM Rocher is named after the culinary director and chef, Freddie Money. Taste like a Ferrero Rocher with vanilla, hazelnut and chocolate, this was absolutely amazing. When you crack open the ball, the inside spills onto the delicious crunches below, covers them in a chocolate and hazelnut glaze. Very good. Mignardise Last course was an assortment of mignardises such as gummy bears, mini ice cream cone, and some chocolates. We were pretty full at this point and didn't finish all the little candies but what we did try were great! Congratulations to Atlas on earing a Michelin star and I think it's well deserved. read more

We stopped by this place looking a night cap after having an underwhelming experience at Garden Room and we are so happy we did! Sat the bar and greeted with water and the menu. They had a longer list of cocktails including their signatures and what they call their "legendary" cocktails. We had: · Rosemary & Autumn: Batch gin, lillet, apple cider vinegar, fall spices, rosemary. The fall spices are not overwhelming at all (which is what my husband was worried about) and the rosemary garnish really offers a great scent right before you take a sip. · Jardin Des Rosa: Clase Dragones Tequila, elderflower, strawberry syrup, jalapeno, lime oleo. Sometimes I'm a bit hesitant when it comes to jalapeno in cocktails because it is such a strong flavor but this was well balanced. It was a touch bit sweet but not enough to the point where I had to stop drinking it. Enjoyed all the flavors that came together. My favorite part about this was seeing how much the bartender, Joe, cared about his craft. He answered our questions about ingredients and really took the time to explain the drinks and their profiles. He even made an experimental cocktail on the house based on our preferred flavors and it was AMAZING! The drinks are beautiful and I really enjoyed my experience here. Will definitely be back read more

The food here is simply amazing - worthy of a Michelin star. We ate off of the a la carte menu and everything was great. Cheese dish, soap, and lamb ragu dinner. The ambiance is also fantastic - very upbeat. The chef is British and likes to have British rock played in the restaurant. I really enjoyed Bronson beat, the Clash, Coldplay, etc. Super fun. The service is also outstanding but our waiter rushed dinner and was intrusive with too much "checking on us". When dinner was over, the bill came instantly. This is the reason I docked them a star. I'd come again for sure but maybe just sit at the bar for dinner next time. read more

The restaurant is in the same plaza with Chop Lobster Bar, Umi, and such. Thus, for parking, you can valet in front of the Chop Lobster Bar and Atlas will validate your ticket. From the valet, you can walk up the outdoor stairs or use the elevator right next to it to go to Atlas. Another entrance is to enter from the St. Regis hotel go up to the second floor for the restaurant. I made the reservation for my birthday 3 weeks ahead. It was my first time here: delicious food, nice decor and ambience, and wonderful service. My only "complain" is the only entree I want to order from the menu which is the lobster dish it sold out. Our server explained that ere was a big party earlier and every of them order lobster as their entrees. What can I say except my ancestors don't want me to be able to eat my favorite food for my birthday. T^T Our server was excellent and attentive. He has a good knowledge of the menu and notes all my allergy to the chefs. Since there's no more lobster, I had to order fish (that's the only seafood entree left in the menu). It turned out I didn't enjoy the dish as much. It was good but it just doesn't feel so right with me and our server was nice enough to take it off the bill for our table. We had: Appetizers: Oysters Rockefeller, Caesar Salad, Winter Salad Entrees: Black Truffle Pillows, Filet Mignon, and Poached Cod Desserts: Hazelnut Chocolate Sphere: Raspberry, Vanilla Ice Cream and complimentary birthday Chocolate Cake in a torched Meringue All the food is really good. I love the virgin cocktail that they custom made to my request, and the complimentary birthday cupcake! Their Hazelnut Chocolate Sphere dessert is also very unique, and give a pleasant surprise to the tastebud. Overall, we had a great experience and went home with happy tummy! read more

I wish I could give this place 3.5 stars. To start, the decor is beautiful and feels very luxurious. The bar is warm and inviting and the cocktails were really well done. The old fashioned (not even the smoked variety on the menu) was one of the best we have had in recent memory. The seafood tower was plentiful and delicious. The crab was my personal favorite. We did four courses, starting with the beef tartare, then the ravioli, I had the fish and my husband had the wagyu, and then we got the rocher and the crème brûlée. The tartare was tasty but not outstanding, though it was the single largest dish of the evening. The ravioli was probably my favorite savory dish. The fish was solid and I really enjoyed the shellfish sauce but I wasn't knocked out. The wagyu was delicious and perfectly done, but was an exceptionally small portion. The desserts were both excellent. The service started out incredible but the level fell off a bit as dinner went on. Overall it was an enjoyable experience but not what I would expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. It's probably not worth the price tag to most. read more

It's outrageously snobbish, with enough attitude to turn your stomach even before you sit at the bar. The sniffy maître d borders on the obnoxious. But this jives with everything about the St. Regis Hotel, where the service is beyond abysmal in beautiful surroundings - although the Atlas restaurant is a separate venture. Once seated, things pick up a little. My first time here got off to a bad start when the bartender served me a $39 glass of French wine without first telling me how much it cost. I eventually got it taken off the bill, but wow! This time, I made sure how much everything cost and spent a fortune, but at least I knew what I was spending my money on. Again, I commenced with a slightly less expensive Chablis, which hit the spot. The two gentlemen behind the bar, all in black, are more welcoming than those at the door and knowledgeable about food and wine. I started with a delicious salad, which could have been a meal. It was so tasty and inventive that I was hugging myself with satisfaction. Satiated, I should have stopped there, but I ordered the $90 turbot fish, which was barely present and just OK. The coffee was good. What can I say? Like many high-end restaurants, this place leaves a lot to be desired. When it delivers, it delivers. But it fails to deliver in so many ways. I will return for one last try before returning to LA in July. My advice is that if you are in this area, go to Lucian's across the street. It's very expensive but has better food and service.

Atlas is a culinary masterpiece that excels in every aspect. Expect unmatched service and exquisite cuisine in a warm, elegant ambiance. I'm a relatively frequent cocktail consumer at the bar - finally decided to arrange for a proper meal after witnessing gorgeous plates sitting on nearby tables during every visit. The staff is a massive differentiator from other fine dining. Every interaction you have from your first step inside will demonstrate that management has invested a great deal of effort into assembling a lovely, professional and exceedingly knowledgable team that is eager to create a memorable experience. Our server (I believe his name was Chris) detailed every menu selection we were interested in with ease. Our only regret was that we failed to arrive hungrier! The miniature starters were a treat, and nearly too beautiful to eat. Foie gras between thin crackers, a bite of gazpacho, and a crunchy octopus shaped puff with a dipping sauce that leaves you awe struck. The seafood tower was one of, if not the best, I've ever had. A perfect blend of lobster, oysters, shrimp and carpaccio. Fresh, flavorful and perfectly portioned. We will be back for the tasting menu next time! read more

My family came here for my graduation dinner in May 2022. The restaurant is elegant. The amuse bouchées were each so different but gave our taste buds a ride. I really enjoyed my sole entree as I don't normally order seafood but wanted something lighter than meat or pasta. And to top it off, they surprised us with two dessert courses! Definitely for special occasions. read more

For my birthday, my wife took me here as this was on her list for a long time and this would be a perfect time to try this place out. To get straight to the point, it was pretty good and I'll give you an idea of what it was like. First things first. Parking. There's a parking deck behind the hotel (as Atlas is essentially a high class hotel restaurant). The parking rate start from $6, and increments up to $20ish or so dollars depending on how long you're there for. There's also valet if you're up for it, that I didn't find out because to be honest a little nice walk to the restaurant was fine with me. Once you step in the hotel, you travel either by the elevator it's going to be the 4th floor and on the right once you exit the elevator. If you're going up on the stairs, it's literally the next floor up and then turn to the left and walk down the hall and it's on your right. I believe the other restaurant that shares the hotel is called The Garden Room which might be another place to maybe try out. However, this was our visit to Atlas. What did we decide to eat? You have two options: A la carte, or the chef's tasting menu. The chef's tasting menu is going to set you back $210/person, but with that you get pretty much a 7/8 course meal. In addition they give you some tastings/samples of things they're working on small little bites. What was on the menu this time around? We had these dishes during our tasting: Caviar, Gazpacho, Scallops, Lobster Fettucini, Halibut, Westholme Wagyu, Blood Orange, and ending on the Hazelnut Chocolate Sphere. Unknowingly, I also had a chocolate cake as a second dessert, as it was a small birthday gift from the restaurant. How was my experience? I would say it was an experience. If you're looking for a fine dining experience, this was definitely one. The staff was nice and helpful in guiding us as far as what we wanted to try out. The experience for the chef's tasting was about 3 hours, so if you're looking to do that, expect that it will take that long for the whole experience. The food was great. Different flavors from seafood to meat, I liked how the Chef was able to blend different profiles along with mixtures of savory, sour, and sweetness. There were some dishes that were okay, but to be honest the price you're paying is some food, but a lot of it was presentation by the staff. I mean, one of the courses dealt with liquid nitrogen and my wife pointed out that it wasn't really stored in a safe manner/approved container, so maybe to make sure staff doesn't get hurt they should probably change that. But as I was writing, liquid nitrogen to dehydrate basil and other herbs to be mashed up to be mixed in with a blood orange sorbet. So overall, Atlas was definitely an experience that if you get the chance to try you should. This is what's expected as fine dining though, and I think Atlas did a very good job at portraying that. I would definitely recommend this place if you're into that type of scene, otherwise I would skip it and go for whatever you like, but for the foodies this is definitely a place that should be marked down to check out. read more

Dropped by NYE with some friends while we were early for a dinner reservation. The hostess let us sit at the bar and get some drinks. A few of us ordered the Jardin des Rosa which was SO good. A very sweet syrupy flavor with a rose petal on top. Probably one of the most delicious cocktails I've had. The inside decor was also so warm and cozy like a luxurious library. The bartenders were also incredibly friendly. Definitely stop by! read more

Atlas - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been to Atlas twice. One was B.Y. (before Yelp), but lucky for you, I did review it on Google Maps, so my original review is below. I had rated it 5 stars, but now changing to 4 stars. Updated (4/2021): We had reservations for 2 at 7:30 pm on a Saturday night. Waiters were wearing masks and gloves. Masks are required when not at your table. It's dark inside, definitely sets the mood. Some people were wearing suit jackets, but there were others in jeans. Basically, you can make it as fancy as you want. Service: Both times, service has been on point. They're so attentive. There is literally a person who just brings you fancy knives. Drinks: Holy Smokes (x2), Toasted Sidecar, The Elephant and the Dove (I recommend asking for a straw because of the nugget ice), and The Nighthawk (all $16). We liked all of them. It's fun that before the appetizers and after dessert, they bring you little bites from the chef. I couldn't understand all the fancy things they were saying, but they were good. Get all the types of bread they bring to try all of them! The bread is super good. Food changes seasonally, so it's very likely they won't be offering this same menu when you go. But anyway, food: - Oyster ($19): Medium-sized; nothing out of this world - Hamachi Crudo Avocado ($28): Very good - White Asparagus ($35): Apparently, the white asparagus is overnighted from France; the sauce was really delicious, but it could have also been over normal asparagus and would've been just as good - Calotte Steak ($85): Super good; the sauce was fantastic - Milk Fed Lamb Rack ($55): Once again, the sauce made the dish - Hazelnut Chocolate Sphere ($18): Cool presentation, but it was just eh - Peanut Butter Composition ($18): The peanut butter ice cream was heaven Overall, it just wasn't as good as last time. It's still a fun experience and a nice outing to get dressed up for. Original (4/2018): Best meal I've ever had. Even the bread was outstanding--sourdough, soft pretzel, and cheddar, with locally made butter. Drinks: Cocktail a la Louisiane, Bees & Berries, Totleigh Towers. Appetizers: Truffle Potato Pierogi Dumplings, Black Truffle & Mushroom Agnolotti. Entrees: Atlas Steak (Black Angus Filet), Hazelnut Sweet Potato Ravioli with Brussels Sprouts. The ravioli was definitely the better dish--the flavors were magnificent. Cannot recommend the ravioli enough. The service at Atlas was spectacular. Go to Atlas for the best meal you'll ever have. read more
