Back again! Another great meal at Atlas Fare. I'm already thinking about what to order next time we're back. Nice to see the place busy, too! Service was great and attentive. I wish I saved room for dessert. The truffle fries with Parmesan were a big hit with everyone especially our three year old grandson.

When visiting Central Washington State, make sure to check out the variety of local restaurants, especially Atlas Fare ( @atlasfare ). It's located in downtown Wenatchee, which is the heart of Washington's Wine Country. They offer a great menu, with a modern Asian twist. My favorite dishes have always been the Shrimp N' Grits (with Thai Chili Jam), their fresh tasting Shrimp Ceviche and you cannot leave without trying one of their sweet treats! The Bananas Foster Pudding was a delightful bread pudding with yummy caramel, plus sugar coated banana. It was the perfect way to round out our flavor-filled dinner. ‍ #AtlasFare #WenatcheeWA #downtown #CentralWA #modern #AsianFusion #ShrimpNGrits #desserts #cocktails #finedining #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses Instagram : @NelzLovesIt

Not sure where to start, from the $15 lettuce bowl "Caesar salad", to the remarkably flavorless halibut, to the overly sweet and syrupy paper crane cocktail - this place was a let down. For being the most upscale restaurant in the city, I'd expect much more for the price tag. Certainly not a 45 min wait for entrees. Our server was very kind and the plating of the food looked nice, but every dish we ordered lacked flavor, even the overly hard bread. The ambiance felt sterile and had a confusing design style. The open layout gave no privacy to the tables and caused the entire dining room to be quite loud. Overall, I would not suggest visiting if you're looking for a higher end meal. Overpriced, bland, and lacked a vibe-y atmosphere.

Many of my family and friends had already been to Atlas Fare and had nothing short of wonderful things to say about it. When we walked in, we were promptly seated in a very dimly lit, but still very cozy dining room. The general lack of light reminded me of an upscale steakhouse, but the plain-looking cutlery, standard glassware, and very minimal decor still helped me feel comfortable in the restaurant. My table ordered the Steamed Clams for our appetizer, and I was quite happy with them! They weren't as briny as some of the other clams I've had, and the meat was very supple and tender, not chewy like clams can be sometimes. The broth was also wonderful! It wasn't the traditional butter, white wine, caper broth which I honestly liked, it was sort of a spicy bacon tomato base! The bread was also nice and fresh, with a very nice contrast between the interior and the crispy (not crunchy) crust! I had a glass of hard cider with my meal and I was pleased with that as well! It had a nice balance between the crispness of the apple, the lightness of the C02, and the underlying notes of alcohol. Maybe one of the better ciders I've had in my life! Almost refreshing which isn't always a word I've used for cider. The thing that absolutely wowed me tonight was my entree, the chicken risotto. The rice was beautifully cooked so that it was toothsome without being crunchy, the risotto technique was wonderful with the rice being amazing creamy; it had emulsified wonderfully with the butter, wine, stock, and cheese. The two chicken thighs I was served were prepared very classically. Seared skin-side down to get a crunch, seasoned fairly aggressively at the end, and presented in such a way that while they were the main protein, they played their role in such a way that they didn't detract from the side characters (the rice and peas) The one thing I had a slight issue with was the Mousse at the end. There was almost as much whipped cream in the dish as chocolate. Such a small complaint, but I just felt like it did hinder my enjoyment of an otherwise immaculate dessert. Overall, Atlas Fare is something everyone needs to experience many times. With the prices they charge on the menu however, I can't justify more than 2 or 3 visits a year. If their prices would just come down a tiny bit (my risotto was $38), I would be able to recommend it even more than I am right now. It's still absolutely a 5 star experience, but one that should be reserved for birthdays, special get-togethers, or entertaining anyone you really feel like spoiling.

Great vibe! Server Lupita is the best...quite attentive and friendly! Food is TOP NOTCH! Beef melts in your mouth. Halibut fresh!

OVERALL: 9/10 (Yelp Converted Score: 4.5/5). Definitely one of the top places to hit up in Wenatchee, if you're in the area and in the mood for some good eats. My partner and I were luckily slotted in immediately after we showed up without a reservation on a super-busy Saturday night (was charging my Tesla at the nearby Pybus Central Market), and a reservation cancelled just before we walked in. I'm grateful we at least tried to come to this place, because it was on the list of one of my partner's classmates, and we weren't able to go last time due to scheduling / party size. We arrived after a half day of skiing, and having only eaten a late breakfast, we were noticeably hungrier than your average guest. 1) VARIETY/SELECTION: 9/10. The cocktail selection was a simple page, and the overall food menu was basically a single-sided foolscap paper. The sections are simple but descriptive: small plates (appetizers), sides (they're bigger than the price would imply), "entrees" (split into garden, land, and sea), and "dessert". We never got to the dessert stage, but between the two of us, we ordered (Atlas Punch and the Paris 75 cocktails, to start): 1. Truffle Wontons ($10) 2. Shrimp Ceviche ($14) 3. Truffle French Fries ($6) 4. Bread & Olive oil ($5) 5. Mushroom Risotto ($25) 6. Pan Seared Sea Scallops ($38) 2) FRESHNESS: 8.5/10. Scallops were decent, risotto was slightly oversalted, the cocktails were BOTH INCREDIBLE, the sides were fantastic (the bread with oil/vinegar was addicting and I basically ate all of it since my partner almost got full just eating it), and the appetizers were decent, but not particularly memorable (the truffle wontons were actually my favourite; the "chips" that came with the ceviche were bland and dry). 3) VALUE FOR MONEY: 9/10. The sides are INCREDIBLE value for money in terms of portion size - especially the fries and the bread with oil. I think those two on their own could be a meal for a normal human. 4) SERVICE: 9.5/10. The recommendations were fantastic and the overall service was stellar - they cleared plates, refilled water, and checked on us at least once for every "course" (appetizer and main). 5) CONSISTENCY / FIRST IMPRESSION: 9/10. Neither of us were particularly dressed up, but a lot of the other guests were - this place definitely has an upscale / high-end vibe, so take that for what you will. Parking is relatively easy - there's a lot of street parking right next to the restaurant, but keep in mind that the downtown Wenatchee area isn't that populated to begin with, and it's definitely not going to be as busy (even during the weekend) than your regular Seattle watering hole.

Atlas Fare has such amazing food. I am usually not one for fancy dishes, so I didn't have too high of expectations. But the food was divine and well worth the money. We had the wontons, pork chop and beef bourguignon as well as some cocktails. Delicious drinks and food! The desert was good too. The meal was fabulous and the atmosphere is great. Love the clocks telling different times across the globe. It gives the place a very worldly vibe. We will be back! It is pricey though, but great for a date night. Service is great, the owners are so nice and they even came to our table to check in and say hello.
