Atelier Restaurant Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
We came up n for my husband's birthday.
I let them know ahead of time and upon our arrival there was a birthday card n the table signed by the whole staff. They greeted us and verbally said happy birthday and thanked us for choosing them for his special day. It was a very quiet little place with limited seating. Cara was our server and she had great energy and knowledge about the food and the wine she was serving us. She cleaned up after us after our first course because we dove into the food! All of the food and wine pairing were well thought out and were great! Our favorites were the Thai peanut rutabaga noodles, and the carrot gnocchi. We also loved the rabbit fries, and Brie pancake for dessert! We loved the experience and would Love to come back!

We went on Saturday with a group of 4 and we all had the wine pairing. I've got to start by saying the service and wine pairings were spectacular - it's the food, which should be the star, that fell short. Each course was nothing special and some of them were down right bad. The orecchiette pasta add on was so under cooked it was inedible , although the ragu that covered it was really tasty. The buckwheat pretzel was tasteless and even the butter served with it was bland. For such a hefty price tag ($1700+) we expected so much more. Won't be back and can't recommend.

3.5 stars- A Michelin night at Atelier! November, 2023 We were a group of 4 friends here to celebrate a birthday. It is a 1 Michelin restaurant in Chicago. The vibe of the place exuded cozy and it gave that "homey" feeling. The service was outstanding. We were greeted when we arrived. They took out coats and we were seated at our table facing the window. The inside of the place does not give "Michelin" per say because it supposed to give that homey feeling. One of our friends got the non-alcoholic pairing and one got alcoholic pairing. Two of us decided to share a bottle of Chardonnay which was yummy. The non-alcoholic drinks were amazing. The sommelier explained each drink and how it paired with our food. I'd say the food didn't meet our expectations. Some were amazing and some tasted just average. The steep price tag for this place had set our expectations higher, but we were left somewhat disappointed. We each paid around $300 and we booked this reservation a month in advance. Overall, we had a lovely time here as we spent 2+ hours talking and enjoying our food. We didn't feel rushed at all. We were given the Atelier menu and some chocolates to take home. This was a one time experience.
The food was so scarce.
I actually thought it was a vegetarian place. We finally were served an ounce of octopus which was mediocre but the highlight of the meal. Then we got a beef heart sausage half the size of a Jimmy Dean patty as our final savory dish. A sausage?! Let me tell you this place shouldn't charge half of what they charge. If you have been to Next or Alinea, you will be pissed when you leave here. It's shocking what mediocre restaurants charge now and amateurs go there and think it's great. It's not! It's offensive.
Small restaurant with modern american decor.
Street parking around the area. The staff were amazing and so nice, knowledgeable about the food and drinks. We did the tasting menu with the spirit free pairing. I thought the food portions were acceptable. The appetizers were great as were the desserts. The drinks were great too. Although there were multiple savory courses, my friends and I thought it was still lacking. Overall a great night still.
Emailed the team to share my experience and got a prompt
Emailed the team to share my experience and got a prompt reply which is great - asking if I can come back - provided a date - emailed them 4 times over the course of a month with no reply. Continued disappointment and this time not with the restaurant but the management - specifically Tim Lacey.
Chef Christian Hunter of Atelier popped on my IG trending
Chef Christian Hunter of Atelier popped on my IG trending page when he took over as EC back in the spring. I had never heard of Atelier before, but after doing research, I was excited to learn great things about this Lincoln Square Diamond. I was especially excited because Hunter is a Black chef. I put Atelier on my hit list and was determined to go one day to show my support. Lo and behold, I'm on IG soon after the Michelin awards came out in October and saw it earned a star!!! Wow! Now I was even more determined to get there. Since my birthday was coming up, a friend asked what I would like to do and I immediately said I want to go to Atelier. I checked my work schedule for an off day and asked if he could try to make a res for that day. Within a matter of minutes of trying to coordinate times, 7:00, 7:30 and 8pm reservations were available and immediately disappeared. Finally, he clicked the button in time to nab the last res of that day! Score!!! Furthermore, nothing else was available on my off days. We pull up to Atelier on an extremely cold, Tuesday evening and we're surprised at the modest, neon green sign in the window. The place was clearly small but as we walked in we immediately felt the electric energy circulating throughout the space. I was SO ready. We were greeted by two friendly women one of whom seated us immediately, made us feel welcome and informed us our first libation of the evening was coming soon. We received our first glass of vino and moments later our server told us we were being moved to the table right by the open kitchen in full view of all the magic. Yes!!! Let me just say...glass after glass and course after course, each with a lively story of its origin and inspiration, were equally magical. And because I did my research and knew Chef Hunter came from Connecticut to Chicago, I asked him why he made the move, to which he confidently replied, "Because I wanted a Michelin star." Okaaayyy Chef! Gon witcho bad self! Mission accomplished!!! My experience at Atelier was like going to a friend's dinner party. Atelier's cozy, welcoming vibe was complemented by the smooth, neo-soul grooves floating through the space; the sexy lighting and simple decor; but most importantly, the warm and inviting staff. Observing the other diners, there was no pretension, but true foodies there to experience extraordinary culinary moments. And I was so happy to be one of them.
Amazing spot for a unique dining experience.
The staff is extremely welcoming and the food is divine.
I really wanted to like this place, but the food was a big
I really wanted to like this place, but the food was a big letdown. The restaurant is located in a small, intimate space where Elizabeth used to be. I got the tasting menu with a nonalcoholic-drink pairing. The non-alcoholic drinks were outstanding and very creative. Also, the service was very attentive and quick. Now on to the negatives. The food was all plated well, but it felt uncreative and safe. The flavors were fairly bland and plain. There were no bold flavors or interesting combinations. Somehow, even the churro was bland. It was very airy and tasted mostly like fried dough. Usually, tasting menus will have at least one standout course or item, but atelier didn't have one. I think with some tweaks, this place could be amazing, but, as it is, I don't recommend it.
We went to Atelier for our 10th wedding anniversary
We went to Atelier for our 10th wedding anniversary celebration dinner. It did not disappoint. The service was top notch. Each course took us on a culinary tour around the world but also played well together and told the chef's story. When we made our reservations we didn't book the drink pairing but decided when we got there we would, and it was as a great choice. The pairings were spot on and were different from any food/wine pairings we've previously had. She's got skills. They were highlighting women owned wineries and distilleries and we were happy to support a socially conscious business. Icing on the cake - the playlist was and not your typical fine dining music. All of it combined made it feel like we were invited to a friend's house for dinner. We are so happy we got reservations at this fantastic neighborhood restaurant before reservations become impossible to get. Highly recommend.
Our dining experience at Altelier was absolutely
Our dining experience at Altelier was absolutely incredible! The food is sophisticated, exciting, creative and fun. Plate after plate comes out with elegant service. My favorite part was that you don't know what is coming next. Everything was delicious and our party left trying to figure out what our favorites were. A beautiful space, friendly and attentive staff, and of course, a satisfying meal. A perfect experience!

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been โmatchedโ with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming โbotsโ and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately itโs become like any other โside hustleโ. Donโt waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also donโt pay these fake โgurusโ hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. ๐
