Atlas Atlanta Reviews
For being a Michellin 1 star it fell short, service was
For being a Michellin 1 star it fell short, service was good and attentive. The food was not up to par, the flavors didn't mesh well. They had hints of excellence but the overall experience fell short. I going to plenty and this by far was the least favorite. 2/10
Let me just start off by saying I wasn't expected to be
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.
Everything was absolutely top tier.
I got engaged yesterday afternoon my now fiancé took me here last night to celebrate with our families! The food was absolutely incredible- everything was a combination of flavors I had never experienced. Our server was absolutely incredible. We had a private room and Atlas made my special day even more incredible!!
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.
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
Great Experience
My wife and I visited here recently and had the tasting menu. The multi course was really good. We shared (2) of the complementary dishes as well, one was risotto with truffles and wagyu steak. The steak was amassing. Definitely a great place to come for a special occasion or just drink at the bar.

Food, drink and service were excellent! Definitely deserving of their Michelin star. Beautiful restaurant as well.
It's outrageously snobbish, with enough attitude to turn
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. Food: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 4/10
This experience was great.
The service was amazing. I recommend this restaurant. I am not a fan of trying new foods but I did it and enjoyed the experience.
Atlas bar
The food and service were impeccable. We have been to multiple Michelin star restaurants and this was top notch. You don’t have to enjoy the tasting menu at the bar but can enjoy several dishes that are on the tasting menu. Highly recommend.

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.
Unless you like listening to your club playlist at the same
Unless you like listening to your club playlist at the same time as your relaxing dinner playlist the food is not worth it.
Lovely Thanksgiving Meal
Thanksgiving dinner. Pros: Beautiful ambiance, nice offerings for 3 of 5 courses. Food was excellent yet not quite normal standard. Gave a fun turkey to go bag. Cons: service slightly off.
One of the Best Restaurants in the South Today
My wife and I decided to try out Atlas while celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary. It is no exaggeration to say that the charming setting, exceptional fare, and impeccable service were instrumental in making the night as beautiful and memorable as it was. Atlas is without doubt one of the best restaurants in the American South. On the evening that we visited Atlas was hosting a collaboration with The Modern of New York City. Working with the visiting Chef Allan, Chef Money crafted a fantastic 8-course meal which was augmented with two additional supplemental dishes and selections from the cheese chart. Stand-out dishes included poached lobster with basil and tomato, monk fish with foie gras, caviar and egg with mustard egg sauce, four cuts of lamb, and a simple but delightful preparation of wagyu beef. Our appreciation for this meal was greatly augmented by the spectacular service offered by all of the staff. I would like to highlight in particular Andre for his perfect wine recommendation and Tony for his fine attentions throughout the evening. That Chef Allan and Chef Money both came to ask how we enjoyed the meal was greatly appreciated. Atlas also excels in the little details so often ignored or overlooked by other restaurants. Each wine glass was individually selected to suit the vintage. Plating was executed both to highlight the food but also to aid in consumption. We were even offered a selection of specialty knives for the lamb. The space itself is also gorgeous, decorated unobtrusively and tastefully. The pieces from the Lewis collection were especially pleasing to see. And finally, as someone who enjoys dressing well, it was a genuine pleasure to see the staff elegantly attired, and even more impressively, for the reputation of this establishment to have inspired the majority of the clientele to dress up as well. Atlas clearly merits the fine reputation it enjoys. I encourage you to visit for a meal soon!
Humiliation
We humiliated ourselves last night. We went back to Atlas for the Tasting Menu. Two of the courses were a scallop followed by a Halibut course. Somehow or other, my wife and I merged the scallop course with the Halibut course. About that time, we decided to assess where we were on the menu. We became convinced that we never got the Halibut course. The more the staff assured us that we had gotten the Halibut course, the more convinced we became that we had not. We insisted that they serve us the Halibut. Of course, as soon as they re-served the Halibut, we realized that we were wrong. There was no place to hide. Moreover, we must return because Atlas is the best restaurant in Atlanta.
Great News Atlanta
Great News Atlanta We have a real traditional Michelin-starred restaurant in Atlanta. Last fall, Michelin crowned five one-stars: Atlas Lazy Betty Mujo Hayakawa Bacchanalia At the time, Atlas and Bacchanalia were in our rearview, having disappointed us in the past. The others were new to us. We immediately tried Lazy Betty and Hayakawa. We were pleased with both of them. We thought Lazy Betty was great at its original location in Candler Park. But it was just too hard to reach. Lazy Betty moved to Midtown, and it went down hard. If it had been inspected the night we went to the midtown location on May 31, 2024, it would have lost its star. But let’s get back to Atlas. We finally got back to Atlas on June 15, 2024, to see if it had changed since we had been there about seven years ago. Boy had it changed. They remodeled and got rid of the uncomfortable banquette seating that we always got stuck in seven years ago. They also got a new Chef who is at the top of the pyramid skill wise—and charming to boot. But what makes Atlas great is the combination of its service and its food. Service, though, is where Atlas leaves Lazy Betty in the dust. Lazy Betty does not have adequate service standards to deserve a star. I hope they correct that (and turn down the damn music). We have put Atlas on our once-a-month list. Realistically, in the real world, that probably means we will visit 5 to 8 times a year. We are retirees, and we travel 70-110 days a year. We call ourselves Star Collectors and to collect Stars, you must travel. Moreover, our once-a-month is growing. In the past month and a half, we have been to seven different starred-restaurants, and we are booked at the Moss Restaurant in Iceland next week which will make eight in under two months. Admittedly, that isn’t a normal pace. But there are 37 different restaurants on our star resume, many of which we have visited several times (9-3*s, 9-2*s. and 19-1*s). I can never give any details on the courses. We always get the pairings and by the end of a multi-course meal it makes a difference. But we doubled down, last night. We ordered the Caviar addon, and in my opinion, straight frozen vodka is the correct “pairing” for Caviar—so we did. Although, as I like to joke, if you pay enough money for it, YOU WILL EAT IT AND YOU WILL LIKE IT—got it? Besides, I am sure Atlas’ menu changes frequently. Everything we ate was outstanding. We still need to visit Mujo. Given the AMAZING turnaround at Atlas, we also have to get back to Bacchanalia and find out whether its star is a sign of another amazing turnaround.
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. Don’t 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
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.
