Memorable Experience with Delicious Vegetarian Dishes
I finally stopped in after walking past this place many times. The experience was truly memorable. The ambiance was clean and cozy, and the service was amazing. I loved watching the kitchen magic happen while sitting at the bar. I ended up trying 2 vegetarian dishes and absolutely loved them. It was a lovely experience, and I'm already looking forward to returning.

Exceptional Vegetarian Food, Worth the Wait
My experience at this restaurant was truly outstanding. I had the best meal I have had in Seattle. Every dish was executed to perfection, with flawless presentation and rich, layered flavors. I have never tasted vegetarian food with this much depth, and every plate impressed us. The only downside was the wait time. Even with a reservation, we waited about 45 minutes, likely due to a busy Friday evening. However, the restaurant handled it well and made up for the delay. I walked in feeling slightly frustrated but left completely satisfied by the meal. Because of that, I could not bring myself to deduct any points. We will definitely be back.

Exceptional Dining Experience!
I absolutely loved this restaurant! I don't recall ever enjoying the appetizers as much as I did in quite some time. Their Battle of the Burgundy with a starting champagne/bubbly flight was fantastic. I opted for the blind option of the two glasses each course and managed to get 2 out of the 3 correct. I was shocked an OR chadonnay had more complexity in taste than one from France. The rest of the meal was amazing; we ended up ordering all their mains and two of their sides. In hindsight, we should have ordered some of their sides for veggies or carbs. Looking forward to the next time. It's comparable to Copine but much closer for us.

Staffing Issues Prevented Food Service
We sat down briefly as walk-ins, but were then told that they didn't have enough staff to serve food for where we were seated. It seems like a serious establishment and the food is probably decent, but perhaps there are some manpower/management issues? I will update if I ever get a chance to try again.

An Unforgettable Dream at Atoma
My experience at Atoma was nothing short of a dream. Chef Johnny's culinary expertise is evident in every dish. I had the pleasure of attending a private event with a set menu, and each item was incredible. The flavors, the sauces, and the textures were perfectly balanced. The ambiance of dining in an old house transformed into a restaurant added to the magical experience. The staff was exceptionally kind, making me feel right at home. I am eagerly looking forward to returning!

Michelin-Worthy Experience!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely amazing. I can't believe they aren't a Michelin-star establishment! The grilled cucumber dish was surprisingly delicious, and the crudos were phenomenal. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect score of 5, indicating an outstanding dining experience. With a wait time of up to 10 minutes and a price point of $100+ per person, it offers a high-quality experience for a group of 3-4 people.

Great Small Bites and Kitchen Views
We arrived at 4: 30 PM and were fortunate to secure a table at the bar counter, right by the kitchen. There are only four seats there, offering a fantastic view of the kitchen's action and the bar. While other bar seating is available, it lacks the kitchen view. The small bites were surprisingly generous in portion size. I particularly enjoyed the beef tartare and found the rosette cookie to be a delightful surprise. The cocktail was delicious, though on the pricier side. For entrees, we tried the lamb roulette and the black cod, both of which were good. However, if I were to return, I'd opt for more appetizers, enjoying them tapas-style for greater variety. The potatoes (spuds) were tasty and very filling, perhaps a bit too much for two people. We appreciated the complimentary dessert bite at the end, as we were too full to order dessert.

Good Food, Mixed Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The Rosetta cookies were legit, and I really enjoyed them. I ordered the Beef Coullotte and spuds; the beef was good, and the sides that came with it were delicious, especially the crispy potatoes. My only suggestion for the potatoes is to cut them a little smaller. Overall, I didn't love the "house" atmosphere. Parking was available on the street, but I'm unsure about other options. The service was excellent, rated a 5 out of 5.
