    Certainly not a cheap place to eat - but good value. My wife has severe food allergies - which were accommodated without issues. Our appetizer came out slow - but it may have been because we were the first people or ? Whatever, we did see that everyone else's appetizers came out in a timely fashion so it was something with our specific situation. I did order my steak black and blue - which is really difficult for a kitchen to make if it's not a true steak house. I regularly receive that type of order as not black, not blue or (usually) neither black nor blue. In this case I got black and medium rare - which is really the closest I have ever gotten. It was very tasty. Kudos to the kitchen. My wife's salmon was very good (with her non-cruciferous vegetables). We had the lemon dessert which was the highlight of the evening. Service was unobtrusive but attentive. Overall a fine dining experience - and we will return

    From the moment we stepped through the door until we left the service was very attentive. They do not rush your meal time. We received a complimentary glass of procesco. The mussel appetizer was delicious tasting & enough for 2 to share. Our mains were just as delicious. And we had enough room to share the lemon dessert which was the perfect ending. Lovely evening. We will return.

    My husband and I visited Atelier for his birthday. Everything about the restaurant and Matt himself was phenomenal. Beautiful space, Michelin worthy food - an amazing find. Thank you Matt, we'll definitely be back.

    We were very underwhelmed at our food for the price! My food was charred and bitter and the difficult to eat. I had such high hopes for my meal and this spot.
