Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Chef and co-owner Johnny Courtney cooked at the iconic Canlis for four years before opening this restaurant, which has been dubbed one of the hottest in the country by Eater, Esquire, and the New York Times. In a historic Craftsman home painted moss green, Courtney and his team feature local farmers and fishermen in rustic dishes like rosette cookies with sweet onion jam, Dungeness crab on pain de mie, and glazed maitake mushrooms. Pair it with one of the exciting cocktails or a selection from the wine list that includes plenty of representation from Washington.

  • Indoor Reservation

    Multiple dates available
    Our indoor dining room offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Reservations are seated at the first available table for your group size. If you have guests under 21, please let us know in the ‘Add a special request’ section when booking, as they are unable to be seated in our lounge. We kindly ask that guests arrive on time for their reservation; late arrivals may result in cancellation, and fees may apply. As we have limited waiting space and a small bar for early arrivals, we recommend arriving just on time. We look forward to welcoming you to Atoma!

  • Outdoor Reservation

    Multiple dates available
    Our patio is a lively, outdoor dining experience featuring the same menu as indoors. Outdoor tables are not covered or heated, though most have umbrellas for shade. These seats are weather-dependent and may be canceled without fees if conditions don't allow for outdoor dining and indoor space is unavailable. We offer blankets on cooler days. Please note that early reservations in peak summer may be in direct sun. Outdoor reservations cannot be moved indoors unless you contact us directly. While we love our furry friends, we’re unable to accommodate dogs on the patio. Thank you for understanding!

    The food was creative and delicious. I took the waiters recommendation for the gooey duck radish appetizer, and it was fantastic. Quite unexpected as I’ve never had gooey duck before.

    The service is superb and I do appreciate the creative ideas behind the dishes. But can someone tell me why the chef likes to use so much salt?! Unbelievably salty!
    Atoma SeattleResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback we’re glad you enjoyed the service and creativity behind the dishes. Seasoning is a matter of personal taste, and our team, with over 20 years of experience, seasons to a level that most of our guests enjoy. That said, we're always happy to adjust. If something isn’t to your liking, please don’t hesitate to let us know in the moment we’re more than willing to remake a dish so you can leave happy. We hope to welcome you back and provide an experience better suited to your preferences.

    A real gem. Great food. Very informed, enthusiastic and unprentious service. Outstanding wine program with compact, but very interesting list, and excellent by the glass choices. Our best meal in Seattle. Thank you.

    Atoma received a mixed review from the Seattle Times, despite being a James Beard award finalist. I went with very few expectations, but had a phenomenal meal. Excellent service, warm atmosphere, delicious, innovative dishes - it was a rare experience. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Even though the menu is not expansive, there are enough interesting items that I would definitely consider going again to try some of the dishes we missed. Highly recommended.

    We really enjoyed Atoma. Dishes are unique, carefully crafted with detail and flavor! The drink paring was amazing, not your average run of the mill wines/cocktails. If you're looking for a unique yet tasty experience, I would highly recommend Atoma!

    The food at Atoma is always excellent — I love the creative dishes and the diversity in flavors. The wine list is excellent but we’ve been unlucky both times we’ve been there and the wine we were looking forward to having was sold out. However, the service has some room for improvement. We have dined here twice now, and both times we were seated ~30 min after our original reservation time. In both cases, we waited for about 15 min before being given any sort of update or approached for a drink order.

    Sitting at the bar is fun as you can watch an amazing crew work their magic like clockwork and have instant access to the wonderful bartender and his delightful creations. The food is perfectly conceived, created and executed with seasonal, fresh ingredients. Staff is professional, friendly and helpful. I was in/out in a timely manner and very satisfied.

    Every dish was delicious. Service was outstanding, they were so kind, thoughtful and encouraging about dietary restrictions. We were a large group and I was a bit shy about asking for items that accommodated my restrictions. But, I had told them in advance so they modified a few items for me so I could enjoy each course with my friends.
