For a place that wants to set their prices as high as they are we were very disappointed with our time here.
Walking in the kitchen is open to the restaurant that is only a few tables which is not the issue. But with it being open being able to see into the kitchen and the chefs there was very unappealing. It was messy and dark. The kitchen staff wore rock band t-shirts with backwards hats and baggy jeans. The restaurant itself is dull and has old peeling paint clearly done for whatever was this restaurant before, give an old car garage feel while sitting. Instead of new paint; giant odd art was thrown up in what seemed to be the very lowest of effort in giving this place “atmesfir”.
We tried to over look this very initial reaction in hopes the food and service would make up for it. We ordered two drinks and I ordered the steak and my husband ordered the fish. Our drinks were beautiful and tasted excellent. But what made this such a sad experience was I put the drink down a little less than half full in hopes of finishing the rest after some food. The waitress without asking me, took my drink and dumped it before I could even register what happened. We let her know I was not done with the drink she just dumped out and she did offer to make me another “half” batch. After not asking if I was finished and dumping my $15 dollar drink the least she could have done was offer me another full drink. I said no.
Our food comes about 45 minutes after ordering. My steak was almost all fat and nearly inedible. The pieces I could eat were good. My husband did say the fish was good it was served with large chunks of carrots and potatoes. Again for the price they are wanting to charge for these dishes they were very basic and did not have the finesse you would hope to find in a $50-$60 plate. With my steak being 12oz but (estimated about 9oz of fat) on top of my drink getting thrown away without my permission , the terrible overall look of the decor, and the staff in much need of a proper clean uniform this place was not worth the almost $200 we spent to dine here. We will not be back and I unfortunately will not be recommending it to anyone. The few people we have mentioned our experience to were also not impressed with the place when they tried it. I truly hope some changes to help this place live up to the name and prices they are wanting to project happen.

The food is great, but their reservations system is the worst. I called and left a message requesting a table at a date 11 days out; they called back and left me a message giving me two options, and asked me to call back to confirm. I called back right away with my preferred time, and again left a message, but never heard back. Of course, when we arrived they told me they had no record of my reservation. What an insane reservation system, and how disrespectful it felt to schedule out a very special dinner almost two weeks in advance, only to have the restaurant drop the ball! We ended up at Torme, where we had a wonderful $400 dinner.

Food is terrible. Rice wasn't even chewable, green beans were mushy, crab cake (singular) was small enough to take one bite and super salty. INCREDIBLY overpriced for no reason. Only good thing between out 2 plates was the unseasoned grouper. The asthetic is confusing. Anywho.....AZ Roadhouse was SUPERIOR to this spot. So sad about it too. It was date night. Oh well.

I had a shrimp dish. It was tasty but I've had better. The service was adequate and the atmosphere non existent.

Love coming here! The food is delicious and quality! Love the small/simple concept. I think the layout and decor could be improved if they wanted to really go above and beyond, but I still enjoy it how it is. The cocktails don’t knock our socks off, but the food does!

Our first experience at Atmesfir was quite excellent. The small, 8 (?) table venue is a bit on the noisy side when full, but it’s great to see the chefs at work in the open kitchen. I think the chefs and servers could have some fun with customer engagement if they were so inclined to lean into that vibe :)
The menu varies seasonally but generally seems to focus on quality cuts of meat and seafood, with a few small plates. The high prices are consistent with a small upscale dinner venue, but the portion sizes are very generous.
My husband and I shared the caramelized onion tart to start. The pastry was flaky and buttery and delicious, and the topping lightly sweet and delicate. I had the filet mignon - my only critique is that it came out medium-medium well instead of medium rare as I ordered. I shared this with our server who did offer to refire one, but I did not want to see the meat go to waste, as the flavor was still excellent. Perfect seasoning and, if that was how you prefer your meat cooked, you would have zero complaints! (I will say it was a slight missed opportunity for service to cover the mistake with a free drink or dessert.) The mushrooms, shallots, and asparagus on the side of the filet were amazing, but the potato espuma stole the show. I was obsessed and would happily eat bowls and bowls of this!
My husband had the lamb medium rare, and his was cooked to perfection and flavored amazingly.
For dessert the strawberry ice cream was great. The coulis in particular was delicious, the ice cream itself not the creamiest I’ve ever had, but the strawberry flavor really came forward , and we enjoyed it very much.
All in all, super minor critiques for a wonderful dinner. We will be back!

Outstanding Food quality, presentation, customer service and everything was cooked perfectly. Definitely a gem in Prescott. My compliments to the chef(s). Usually upscale cuisine like this is only found in the larger cities and Europe. Highly recommend!

What a gem in Prsecott AZ! Service was excellent and the food was even better. Small dining area - about 6 4-top tables and a few seats at the bar so make a reservation! I requested one of the alcoholic drinks to be made non-alcoholic and it was excellent! 4 stars because the music was very loud - it was difficult to hear each other at our table of 4. I asked them to turn it down a bit and they did but it seemed the volume kept creeping up. Probably I am just old lol.
