Amazing food and service. We had the tasting menu and it was incredibly tasty and really well thought out. Service was great and really contributed to being able to enjoy the food and understand the vision of the chef. Atmosphere was alright, I expect it will improve as they settle in to their new location.

I really enjoyed the tasting menu. Every dish was very well executed and flavorful. Highlights for me were the Gormeh Sabzi, oxtail with rice and milk bread, farfalle, and the quail and waffles, and looking back on it I really did enjoy everything that was served. The wine pairing was also excellent. Paired well with each dish and overall very flavorful.
The service here is top notch. Very kind and attentive staff. And the atmosphere was nice and lively. Overall, a great experience.

Dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant naturally comes with elevated expectations, especially when it comes to flavor development and culinary complexity. Atelier delivered a solid experience, but one that ultimately felt a bit restrained.
The service was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with confidence, while the wine pairing stood out as a strong addition, enhancing several of the courses nicely.
When it came to the food, each dish was good and thoughtfully prepared, but many courses felt too simple in execution. The flavors were clean and pleasant, yet they often lacked the depth, layering, and progression you hope to experience throughout a tasting menu. With each new course, I kept anticipating a buildup—something bolder, more intricate, or more surprising—but that moment never quite arrived.
The menu did offer an enjoyable journey through different regions, which added variety and interest. Still, while the dishes were well-balanced and enjoyable, they didn’t reach the level of complexity or memorability expected at this level.

From checking in to checking out this was an excellent tasting. We mostly had a vegetarian tasting with one fish option (for me). All the dishes were wonderful and flavored very well. We did not do a pairing because had ordered a bottle of their orange wine which actually paired well with most of the food (the sommelier helped us choose).

Came here for my birthday and was pretty disappointed. The food wasn’t flavorful or well thought out—either too salty or just confusing. They served quail twice, which I didn’t enjoy. Would rather have had beef instead of bison as well, their meats were a bit gamey. The best part was the salad, and that says enough. Staff was okay, but not worth coming back for the food.

This was my second visit to the restaurant and my first at the new location. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations, especially given its Michelin distinction. The dishes felt bland overall, and there was never a moment where the ingredients or execution felt particularly inspired or thoughtfully crafted. Service also fell short, crumbs were left on the table without being cleared, which detracted from the experience. This was especially disappointing, as I truly enjoyed Atelier during my visit to the former location. I had hoped the new space would elevate the experience, but instead it felt like a step back.

I can't say much more than Absolutely Amazing.
The food was delicious and left me wanting more. There were a few dishes that made me question if I was eating what was described to me - in a good way.
The staff were all so helpful and pleasant. They took care to explain everything, answer any questions we had, and to joke around with us and just overall have fun.
The space is not huge which makes everything feel super intimate. The kitchen is open and you can see everyone working diligently but also enjoying themselves. I heard and saw more than one of the people behind the line tast something and state how good it was or how much they liked it.
Will absolutely be back.

Atelier presents thoughtful cooking with a focus on seasonal ingredients, and the menu has some excellent moments. However, pacing was uneven, and a few courses lacked the intensity or character you expect at this level. The service team is friendly and professional, but the overall experience feels more promising than polished. A good restaurant with room to grow — three stars.

One of the best meals of a lifetime. If you go, order the oysters, use the hot sauce, and please order the crispy potato caviar dish if it’s still there— you won’t be disappointed.
Great service and great selection of wine. The ambiance is very intimate, in a close dinning area with open kitchen. Food was presented extremely well. Each dish is a work of art. While there was some wide variety of texture and display of food, I wish the flavor of each dish would be a little bit more powerful than what they are. The reason behind 3 stars is due to the LONGGG dinning experiences had. It took us 4 hours for a dinner and had to miss our after dinner plans.

Hit up Atelier Restaurant for dinner last Saturday in Lincoln Square. I did the tasting menu and splurged on a wine pairing—loved the beet-and-rutabaga courses and that butter-poached whitefish—flavors were poppin’. Vibe felt cozy but elevated, servers were super chill and knew their stuff. Would totally come back.

Atelier in Lincoln Square is a gem. Opted for the 5-course tasting menu on a weeknight—every dish was a creative hit, especially the Thai peanut rutabaga noodles and carrot gnocchi. The intimate setting felt like dining in a friend's cozy kitchen. Service was warm and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. Spent around $150 with a glass of wine. Can't wait to return for the full 12-course menu.

Magical, joyous and friendly with spectacular food that threads the needle perfectly between deeply satisfying and cutting edge (and edgy!) and delivers both in a way that lets you know you have landed in a very special place! It was our anniversary and they accommodated a last minute time change due to our arrival flight being much delayed. Thank you one and all!
