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!

Not sure what others people thinks. But we left the restaurant with many disappointment and hungry. The setting was very simple. Food portions were so small that you couldn’t even taste anything. I feel the servers were trying to upsell you all the time. The servers were very nice. Other than that, I wouldn’t recommend or come back again

What a wild fun place. The vibe was immaculate and the food was delicious. Watching them assemble the plates was insane 6 hands just hitting everything in perfect synchronized motion. Bonus the N/A pairing is so so good they do the wildest flavors that pair so perfectly.

One of our most favorite visits to a Michelin restaurant. The food was impeccable and the service was even better. Love when the staff has a personality. The food and wine pairing was with every penny and every calorie. Can’t wait to go back

Nestled in Chicago, Atelier offers a truly unique culinary journey. The exceptionally skilled team provides impeccable service, while the intimate dining space fosters a sense of privileged access, placing you at the heart of the kitchen's creative process. This is more than a meal; it's an immersive experience, and a resounding recommendation feels insufficient.

Atelier in Chicago delivers an unforgettable dining experience. The top-tier staff are attentive and knowledgeable, and the small, cozy dining area creates an intimate atmosphere, almost as if you're seated in the kitchen with the chefs. The culinary artistry on display is simply remarkable. Can't recommend Atelier enough!

Loved everything about our experience at Atelier! The food was incredible- creative, fresh, and bold. Somm wine tastings were perfect complements to the dishes and exposed me to wines I wouldn’t normally try. Hospitality was top notch!

This is the first restaurant that I’ve tried during my first trip to Chicago. It was beyond my expectations.
The restaurant was located at an inconspicuous location. Who would’ve ever knew that there was a Michelin restaurant there.
There was nothing to complain about the service. Our tasting menu consisted of a Miso Soup, which according to the kitchen is the first day they were serving it and we happened to be the first guests to taste it. It was waaay too salty and they did not hesitate to remake the soup for us (it was perfect the second time around - because of this they also gave us extra drinks on the house 😊).
The food was delicious each dish was very different and memorable and creative. The portion sizes were great! We were all so full by the time we finished all our courses. The server told us that the menu changes every 5-6 days so there’s different dishes all the time. We did think all our dishes were Asian inspired so I’m very excited to come back and try other dishes they have to present.

Absolutely AMAZING experience! I have never felt more at home somewhere than when we sat down for dinner. Our servers were so knowledgeable and so kind. And of course the food was outstanding. One of my favorite tasting menus. I just loved everything about it. I can't wait to come back again!!
Amazing experience from Chef Hunter! There where many great surprises and it was a night and food journey to remember. Highly recommend this for a night of dining and entertainment within eating and drinking wine.

Absolutely loved our dinner here. I especially appreciated how great the menu was while the place remained accessible, welcoming, and not stuffy. Also loved that you can come in and get a cocktail from their small but special drink list if you aren't a wine person. Highly recommend the non-alcoholic pairings. Even if you ARE a drinker (I am) the non-alcoholic pairings are delicious and interesting while also connecting closely with the food. An all around fantastic experience to which we can't wait to return.

This was such a special night out! The chef and everyone else were so kind. The incredible creativity of the chef's creation was stunning and truly delicious

Great experience for a more local feeling tasting menu in Chicago. One of the more intimate dining rooms I've experienced that produces food of this caliber. We were lucky enough to be seated directly next to the kitchen which was a treat to watch all the food prep.
Food overall was excellent and loved the focus not just on seasonal ingredients but also matching the dishes to the time of year. For the end of November a thanksgiving pasta (turkey confit, cranberry sauce, stuffing crumbles) and a number of pickled items along with a few courses featuring venison.
Look forward to returning and experiencing a different menu!

My wife and I just dined there and not knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised. This is one of the best tasting menu experiences in the city, in line with Alinea or the late Blackbird. While the decor is very simple, perhaps even rudimentary, the menu from beginning to end is a chef d'oeuvre, and that is all that matters! The experience takes about 2h30 min and it is a lot of food. Most courses are truly exceptional, with a couple that are just masterpieces. Currently one Michelin star, but there is no doubt they will get the second star in the near future. The staff keeps it simple and all are very agreeable. All in all, an amazing experience. Thank you!
