Tonight was just our latest amazing dinner at Blue Atlas! It was Vegan Takeover night and we tried every dish but one … as usual, the flavors were anything but boring. They were bold and surprising and our two non-vegan guests ate every last morsel and then some. The non-vegan nights are equally as extraordinary! Friendly, professional staff (Bas was out server tonight and he was great!) and just a fabulous experience!!! I love the fact that the head chef is a woman (as an aside)!

Wow, what a nice hidden gem! First time here and was pleasantly impressed with the ambiance (an old school!) and the food. Sat outside and had a fabulous view! Will definitely be coming back!

Great quality of food. They serve tapas from around the world. It's not authentic food from those countries but certainly is original in their own way. A great culinary adventure. Perfect for dates or family!

So we went to blue Atlas for happy hour, and we went for Easter brunch. It might not be fair to judge it on Easter brunch if we were just reviewing this on the basis of the happy hour we went I would’ve given it five stars let’s look at the positive first we went for a happy hour, and we had the Georgian bread which was incredible and we had this cauliflower that was yummy as can be . We really enjoyed our mixed drinks, and they did have a small discount for happy hour on the drinks. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff at night was very knowledgeable. We had such a good experience. We decided that we were gonna come back for brunch. We sat outside and it was lovely atmosphere outside, and I incredible view of the city. I did not find our waiter terribly knowledgeable and we tried to wave him down several times to get a cup of coffee but we had to ask someone else. Also even on the drip they charge you for a 2nd cup, which I think is a little crazy fair enough on a latte or cappuccino, but for drip coffee. I have to say we were very disappointed, overall by Sunday brunch on Easter. We thought the food tasted good overall and the tater tot were incredible. The Benedict was very small but tasty. The steak was tasty and my friend who had the bon Minh liked his bon Minh very much. we tried to order desserts, but they didn’t have any desserts. I’m not the biggest eater and I walked away hungry. Please be aware they also charge you with no choice a 20% service charge which the waiter did point out. I’m still hung up the that they charge me for a 2nd cup of coffee drip coffee. It was OK, I give it another try because we enjoyed our happy hour so much but Easter brunch was a big disappointment.

No luck getting reservations at Blue Atlas unless you're a real plan-ahead type, but I took a chance and walked in early on a Sunday and sat at at the first-come first-serve bar. The restaurant was soon packed, but the bar remained pleasantly busy. Such a great meal, well crafted cocktails, pleasant wait staff and bartender. The menu is so inventive. Bao, hot chicken and scallops. All were excellent. The vegan peanut butter pie was a fabulous dessert!

Oh WOW!!! Some of the best food we have had in YEARS!!! Love the larger than small plate concept (2 of us got 4 plus dessert). Also the globally inspired menu of which EVERY offering was phenomenal, as were their cocktails. The true topper though was Bas our server. He was amazing. Great and friendly countenance and delivery, and knowledgeable about the menu. Thank you BAS!!!

Parking was a challenge as spots are limited, however once we arrived and settled in our server was very welcoming. We heeard what a hit ticket the food was, I think it's good value for money and high quality experience. The wine selection was also reasonably priced and good quality. We enjoyed everything except for the lamb flatbread
