I ate here with a couple friends and we all very much loved everything. I’m vegetarian and the options I could eat were amazing. THE BEST MUSHROOMS and SQUASH!

3.0 stars. Pretty mediocre, especially for the $400 bill at the end. Between the four of us, we basically tried the whole menu and we all agreed it was just okay. I can tell the chefs are trying hard to make their menu creative but they fall short in making it a memorable meal as everything tasted so mediocre. Presentation was nice though.
We had the rosette cookie, deviled crab, hokaido scallops, lamb saddle, sturgeon, pork coppa, baked Alaska dessert, bananorama (tasted like bananaboat sunscreen), and a scoop of the tea ice cream(too salty).
Overall, not a bad meal but will not be returning.

We chose ATOMA for my partner’s birthday expecting a special fine dining experience, but it fell short in ways that are hard to ignore at this price point. We were a party of six and spent close to $900, yet three people ordered the lamb and one received a noticeably smaller portion with no acknowledgment, explanation, or apology from staff. That lack of consistency and awareness is unacceptable when you’re charging premium prices. To add to it, my partner was celebrating his birthday and still had to pay for his baked Alaska with no gesture, no recognition, nothing. We’ve attended one of ATOMA’s summer events before and had a better experience than this. For what it costs, the value and attention to detail simply aren’t there.

Very cozy, delicious food, friendly & very knowledgeable staff. There were three of us, and we ordered pretty much the whole menu to share, except for a few things we weren't interested in. Plus, none of us eat lamb, so we passed on that. The least of our favorite was chicken liver parfait. The berry flavor was a little too overwhelming that we could barely taste the liver. Beef coulotte were a little chewy, but flavorful. Pink scallop, Kanpachi, Sturgeon and spiced maitake were our favorite. Overall, everything was delicious and beautifully presented.

We had a wonderful time. The staff all wished us for our anniversary and even signed a cute card for us and gave us some sweet treats as compliments from the kitchen.

A wonderful place for a date night! Very cozy, We were extremely well taken care of by our server. The food was incredible and the small plates are definitely filling despite what their small size might lead you to believe. Highly recommend, will be back soon. Parking is probably the only issue, I don't think you can park in that school's parking out back. Maybe the people running this place could work out some kind of deal with them..

The restaurant looks like a small home tucked in the Wallingford neighborhood. The food was very delicious, beautifully presented, and the perfect portions to enjoy all the courses. The drinks are hilariously presented in a comic style pamphlet. The staff were all super sweet and attentive. This is a lovely place to celebrate with a loved one.

Absolutely fantastic meal. Service, wine recommendations, ambiance, music all impeccable.
Fantastic space and beautifully appointed. A true gem of a restaurant serving Michelin level food with purpose and intention.
Always inspired when I eat here. Looking forward to many more fantastic meals in the years to come. One of the very best in the city. Lots of love to Johnny, Sarah and the extremely talented team.
Keep crushing it. ❤️

Amazing place, amazing food and cocktails. Service including hostess, waiters and anyone who approached were extremely nice, attentive and friendly. Would come back again and again. Love this place and now it's my favorite restaurant in Seattle. I would classify ATOMA as elegant, fancy dining and worth every penny. Don't doubt to dine here, it was perfect. Recommend to bring your date and or friends. People who like to try new flavors. Absolutely 100% instagrammable even though lighting is kind of dim, which adds a mysterious or romantic aura to Atoma.
Honestly, the food was amazing. We loved everything we had: the rosette cookie appetizers (a must), the gem lettuce salad with a superb spicy ranch sauce and almonds deliciously roasted, and the mushroom “shawarma situation.” I had the last drink on the special cocktail menu, something with plum and shaken egg whites. So good. The service was perfect. I loved the beautiful contemporary handmade dishes and the cocktail menu brilliantly illustrated and painted. There's a reason this place wins awards!
The food is very ok, the ambience is decent, and the service is good. So, nothing really remarkable or outstanding except the price. The cocktails were pretty good I would say but the food was under par, nothing really stood out. I've had better tasting food for $25 per plate in Seattle. This place is definitely not a upscale restaurant that you hope to be based on the prices and the hype. I do not recommend for the price; maybe for half the price I'd say it's about 4 stars experience.
EDIT: Updating the review to 1-stars because apparently the owners head is in the clouds and aren't really open to constructive criticisms.

On the pricier side but great food and wine choices. We had rosette cookie, which was a pleasant surprise with how it’s made, beef tartare with bread that’s soft inside and a bit crunchy outside. The coulotte dish is very good, well seared and juicy inside.
All in all very rich in taste and texture, as well as great service from people who knows what they are doing.
I would say it’s better food experience for me than Canlis
