This is the most unassuming fancy restaurant you'll ever go to. Tucked away in a random strip mall, you'll question if you're in the right place...you are. Great food and great service on a changing pre-fixe menu! Make sure to give yourself some time to explore the wine shop before or after!

Eating at Atlas Bistro is an exceptionally wonderful experience. Well, you may not believe you are in a five star restaurant when you pull up to the storefront, when you step inside, it is the definition of diamond in the rough. The food at Atlas Bistro is exceptionally good making it, one of the best restaurants in Arizona. It is an excellent place to meet with friends for a high-end evening. Pay the money; it's worth it!

Great food and service. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend! Mason was our server and did a great job.

Delicious oysters!!

My husband and I dined here on a date night. This place is small AND IN THE BEST WAY! It is the most quaint, cozy restaurant! Ambiance was absolutely AMMMMAAZZZINGGG. Service was AMAZZZZINGGGG! The only people working were the cook, one server and the owner (who also was serving, being the sommelier all while running the whole place and he did a phenomenal job!!!) Our food was spectacular and this was the first time I tried oysters and LOVED THEM. I now love them and want them everywhere we go haha. They have a wine shop connected to the shop so you can walk around and pick the bottle you want and the server will bring it to your table. LOVE THIS CONCEPT. It was so fun! YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE. I'M SERIOUS!!!

I wanted to find a special place for dinner and their $65 3-course prix fixe menu called out to me. I called ahead and was able to personalize the menu, which I thought was a nice touch. We got there 30 min early, and browsed the wine store. The gentleman who assisted us was very helpful and friendly - we ended up choosing a bottle and started to sip on it prior our meal in the tasting room area. We were seated, given waters, and pours of our previously chosen bottle, which our wine connoisseur had brought over a little earlier. It took a little while for our orders to be taken (30 min!!!!). There was one waiter and one waitress taking care of the 7-8ish tables, and they hustled and bustled around to make sure everyone was taken care of. I'm not sure if adding one more person would have sped things up, or slowed thing down, due to the limited space they are working with. When our orders came out, they took the utmost care to describe every item in detail, which I greatly appreciated because who can remember what we ordered. Everything was truly delicious, and there was a little snack of a fried eggroll they had included as a pre-appetizer. It's too long to list what each dish had (and let's be honest I probably couldn't), but each piece of duck/fish/lobster/pork was cooked perfectly. Portions weren't the biggest, but with a bottle of wine between two people, it was enough. We opted for two desserts - the beignets and a pear tart. The beignets were rather disappointing, as chewy as disappointing really; the pear tart was very light, but nothing really special. I'd say pass on the desserts unless you were absolutely dying for something sweet. Two prix fixe + 2 desserts + $25 bottle + tip = $225. Be sure to check in on Yelp to get the corkage fee waived if you end up bringing a bottle of wine!! All in all, fancy and yummy meal, great BYOB option, all taking place in a simple, no-frills setting.

It had been years since we visited A.B. and a recent review in the news prompted a return. The service is top-notch, food beautifully plated, and most of it very tasty. Servings are quite small, so not a place I'd recommend if you have a big appetite. Three courses with a few options in each section. There was at least one veg option in each. Course 1: Roasted beet "pastrami" was a pretty arrangement of beets sliced into sticks. It was good, but the smoked salmon was better served with two small dollops of creamy potatoes. Course 2: A roasted squash was perfect for fall and the lobster in green curry sauce also delish (+$15 up-charge). Course 3: I enjoyed the butternut tortellini, but wasn't a big fan of the fish which was a bit overcooked for my liking. $65pp for the three courses, not including upcharges for special items like the lobster. It was all pretty good, but we left hungry. Our servers was helpful recommending a wine from the bottle shop next door and didn't judge us by our price range. Good option if you want a place that serves fancy-feeling food in a not-stuffy atmosphere, but not a place I'd go back to given the cost.

Always a welcome sight!

Hot damn! You can work for Yelp and still realize that you know very little about the F&B scene! For some odd reason, I THOUGHT Atlas Bistro was a relative newcomer to the scene, opening a couple of years earlier. Reality? 20 years in business! I can assume that I must have heard some buzz about Atlas a while ago and attributed it to them being new in town. The more important point is that when a place is still generating buzz (and revenue!) after two decades in the game, this is a restaurant well worth checking out. I LOVED my dinner here. Everything about it was flawless. From the service to the wines to the courses, this was such a great experience. It's been some time since I've had a meal I'm genuinely enthusiastic about. That says something when I visit so many restaurants. To be clear, I came here as part of a dinner group and I'm not sure how much our meal deviated from the norm, but I don't think by much. Everything is a prix fixe menu. I was told that Atlas Bistro is one of the few restaurants in town with a BYOB policy (corkage: $25). As a bonus? They have an incredible selection of wines available for purchase at decent prices. I enjoy wines but am by no means a connoisseur. However, one person in my group is a wine expert and was simply raving about the wine selection. The only thing that I found a little odd is that even if you buy the wine from them, the corkage fee still applies. But whatever. Since the menu rotates, I'm not going to address many of the dishes that we had other than to say they were excellent. Everything was prepared with heart, portions were good, and flavor was front-and-center. I can't imagine coming here and having a bad meal. Our dessert course was a cheese plate which I found odd but it was delicious! Due to the set menu nature of Atlas, I would recommend checking what is being served in advance if you have dietary restrictions or preferences. Someone in our group requested that the steak be swapped out for fish which they were able to accommodate, but I personally found inappropriate given the style of the operation. Another thing that I loved was the intimate environment. Reservations are key for a few reasons. One is that they're only open a few nights a week and they take off most of July and August (book those reservations now!). Additionally, there aren't a whole lot of tables which I found to be a plus. Atlas Bistro works for everything from an intimate date to an intense business discussion. It's rare to find that. As if you couldn't already tell, I am a convert to the cult of Atlas Bistro! Don't tell anyone I didn't know about this local gem before. Haven't been? Book now!

Hidden gem! Great for special occasions. 3 course tasting menus with local rotating items. As a pescetarian, I found plenty to chose from. All preparations are unique and fresh. Staff was friendly and helpful. Restaurant is BYOB and attached to a local wine store. Makes for an affordable night out of delicious cuisine. Small dining room and not open daily so be sure to make a reservation!

"Chopped" winner Cory Oppold has put together a fantastic dining experience for the Valley. Don't be deceived by the unassuming exterior -- the food shines bright! The menu is prix fixe with three courses. We went as a group of 4 so we were able to try the whole menu. Everything was exceptional! A lot of care is taken to craft interesting ingredients and beautifully plate them. The restaurant also includes a staff sommelier, who can help you pick out a bottle of wine from the wine store next door. Tips: - Make a reservation to ensure you get a table -- the dining room is very small and intimate (maybe 10 tables) - Check in on yelp to get a free bottle corkage fee

This place has been on my list for a while, particularly because of the BYO, and we finally tried it out. It's attached to a little wine store, so before sitting for dinner you can mosey around and buy some wine, OR you can bring in your own from home if you forgot. So it's a coursed out meal, 3 courses total and it's the small fancy size portions. I started with the fried burrata - good texture but sadly a little cold, still good though. My second course was the chorizo stuffed sweet potato which I though was very good. It looks funny when they serve it because it literally looked like a mini sweet potato cut in half and plopped on the plate. Once you cut into it, the chorizo and queso fall out so nicely and then just gobble it up. YEP! Main course were scallops and they were perfectly cooked with a great sear and crisp on the outside. I wish I could give this 4 stars, but I don't think it's quite there. And what add to this is when we first checked in, the host walked away and didn't mention anything about our table being ready or needing to wait. Okay, whatever, but we stood there awkwardly for 5 minutes still unsure of what was going on. Finally 10 minutes later we got sat at a table that had been open the whole time. Not a big deal and this wasn't a terrible experience but I think if the customer service and food were just the tiniest bit better, we'd be at 4 stars.

I was seated at the very nice and comfortable bar area, where the bartenders were fantastic, attentive, and ready to accommodate any request. The little bruschettas were a great way to start the meal. I followed them with a salad, they even accommodated a half portion for me. Then I finished with the short rib. Everything was delicious, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. I honestly expected this place to be more expensive, but the prices were extremely reasonable considering the quality of the food, service, and overall experience. You can definitely expect to see me back here the next time I'm in town! Thank you for providing such a great experience. Keep up the excellent work!

Service was great really cool vibes inside they do offer outdoor seating as well.

I am so baffled this has 3.9 stars. I will legit never come back here!!…read more The service is DIABOLICALLY LONG I cannot BELIEVE how long we waited for 1 coffee and 2 entrees to-go when the restaurant was EMPTY between 9:30-10:30. I am actually so upset. We ordered at 10:09 and recieved the cappuccino about 10:15. We waited and waited, watching the 3 workers scramble for something to do. Cleaning up the bar area, scraping bird poop outside, count the leaves on the trees. Idk. I understand they're not the ones responsible for the slow kitchen. We waited 30+ minutes for our food and finally at 10:41 am we got it. Wanna know what we ordered? Avocado toast and a steak melt. One of the simplest things on the menu. And remember there were maybe 2-3 solo customers doing computer work or at the bar, who had already ordered and were just enjoying the day. The only other customers vying for an order from the kitchen was a family with some small children. I cannot fathom coming here at a time that is more busy and having to compete with multiple other parties to get my food the same business day. Do not come here if you're really hungry. We ordered at 9:15ish to eat there and even that felt like it took long, when there was even less than 3 customers there. Thank you for the cold cappuccino and your lack of urgency for customers. I'm so glad we tipped y'all twice to do the bare minimum and serve us food whenever you felt like it.
