Elite service, the food is all custom and fresh made. Small portions but exquisite flavor and no menu item will go wrong. Recommend ordering lighter than you expect so you have room for a great dessert. Will be coming back. The seats are comfortable. A historic building and bathrooms smelled great. Nice ambiance and lighting. read more

I love this place!! Coming from San Francisco it's been hard for me to find places here that will make me miss Seattle when I leave, but Atoma is one of those places. Every dish is truly unique and memorable. read more

Atoma is the epitome of special occasion fine dining. Indeed, I came here to celebrate an anniversary and thought how this would be the best time to try it. From beginning to end, there were several steps involved and the experience felt very curated and like an exploration of the senses-- taste, smell, sight, touch, and sound. By the end of our dining experience, we could see why many people appreciate this type of dining-- tasting small, delicate creations in small plates that are composed and orchestrated by the chefs and gradually presented and revealed to the diner. The beginning and middle were all basically home runs and tasted interesting and were delicious. Unfortunately, the finale (the dessert) fell a little underwhelming and flat for us. This type of restaurant is not usually in my comfort zone or go-to. It's hard to justify the cost to the amount of food you receive, but I totally get that this is food as art. Or rather, artful food with the choicest ingredients! All in all, it was fun experience and something we don't do often. So, I would consider this experience a success and I have a better understanding why Atoma is popular and have garnered several nominations and awards by the food industry. read more

To celebrate the start of summer and my best friend getting a new job we had a lovely girls night here! I was thrilled we were able to get a reservation for the earliest time slot only a few days in advance. Having just been named a James Beard finalist for best chef this year and best new restaurant 3 years ago, I didnt think I'd ever have a chance at trying them! Lucky us! We all found free street parking nearby and although two of us were running behind they sat the first person and didn't rush us at all during our relaxed and well timed courses. It was a hot day so we shared a bottle of grenache rose - so palatable and refreshing (not sweet and not dry!) We had the salad, maitake mushrooms (huzzah for hen of the woods), asparagus, crab, toast, cookies, radish cakes, kanpachi, halibut, pork, pavlova, granite, and honey chamomile ice cream. All items were a single serving like tapas with the crab toast being sliced into two pieces. We ordered two of the appetizer dishes since they were more bite sized and shared everything family- style. Standouts were the cookie, radish cake, maitake, halibut, pavlova, and desserts! The cookie captured the savory/sweet combination that is so hard to achieve in a simple, esthetically pleasing dish with a crispy outside and an oozing center (think a churro filled with a delicate Thai peanut sauce or melted gouda/havarti - and just like that I'm hungry!) The radish cake impressed my friend who does not like "Asian food" and has never been to dimsum. I on the other hand, grew up in a family who had radish cake whenever grandma would make it for us (basically every month when we went to visit her). Maitakes happen to be my absolute favorite mushrooms to have for dinner -- so although this dish had confirmation bias in its favor, the flavors and method of preparation truly won me over. Now tied with the maitake, was definitely the halibut. Nothing beats a fresh, perfectly prepared halibut with an added bonus of a simple but tasty chimichurri type schmear topper. I've only twice had it prepared in this "melt in your mouth" kind of way, and this alone could keep me coming back to this restaurant year after year. While the asparagus was not my favorite dish (merely because it paled in the shadow of the other myriad of options on the table), I appreciated the easy to miss mix of blanched sea asparagus sprinkled in with the traditional asparagus. Only found locally from June-July, the sea asparagus provided just the hint of salt and crisp needed to this otherwise simple side dish. Now for the desserts...I loved the twist on the granita, as watermelon is too commonly used - this dish had perfectly large chunks of ice for a hot summer day that did not immediately melt. The honey chamomile ice cream was a nice departure from its cousin, the overdone earl grey - it if like if lavender were not so "in your face" when used in ice cream. Now the biggest surprise of the night and the biggest dark horse dish was the light, and perfectly textured berry pavlova. The girls said they were pretty full, but there were no desserts left standing when we departed. An absolutely memorable experience was had here from top to bottom. I look forward to my next visit and to see how the menu evolves! read more

James Beard nomination says it all. This is worth the cab ride from downtown. I would do it again just for the Pavlova dessert. For asparagus lovers don't miss the featured appetizer. Friendly folks and pleasant decor. This is a stylish but casual place to get the very best food. Surely it will become better known as word spreads. read more

Absolutely incredible dining experience at Atoma! We went all out at Atoma because we love great food and supporting local establishments. With three people in our party, we tried almost everything on the menu, leaving only three dishes untried, and were impressed by the creativity and quality throughout. I loved the menu format, four sections with only 3-4 choices each, making it easy to explore without feeling overwhelmed. The presentations were beautiful, thoughtful, and clearly intentional. A few standouts were the grilled squash, which had bold, complex flavors that created a perfect contrast with the Hiramasa; the halibut, which was perfectly tender; and the Duck duck, my personal favorite. The drink program was equally impressive. The artwork and descriptions were creative and genuinely fun to read. The cocktails were fantastic, but the alcohol-free drinks deserve special recognition. It is hard to find a truly great nonalcoholic drink, and the bartender absolutely nailed the flavors. Everything was balanced, creative, and delicious. Dessert was just as memorable. The Banarama tasted remarkably like real banana rather than artificial flavoring, and every dish was beautifully presented. The service was fantastic. Our water glasses were always full, and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, informative, and genuinely a joy to spend the evening with. The restaurant itself is an adorable converted house that feels warm and welcoming. It is easy to get to, with plenty of street parking in front and on the surrounding streets. There were three of us, and we all had different favorites, which says a lot about the menu. I highly recommend Atoma for a date night, girls' or guys' night out, or even just a great drink and appetizer. The chef is incredibly talented, and you can taste the creativity and thought behind every dish. I will definitely be back! Every detail feels intentional, from food and drinks to the warm hospitality and inviting atmosphere. read more

For special occasions only due to price - for 2 people - plan on spending $180+ much more if you want drink pairing of $95. Limited menu. Food was good; portions kind of decent. Lamb saddle had a lot of fat and was a bit salty. Sturgeon and the other dishes were tasty. Staff friendly and attentive. Got a card as we went for our anniversary- kinda hoped they would at least comp the dessert given the menu prices. read more

I can see why this place has been ranked one of the top restaurants in Seattle! All of the dishes that we ordered were outstanding. The stars of the show for us were the rosette cookie and the spiced maitake (which our server recommended and we were so glad that we listened to her). Speaking of servers, the service was amazing. The entire staff was so hospitable and knowledgeable about the menu and wines to pair with the food. The dining room felt very intimate - perfect for a date night. read more

We snuck in without a reservation on a Friday night and had a great meal!! The food was all sensational and the service was great. It's a cute vibe in an old house and feels like a very cozy date night. The price is definitely high, but for an occasion meal, it's a great spot. read more

I stopped by to purchase a gift card, but was told they couldn't help because they were too busy. The only suggestion was to buy one online or coordinate it via email.

Made reservations on my birthday and they treated me very nicely! The host took our coats and hung them right away when we walked in the door. The restaurant immediately feels like home! Upon being seated, I was shown the drink menu and the host gave me a birthday card signed by all the staff. That was so nice! The food menu is short but high quality, so decisions are easy! We got the rosette cookies, dungeness crab, and mighty duck with gem lettuce on the side. The rosette cookies taste like a fancy onion ring. They're the perfect amuse-bouche! The dungeness crab is a crab salad with noodles. The crab was tender and flavorful, and even my partner, who doesnt typically like seafood enjoyed it. We split the mighty duck, which came with a breast, a leg, and a chicore salad. The breast tasted a little too iron-y for me but my partner liked it. I liked the leg more, which tasted almost like a tender roast beef. Would be happy to split it again! I wish there was more of the jelly to go with the breast. The salad was nice to break up the flavor and texture of the duck. For dessert, we had the baked alaska. It lacked the contrast of temperatures that I'd expect for this dish but it still tasted great. There was also an amuse-bouche of a stroopwaffel, which was so tasty! For drinks, my favorite was the whiskey highball with honey and garlic. I loved the complexity of flavors! I should've ordered a glass of red wine to go with the duck, but I got distracted by all the hand drawn art in the cocktail menu (a good problem)! Overall, I would give this restaurant 4.5 stars. Everything was delicious and the service was top notch. Nothing on the menu left me with a "wow!" but it was all great! Worth the price point for a nice night out. I would recommend and return for a special occasion or with friends from out of town. The service and ambiance were he most memorable parts of our experience. read more

This was our second visit to Atoma. Since reservations were booked weeks out, we tried our luck as walk-ins on a Wednesday evening and managed to grab seats at the bar just before the restaurant filled up. The menu featured updated winter dishes. My favorite was the "Winter Luxury" (grilled squash). It had a chili oil dressing with a hint of honey sweetness and a great crunch from crispy garlic. The creamy cheese sauce added a nice layer of flavor, and the pickled onions provided a refreshing contrast. Another highlight was the Spiced Maitake, which came with bread. The grilled mushrooms were buttery with a nice char, and I loved the nutty flavor from the sesame oil. The sauce was perfect. The service was excellent, and the bartender was really great and knowledgable. read more

We came here for my husband's birthday, and it was the most mind-blowing dining experience in Seattle so far! Everything from the appetizer, entree, and the dessert were so flavorful and complex. I was super impressed! Our favorites were the radish cake, the pork, and both of the desserts (peach sesame ice cream and corn blueberry dessert). The vibe was very cozy and the service was attentive and friendly. Among the high-end restaurants in Seattle, this is our favorite so far! read more

Absolute incredible meal! We came for an early anniversary celebration and this definitely was a highlight. First off, the staff is so friendly and even though we brought our little one, they made her feel so comfortable and welcomed. The food - yes, it is on the pricier side, but the quality you get makes it well worth it. We ordered the halibut, spiced maitake, and pork. Our favorite was spiced maitake. Oh my goodness... the way they layer the flavors is insane. When you eat it separately, each of the ingredients burst with flavor. Then when you eat it all together, another umami bomb appears. Incredible. The pork, it does not look like your average pork. They present it in a way that looks like medium rare steak. My husband is not a fan of pork and he says this dish has changed his perspective. Truly, the smokiness of the pork paired with the sauce and mushrooms works harmoniously. For 2026, this meal tops everything I've had by far! read more

Food was good and I especially liked the radish cake that barely tasted like radish, and service and hospitality was excellent, but I was heavily disappointed by their duck because it was so blue and too chewy and didn't have enough flavor. read more

I can't rave about this place enough. You can tell by the way the staff speaks about the food and the presentation and how it tastes. There's just so much love poured into the creations.

Everything we got there was well executed and our favorites were the rosette cookies and the spiced maitake (an underdog that's not usually ordered but our #1) read more

First timer! We tried a variety of dishes and each of them were a hit. I think the two entrees (maitake shawarma situation and pork collar) were the two stand out dishes from our meal. The combo of flavors were absolutely chefs kiss. My husband usually says the vegetarian dishes I get are mediocre but he said this was outstanding. We enjoyed the different flavor profiles of each dish were all different. Overall a delicious meal and while portions may look smaller, we were both very full at the end. Pricing is on the higher side and would say to expect to pay 80-90$ a person pre drinks pre tip for a "full" meal. Cozy interior- they had the fireplace going and very attentive staff who came by frequently to change out plate settings and refill drinks. Would recommend for a date night or special occasion! Looks like their menu does change frequently. We are looking forward to trying new dishes next time. read more

Unfortunately did not live up to the hype. For these high prices and small plate sizes, they should offer a set or prix fixe menu. The best dish was probably the radish cake: $9 each!! Service was passive aggressive and unfriendly, she scowled a lot. We were a nice group having a good time, we ordered a lot. Our server could not have been more unbothered to engage us when we asked for recommendations on both food and drinks. Lots of other, better, food options on 45th. read more

This is a great place to try for adventurous diners. Even the mixed drinks have unique recipes. The location in a small house is cozy but fun with upbeat music playing in the background. It's certainly not a stodgy old place, so keep that in mind when coming here for dinner. The flavors were interesting, but do keep in mind as other reviewers have mentioned, that some dishes seemed to be a bit oversalted. read more

Atoma - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Atoma was a great place to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant is in a house which makes it feel more welcoming and comfortable. Food was interesting and well executed and service is tad on the slower pace but solid. Highlights for us are the snacks. Rosette cookie, radish cake are interesting small bites, ok to share between two. Crab toast had a briny sea taste - in a good way - balanced by the shiso earthy taste, I just wished the cut off the bread crust to soften the texture for my weak jar lol. Grilled cucumber and spot prawns are also packed with flavor and great fun to eat. I preferred the mushroom main to the fish one, only because the flavors are bolder and more interesting but nothing wrong with the cod. Icecream wraps it up nicely. I am pleasantly surprised how well the flavors come through even the subtle toasted rice stood up to ginger. read more

Reservation: via opentable, cc $50 deposit required and 48hours min cancelation in advance. They didn't charge it, they only use it to secure your reservation or if you decide to cancel on them less than 48hr. Parking: free street parking Restrooms: 2 gender neutral individual restrooms. Seatings: Indoor, outdoor patio, Chef table, and bar table in between outdoor patio and inside dining. The biggest table is ours, table for 6, which we appreciate since we normally order a lot and we have space to share our food. Simple menu and yet satisfying, full of flavor. We ordered one of everything in the menu since there's 4 of us and want to try everything. The menu divided by section: Appetizers: Rosetta cookie - 1pc - yummy Radish cake - 1pc - yummy Crab toast - 1 toast cut into halves - nice Mid- snack or pre-entree: Grilled cucumber - our favorite Spot prawn - coconut curry style Kampachi Entree: Pork collar- our least favorite, the pork is a bit under, has more pink than it should. Black Cod - ok Spiced maitake - love this and it comes with fluffy naan bread Roasted chicken - cook to perfection, crispy skin, moist chicken Sides: Potato salad - ok, wish they add some acid into it and we like our potato salad more creamy. Crumpets - delicious, so fluffy and crewy Desserts: Horchata ginger cinnamon gelato - love it. Wish a bit tad more ginger. Mille feuille - very nice. Overall, we like it a lot. Some are super good that we will come back for. Some are ok or too salty for our taste. read more

Wow- had to book a month out for a reasonable dinner time on a Friday and boy was it worth the wait. They have a $40 cork fee for a 750ml bottle of wine and we took advantage of it. It wasn't amateur hour, so we brought it chilled, but they would do it for you. Let's talk dishes. Crumpets/ bread service is a must. There's 2 per order and too much butter. We also split the crab salad and Kanpachi between the 4 of us. For mains we did halibut, duck and pork collar. Everything was transcendental. The real star of the show? The cookie. Service was above and beyond. Vanessa did an excellent overview of the menu. The real MVP of the night was the sommelier, Amish. I don't like chardonnay, but his recommendations had us falling in love. And, I cannot stress this enough, we are snobs! Everything was on point, including the 10 year old port finale. Run, don't walk to Atoma. They're wearing their James Beard well. read more

I had a reservation at Atoma this evening and was genuinely looking forward to it. It would have been our first time. I started feeling very unwell and called the night before to ask whether to reschedule. To be clear: the cancellation policy was disclosed and I have no issue with the existence of the fee. My issue is how it was handled. I left a voicemail. About 20 minutes later I got a callback with no message. I called back, said I'd missed them, and that I'd follow up by email. By the time I opened my inbox, Atoma had already canceled my reservation and charged the $100 fee, before we ever actually spoke. I'd reached out specifically to have a conversation about options, and got a charge instead of a reply. My follow-up email has gone unanswered. The next morning, my time slot was already gone on OpenTable. They'd rebooked the table. So they collected my $100 and resold the seats. A cancellation fee exists to cover a loss. When the table is immediately resold, there's no loss to cover, which tells me the refusal to even pick up a conversation wasn't about protecting the business. It was about collecting twice. A restaurant is entitled to enforce its policy. But there's a difference between enforcing a policy and processing a charge on a customer who is actively trying to reach you, without a single word in response. No callback message, no email, nothing. That's a choice about how you treat people, and it's the reason I won't be back. Reading the owner's defensive replies to other critical reviews only confirmed the impression. read more

This is a really nice date night or special occasion spot. All the food was extremely tasty and well thought out. Even the "cookie" filled with caramelized jam was unique and tasty. This place is expensive, though! The service was very welcoming and they were happy to take our picture on our way out. They also treated us since it was one of our birthdays. read more

Atoma is a lovely restaurant--as was its predecessor in that location. We celebrated my husband's birthday there last night and enjoyed our meal -- which was good and the most expensive meal we've had in Seattle. We ordered 3 appetizers, a salad, and the duck entree intended for two. The duck entree was $130 and had 2 different presentations-- duck confit pot pie which was delicious and a large tray of slided duck which was ok. We were there for 2 hours at which point we had just paid the bill and were enjoying the last sips of our drinks when the hostess approached us to ask us to leave as they needed the table for others. After spending $300 (with tip) to be immediately asked to leave is extremely bad service and en expected from a fine dining experience. It left a very sour taste. read more

This place is good and they know it! Quite pricey but one of the best meals I've had in Seattle recently. I had the rosette, hamachi, lamb, and baked Alaska. Everything was balanced in flavor and unique, I would get them all again. I especially loved the baked Alaska, which I had always wanted to try and this was my first opportunity - it was so good I think I'll be back just so I can get this. The food I give 5/5. The let down here was really the cocktails. They are fine, but nothing special and definitely do not warrant the premium price tag of $23. I would recommend sticking to wine/beer/spirits until they improve their cocktail menu. The cocktails I give 3/5. The restaurant is in a cute little house, with an intimate setting. The service was good, what you expect for a fancy restaurant. Overall I give Atoma 4/5. read more

5 stars all around! This gem is tucked into the cutest craftsman, and while tables are close together, it's still an intimate setting. Derek was the best server. Loved his recommendations, descriptions of menu items, and demeanor. Dishes were paced to come out at perfect intervals. The food was amazing. If this place doesn't win the James Beard, then someone isn't doing their job. Surprising elements, bright flavors, delicious. The rosetta cookie, the maitake entree, and the sunchoke sundae were my favorites. read more

I heard so many great things about Atoma and was happy to see that reservations were not too difficult to get ahold of during my visit. The restaurant is situated in a renovated house, so it's easy to drive by. I opted for an indoor dining service, but on a nice balmy summer evening, I imagine the outdoor dining scene must be amazing. Our server, Evan, welcomed us and walked us through the menu, taking care to point out the items that were not nut-free as I have an allergy. We decided to start with some rosette cookies ($7 ea) as I saw most people order them, as well as a radish cake ($9). The rosette cookies were light and crispy and reminded me of Malaysian kuih loyang, but with a savory twist. I particularly enjoyed the caramelized onion jam and farmer's cheese which had a very strong goat milk flavor hidden within the cookies. The radish cake was quite pretty too, and when I read geoduck in the menu description, I assumed there would be geoduck in the batter, like an homage to the New England clam cakes. However, I barely tasted any geoduck, which was a little disappointing, though the pickled radish made for a lovely refreshing palate cleanser. We also opted for the spot prawns ($23) and grilled cucumbers ($18) for our small plates. The spot prawns were served with an almond milk nage, so I unfortunately was unable to try that, but my dining companions told me the prawns were sweet and firm, and the whole dish had an aroma of fermented black beans, which I found interesting. The grilled cucumbers were my favorite bite of the night. I expected the sumac yogurt sauce, as described in the menu, to lean Mediterranean, but the salad was a delightful surprise to my taste buds. I loved how sweet and smoky the caramelized cucumbers were, and the ground pepitas from the salsa macha really complemented those flavors with their inherent nuttiness. The gentle heat of the salsa macha was also balanced with the creaminess of the sumac yogurt and mint, resulting in an unforgettable salad. Evan did not steer us wrong with this recommendation, and I could have happily eaten a second order of this salad without hesitation. We also ordered the pork collar ($44) and black cod ($45) to share, and the entrées were, mercifully, much larger than the appetizers. I really enjoyed the pork collar but it was a mixed review at my table as some thought the collar was simply too fatty. I, on the other hand, love a fatty cut of meat and thought the flavor was spot-on. The apricot sauce was also the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The black cod was serviceable-- I wasn't the hugest fan of the artichoke barigoule as it felt too heavy paired with the leek emulsion. The parmesan shards were a nice touch of umami for an otherwise bland dish. For dessert, we decided on the tayberry sorbet ($9) and the seasonal mille-feuille ($16), which also featured tayberry and elderflower. The latter was particularly memorable as the crispy layers of puff pastry yielded to the fork and uncovered a sea of creamy elderflower pastry cream and tart tayberry jam. I wasn't really sure where the salsify came into play, but it was definitely my second favorite bite of the evening. Overall, the service was impeccable and the food was incredible (for the most part). While most of the dishes we ordered were a little small in portion size, I felt we left our meal feeling satiated. I did notice the table next to us got a complimentary dessert and we didn't, so I'll subtract a star for that. read more

I had high expectations after seeing all the reviews from NYTimes and it totally lived upto it! This is definitely a special occasion place, I had made a reservation a week before. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy. We came in 20 minutes before our reservation time and they were able to seat us! I got the missing miraflores and it did remind me of Peru. We started with the Rosetta cookie and radish cake. Both were so flavorful and crunchy. Then we got the crab, it came with their house made toast. We got the pork shoulder for our main, it was perfectly cooked and came with a quince mole. We finished off with the baked Alaska. I noticed the menu had few vegetarian options.

Atoma was such a great experience! My boyfriend and I have been excited for months to try atoma while we came to visit Seattle. When you first walk up, the restaurant is in a renovated house which gives it such a cozy and unique vibe to the seating area. We were immediately sat to where we can see the owner/chef preparing each plate to be sent out and their bar area was immaculate! Their liquor and wine menu were very extensive and amazing to flip through. Every aspect to detail at the restaurant was made with intention and love. Dillon was our server and he is very knowledgeable on all things Atoma, including the food and the spirits in their selection. He and Oscar, the wine director, gave us some amazing recommendations as what to do in the area along with a postcard of places that are their favorite hang outs outside of work. Lastly, the food was so amazing and the portion sizes were perfect for the two of us! My favorite dishes were the asparagus, scallops and the maitake mushroom in a shawarma style spice. Every dish was innovative and inspiring for us! We can see why they have all the accolades they've received and can definitely win a Michelin Star with the overall food and experience. We can't wait to come back and try the food when the menu changes with the seasons. read more

Wow! Our expectations were high coming in and yet, we were still blown away. We came here the week before Christmas to celebrate a special occasion. Our table wasn't quite ready when we arrived but we could sit in the porch area and order a cocktail while we waited for our table. The cocktail menu was quite fun, though on the high price end even for Seattle. They did have a small section of mini cocktails so we tried the bees knees and the espresso drink. The bees knees was a stand out! The house atmosphere as cosy and comfy, they fit a lot of tables in there, but it never felt crowded. We ordered lots of bites to share throughout the evening. The rosette cookie with onion and jam and farmers cheese was excellent, make sure you get one for each person, you won't want to share! Beef tartare was tender with some really flavorful chips on top and the pork entree was great as well. We did try the famous baked Alaska, though I was a little skeptical of the cheddar ice cream included in it, but it as very tasty, such a treat. Looking forward to coming back here for another special occasion in the future. read more

Cute place in the heart of Wallingford. It's small- you have probably driven past it 100 times without realizing it. It's a historic home that was converted into a restaurant. In sum, this is an upscale tiny plates place. Food was great, dishes were quite small, but prepared very well. Love the rosette cookies, radish cakes, and black cod, and kanpachi. They were also able to accommodate my friend who doesn't eat mayo by swapping out some ingredients for the radish cake, which was really nice! Everything from the presentation of the food to the delicacy of the wine glasses was so elegant. Very cute spot, definitely get reservations in advance. Just remember expect to spend a pretty penny or leave hungry. read more
