It was our first trip to MV, and a final evening out in Edgartown. We decided to cap our wonderful week off with a dinner at a local restaurant, Atria. From the moment we were seated at our table, we were disappointed with the overall experience. The menu adequately met our expectations of capturing the island's bounty, but the service left much to be desired. What can we say, the moment you are served a glass of $16 flat sparkling wine (and a botched Manhattan), you understand why the place is barely filled during peak season. (We sent the wine back, but tolerated the Manhattan.) To top our evening off, after ordering $500 worth of food and drinks between two people, a waitress from the next section walked over to our table and harassed us. OMG! We did not expect such poor treatment, never mind the amount of money we spent at the place. What a dump! read more

This review is strictly for my dining experience at the Brick Cellar: As soon as I finished my burger and fries, I wanted to do it over all over again. It is well worth the price tag, for those who think $20-25 is a lot for a burger. All their meat is ground in house and all the burgers are cooked to a perfect medium-rare. If you want it cooked more, you have to tell them. It's perfect, I wouldn't mess with the temperature. I had the Frenchy, which had St. Andres Cheese, Crispy Prosciutto, Arugala and Cabernet Roasted Onions all on the most buttery Brioche. Upgraded to the truffle fries too, of course. Strongly recommended. I love this place and I wish I frequented the Vineyard more often to be able to eat here again, as well as try the restaurant. read more

Atria - The Frenchy with Truffle Fries.. I die. - New American Near Me - Edgartown, Massachusetts

Despite some conflicting views from other yelpers..Atria Brick Cellar is outstanding. The ambiance is unbeatable. The burgers even better. The payday burger was the best I've had in years, topped with foie and slathered with truffle laden mayo. Dessert was again, amazing, try the chocolate lava cake and an espresso, you won't be sorry. read more

Atria - Payday - New American Near Me - Edgartown, Massachusetts

We dined Memorial Day weekend 2023 . Burgers are great but the halibut was dry and average. Also, the chicken in the chicken dinner was overcooked. The ribs were not tasty, Our party left unimpressed. For the prices charged, we were expecting very good entrees. read more

I have no idea why anybody would give this place a bad review. The parking situation is not good but nowhere has good parking on Martha's Vineyard. The food was AMAZING, and the service was excellent. I had the short ribs and my wife had the chicken. They were both out of this world delicious. The ambiance was great as well. I highly recommend coming here for a great dining experience while you're on Martha's Vineyard, you won't be disappointed. read more

This use to be one of the better locations on the island. In the last couple of years the owners have moved away from the service that i was use to at this establishment. The food is still very decent. The service is not top notch at all anymore. If you want a good meal and service that is a step up form fast food. read more

Atria - New American Near Me - Edgartown, Massachusetts

Lovely restaurant in Edgartown. Make sure to make a reservation as it can get very busy during the summer months. I had the pork chop which was cooked just perfect. Moist and with a perfect char. Served with the most delicious cheese polenta and grilled peach. My foodie Son had the halibut which he said was "pretty good". The tempura lobster was a little too greasy according to my discerning husband. The service was outstanding... Example was that they deshelled my mom's lobster because she had trouble cracking the claws... read more

Outstanding service. Best meal this week on the vineyard Our family had the following: Wok fried whole lobster, only OK I had the grilled swordfish, truley amazing The scallops my wife had she said were the best ever Cod was excellent as well They even did a poster mac and cheese not on the menu that was as good as we've had. Chairs, not comfortable for me im 6'4", 235 and they were narrow and hard. Also understand this place charges for for superior food and services. Mixed drink $18, coffees $13, but it was fantastic read more

If you are in Edgartown/Martha's Vineyard, do yourself an experiential favor and make a reservation for dinner in the brick cellar downstairs. Dim lighting, exposed brick, and photography on walls create a unique ambiance. The front yard has a lovely swing hanging from a tree. The area itself is a beautiful and picturesque New England experience. Most importantly, I would describe the food as gourmet. The creatively concocted lobster tacos were the best I've ever had. The rare ahi tuna appetizer was coupled with delicious sea greens and crispy seaweed (I didn't like seaweed until now). The shrimp burger was a similarly memorable dish. Who knew you could even get a shrimp patty? read more

The only food I've had here that is worth it is the burger and fries. Wonderful ambiance outside. Outstanding servers. I don't recommend ordering anything else. read more

I am a lobster aficionado. If I go to a restaurant and find an unusual lobster dish I always get it. This visit to Atria was no different; I ordered the Wok fried lobster. I was extremely underwhelmed. Multiple reviewers have raved about the fact that it is deep-fried in tempura batter- but the lobster is served whole with shell intact, so the batter is on the shell, not the lobster meat inside!! The tempura adds nothing to flavoring or texturing the lobster meat. You are left to crack the shells and tear the claws apart so very messy (which is not a big deal to me but might be to other people). If you are someone who occasionally eats lobster, you will probably find any lobster dish satisfying, so this will do fine for you- although the dish was $65! That seemed quite steep. That's the most I've ever paid for a lobster dish. If you are a lobster enthusiast, I would skip this and get something else on the menu. The chicken dish, which my other family members ordered, was very good but not exceptional. This is an upscale restaurant, with nice decor and ambiance, but there is better food for less with similar upscale surroundings in Edgartown.Wok Fried Lobster read more

Asked if we could have a cocktail. Had other plans for dinner but just wanted to check the place out. Hostess offered us seats. We ordered watered down premium drinks then watched every staff member debate about how were given seats to have a drink. Even had a waiter come over after we were served to ask if we had reservations. WTF read more

These people know what they are doing. In every aspect of the dining experience. Plus best Cesar ever. read more

Disappointed!! Did not enjoy at all. Rude staff. Would not recommend. Just look at the owners responses to negative yelp reviews and you will find she does not care about her customers. How dare she reply "you too buddy" on a negative review? How unprofessional and immature. Lots of other great dinner and burger spots on the island with better customer service! read more

Atria - New American Near Me - Edgartown, Massachusetts

Went here for the burgers and fries and it did not disappoint! Apparently the menu for the main dining room at Atria is excellent but when we go back, we'll stick to the burgers. Our group had the Atria Classic, The Frenchy, The Fast Eddie, The Shrimp Burger and the BBQ Burger and everyone declared their burger the best they'd ever had. The appetizers were a pleasant surprise. We tried the dumplings, the calamari and a pasta dish that was on special. Not a crumb was left. Beyond the food, the cocktail menu is creative and playful but not so exotic that the drinks feel unapproachable. And I'd be remiss if I don't mention the service. From the moment we walked in everyone was friendly and attentive. Without exception the kind of service you get from a fine dining experience. read more

Sooo disappointing... I was really excited to try the Frenchy burger with truffle fries my last night on Martha's Vineyard. I called ahead to make sure we had a table reserved. When I arrived I was seated but then was told I could not order the dish I wanted in the Dining Room. Burgers were only served in the Cellar....which was fully booked until MUCH later. Really wish someone had indicated to me on the phone about the limited menu. Or that the waitstaff could have been more accommodating or friendly... read more

Amazingly delicious food and great ambiance in a fun setting. Big win-- highly recommend!!

Headline: not worth the prices. My fiancé and I went for dinner at the bar, the drinks were good but both our dinners were cold and the $20 salad we got as an app was nothing more than arugula, apples, a peach slice and a tiny sliver of cheese. This place is too busy being expensive and fancy to serve food that measures up to the prices. Would not recommend. read more

I'm really torn on this one. The problems I had with the meal I'm 100% sure that the restaurant would have fixed, but there were still three things that legitimately were wrong with my meal. At this restaurant's price point, everything should be close to perfect. We were a group of 7 in for an early dinner. The ambiance was great, and the service was attentive and friendly. I was dining with my in-laws, and they aren't the kind of people who ever send things back, no matter what the issue. For me, I want my food to be good AND, if someone is making an error in the kitchen, I want the kitchen to know. I don't send back items just because I don't like them. Better I tell them, the issue gets addressed, and the mistake isn't made through the whole night. Anyway, we got the momo appetizer, and it arrived lukewarm. Okay, fine. Still tasted good. But then the entrees came out. My steak, which had been ordered medium rare, was well done. My son had ordered the pasta, and it was so undercooked as to be inedible. When the manager came over, he asked how everything was, and when I didn't answer, he asked me specifically, and I pointed out that my steak was very overcooked. He whisked it away and returned shortly with a new plate of food, apologizing about it a number of times. When I got the new plate, it was perfect and delicious. The steak was great and the short ribs were fantastic. My son declared the fries the best ones he's ever had. If this had been the only problem with the meal, I wouldn't even mention it, and you'd be reading an enthusiastic 4.5 star review. I understand that things happen in a busy kitchen. My MIL tasted my son's pasta and even she declared it crunchy. I'm sure the kitchen would have fixed the dish if we had sent it back, but it still shouldn't have come out so undercooked. Everyone else loved their entrees. The fish dishes were great. The chicken (which my son ended up eating a bunch of) was quite excellent. For dessert, we had the chocolate cake and the cobbler. They were both fantastic. The kitchen might have just been having an off night, but still, I'd be hard pressed to give this another try. read more

...."Sometimes you feel like a burger and sometimes you feel like a 4-pound stuffed lobster"

We just came back from the Vineyard and once again Atria was the star! Had to stay with the 2lb Wok fired lobster and it was perfect! Amazingly Atria's service stayed sharp while understandingly the other two top restaurants that we visited had some serious problems in that area. Management should be applauded for maintaining a premier customer experience despite the employee crunch and hitting it out of the park one more time! read more

Very cool vibe and good food, but like most places in Edgar town the menu is grossly overpriced. $32 for a veggie burger which is the cheapest entree. Nice atmosphere though, feels like you're eating in a rich persons dining room. read more

It's comical to me reading reviews about Atria. I have been dining here since it opened and always have amazing meals and excellent service. The pickles are always (lol) good and they always have a sense of humor about their parking lot! It's a COVID Summer people, get over yourselves and just enjoy the food! It's strange times for everyone and we are all just doing the best we can. I for one am just sooo damn thrilled that Atria is open that I will forgive them for any little problems that may arise due to circumstances out of their control. GET OVER YOURSELVES AND EAT THEIR DELICIOUS FOOD WITH A SMILE AND STOP BEING KARENS!!!! xo Stay safe, have an amazing Summer and wear the damn mask! read more

The host was incredibly cold. She told us we didn't have a reservation and then came back and said we found a reservation for 2 people when it was supposed to be for 10. Then our waitress wasn't very friendly either. It wasn't a pleasant experience. read more

Had another fabulous meal last evening. They have really figured out the outdoor dinning, with tables spread out in a beautiful setting. Cocktails and a bottle of Rose started us off (taxi both ways). Service and food were literally perfect. We had the calamari app as well as watermelon salad and their excellent take on a Caesar. All of us had swordfish, which was excellent and served on a bed of mashed photos and covered with greens. Meal was unhurried but moved along nicely. Truly one of our favorite restaurants anywhere. read more

Good Food, but Poor Service, on 1st Floor, The worst is the Arrogant Manager. We had dinner on the first floor for this 2014 Summer Season in May. Unlike the brick cellar's service in the basement, the summer staff at the 1st floor for more upscale dining was the worst in its category on the island so far in May- June 2014 compared to Salt Water, Alchemy, Chesca, State Road, etc. The server, although he was in his late 40s or early 50s, was not trained properly, as if it was his first day, without training. We didn't order wine but he would not even remove the extra sets of silverware and wine glasses. He did not know what type of beer they had. The appetizer was 45 min delayed, but the waiter did not even come and check with us until the hostess apologized after first 35 minutes. In fact, the hostess noticed the extra sets were sitting at the table and she herself removed those extra sets, finally. 10 minutes later, the appetizers arrived. But, next 10-12 minutes, other staff and the waiter brought the main dish again while we were still eating the appetizer and one of us did not even finish his salad. Again, this could have been avoided if the waiter came to check our table now and then. Although the main course arrived TOO early, the main course was not hot enough, they must have been sitting in the cold pantry table too long without the warmer. The main course did not taste as great as any other times we had before. I had ordered another beer, when he put the main dishes, but the waiter again forgot it totally until I was almost done with the food again, and I had to remind him again. That was another 20 minutes of delay. Totally offended by the waiter's service, who would not attend the tables at all, we decided to have the dessert somewhere else. But, again, this waiter showed little frown to us as if it was a rejection or disapproval. Now, it confirms that he was being arrogant and he could not hide it. And, on the way out, there was nobody at the station to leave the comment. ________________ Today, my dear summer resident friends have arrived and we would head out to Atria again, but, to avoid the bad service, we decided to book the basement - the Brick Cellar. After the booking, I took this opportunity to address the problem last time to the hostess. The manager was requested but not in yet, she said, and she suggested taking the message for the manager. She was apologetic and she would make sure it would be forwarded to the manager. Then, all of sudden, the young manager, Nathan, snatched the phone from her, and, he insisted I should repeat my complaint. And, he was already confrontational. I told him that I already had spoken to the hostess. He said, that should not be addressed to her but him, and, I told him that could be your additional training issue of your staff. No apologies, he further accused that why I was complaining about the past experience, after many several weeks later, and there was nothing he could do as my complaint was being made too late. He made me feel as if I had wanted the money back. That was utterly rude. Not only that, he suggested I should not come in tonight if I didn't like the restaurant. I said I was complaining about a waiter, not the restaurant, and I did not expect this over-defensive reaction from the manager, I told him. Again he flatly asked me if I would want to cancel the dinner there tonight, only to make me get more angry. I clearly said NO. We would be coming in. All along, he refused to apologize. I corrected him that no manager should ever accuse the guest for being poorly treated by their staff. And, I reminded him that there was nobody to speak to, as nobody was at the station before exiting. In fact, I reminded him we were making a reservation as regulars, today, and I wanted to comment on the areas where the service has to be improved. But, he would not apologize at all. ***And, he once again, said, "Are you sure you don't want to cancel the reservation?" just to annoy me one last time. Well, I hope the owners read this and properly apologize to me in person. As the other reviewer said, their waiting service is getting worse. They did have good servers before but they are replaced to these strange and poorly-trained waiters in 2014 Summer season. Not only that, Nathan, this arrogant young manager is acting like a bully. That explains the poor service. It is well-synchronized poor service, except for the good food. By saying this, I still hope their service match their kitchen's effort. Too bad, the owners are nowhere to be seen. Where are they? read more

Major disappointment. My family has been vacationing on MV for many years, and for as long as we can remember, we have loved coming to Atria. Not this time. Earlier in the week, we dined at the burger bar in the basement. It was just ok, not as good as in the past so we decided we would give it another try, this time, outside on the patio. My husband and I had the corn soup with lobster fritters. The soup was like a bowl of watered down milk with a hint of corn. We also had the duck spring rolls which were very mediocre. For our entrees, we both ordered the fish special, local cod wrapped in prosciutto. The fish was overcooked and the dish overall was unappealing. To add insult to injury, the prices are among the highest on the island. The bill came and we paid a whopping $230+tip for a below average meal. We won't be returning to our old favorite anytime soon. Sorry Atria, you've lost a loyal customer. read more

Horrible food and terrible service. The staff was unfriendly, the meals were cold and blad. Terrible experience, i would never visit again. PLENTY of much better restaurants in the area... read more

Arguably. the best food on the Vineyard unless you want to go to the Outermost Inn. I have never had a bad experience here. The atmosphere is inviting and friendly, although it can get very tense during August which is when all island restaurants are under a lot of pressure. The parking area here is capable of inducing a panic attack as people get very competitive and rude while jousting for a space. Take a cab, walk or park elsewhere if you can. I have seen two fender benders here. And the continued expectations that this should be a restaurant competing with the best in Manhattan is annoying. This is not New York. This is a small, rural island with a short tourist season. The chef features local food and has a magic touch with sauces. If you think you know sauces, you will think again as you experience the rich and flavorful ones here. I can recommend any freshly caught fish, local tomatoes and greens and humble vegetables that are freshly picked that morning. My friends and I love the intimate atmosphere in the brick bar downstairs where you feel like you are in a cozy tavern surrounded by friendly neighbors and new friends. I always bump into old buddies but also seem to strike up a friendship when I sit at the bar down here. There are cozy tables, too. Love it downstairs. Outstanding wine, friendly service and a professional staff make this place a destination for birthdays, joyful celebrations and reunions. When I celebrated big time this summer, we came here and were very glad we did! read more

Burgers. Burgers. Burgers! Yes, Atria beautiful. Yes, it's the finest dining on the Vineyard. Yes, yes, yes. But those burgers, man.. they slay me. Especially The Classic. I feel no need to stray from this perfectly balanced, cooked and presented item: it simply doesn't get any better. Sure, I've been tempted by the heat of the jalapeno variety, the lure of the lamb... but I'm telling ya, with bernaise, mushrooms, and beef that is actually sexy, I have eyes only for the Classic. And perhaps, on occasion, the truffle fries. OMG. The cocktail menu is also something of a phenom. WIth perfectly mixed classics like Moscow Mules (renamed Menemsha, natch), Caipirinhas and effing awesome Sazaracs, I feel no need to drink elsewhere. Especially since they have right there one of the most knowledgeable, un-pretentious and friendly sommeliers I've ever met. He's a gem, glad to help and always very polite. Love. Go to Atria. Go for the beauty, go for the bar, but most especially go for the burgers! read more

Absolutely the BEST burgers on the island. I can't speak for the rest of the menu because the burgers are so delicious I end up ordering the same thing every time I go. Nice atmosphere downstairs, great drinks (pineapple mojito!), amazing burgers.. I guess my only compliant would be the parking. But who cares.. walk the extra bit to work off that burger. Mmmm :) read more

I am not really sure what all the hype was about. Sure they had really fresh ingridients, great service, nice atmosphere, and okay food. For the price I was paying I was looking for something amazing and breathtakingly good. This is a good place, but if you are looking for a wow meal try something not so old white people country club scene. Try Alchemy, right down the street. read more

One of our favorite restaurants is not among New York's superfluity of dining institutions, but is Atria on the picturesque, tranquil island of Martha's Vineyard. We were recommended to this restaurant by a friend on our first time visit. Just by looking at the menu online, I knew dinner would be dazzling. We were even more impressed in person when we came upon the restaurant set in an 18th-century sea captain's house in Edgartown. Known for its fresh organic island-grown produce, off-the-boat seafood, and imaginative influences from around the world including Mediterranean, Middle East, and Asia, we tasted the difference in their quality and creativity. Perhaps it was also the calm, lantern lit backyard that we dined in that made us feel relaxed and unrushed. we felt complete at home at a friend's backyard with impeccable service. It was also slightly chilly and our server was kind enough to offer me a wrap. Unlike in New York, we actually enjoyed savoring the flavors and taking our time through dinner. Our notable dishes included the fresh heirloom mozzarella salad with pesto and pinenuts, foie gras terrine and the fresh lobster. In fact, we loved the heirloom salad so much we've recreated the recipe a few times at home ourselves. There's truly nothing better than cooking fresh local produce in season. We would have eaten at Atria again on our second evening if we didn't already have an all-inclusive dinner at our B&B. Culinary Explorer's Guide to Dining Out of Town: * Order dishes with fresh, local-grown in-season produce, seafood or meats. If it's tomato season, go for it! * Sit outdoors if possible on a pleasant evening and bring a light wrap just in case. * Relax and take your time enjoying dinner. read more

A sign outside the establishment states burgers and brews but there were no burgers on the menu. They had a man dressed as a lobster in the parking lot so I guess it was lobster night. Ordered the 3 pound lobster which was stuffed with 2 pounds of additional lobster. It was tasty. It was also very expensive - $160. The lobster crackers in order to crack the lobster could not handle the job - at times we could not crack the shell. They are cheaply made and it was all of them, not just ours. For that amount of money, but some better lobster crackers. After finishing our dinner, they did not give us any wet naps to clean out hands or any lemon to get rid of the smell. Our waiter was very bad in protecting us from COVID-19. He was wearing no gloves. All night he was serving many people but never saw him disinfecting his hands - touching many surfaces. Several times, the lights went out and we ate in the dark. read more

Hands down the most decadent and best lobster Mac and cheese I've ever eaten. Equal lobster to macaroni ratio. Had the broccoli rabe as a side which was also delectable. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed his pork shoulder. Only a little pricier than the other places in MV and sooo worth it highly suggest! read more

Food here is great. Service was great as well. When i came to Martha's Vinyard I heard multiple people recommend this place. I didn't really know why but of course i had to try it. When you are on vacation you usually don't really know places around so yelp and people are what you rely on for the best food. Atria is located in a very nice area where there is a center and a fudge shop,ice cream, and shops nearby. If you go i would suggest putting some time into exploring the area because it is so nice. You should make reservations, but if you call before their opening time you have to leave a message and we had to call again because they did not get back to us. There is the area in which you enter when you walk in and there is seating downstairs. We sat in the upstairs area but the downstairs area is more casual and has an extra menu with burger options that i have heard are really good. They offer bread but you just have to ask for it and the oil had a taste that was just not the kind you usually have but it was good. The appetizers are pretty good sounding but we only got one. I am glad we only got one because we were 5 people but it was so big that people could share and there was enough to go around for everyone. I did not try it because i do not like potatoes much but others said it was good. The main meals are a good size. I got the surf & turf and i liked the steak. They have pasta and fish and a lot of options but like i said you cant get the burger menu upstairs. I would not say this place is fancy but not casual either. So wearing s nice dress or skirt would probably be my suggestion for girls. Good food, service was good, not too fancy, and a nice area! read more

The ambience of the place is super cute - we wanted a special night out and this fit the bill. Many complain about price, but we expected to pay more for a fine dining experience - my complaint is that there is a level of expectation that comes when going to a fine dining place as I experience in many places I frequent in nyc (and perhaps that is my failure - to have expected the same service for price as in nyc). They had a few errors that are completely forgivable, so I won't detail those here as they handled that well. The appetizers were amazing. The main course, cod is great, was good, not excellent, but tasty. Could use a bit more salt or spice to it. The dessert missed the mark. Don't put cheap sundae fudge in an affogato - all it needs is quality ice cream and espresso. The main issue of the night which drops a full star is the manager and server were snobby and rude to say the least. The main dish, angel hair spaghetti, was terrible. And at a place like this, you say something - that is the expectation I bring to fine dining. Nowhere in the description do they say there is a parmesan broth. It was basically a garlic soup with noodles, which we didnt expect. Pesto has a hint of garlic, not an entire garlic head. Now, when we brought up that we were unhappy with it, the server was shocked and rude, saying (for the first time) well yes, it has a broth. The manager came and was even snobbier about it. We did not like it, you apologize with a smile and make it better without treating us like we are inexperienced fine diners. They did make it right by replacing the dish with something, which was the carpaccio appetizer that was excellent. However, they never apologized and were bitter about it, and snobby. It would've been nice to have something to compensate, but at the very least an apology. read more

We ate in the basement which has very low ceilings with wooden beams and has a very intimate feel to it. He had a burger and swore it was one of the best he ever had. I had the duck confit quesadilla which was delicious. I also had a strawberry and rhubarb crumble with chai whipped cream which was yummy but not really a crumble, more like a shortcake. My only problem with Atria is the somewhat surly attitude of the hostess. When I told her we were going downstairs to the bar, she stated, "the tables are full" (or something like that). She could have instead said, "we have no tables available, but there is plenty of room at the bar." This is the kind of thing you say when you want business. Especially since there were two people at the bar when we went down there. read more

Ambience is one of the best on the island. Made reservations in the brick cellar pub which the restaurant mixed up a little and fixed RIGHT AWAY. We ended up dining outside and the whole night was just perfect. Dined with two kids, 2 and 4, the yard and swing were perfect for tackling dinner with little kids. Food was amazing, wait staff was friendly, pleasant, accommodating. The only reason I didn't rate a 5 was because my burger wasn't cooked correctly. We will definitely be back with the kids! read more

Very refined friendly unobtrusive service matched by equally superb food and presentation. Atmosphere is New England warmth with colonial chairs, taupe walls with white accents. Duck, fish, risotto and salads were excellent. First class all the way. read more
