I visited The Atrium last week for lunch. It was the first time I had been in there, and I was very impressed with the style of the place, considering some of the places in Newark arent exactly nice to be in! The place was empty given the time of day we went in, so we we ordered at the bar, and received our foor within around 15 minutes which I though was very quick.
I ordered the Bacon Cheese burger, which was served with massive chips, salad and coleslaw. The food was well presented and there was plenty of it. It was cooked properly, and the food generally was very good, apart from the chips, which were more like soggy fatty lumps than chips, so I was a little dissapointed with those, but there were plenty of them, and they were huge!
The burger itself was very big as well, and I struggled to finish it. It was tasty, and smothered with melted cheddar, which was a nice touch.
My friend had the special Black Rock steak, which when it appeared I found really interesting since Id never come across it before.
The Steak is served on a super heated slab of granite, and actually comes out raw but garnished, and you place it on the rock to cook it to your exact specification. I thought this was a really interesting way to serve it, as Id never come across that before. The steak was really tasty as I tried it, and I think the vood was really quite good, especially for the price we paid per meal, which was around £7 or £8 each. You are served enough food to ensure you are filled by it, the quality was great, the service was fast, and The Atrium seems to be a nice place to eat for lunch, and I would definately go back. read more
