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.

It was an incredibly unique dining experience and definitely one of the best restaurants in Seattle. The signature cookies were amazing, and the radish cake appetizer was surprisingly impressive. Both the beef tartare and Dungeness crab were delicious, but the real standout was the halibut. The roasted green onions on top added such a memorable touch! Overall, everything was exceptional and full of flavor. Highly recommend it.

Absolutely loved our dining experience at Atoma. The rosette cookie was a delightful start—crispy, light, and memorable. The broccolini dish was beautifully balanced and full of flavor, and both the duck and pork were cooked to perfection—rich, tender, and packed with depth. Every course impressed, but the Baked Alaska was the perfect finale—equal parts dramatic and delicious. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Can’t wait to return!

Wow. What an absolutely incredible night. Atoma offers a wide range of dishes, cocktails, NA bev, and wines to make any occasion special. We decided to treat ourselves and Atoma understood the assignment! The caviar special was an incredible start and it only got better finishing with an incredible hazelnut finished pork chop. They timed the courses perfectly to allow us ample time to enjoy each dish and our few beverages! ;-) Well done to the Atoma Team!!! You are crushing it!!!

Fantastic food here, everything was made from scratch, and it shows how much passion these cooks placed into their food and flavors. Everything also looked spectacular and plated very nicely. This restaurant is inside a rather normal looking house remodeled into a fine dining homey restaurant. The space is a bit small and crampt but gives you more of that feeling like you are eating at a Chefs house for supper. Front of house was super accommodating, especially since we brought our 3 year old daughter in last minute as babysitting plans got difficult, to say the least. Me and my wifes 4-year anniversary was happily celebrated and made very special by this team, and i would highly recommend this place to anyone who cares about taste. Number one thing i would recommend is that shallot tart tartine, i might even try to steal that one .

Incredible, simply incredible! Pork shoulder was the best dish but I must say it was very hard to pick. The duck breast, duck sausage and halibut were hard to beat. Not to overlook the appetizers, desert, and drinks, each had stand outs.

This restaurant is exceptional in every way!! Charming ambience, delicious creative food, interesting menu, great service. Everything was perfect! I came here with my Alaska restaurant managers in October for as part of our annual getaway to experience good food and customer service. Atoma was our favorite place from that trip! Worth it in every way. I cannot wait to go back!! So I’m not... just booked reservations for next week. Yay!
