| - AMAZING!!!!
Dined at this hidden gem on Thursday.
From seeing the pictures of the cuisine from time to time, I thought that the food was created by artists using a microscope and tweezers-the kind of place where the food is beautiful but complicated and you leave starving-
Besides the beautiful part, I couldn't have been more wrong!!!!!
The menu:
First course
We all shared the pork belly,the big eye tuna and the circulated egg with potato mousse and lardons.
Second course
Avocado soup with chorizo
Roasted heirloom tomatoes
Fava bean falafel
Main course
I ordered the wagyu hanger steak and had zero intention of sharing because it was easily one of the best steaks I've ever had,but that would have been mean..
Friends had the Hawaiian Ono and the duck,which were both equally fantastic!!!
We all declared that we were too full to order desert, but ordered 3 just to "try"...
I'm pretty sure I found a shovel to eat with because there was nothing left on any of the plates.
Coffee cake,chocolate tart,and "eat dirt" with dolce de leche and powdered peanut butter were the perfect end to a unbelievable meal.
Our server was the owner Todd (when was the last time you saw the owner of a restaurant touch a plate, let alone serve?)
Also got to meet his beautiful wife Natasha and the holy trinity of chefs,Cory,Juan and Joe- it blows my mind that a restaurant of this caliber has only 3 chefs!!!
I have been fortunate to have been able to dine at several of the best restaurants in America (French Laundry, the Inn at Little Washington,etc...)
Atlas bistro is as good as it gets...
