| - While visiting Scottsdale my husband and I happened upon some nice Yelp reviews of Atlas Bistro and it sounded like the perfect foodie place for us to check out, so a quick thanks to all the folks below!!!
Atlas Bistro is attached to a wine shop with a knowledgeable staff who can pick out a great wine or two in your price point before you head into the restaurant. We picked a nice Pinot Noir and headed in for our 9pm reservation.
As others have stated, it is a small room, perhaps 12 tables. When we arrived the room was dimmed, save a few uplighting spotlights and candles on the tables. Very warm romantic feeling. Every other table full of contented smiling guests. We were handed menus - and here is a good time for me to mention pricing - there are two options, 3 or 4 courses priced at $55 and $65 respectively. The extra course is a salad course that I highly recommend.
We were served an amuse, and then our courses processed out one by one and into my admiring eyes and mouth. I wont go into our dishes but everything was perfectly fresh, delightful with a slight southwestern twist. Just to tempt your senses, my entree was a beautifully thick, tender and juicy lamb chop served with olive tapenade. Absolute perfection!
The waitstaff was lovely, accomodating and good at sensing how much you wanted them around or not around. Overall we were absolutely thrilled with this find, and hope to come back some day!
