The restaurant is beautiful and modern. It's anchored with a bar and cooking area on the right and you can cozy up to the bar area for dinner to watch the chefs work, or dine at a table. Although you can enjoy your time with friends or business associates, it's definitely a date place too.
We started with a wonderful german riesling from mosel. They have a large wine list and an experienced sommelier to guide us through our choice to ensure it matches the food. I can't imagine drinking a california syrah with any of these items, I wouldn't be able to taste the food with such a powerful wine.
Despite planning for the L'Unique menu to save a couple bucks, we eventually went for the multi-course tasting menu, it's not often you get time to sit at L'Atelier. The first item was a chilled tomato soup. I've never had cold soup before, but this was amazing. Just enough acidity in the tomato, to keep it refreshing sip after sip, but you can't stop, it's just so tasty. Each course was amazing, and was perfectly timed for us to enjoy, yet not feel rushed nor waiting too long.
By the time we finished dessert, and our wine, our taste buds were exhausted, but what a great experience. I highly recommend a visit. Find an excuse to go and see what culinary masters can do.
