Atlas Bistro

Absolutely decadent. Imagine going to a private art room after choosing a gorgeous bottle of wine from an intimate wine cellar, and then getting to sit down to a beautiful luxurious dinner prepared by your own personal chef in that at room. That's Atlas Bistro. Intimate, luxurious, decadent. It's location threw us off at first, but as any good mom ever said, never judge a book by its cover. For the expertly prepared dishes we experienced, each more divine than the next, you would easily pay 3x's as much.

We had the pleasure of dining here in December for a company holiday dinner. This was our second time dining with Atlas, and it was wonderful. The food was amazing and the staff was incredible. I mentioned to the bartender that I couldn't have alcohol due to an upcoming surgery. He must have passed the information on to everyone because I didn't have to turn down any refills or anything. They made sure that all the temptation was removed from my place setting and skipped me when they served specialty cocktails at the table. It was very appreciated. I love the atmosphere and being able to wander around looking at all the various wines and bottles. The restrooms are clean and well stocked. If you are looking for a nice place to dine, I recommend Atlas.

Both servers we had were spectacular! My only complaint was that they didn't explain to me that if you don't pick some add on items, you don't get the entire dish at all. I thought they were add-ons to the dish itself, but no, you watch other people around you eat, and you don't. It was quite embarrassing. Other than that, the food is great! I don't like how cramped the seating area is either. You're piled in on top of other people there, and it's not condousive to the price you pay for exclusivity. Other than that, it's a good experience.

It’s still Restaurant week! Last night I had a solo dinner at @atlasbistrobyob . They were not listed in the advertised site for Restaurant Week but they offered a promotion Wednesday & Thursday only to feature their three course meal for $44! (Regularly $65). The restaurant is “hidden” inside of the winery #arizonawine. With only 9 tables available in this quaint location, reservations are important! It is also BYOB. Once you decide what you plan to have for dinner head into that winery for a bottle or two. The wines range from $8-$800. I chose a Tempranillo. It paired well with that seafood and pasta I had. My three courses included the following: Premier: Australian Hiramasa King Fish Duet, Citrus Cured & Crudo with Smoked Nori, Grilled Cucumber Relish, Daikon Radish Spirals, Smoked Nori, Yuzu Tofu Emulsion . . Segundo: Basil Ricotta & Swiss Chard Gnudi, San Marzano Tomato Jam, Toasted Breadcrumbs, Garlic Bechamel, Tomato “Raisins”, Chili Flakes . . Troisieme: Acorn Squash Spaetzle, Spaghetti Squash Fritter, Chevre Fondue, Acorn Squash, Brussels Sprouts, Anjou Pear Puree, Pinenut Brittle . . I loved the entire experience 🙌🏾 I can not wait to return. The waitress was friendly. The food was plated beautifully and the flavors stood out with every bite. #restaurantweek #arw #arizonarestaurantweek #azfoodblogger #azfood #azfoodie #scottsdalerestaurants #scottsdale #foodie #scottsdalefoodie #fivestars #gourmet #sommlife #byob #somm #azfooddeals #nubianglamrockreviews #nubianglamrock #finedining #yummy

Our friends highly rated this restaurant, and we finally met them there. We shouldn't have waited so long to meet there! It was excellent. Small (about 10 tables) and intimate. Very personable service (servers work as a team, though we had Robyn often - she was great). Set menu (7 courses, I think and like $95). Every course well explained. Never felt rushed. A person in our party had autoimmune issues, so couldn't eat several types of food. According to her, the selections they created in place of what we had were great. It is BYOB ($25 per bottle corkage fee, which I do think is high). They do have a wine store that connects and has a great selection of wine and beer (including chilled) Todd was super knowledgeable about the wines. We got there early and had a glass of wine. Wonderful dining experience...we'll be back.
