I really wanted to like Atelier December. Truly. The name is gorgeous, the interior looks like it’s trying its best… but the food and experience? Absolutely not.
I ordered the French omelet, which sounded lovely until it arrived. It was bland, the eggs were runny, and the only edible part of the plate was the potatoes. So yes, I essentially paid $18 for potatoes. Gourmet, I guess?
But honestly, that wasn’t even the biggest disappointment. We showed up early specifically for the baked goods, and the croissant tasted like it hadn’t met an oven in at least two days. That’s a shame for a place that sells itself on pastries.
My husband ordered eggs Benedict, and even that fell flat. The English muffin was thin and flat—basically the opposite of what it’s supposed to be.
And then there’s the ventilation. This place had bad airflow under the previous owners, and somehow, with the new name and refreshed decor, they managed to keep that part exactly the same. Impressive consistency, at least.
So yes, Atelier December got a new name and a little interior glow-up, but unfortunately, none of the actual quality improved.
