We stopped in today, Sunday, around 2pm to miss the rush, because this place, new and exciting here in Brooklyn, gets very busy. We tried last Saturday but there was a one hour-forty five minute wait... so we went today instead and were seated immediately.
Atlas Restaurant and Bar is new, bright, spacious and airy. They seemed well-staffed and they worked together to keep us satisfied!
There are many interesting options on both sides of the menu. One side is food and the other is an extensive list of beverages of every type to satisfy everyone from the lush to the teetotaler.
We tried the french onion soup and the honey-pistachio ricotta spread for apps. They were both pretty good. Lots of cheese on the soup, and plenty of spread for the amount of toasts.
The lamb burger was delicious. Nice soft bun, tender, flavorful, and juicy patty spiced perfectly. The fries could've had more parmesan flavor, but we weren't complaining.
The cuban sandwich was good. Served on a crusty baguette and featuring a bit of pulled pork, it had the requisite pickles, mustard, and ham. The house-made chips were crispy, but I like mine a little lighter.
For dessert we shared a slice of chocolate cake. It was a nice size portion and was drizzled with raspberry coulis and a plump fresh raspberry on top. It was excellent.
This was our first visit, and we live pretty close by. We're sure we'll go back, because there are so many interesting options to try, and because we want this place to do well! Finally, a nice fancy/casual place in the Irish Hills!
