Atlas The Restaurant

Celebrated my three-year anniversary with my boyfriend. Absolutely fantastic experience with a plethora of unique dining options. Looking forward to returning for other special occasions. The atmosphere was incredible and vibes immaculate. The seasonal menu is unique and makes you want to come back for more. The servers are incredibly knowledgeable of the menu, which elevates the dining experience!

Went here for my 30th birthday celebration with my girlfriend and family. The service and atmosphere were fantastic and the building is beautiful inside. I can't think of a place in NWA with better food than here. The presentation was beautiful and everything was delicious. Exploding with flavor and everything was cooked perfectly. Very impressed with what Chef Elliot is running! Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a unique and well curated culinary experience. They made my 30th birthday very special and memorable!

My experience Saturday night was incredible. Thomas’ menu was amazing and I could eat the octopus dish on repeat. Our server, Frankie, was the most attentive, kind, and knowledgeable server I may have ever had at a restaurant. Keshia’s drink on the menu right now, Tokyo Tea Room, is not to be missed! Everyone that I encountered (Trey, Chi, Brandon, Elliot, and others!) was friendly and made me feel like family. I’m not in Fayetteville often, but every time I am, I will be making time to visit Atlas.

If there’s a restaurant that deserves a Michelin star, it’s this one! Incredible food, amazing service, and wonderful atmosphere, this is easily one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. My wife and I have made it our go-to spot for our anniversary two years in a row since moving to Arkansas and it has never let us down! Our waitress, Sara, was amazing - she made excellent recommendations and even comped our desserts to celebrate our anniversary and pregnancy. Absolutely made our night and just another reason this place is so great!

Atlas is a very nice restaurant serving excellent food. You can tell the culinary team is very well trained and takes pride in the quality, presentation, and preparation of each dish. From a lovely summer salad, an excellent serving of bone marrow, to delicious whole branzino to a beautiful presentation of duck breast, we enjoyed a wonderful meal. In addition, the pastry chef creates wonderful creative desserts to save room for. The wine list is nicely presented with a varied selection of choices. The ambiance of the room is also understated and comfortable.

We have eaten here before over the last couple years and it’s always good, but man this last time was a standout for our anniversary date. Excellent service, we had oysters, beef tartare, halibut cheeks, lamb and grouper. The food was absolutely excellent and corkage fees are very reasonable if you choose to bring your own bottle of wine. We look forward to our next visit!!

Delicious food with spectacular presentation. It’s a nice place to celebrate. We have removed a star for the following reasons: 1) there were crumbs on our seat when we sat down 2) not one round of our drinks were served at the same time 3) I hate feeling rushed at dinner, especially when I’m paying 3x the price than a normal dinner. I really feel that they require you order everything at the beginning not because they want you to relax like they claim, but because they hope you will order more than you need (since you are likely to seeing as you won’t know how full you are after appetizers) and to turn tables faster - I just don’t like this general vibe.

Let me first say the service was great. I had the cantaloupe mezcal cocktail and it was delicious. But that is where we stopped being impressed. They charge $7 for a basket of sourdough and focaccia bread and it wasn’t special. The east coast oysters were great if you didn’t put the apple cider vinegar vignette on it. The Apple cider overpowered the flavor, and it’s all you could taste. Our entree’s were fine. We were expecting more from the description. My husband’s pork chop lacked flavor and definitely needed the sides. The bison was fine and the vegetables made it. The deserts were fun and we enjoyed them very much. Overall I would come back to the bar to try more cocktails. Sadly not for the food.

What is there to say - only that this is a phenomenal restaurant. Called Atlas because the Chef owned establishment is inspired by cuisines from around the globe. The menu changes quarterly based on the availability of the freshest ingredients. The salads were incredibly fresh. The Summer Salad with arugula was delicious. Same for the Heirloom Tomato Salad. Our entrees were perfect. The Pompano was moist and flaky. The Steelhead Trout was delicious. The pork chop nothing less than stupendous. The under layer of vegetables crisp and flavorful. The presentation was beautiful. Mason was our server and he enhanced the menu with his descriptions. His recommendations were on target. The building is historic and the interior so nicely done. This is a perfect place for a special occasion.

Finally made our way in during restaurant week in Fayetteville. It's an upscale, unique, and delicious spot for dinner. Expensive, but worth the cost. Food is top notch. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Don't skip dessert. If you're looking for upscale, great service, excellent food, this is your place in Fayetteville.

Favorite high end restaurant in NWA so far. They have everything you'd want for an upscale evening. You walk in and see an impressive interior with thoughtful decor that all makes sense together. They present you with an amuse bouche to start, and give you an overview of the menu. They were able to answer all the questions we had. Oysters were delicious (we've had plenty of them on the west and east coast while in those locations, and these were just as amazing). They also had great seafood. Definitely the place to get high quality, fresh seafood. They also have a great wine list. We didn't get dessert, but they presented us with a tiny complimentary dessert at the end which was perfect. We highly recommended it for a romantic date night.

Atlas is one of my favorite restaurants in NWA. Each experience outshines the last. My wife and I enjoyed the following dinner together. All the dishes were spot on.

We had an anniversary dinner here tonight and WOW! Food was superb. My husband enjoyed his duck. Their small patch homemade ice cream and little fruit cube were some of the best desserts I have ever had. Mason, our waiter, was very prompt, knowledgeable and top notch. I highly recommend asking for him as your server! The only reason I gave 4 and not 5 stars is because I am a Filet fan. The ribeye I ordered was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I just wish filet was an option.

This was my first visit to Atlas and I have to say I was very impressed. They have obviously taken a lot of time and effort into getting the ambience and service right. I cannot remember our servers name but I wish I could as he did an amazing job. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, served us flawlessly and made us all nine of us feel very welcome. As for the food, the plating/presentation was fantastic. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. The only regret I have is not dining at Atlas until now!

Charming old building and decor, attentive service, eclectic menu, and inspired food beautifully prepared. I especially recommend the caviar service and the light but rich pomegranate gel-topped fois gras for appetizers. Very luxurious and delicious. The beet amuse bouche was also a lovely textured bite. All the entrees our group had were perfectly prepared - tuna, steak, pork chop. The pork chop was a surprising standout for flavor even against its excellent competition. We ordered all three vegetable sides and each was equally on point for flavor and freshness. My only criticism is the asparagus should have been trimmed more at the bottom. Highly recommended.

First visit to Atlas was a Wednesday evening dinner with drinks. Only two in our party. I had to park a couple blocks away due to very limited patron spaces from what I could tell. The patio is quite lovely but we didn't sit there due to high heat. The decor and lighting were desirable and seemed to accommodate a variety of options from couples to small groups perhaps. Cozy velvet chairs and sofas formed small conversation areas near the bar for cocktails I suppose. I think I recall music playing over speaker but not sure. I would have loved an acoustic guitarist or keyboard player tucked away in the corner. Sitting at the bar to eat small offerings such as a tiny summer spinach salad and accoutrements with Angels Envy Bourbon was enjoyable. This is not a Bourbon I can find everywhere. Beyond that and bread, I'm afraid my limited palette couldn't enjoy any other menu items that did look beautifully presented. I didn't get a welcoming energy from the bar staff though. A young lady and man did make sure everyone had what they needed, but I didn't see a smile the whole time. I am a very petite lady and I did find the bar chairs to be quite high and somewhat hard for me to climb into. Perhaps a table in the dining room would've been more comfortable.

Wow wow wow. Atlas is by far one of my favorite nicer dinning spots in Fayetteville. With such a cool atmosphere and a very unique menu this restaurant is a must try. I rarely give out 5 stars but this place deserves it. The service is fantastic and the menu changes seasonally with food to die for. You actually cannot go wrong with anything on the menu everything is fantastic. Highly recommend the Goat Cheese ice cream for dessert it was by far our favorite and absolutely to die for.

Lauren was outstanding!! Having dietary restrictions stinks but she made it easy, took on the challenge with kindness, and even made it fun! Dinner was so amazing. I could not be more grateful!

This was our first time visiting Atlas. We enjoyed every minute of our dining experience. We made a reservation ahead of time and were seated right away. All of the servers were kind, sincere and accommodating. The actual restaurant is beautiful! My husband and I enjoyed our cocktails very much! We shared two appetizers, ordered two entrees, and shared a desert. Honestly, it's the best meal I've ever had. We were celebrating my 40th birthday, and our waitress brought out complimentary sorbet and champagne! Oh, and we also loved the little complimentary tastings from the chef that were given to us throughout our meal! Needless to say, we will be back!

Our first time at this amazing restaurant for Tammy and my 39th wedding anniversary. If you're looking for a restaurant for a special day, this is one that checks all the boxes. The restaurant is decorated very tastefully with a modern rustic vibe. Our server, Bailey F. was great. She was very friendly, prompt, and attentive while not being intrusive. She met all our needs perfectly. We didn't order any appetizers since we had a later lunch, but there are many delicious options. My wife ordered the pork chop with grilled plums, pearl onions, Romano beans, Fava bean pesto, pickled slaw, and Riseling pork reduction. My entree was the sturgeon with asparagus, oyster mushrooms, fiddle head ferns, potato chip, white asparagus puree, chive, and caviar beurre blanc. These were amazingly delicious offerings, served hot and seasoned well. We also had an order of roasted beets, which were delicious as well. I have a raw oyster addiction, so I had to order the East and West Coast oysters. They were extremely fresh and deliciously briny. (If you're into oysters, that is). Overall, it was an excellent experience, and we will be back.

Great meal at Atlas, service was excellent. We had bison, pheasant, and black cod, all were very good. Cocktails were solid as was wine list. Definitely a keeper.

i have visited a few times now and also taken customers. one of which is a true food person. he has mentioned to me several times since how he enjoyed the restaurant, the food and the service.

Such a great place. I came in late from out of town, sat at the bar and was immediately greeted. Beautiful place, neat and clean. I ordered local beer on tap to start, then ordered the Corvina for my entree. It was fantastic. Paired it with their California Chardonnay. Very nice glassware and dishes. The server was friendly and professional. Great bar with lots of craft cocktails. They even have Pappy Van Winkle 10 yr, 12 yr, & 15 yr at reasonable prices.

Finally getting in my review after 2 dinners here. First in July was an anniversary reservation, and the occasion was acknowledged by the server and celebrated with a complementary glass of champagne. We were seated at a two top in the dining room which is casually elegant and comfortable. Specialty cocktail options are great, as is the wine even by the glass. On this day we shared the escargot appetizer which was my only disappointment. Each bite was on a little round of potato, which did not complement the flavor of the escargot, and the potatoes were still far too firm. I love escargot and always looking for that herbed butter richness that accompanies it, so I did not like this preparation. The entrées however were beautifully executed - I think we had one red snapper and one sea bass. Service was attentive and efficient without ever being intrusive. We did not save room for dessert, but they bring out a complementary tiny macaron and fruit jelly which is such a wonderful touch. I came back in to dine by myself at the end of September and had a really fantastic server who didn't seem to mind my indecision initially where to sit then what to order, but made sure that I got comfortable and had water, a cocktail, and some very tasty bread while I decided on dinner. Dining alone I had the steelhead gravlox prepared in house and then the foie gras oxtail ravioli, both off of the appetizer menu. Beautiful flavors and presentation and the perfect serving size for me. Again, no room for dessert but enjoyed the complimentary sweet bite at the end. As someone who appreciates fine food and knowledgeable, well trained, efficient service I am a fan of Atlas, and will always consider coming here to treat myself. Only Vetro 1925 and Isabella's are in the same league here in Fayetteville.

The Atlas is a nice and intimate restaurant that is great for a cozy dinner with your favorite person. The restaurant has an upscale atmosphere that adds to the experience. The food was excellent with good flavors and cooked properly. Our server was very good, knowledgeable, with a nice demeanor. The wine selection is a bit narrow, but the ones offered are, for the most part, quality wines. We will return to this very nice place. You can't go wrong dining at the Atlas.

My wife and I have been here quiet a few times. Definitely one of if not the best restaurants in Fayetteville. Great service ambience, service and presentation. I would give it 5 starts, but I feel the food is a solid 4/5 and priced for 5/5. That being said, if you are looking for upscale dinning in Fayetteville this is by far the best option.

Easy to see why this is considered the hottest table in town. Perfection from start to finish guided by affable staff. Amuse-bouche was great, ceviche was great, bread with the special butter was great, tuna, pheasant, cheese, dessert, et cetera--a memorable meal.

Second visit to Atlas was a disappointment. Food under prepared, ordered the lamb medium rare and it was rare. My wife's Short Rib arrived cold. We lied to the waiter because we don't like conflict. I thought this was the place in Fayetteville, I'm not sure. For the price proceed with caution.

The food and cocktail menu was awesome. One of the best places I have ever eaten. Everything was top-notch and the drinks were new and exciting.

I went to Atlas with three friends and were blown away. Each dish was a work of art. The service was extraordinary so tip well people. The chef/owner Elliot came out to talk to us and explained that they close for a short while each year so he can take his people to different countries to learn their food then come back and serve their version of what they learned. Gotta mention the drinks. They have developed beautiful drinks that you need to try. Goes wonderfully with the whole experience.

Great place for drinks or dinner. We were passing through on a road trip but thinking about doing it again just to eat here. Our server was knowledgeable and very attentive. Cocktails were spot on! Food outstanding!!

This was perfect from start to finish. The staff were wonderful and the ambiance was stunning. Everything we ordered was done so beautifully, and the drinks were delicious. Would definitely recommend supporting this restaurant. It is one that you don't want to miss.

This was such a great experience. The ambiance was spectacular, and the staff was so kind. Our waitress was so inviting and gave us some background on the restaurant and the dishes we ate, which were delicious. The chef was also kind enough to send out some complementary items. 10/10 would recommend

Beautiful dining experience all the way around! I've been eager to try Atlas since they opened, and I'm so glad I did! Perfect for a date night - they have an extensive wine list, wonderful appetizer options, and you order all at once so that your food comes out with perfect timing. They also were very conscious of social distancing and making guests feel comfortable at their tables. First, we tried the escargot and a few of the cheeses, paired with the bakery chef's table bread and thyme butter creations. Then we got the duck and steak entrees, which came out just as we finished our appetizers and had a little time to chat. Finally we couldn't help but to try a dessert so we tried the pumpkin flan with smoked meringue - wow! Everything was plated beautifully and had great portions. Flavors were slightly exploratory and delicious. A great addition to northwest Arkansas!

I wish there were more restaurants like Atlas. We had a fantastic time. The food and cocktails were excellent. Loved the interior and the people watching. I would come back to Fayetteville just to eat here.

WOW! To say fine dining doesn't even do this place justice! We have eaten all over the world and this gem in Fayetteville AR rivals the best! We ate like kings had escargots hamachi crudo foie gras and walleye with caviar!!!!!!! Amazing flavors that explode in your mouth! Our server Nick was the icing on our amazingly flavorful cake!!!!! GO EAT AT ATLA

Atlas has been at the top of my dining bucket list for quite some time. Took my favorite date for a his celebratory birthday dinner on a Friday night. The entire experience was even better than I had imagined. Love the design - great bar at entrance and our table featured flowing regal gold panels from floor to ceiling separating tables for privacy. Simple but very elegant decor- a very metro or NYC vibe. Carrson was our waiter - attentive and offered excellent suggestions. They offer an impressive selection of wines, craft drinks and beer. I started with the Riviera daydream -very refreshing but you must love celery to enjoy this crafted beverage. We started with raw oysters- divine. Followed that with the heirloom salad of tomatoes and watermelon and the seared scallops. All delicious. Our entrées were halibut and pompano (head and tail included) - both dishes were delicate, light and perfectly seasoned and cooked. They also have a wonderful patio that we will try in our next visit. Reservations highly recommended. Do yourself a favor and dine at Atlas!

I can't even describe the experience we had other than astounding. The atmosphere and the delicious food here is one of a kind. Not only are the chefs masterminds, our waiter was SO accommodating and incredibly spot on. We highly recommend the Venison. Pictures below are the Bison strip loin and Duck breast dishes. If you're looking for a fine dining spot, this is most definitely it.

We took a big group here and got the private room. Carly was our server and rocked it. The food came out perfectly time and everyone loved the food. Halibut was delicious.

The scallops are perfectly seared and have an amazing crust on them. Desert is always good and the service is on par with what you'd expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. Menu changes seasonally. We eat here pretty often as it is currently our favorite restaurant in Fayetteville.

Phenomenal dinner and atmosphere. We'll definitely return and can't wait to try something different.

Unreal to find this in Fayetteville! Moved here from large city and thoroughly impressed by this place. Decor impeccable and bathrooms so upscale you notice. Chef accommodated vegetarian needs, and service and food quality were beyond compare. Five-star in any large city--make a reservation and support this locally-owned business!

Excellent service in a good atmosphere with a unique presentation on food that turns out great.

Highly recommend for an elegant dinner! The menu is very unique and they do have specials! Plating and presentation was beautiful! I'm a big sushi lover and the himachi was perfect for me! Hubs got the Elk and was also very good! We finished our meal with the Chai cheesecake and espresso ice cream- an Excellent ending! We've lived and dined in some of the best restaurants in Memphis and Dallas and this is right on par with those- you'll spend some money but it's a great experience and a wonderful addition to NW Arkansas!

Amazing food, great drinks, and cool atmosphere. Food and drink menu changes seasonally, so the restaurant never gets stale.

Unlike other restaurants in Fayetteville and all of NWA. Great, unique food with servers/staff who are so knowledgeable about every dish and beverage on the menu. These workers really know what they are doing and they are so helpful to aid you in choosing the perfect food and drinks to satisfy your preferences. I went with my fiance and future in-laws. I split the arugula salad and the ravioli (butternut squash & goat cheese) as starters, and they were the perfect little apps to split. They were SO flavorful. The salad had an amazing housemade farmers cheese on it that was soft and amazing! The ravioli was also amazing and filled with flavor! They even split the salad in half and served them on two separate plates for us since we said we were sharing. I love when places are accommodating like that! I then shared the special of the night for my main dish. It was an aged ribeye (YUM!!!) served with broccolini (with chopped almonds) and potatoes. The ribeye was sooo tender and such high quality. I ordered it medium and it was the perfect pink. There was an incredible sauce served with it (I believe it was a burgundy reduction). For drinks, the guys ordered old fashioneds with their choice Angel's Envy rye and absolutely loved them. I ordered the Mount Wilde cocktail and it was like a sparking wine/champagne with a slight blueberry and lemon flavor - not too sweet but perfectly citrusy and easy and enjoyable to drink. We all switched to wine after our cocktails and we loved their selection of wines by the glass. I believe our server's name was Keyshia (spelling?) and she was amazing! She really helped make our experience very enjoyable. We told her we wanted to take home our last piece of ribeye home for "Meatball" and she was then so excited to discuss our dog with us and we asked all about her dog Pinto Bean. Keyshia helped describe every food and drink item that we asked about and was a great server all-around. We definitely want to request her as our server again when we return. I wish we tried something off the dessert menu but I chose another glass of wine instead. I took a pic (and shared it here) of the dessert menu so I can continue looking at it to remind myself to return and get something sweet next time. If you've been thinking about trying Atlas, GO! You will be so happy you did.

Atlas has been on our list to try in Fayetteville for some time now. We finally managed to make reservations and visit this new-ish spot. The feel of the restaurant is absolutely awesome - new modern chic from the incredible bar to the neo-soul music in the background. The service was top notch the entire meal. Atlas provides a fine-dining experience with creative and experimental dishes without breaking the bank with reasonably-priced, yet delicious and unique options. The butternut squash ravioli appetizer is a bite-sized explosion of fall flavor - you must order this. The freshly baked in-house breads are a great treat between courses. The star of our dinner was the succulent Walleye dish - beautifully cooked, flakey fish served on a bed of Brussels. The sea scallops were seared very well and were accompanied with some delicious mushrooms. If you have yet to visit Atlas, you must go and support this spot soon!

Consistently delicious!! The halibut is my go-to. Amazing desserts. Not too loud so good for a date night! Every server has been very impressive and friendly.

This building has been beautifully decorated and you will be greeted very warmly. Tables have some privacy with curtains and spacing. I started with the cantaloupe gazpacho which I had some concern about but it was excellent. Very strong flavors and a very large bowl. I then had the grilled bison with gnocchi, mushrooms and chimichurri which may be the best dish I have ever had. Do not pass up this dish! But I. Finished with banana ice cream and it may be the best dessert I ever had. The house made bread is very good as well. The cocktails and wine selections were excellent as well. It is pretty pricey but it is worth it.

Fancy restaurant. High quality. Nice rotating menu. Great date place. Has great bar entrance area.

Beautiful restaurant, great service and wonderful food. Everyone at the table ordered something different and were all very happy with their meals. The plating was amazing as well.

We stopped in for a quick and lovely dessert - our server recommended The Queen and it was awesome!

Nice place with good ambience. Date night vibes for sure. Went early because of reservation times but I bet the ambience is even better after dark. Food was excellent. They give you a palate cleansing bite to start off which was good. We got the bread for two which was two different kinds with butter. Cooked very well. Wife got the bass and I got the prosciutto wrapped veal. Both on point. Got the brussel sprouts and mushrooms as sides and the mushrooms were AMAZING!! Server was on top of everything and didn't miss a beat. Highly recommend!! Sorry I forgot photos but we definitely cleaned our plates!!

Came here about a year ago and it was amazing. My Hubby took us here to celebrate our wedding anniversary over the weekend and it's just how I remember it. Still amazing. And the Desserts are incomparable. They change their menu often so I was sad they didn't have the honeycomb dessert I had gotten last year but the chocolate dessert I got was a VERY close second. The ice cream had a very Smokey flavor to it, and the brownie was cooked perfectly. You wouldn't think pineapple/blueberries and strawberries would taste good with a Smokey ice cream but each bite got more and more delicious. Whoever makes their desserts deserves a raise, also please give me the recipe for that honeycomb dessert with the chocolate honeycomb mold on top

ALL the good things. What a Fayetteville gem! From the creative cocktails to the surprising amuse bouche, perfectly dressed delicious salads, and salt cod croquettes. So happy to have found this place!

This restaurant is amazing! Creative, inventive menu. Attentive, knowledgeable staff. Flawless execution of delicious food and cocktails. Atlas might not be for everyone, but if you are even a partial "foodie," Atlas should be your go-to for a great night out! I would have taken more pictures from our meal, but my husband and I were enjoying ourselves too much!

Enjoyed it! Service and food were wonderful. Appetizers were very enjoyable. Entree's we're out of this world. It's really good place when everybody was talking about how good the bread was..lol. Will definitely be back!!!
