atera

Came here with my partner last week… An incredible meal. The food here is so creative and delicious. There was not a single course we didn’t like. The restaurant also has great decor and creates an intimate vibe. Would love to eat here again!

Excellent meal worth every penny! You get to see the open kitchen and they barely made any smoke. Great service and presentation of food. Great summer menu and will definitely be back next season.

Atera was an amazing dining experience from beginning to finish, we were looking for an unforgettable meal and they more than delivered! Food: the tasting menu was exquisite, we could immediately tell that beyond the high quality ingredients, all the chefs were working in harmony to create works of art that blessed our palates. My wife is pregnant and cannot eat raw/undercooked foods, but they were able to substitute many of the ingredients which did not sacrifice quality/taste. Staff: the staff was a well-oiled machine that attended to our every need without us asking for anything. I knew they were pros when two waiters cleared two sets of dishes in perfect unison without missing a beat. Ambiance: they were playing some JAMS in the house which I did NOT expect. Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, 50 cent, Michael Jackson. I was having the time of my life! The decor was classy and we noticed they kept their kitchen spotless (we sat at the chefs counter and had a clear view of the kitchen). This was a fantastic experience to say the least. We hope to be back one day!

I can't get over what an amazing time this was. The attention to detail was incredible. They noticed I was left handed and started setting me on the left very quickly. The food all had such amazing flavour, I've never had anything like it. This was such an incredible experience, like something I always saw on tv but didn't realize normal people could do. I nearly cried. The people were all so kind and answered all my questions. They made my birthday and anniversary so amazing.

Service was excellent. All courses were delicious and beautifully presented. Dishes were interesting. I found some items were slightly under salted while others were over salted. Overall would definitely recommend !

I've been looking forward to this for a very long time. I heard about the Temperance Pairing from a friend. This is one of the very few non-alcoholic drink pairings. It's not just having a mocktail with your meal. It's having drinks that are paired with the ingredients used in the dinner course. In many ways this can be superior to wine pairs. As a foodie, I would want to try both to maximize the experience. The food was excellent, the service was impeccable.

Dined here two months ago and definitely recommend. We sat at the table instead of the bar and it was still great. The staff and chefs were very friendly explained each of the course very well. Each course was perfect. Seasoning, flavor, and quality were spot on. Must repeat!

I did the wine pairing. My favorite wine was a 2008 Rioja. I was surprised and amused that, when I finished the first wine (champagne) 4 or 5 courses into the 15 total, they refilled my champagne glass. It made me wonder, would they have refilled all 7 wines if I drank each fast enough? My only criticism might be the pacing of this. The champagne was served for the first 6 courses. So that anchored me to a slow drinking pace. The next 5 wines were each served alongside a single course, so for most of those 5, I was still working on a wine when the next wine pairing arrived. I wonder if the disproportionate champagne pairings were intentional, or if they forgot to serve other wines sooner. Another in my group got the "temperance" (non-alcoholic drink pairing). I tried a sip of each; most of them blew me away, I was wowed by how tasty they were. Some comments among the 15 courses: Chicken skin, turkey rye - Heavily smoked, it seemed like crunchy bacon. We half-joked that we want this available by the bag to snack on. Kaluga caviar, custard, bonito - I loved this and the contrast of the custard vs caviar and (olive oil?) Yellowfin tuna, sea urchin, rice - Great texture contrast with the somewhat crispy (seared?) rice vs soft seafood. Halibut, cuttlefish, yuzu - Satisfyingly buttery. Had it thinking it was the softest squid I'd ever had. But apparently squid is not cuttlefish? Wagyu - Probably the softest meat I've ever had. (The menu said it has shrimp and snap pea, I don't remember either, and it also had egg yolk. If the menu was wrong, I don't remember if the server pointing that out). Beef foie gras - A highlight by group consensus. I didn't actually see the foie in mine, but the others said it was there and well-integrated. Of the four people in my group, two weren't happy about the service, saying they felt judged, watched closely but not in an attentive way. The third commented when she looked away at one point, her favorite dessert (lemon/buttermilk/lemongrass) was taken away with half remaining. I personally had no issues with the service, so I'm not marking my rating down, I figure the others can give different ratings if they want.
