Atlas Buckhead

Atlanta’s artistic American cuisine
VERIFIED LUXURY

The atmosphere of artistry at Atlas Buckhead, The St. Regis Atlanta’s spectacular signature restaurant, extends throughout the 101-seat dining room. The extravagant eatery has an extraordinary collection of fine art, including both rotating installations and permanent masterpieces by the likes of Picasso, van Gogh and Chagall. The immersive dining experience includes an open kitchen where chef Freddy Money leads talented kitchen and pastry teams that create frame-worthy culinary art every night.

Since opening in January 2015, Atlas has made an indelible impression around Atlanta with an epicurean elegance that seamlessly pairs a remarkable collection of fine art with bold, inventive tasting menus that blend seasonal American cuisine with European refinement. Each dish is playful yet refined, telling a story that’s full of texture, flavor and a bold palette of colors.

Our Inspector's Highlights
  • Not to be outdone by the Henri Matisse piece hanging on the wall, chef Money approaches each dish with the discerning eye of a sculptor.
  • As you’re nibbling, you can see the culinary team in motion in your peripheral through the open kitchen. If you can score a table somewhere between said kitchen and the sometimes-animated bar, that’s your sweet spot.
  • Consider the Tavern to be Atlas’ more easygoing side, where you can nibble on sliders, sip on gin martinis and listen to live music every Wednesday and Friday night.
  • Proceed a bit farther into the restaurant and you’ll run into a stylish bar that almost glows from the polished countertops and moody lights behind the bottles.
  • Walk past the glass case of vintage liquors and things open up into a dining room full of brown leather chairs, booths covered in rich green fabrics and a museum-worthy collection from some of the most preeminent names in art history.
Things to Know
  • Nibble on bar bites and sip signature cocktails at The Tavern starting at 4 p.m. every day. Atlas serves dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 5 until 10 p.m..
  • The Tavern is certainly more casual than the rest of Atlas, but you still will want to look your best. Nice jeans and a blouse or button down would be appropriate here, while in the dining room, you’ll be more comfortable in something a little more dressed up.
The Food
  • Instead of the black angus filet being ruined with too many accoutrements, it only needs crème fraîche potato puree and charred spring onions to do the talking.
  • The same goes for the Atlas burger, a dry-aged and wagyu treat that says it all simply and splendidly with aged cheese and Vidalia onions.
  • The most over-the-top moment at dinner might be the times when the server tempts your table with three or four varieties of fresh bread.
The Drinks
  • A glass case of vintage liquors behind the glass bar is impressive — Macallan, various cognacs in blown-glass bottles, it’s all here.
  • Vino lovers will appreciate a wine list with pours from as close as New York and as distant as Portugal.
  • Still, it’s with the cocktails that the art-appreciating establishment truly shows off its creative side. You’ll find your traditional concoctions, sure, but allow the waiter to tell you about a yet-unnamed drink made with port, ginger beer and house-made bitters.
