- SSteveSeattle / Eastern Washington •21 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAlways great! Exceptional this time around: mini-old-fashion, pork, chocolate torte, Rosette cookie, crumpets. Always interesting set of menu choices. Great service, nice atmosphere for a dinner with friends or family. The sommelier knows the wines he has on offer by the bottle or by the glass and does a nice job finding a wine that will work with the various dishes ordered. Every first-timer we've brought to Atoma is impressed by whatever is served that night. Atoma deserves all the recognition it has received - I'm just glad it has stayed a bit obscure for the general foodie crowd and that it is still possible to get a table if you plan a bit ahead.More infoAtoma Seattle$$$$• Contemporary American• Wallingford•4.8
