Atlas you primordial Titan - you left me wishing for more. \n\nGreat concept, and truthfully, really great food. They offer a 3 or 4 course prix fixe menu that is creative, seasonal, and delicious. I just loved the root vegetable salad and the pork belly amuse bouche. The lamb was wonderfully done, although I did not think it went well with its bed of kale. Unfortunately, the scallops were cold and slightly chewy - I need my scallops to melt in my mouth. \n\nThe space is very small and intimate. Note that if you are seated in the middle of the room, you will feel like the other guests are very close to you. You may get bumped into as other guests head to the restroom (which is on the other side of the wine store, past the dingy mirrors, the wood-paneled bar, and the 1970s couch). I enjoy the fact that Atlas is BYOB, and that they are conveniently located within a wine store with a great selection. I do not like that they charge a corkage fee for a bottle of wine that they just watched me buy. Seems to lessen the experience. \n\nAnd I think that is what is so disappointing.. For a place that boasts haute cuisine and fine dining, you expect a little romance, a little charm - more of an experience. Instead, you find yourself sitting in the back of a drab wine store, sipping overpriced wine, trying to avoid watching the neighboring table eat their meal. Don't get me wrong, the food was good, but at this level, you are also paying for the atmosphere and the experience, both of which are lacking at Atlas Bistro. There are several other places in the valley that serve excellent, seasonal cuisine, and if you are looking for a place with charm, I recommend you go to one of those instead.
