Four Stars
This is where you want to eat on a sunny afternoon in DUMBO. There is seating outside, decent cocktails, and healthy-ish food. We sat outside out of the direct sunlight. I had the Cobb Salad ($12) and Tiffany had Arugula Salad ($12+ $6 Shrimp). The waiter was personable. The Lemon and Lavender soda ($4.5) was quite goodThe plating was nice. The food was good but lackluster. The Cobb was expensive for what you get. The romaine was fresh but roughly cut. The avocado came in one big quarter piece. The bacon came in big spiraling pieces. The two half pieces of hard boiled was done very well. The tomatoes were halved and tasted great. There was no chicken because it was add-on. There was no cheese, no corn, and the dressing was dill flavored. The arugula salad had Ricotta Salata, Cucumber, Tomato, and bunch of Lemon Vinaigrette. The Butterflied Shrimp were big plump and tasty. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and experience.
My family and I dined here the other night and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. We were looking for a casual yet polished spot with dog-friendly outdoor seating and Atrium fit the bill!
I was psyched from the minute I saw the menu; this restaurant clearly cares about fresh, well-crafted food.
We ordered the branzino, cod, homemade bread (you have to pay for it but it's worth it) and several glasses of rosé (don't judge me). Both the branzino and cod were light and flavorful. I preferred the cod because you just can't beat that chorizo flavor.
Our server was extremely doting and kind — even when our typically well-behaved dog decided to bark at some other dogs walking by. Sorry!
Overall, Dumbo Atrium is a delicious spot. I'll be back!
Typical hipster restaurant which is right up my ally! Decor and ambiance is really nice and the kitchen is open so you can see what's going on. The menu had a good variety of meat & vegetarian dishes so it was perfect for our Sunday brunch.
We got the smoked salmon and speck crostinis…delicious! The salmon was buttery and I loved that the capers were fried…so different and tasty. The speck was also really good, some fatty pieces but overall tasty. The gazpacho was perfect and refreshing and had a nice spice to it. And finally we got the french toast which is pretty much dessert…it came with sour cream which sounds odd but tastes great and a blueberry compote type of thing.
The only downside was the non-alcoholic drink. We got the lemonade and for the price it wasn't anything great and it seemed watered down a bit too much.
Great place with great cocktail!
I LOVE the green plant wall they had on the side. It's so cute and adds such a green feel to this place! i love the feel you get from this place..elegant but also eco and cozy at the same time.
We did not order any wine but I see that they were voted as the #1 best wine list by wine spectator for 2015. So def going to come back and try out their pairing 🙂
I love everything about this place from the cocktails to the food and ambiance.
We came in on a sunday brunch right before heading to dumbo bouldering. Made the reservation night before for party of 6.
I had the blood orange mimosa which was very refreshing. it was combined with blood orange syrup instead of the fresh orange tho but it was still good.
and my friends had the pisco cocktail. It's so cute our bartender made a cute latte art on the foam that looks like what they would do with coffee! how cute!
for main i had the fried chicken. it was real good!! very well marinated and crisp. and the bacon and poach egg that came with was to die for!
for app we had the smoked salmon + bread it was real good too.
my friends each got different stuff. we had burger, fish dish and also benedicts. everything was great. I would come back again! the place is also big enough to not feel crowded.
Food: great variety.. Split a bunch of things with a group: boards (only complaint here is that you cannot combine meat + cheese so it's either 3 meat or 3 cheese)- we opted for both and they were amazing, oysters-decent but would not recommend, cod, steak and lobster pasta dish all of which were fantastic
Service: excellent service.. Waiter was very knowledgable about the menu and the different options of cheeses and meats giving very detailed descriptions.. If you had questions about the wine there is a sommelier available on staff
Ambience: love the vibe here.. One wall has moss and plants growing on it, some table outside as well as a loft inside.. Open kitchen as well
Atrium is gorgeous.
Service is attentive and incredibly friendly.
Highly recommend if you're in the area for the experience alone!!
The food was solid, but 3 stars.
FOOD
Smoked Salmon Crostini – Delicious, high quality smoked salmon. I just had really terrible smoked salmon a few days before in Fort Lauderdale, so I really appreciated this dish
Ricotta Crostini – Yum! If I had to choose between the two, I recommend this one. Ricotta + speck + balsamic vinegar + honey… flavor explosion
* the crostinis were the highlight of the meal
Fried Chicken & Waffle – Solid. I love fried chicken so I'm biased towards feeling positive… but the chicken wasn't particularly spicy or flavorful which I've come to expect after being spoiled by eating way too many fried chicken sandwiches at Fuku+ (Midtown Manhattan). Omg why are those sandwiches so addicting? So bad for my waistline… Anyway back to Atrium Dumbo. The waffle could have been a bit firmer. The dish came with a poached egg which was a nice addition.
Croque Monsieur – (I didn't try this only because I don't like this dish in general, so this is all from my friend.) The bread was way too hard to eat so she just scrapped off the top portion of cheese + ham portion. That was good/satisfying
DRINK
Blood Orange Mimosa – I didn't realize this wasn't freshly squeezed blood orange. I don't mind orange juice + sparkly for a normal mimosa, but there was something odd about this Blood Orange Mimosa. I read in other reviews that they might add a blood orange syrup, which would make sense. Don't get this drink
Glad we made reservations for brunch, as we noticed most people were told the wait was 30+ mins. We were greeted by a lovely host and luckily we had a rez and were sat outside immediately. While we preferred to sit outside on a beautiful, warm day- I had a look at the inside of the restaurant and thought it was gorgeous. Loved all the plants! Outside is nice too, with a great view of the Brooklyn bridge.
Service was quick and attentive- although not the friendliest, but no worries- we appreciated that we got our drinks and food right away and were pleased with the results. Food was good and we enjoyed our meals.
Menu looks great – there were so many things I wanted to order- which means I will need to come back again.
I've been meaning to stop by here for the longest time, since I've been a long time patron of their sister restaurant, Colonie. The stars finally aligned last night, and I found myself right at the bar in front of a friendly bartender for happy hour. It was a quick refueling stop – before meeting up with a friend in the park. I had a frothy, artisanal spiced pear cocktail with a half dozen of their oysters from VA. My cocktail was as yummy as it was beautiful, and the oysters were delicate and delicious. Even with a generous tip, the bill was less than $20 (Perhaps the only real deal left in this pricey neighborhood!)
It made my day, which was already going pretty well.
