Atlas Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Columbia Township

We had high expectations when we made reservations. Everything Is hard was how high end and classy it was. So my first impression was that I needed to bring my expectations down. The atmosphere was fine, but it had a lot of different vibes going on inside. Not what I pictured for high end or classy, especially when the staff was wearing jeans and tshirts. The food was good. I wouldn't rate it out of this world. Just good. Not really a fan of the mahi mahi ceviche. The cut up pieces weren't really proportionate to each other so you couldn't get all the flavors in one bit. I was impressed with the menu and all the vegan, vegetarian, dairy free and gluten free options. Having a dairy allergy it's great to look at the menu and know what you can order without having to bombard the waitress with 20 different questions that she has to take back to the kitchen. My only other disappointment was that they were extremely slow. However watching everyone it seemed like they had plenty of workers and servers. More than I've seen in other restaurants. I think we counted 15 people that we could see. That's how long we waited, enough to question if they were understaffed that we counted the staff. Long enough that when it was time to pay my bill my server didn't come around back to our table even after taking an order...

Got to the place around 7pm with my wife. Sat at the corner of the bar. We each got a drink, they were fine. Wanted to place an order for some appetizers and more drinks, took about 30 min to do that and bartender was helping others and acting like we were invisible.

Finally got to order appetizer...Wife is gluten free and asked a question about the peppers, he said he would get back to us and never heard back. I also wanted a shrimp appetizer but couldn't order it until 20 min later when we got the peppers. Peppers were good, when I finally got my shrimp, one was still frozen in the middle...very off putting.

Placed our dinner orders. Waited quite a while. New bar tender asked us how we liked our food we hadn't gotten it yet and she said, oh I thought you had. She comes back 2-3 min later. My lamb burger was atrocious. It was very well done (ordered medium) but only luke warm, bun wasn't grilled like it said and was falling apart due to grease. Wife said taco shells were soggy also. We think they forgot our food and reheated it...

$170 dollars later I'm at home with an upset stomach and I never even got to eat (our undeserved $50 cash tip included).

Don't think we will be back.

UPDATE: Wife also got 'glutened' so if you are gluten sensitive or celiac, stay away...

Everything went perfectly in a very crowded restaurant on a Saturday night! The management and serving staff was truly excellent. The decor and environment was mid-century modern stunning with gorgeous, more updated colors. Not a chartreuse or avocado green in site, but beautiful, warm terracottas & creams with pops of teal. A spectacular, immaculately clean bar, which alone was impressive. The ladies room was a treat as well! Gorgeous, intense green shiplap with a tropical salmon colored wallpaper & salmon ceilings. The real finisher was the gold accents! And I have even eaten or drank anything yet! I wanted one of every appetizer, but settled for the Peruvian chicken skewers, Mediterranean lamb meatballs & shishito peppers. All came with a delicious sauce on side. All were perfect. I also indulged in a Pear Elderflower Martini & a Gold Rush, which is now my new favorite drink. I had the most delicious ribeye, French fries and asparagus I have ever eaten. Including Ruth Chris', Morton's & Fleming. This meal topped it. Everyone loved their meals & we were all so engaged in our EXPERIENCES that I only got pics of family. Honestly, this place is worth the drive. Something for EVERYONE, done...
