Reviews for Atlas Cafe in Courtenay, BC
Was a recommendation to us and we were unsure but willing to try new things. We ordered their steak for dinner and was not... disappointed. The steak was a good size not some small thing posing as an 8oz. And the flavors were amazing!!! The portionswere a good size as well. Would most definitely recommend Atlas to all. I would say this was one of the most amazing experiencesI have had in a restaurant! Read more
This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes and beautiful presentation. I recommend... to everyone! We would like to come back here again and again, specially because the waiter William, in addition to beingfriendly, gave us the best recommendations. We ate dishes that we would not nave ordered without his recommendations. Also itis kids friendly, the kids menu is well varied. Read more
This place came recommended by a friend. It is a quaint little restaurant that is compliant with Covid protocols. I felt very... comfortable and safe coming here. Service is top notch. Our server was pleasant and knowledgeable of the food that is available. The food is excellent. Very tasty, well presented. It did take a little while to get our food but they were very busy.Customers were waiting to get in, it is that popular. Like many restaurants, they are working hard to get staffing levels upso those that are there are working very very hard and I applaud them for their services. I definitely recommend this place toeveryone. Edit July 16 2022, came back again and not disappointed. Had the pork sandwich. Service great, food very good. Glad Icame back. Read more
We got here just before the crowd and was able to get a table in an impressively engineered and earthquake proof patio. The food... was good and hit the spot. But because the server did not get one of our orders correctly, we did not have a complete order tostart. We would have gladly come back for breakfast the next day, but they were closed. Read more
It?s probably one of the worst restaurants I?ve ever been? The drink, Asian Pear, was a light cocktail without any depth, it?s... like anyone could make it. The appetizers: Chicken Yakitori, was the only highlight of the night. The sauce was excellent andthe chicken hearts were cooked perfectly. Pork Tenderloin, the meat was dry and the vegetable slaw was too sour that took awaythe brown butter. Seafood chowder, it?s like a seafood medley with clams salmon cod etc. the flavour was decent, not the bestneither was the worst I?ve had, nothing special about it. Entrée: Buddha Bowl, where do I even start? The presentation wasreally bad because they took out the pulled pork which was supposed to be on the side, the sushi rice was not sticky, the saucewas simply miso concentrate, the pickled ginger was so overwhelming. The House Special pulled pork was EXTREMELY salty even withrice and the prawns were lack of flavour. I would?ve given minus scores for this dish if I could. $19+$6+$8.5 for this bowl wasjust not worth it. The dessert: Crème brûlée, the layer of the sugar was so think which made it difficult to consume. Thecustomer service was not great either. Our waitress forgot to provide us with the cutlery and started taking our empty disheswhile I was still eating. She even accidentally took the plate away when there?s still food in it. All in all, I?ll neverrecommend this place to anyone who is seeking good food. Read more
My friend recommended this place. I was a bit skeptical going into it because they didn't have fries as a side. Glad I was... wrong because the salad was fresh and full of flavor and the burger had a great char taste to it. My friend meal also lookedhardy and delicious too. Service was friendly and quick. The ambient in the dining area was comfortable. Read more
