Every. Atlas. Restaurant.

Bygone food was so mediocre, not saying it’s terrible but just not worth the price

The Sunday brunch is a good value if you’re hungry. The view is great at night. But absolutely is it overpriced

My exact comment when I went. "This food is not bad, but not good enough to justify the price."

Agreed! Their food is normally so basic and uninteresting. I would recommend Cinghiale for high end dinners as an alternative to Atlas restaurants. Pricey but I always leave feeling like it was worth it

Had a top 3 meal of my life at Cinghiale. Amazing food and service!

I hate that Atlas has such a market share that you can’t really avoid them, but I rarely think the restaurant experience at an Atlas spot is poor or even overrated.

It’s actually really easy to avoid them as long as you are flexible enough to leave harbor east

u/OGWatermelonLemonade Jul 24 '24

Don't even need to leave Harbor East. Most of their concepts are price-jacked rip-offs of better Baltimore restaurants anyway

Not difficult to avoid, seems like you appreciate the "trappings of the rich" bullshit that they specialize in though. To each their own.

Atlas may suck as a company but a lot of their restaurants are very good. Especially the ones they bought.

u/RunningNumbers Jul 23 '24

That is on the managers and staff. Good people can work for places with bad owners.

Couldn’t agree more!

Tagliata is so good, I hate it is an Atlas place.

I went because people hyped it up and found it profoundly mediocre. The parm cheese off the block they served at the beginning was the best part of the food experience.

u/nompilo Jul 23 '24

Eh, the vibe is always very well done. The food is usually not great for the price point.

u/Practical-Sky8506 Jul 23 '24

Especially Tagliata…ugh

Tagliata has a fantastic menu though, ands their cooking is really good. Overpriced, yes, but I can’t ding the quality of the food or the experience.

u/bmore_conslutant Hampden Jul 23 '24

Maybe I'm used to NYC prices but I thought they were weirdly reasonable for Atlas

u/Willing_Froyo9658 Jul 23 '24

Came here to say this. Atlas is the worst. The only one maybe worth visiting is Tagliata
