Atrium

Through an unassuming alleyway lies Atrium, a lively Los Feliz gem right on Vermont. Like a lot of spots in LA, Atrium nails the vibe check right of the bat. Inside, the vaulted ceilings and living tree makes this space feel expansive and warm. But not to be bested by the atmosphere, their food also sends a strong message. None of the mains felt super compelling for us, so we decided to just graze on many shared plates. The cabbage, burrata, squid, and cauliflower were all excellent. Make sure to order some sourdough to pair with the burrata, it will take it to the next level. Until next time.

This was one of the first places my husband and I went to when we moved here and we were welcomed so warmly. We've been to Atrium more than 2 dozen times now and we're always impressed. The seasonal menu is exciting, I really hope they bring back the lamb polenta! The atmosphere is calming and gorgeous. The staff is extremely accommodating and friendly.

I have been meaning to stop in here since it opened. I walked by with my boyfriend by chance, on the last day of the mask mandate and they were open for happy hour. I love how inconspicuous the entryway is and how surprisingly big it is inside. It's a gorgeous atmosphere and the staff were clearly happy to be back. The owner even came over and thanked us for being among the first of his returning customers, which was a nice touch. The only drawback was that unless you eat red meat, there was no substantial offering on the happy hour menu. Your options are a ham sandwich or beef burger (which boyfriend loved). I ordered the fried chickpea appetizer, fries and 1/2 dozen oysters (shared with BF) and still left hungry. Everything was delicious but it would have been nice if I had had the option to have a poultry, seafood or veggie dish as well, not just a collection of small bites. There was a salad option which didn't seem appealing to me. There is no regular menu that you can order from until 5pm so it made for an awkward date, though we both loved sitting in the brick-walled corridor. They allowed us to see the dinner menu before we left and I'm excited to try the Au Jus Chicken and sit inside. The music selection was also great. They were playing the Wu Tang album years ago when I walked by and this is what initially sold me. On the day that I finally tried it, they played very charming Americana. The HH menu was reasonably priced, the most expensive thing we ordered was my bottle of sparkling water at $7. 5 stars even though we had to go get me something to eat afterwards.

Had a happy Father’s Day dinner with my family. It was recommended by a cousin & the food & cocktails were fantastic. Our server was distracted/aloof, so service was so-so. However, we’re all getting back in to the swing of things. Maybe on the next visit, service will be perfect. The runner bringing our food to the table was perfect. We wish she was our server.
