Savory rosette cookies arrive first at most tables, which tells you something about the chef's sense of humor and ambition. Atoma is a fine dining spot tucked into a converted Craftsman home in Wallingford, running a hyperseasonal Pacific Northwestern menu that's formal enough to take seriously and loose enough to actually enjoy. A James Beard nominee, it draws the kind of crowd that knows exactly where Canlis is, which is where the chef came from.

Rosette cookies
“Nearly every table orders a round of savory rosette cookies, one of a handful of fancy starters intended as individual servings.”
Seattle Met, 2024 -
Baked alaska
“The baked Alaska is maybe the best showcase of the team’s talents: It takes ingredients like corn silk or cheddar and somehow manages to combine those flavors into something beautiful.”

Katsu of lion's mane mushroom
“The katsu of lion’s mane mushroom is as tempting as any meat option on the menu, but the pork collar is delicious as well.”
