Best Thanksgiving experience our family has ever had. The ambience in the room was warm, friendly and comfortable. The service was attentive and the food was delicious. The only wrong choice you can make on the menu is a pistachio dessert that is served in a puff pastry that looks like a bagel. I can honestly say I don’t think I have ever ordered a dessert and not eaten it because it just wasn’t good. Had no flavor and didn’t present well either. Everyone else’s desserts were amazing and we all shared. Hoping to make Atlas a new Thanksgiving tradition l.
