The restaurant is great for steak lovers, but the menu offers many other options that will please guests like salads, soups, raw bar specialties, crudo, sushi rolls, seafood entrees, and pasta dishes. Executive Chef Limon, who honed his culinary skills at Peter Luger's, has crafted a dinner menu that is sure to please.
We stopped by early on a Sunday evening for dinner. Start your dinner with their Tuna Tartare, a savory dish with avocado, red bell peppers, shallots and vinaigrette. You don't want to miss the Maryland Crab Cake appetizer, full of fresh, succulent crabmeat with lemon dijon and aioli. For a main, steaks are prepared and presented to perfection. The 22-ounce Prime NY Sirloin Steak can be shared. Complement your steak with Bordelaise Sauce, Brown Mint Sauce, Bearnaise Sauce, Au Poivre Sauce, or Chimichurri Sauce. Select a few sides to round out your meal such as Truffled Creamed Corn, Mac & Cheese, Sauteed Asparagus, German Potatoes, and more. Another popular Atto entrée is Lobster Risotto, perfectly seasoned and full of chunks of tender lobster meat. Other tempting main courses include Broiled Salmon, Chicken Paillard, and their signature Atto Burger with topped with cheddar cheese, jalapenos, and onions.
Although dinner at Atto is incredibly satisfying, you will likely want to try one of their scrumptious desserts. A house made delight is their rich Chocolate Souffle served with vanilla bean ice cream.
Sushi lovers will appreciate choices that include Wild Salmon Roll with avocado, cucumber, asparagus, chef's mango sauce, and sesame seeds; New York Roll with halibut, crispy quinoa, jalapeno, avocado, baby herbs, and wasabi mayonnaise: and their Vegan Roll with mango, cucumber, spinach, and ginger.
