Very late post: Got food poisoning from the United Lounge in LAX before the flight and had a terrible, dehydrated first day in NYC — was worried that I wouldn't even be able to enjoy Atomix.
However, I have to say that this was a fantastic experience. I think everything but the cod milt (maybe that's just me having it for the first time and not being familiar with it) was fantastic, despite my poor appetite and fear of throwing up. My partner says it was the best fine dining experience she's been to by far.
Everything was light on the palette, refreshing, and had a great balance of flavors and textures. Several dishes had nice acidity, which I always appreciate. Most memorably: The truffle-based dessert caught me off guard — The slight savoriness and sweetness worked wonderfully together. It was the highlight of the sweet courses.
The service was impeccable. The staff were professional but also conversational. It was great getting to talk with familiar faces all throughout the night — it added a level of personal touch to the service (I hate the introducing the meal, a one word "enjoy" and retreat from the table on repeat for 10-12 times all night)
Also very glad to see there were a lot of watch enthusiasts working at Atomix! Saw a guy with a Nomos, and got to talk with some seasoned collectors in the kitchen at the end of the night.
Also: Shoutout to Jordan the sommelier! Thank you for the taste of the '04 P2! Picked up a bottle for my collection afterwards!

Looks great glad you enjoyed! Gotta say though I might’ve been a little disappointed to not have received a meat course
