"Le Bernardin is for old-school thrills. Atomix is for right now. Located in a Nomad townhouse with a 14-seat counter in the basement, this Korean-ish restaurant serves food that’s luxe and inventive without feeling gimmicky or overproduced. Every dish—such as langoustine with foie gras, or thinly sliced wagyu battered like french toast—comes with a detailed flashcard, and, if you drop your napkin, a server will bring you a fresh one with a pair of tongs. This restaurant provides a level of service that makes other spots look sloppy. Reservations are released online on the first of each month at 3pm. It’s important to note that the month’s entire slate of reservations becomes available on the first. So that’s your only window. There’s also an online waitlist you can join. You can also find exclusive reservations available for Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholders here.
