"In a serious departure from the rest of the neighborhood's establishments, Atelier Crenn is among the crème de la crème of SF fine dining. Chef Dominique Crenn's menu is written as a poem, so best of luck figuring out what you'll be eating. Just trust in Crenn that spending most of your paycheck on one meal will be worth it. You can take the Michelin Guide’s word for it: They awarded Atelier Crenn three stars in 2018, making Crenn the first woman chef to achieve that honor in the United States, and has held its ranking since. Bar Crenn is also a worthy stop for drinks or the multi-course Le Comptoir tasting experience." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"Alongside Corey Lee, Dominque Crenn is one of the few San Francisco chefs who can claim three Michelin stars. For Crenn, that restaurant would be her eponymous Atelier Crenn, recently redesigned to resemble a The Menu-esque platonic ideal of a fine dining restaurant. Crenn won a James Beard Award in 2018 for the Best Chef: West category, which has since been renamed to Best Chef: California." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Dominique Crenn might be one of the most famous chefs in the world, but her longtime partner and pastry chef Juan Contreras is at the heart of that kitchen and played no small part in making Atelier Crenn the triple Michelin-starred powerhouse it remains today. The menus read like poems, the dishes are arranged like ocean and woodland scenes, and many of the courses feature revelatory confections, chocolates, and pastries." - Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
"Around 20 years later, Dominique launched her first restaurant, Atelier Crenn, in which ideas abound and the tasting menu is presented in the form of a poem." - Le Guide MICHELIN
