    The food was outstanding The temperature was a little on the cold side. There were only two waiters for a fully booked restaurant on Christmas Day (understandably) and they did a yeoman's job.The entire staff was very attentive and gracious. Would definitely go back. The food was that good.

    We have brunch at Atelier Florian every Sunday morning for over a year. We have had a delicious meal from a varied and enticing menu in a quiet, intimate atmosphere every week. We have gotten to know our favorite waitress, Trinity, and all the other waitstaff, from the chef (SO glad he's back!!) to the busboys. Everyone does his/her job pleasantly and professionally. The Bloody Marys are the absolute best! Every item on the Sunday Brunch menu is worth a try, from the Eggs Benedict to the "Homerun." The atmosphere is impressively understated, casual, and comfortable. Background music is pleasant while being hardly noticeable. (We miss the live guitar and piano music of the past that made the experience even more special.) The fact that we continue to go back week after week says it all. Whether we go alone or meet friends or relatives, Sunday Brunch at Atelier Florian is one of the highlights of our week.

    Gloomy Monday Night In New Haven with the weather but the cocktails, a strawberry caprioska, crafted by Walter, the manager/owner along with the beef heart skewers off the dinner menu made for the perfect night off and evening, a quick way to turn your day around. A great staple and go to spot if your at Yale and/or in downtown New Haven.
