A few months ago I ate at the Atelier. The food was excellent but they should supply a magnifying glass and tweezers

since the portions are very small. There are few tables, so most people end up sitting at the bar. I think that all the food for both Robuchon restaurants is prepared at the Atelier. About a year ago I ate at Le Cirque in Bellagio and thought their food was better than the Atelier's.
And the seating/tables/bar for Atelier are VERY uncomfortable.
I agree 100% with the above assesment.I will also add that even with the "reduced"prices I felt sorry for my hostess.
