We had dinner at Atlas Social last night in downtown Napa; a cool trendy restaurant specializing in shareable small plates. We got to try a lot of different dishes without feeling stuffed! I also got to work on my sharing skills that my wife always teases me about. The dishes were innovative and unique and we loved everything.
I started with a Hamachi crudo made with preserved kumquats, horseradish and pine nuts. Most notably however was a fresh California olive oil that was drizzled over the fish. Probably one of my favorite dishes that I’ve had to date.
We then shared a salad made with field greens, chopped macadamia nuts and a macadamia nut vinaigrette, and topped with a ball of lightly fried goat cheese. It was light and delicious!
The next course consisted of grilled chicken skewers rubbed with a masala spice a top a spicy eggplant and pepper sauce and topped with pine nuts. The chicken was ground and shaped then placed on a skewer similar to the way kafka is done.

Awesome! I need to do my own concept of this dish soon!
We then shared a very unique dish: Grilled cauliflower steak on top of grapefruit with a Bernaise sauce. Sounded a little different and it was delicious! Elizabeth’s favorite dish of the night.
Next we shared a mini rabbit pot pie. This was a great combination of traditional pot pie flavors, like the gravy and vegetables, with the addition of some non traditional ingredients like local raised rabbit and a light tasting rosemary scented biscuit.
Next we shared an order of citrus braised pork belly tacos! Homemade tortillas, a cabbage slaw, salsa verde, hibiscus, and grilled pineapple made these unique and truly memorable.
For dessert, we shared two small plates. I had a mini strawberry rhubarb pie. The dough was light and perfect! The flavor right on point; not too sweet not too tart!
Elizabeth ordered a “peanut butter and jelly cheesecake.” This was a deconstructed version of a cheesecake but was delicious and does not stray from its title!
Not a quiet romantic type of dining experience, but we had a great meal and a exciting place for gathering and having a meal with friends.
