I always feel slightly nervous about going to a restaurant or hotel which has rave reviews on Tripadvisor, as expectations are very high, and as the saying goes "nothing is ever as good or bad as you expect it to be". Atelier is an exception. My husband and I ate here at the May Bank holiday weekend and had probably...

Flattery will get you everywhere!!!
Seriously, that you have booked to return to atelier is praise indeed, and both Staff and Chef express their gratitude for the same.
Absolutely thrilled that you were satisfied with the quality of the produce, particularly the chips, and that you found the milieu convivial/relaxing.
See you soon.THANK YOU LOTS!

By far the best restaurant in Ambleside, a must if you are stopping here or live locally. All three courses were cooked to perfection and were extremely tasty. A very warm welcome and attentive service. My husband had the Sea Bass, which he said was the best he had ever had.
The toffee apple creme brulee was utterly divine, and...

'A little Consideration, a little Thought for others, makes all the difference.' (AA Milne)
Such a considerate review, and worthy of the quote.
You were a return diner, so that was extra special. Much obliged for the numerous, gracious compliments. Chef was especially chuffed.
Thank you for the recommendation. The card?? The Writer has a 'bag of tricks'!!
See you...

Their food is amazing, I had sea bass which was beautiful. I will definitely be returning with...

Booked into Atelier for the Friday night of the bank holiday weekend. I originally wanted a different restaurant but it was booked up. How glad am I that it was. Food was excellent, I had the duck and sticky toffee pudding which were gorgeous. I will definitely be going again. Book first as a lot of people came in and...

Brilliant review!!
Thank you VERY much for the incredible compliments, and for the recommendation - everyone is pleased as punch. Yes, atelier will endeavor to 'keep up the great work' and to continue working hard - complacency is not a nice word.
Do dine with us again.

I went with a group of 5 friends on Saturday night for a Hen Party meal. As we came through the door with our tiaras on and sat down we were told off for not letting front of house know we were a Hen Party...because they would have made more of a fuss!! Such a lovely welcoming place we were...

You are the cat's pajamas!!
There is a tendency to hear the words 'Hen/Stag night' and run!!!!! Your Group were smashing.
Staff and Chef are very appreciative of the fabulous sentiments, and the recommendation.
Delighted you chose atelier as your venue. Best Wishes, and have a great day, Roz.
Pop in again soon.

What a fantastic restaurant. We, and our friends, spent a long Bank Holiday weekend in Ambleside, and ate at various places. Atelier, by far, was the best. The service was second to none. Ethna greeted us on arrival (despite me not managing to open the door in front of a room full of diners), and immediately made us feel welcome...

JFK Kennedy said, 'We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.' That is exactly what atelier is doing now.
You were a smashing group, very entertaining and extremely appreciative of the food. So you deserve a humongous thank you from both Staff and Chef - especially Chef!! Yes, Sharon and Erika...

As foodies, the place we eat can make or break out weekend away and we spend as much time researching our evening meal venues as we do a...
