Atera is a restaurant in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City.
Atera replaced the restaurant Compose, which closed after chef Nick Curtin departed. [1] The owner, Jodi Richard, overhauled the restaurant's kitchen facilities to attract Matthew Lightner, a chef at Castagna in Portland, Oregon, so that he would develop a new concept to replace Compose. [1] Enhancements to the space included the installation of a large test kitchen in the restaurant's basement. [2] Compose officially closed in July 2011. [1] Atera opened in March 2012, serving a $150 tasting menu with optional wine pairings for an additional $90. [3]
Lightner left Atera in 2015. [4] Richard hired Ronny Emborg to replace him. [4] After Lightner's departure, the restaurant closed for several months. [5] It was reopened in May 2015 with a new menu designed by Emborg. [5]
Farm.One, a hydroponic produce company, began using the restaurant's basement space as a farm beginning in 2017. [6] The restaurant occasionally provided some patrons tours of the farm facilities. [7] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant offered takeout through delivery service Caviar. [8]
In a 2012 review of the restaurant, during Lightner's tenure, New York Times critic Pete Wells was mostly positive. [9]
The restaurant received two Michelin stars in 2012, [10] its first rating by Michelin. [11] The restaurant has maintained its two-star rating since 2012. [12] [13] [14]
