 Atlas made news when its founders relocated to San Francisco, leaving it in the very competent hands of Bryan and Diane Carr, owners of Pomme restaurant in Clayton. They’ve promised to maintain its charm, its simple menu and, most of all, its way with desserts. The menu is short and changes seasonally, sporting simple foods that are imaginatively prepared, such as grilled lamb chops with zucchini, tomato coulis and mint or pan-roasted duck breast with cherries, spinach and a potato croquette. The wine list, too, is brief. Then there are those desserts. Try the marjolaine, hazelnut and almond meringue layered with crème blanche and dark chocolate, or Tibka’s chocolate cake, with apricots, caramel and ganache. Atlas is open until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights for dessert, appetizers, coffee and drinks, making this a good pit stop after the theater or a movie.
