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]
