A'tera Elevates Scranton Dining Experience

A'tera 519, located in downtown Scranton and owned by Basalyga Hospitality, is redefining fine dining with its blend of comfort, elegance, and attentive service. Since its opening in December 2024, the establishment has garnered accolades, including winning the Cocktails, Restaurant Atmosphere, and Decor categories in this year's Best of Lackawanna County readers' choice awards.

General Manager Gabe Wilkins attributes the success to strong management and a cohesive team, emphasizing the desire to create memorable guest experiences. A'tera features an upscale atmosphere with a NYC vibe and a central bar, focusing on elevated New American cuisine. The adjacent Sergei's Live, which opened in March 2025, offers a more intimate setting with late-night drinks and live entertainment, contributing to the venue's overall appeal.

Wilkins encourages patrons to explore A'tera's recently upgraded summer menu, noting the significant improvements in the culinary offerings. He describes A'tera as a trendy and cool spot, while Sergei's Live provides a sexier ambiance. The establishment has seen immense popularity, with weekend crowds often stretching for blocks, solidifying its status as a premier destination in Northeast Pennsylvania.
