Atlantic Grill

The restaurant week menu does not have lots of choices. I had salmon for the main course. It cooked really good. I love the taste so much! And the dessert was like thai style coconut rice, which I enjoyed a lot!

We had a wonderful lunch here prior to a matinée at Lincoln Center. The food was excellent and the service was very thoughtful. My salmon was excellent. The sushi roll was also wonderful. I will make a point of coming back!

I went there for dinner on a Thursday night. This location seems very busy even on a Thursday. At the beginning, the service was terrific, I made the reservation for 6:30. Most of us arrived at 6:15pm and we were seated right away. I ordered Shrimp Maki, Pan-​Roasted Faroe Island Salmon and Triple Chocolate Torte. The shrimp Maki was good but not impressive. My favorite was the Pan-​Roasted Faroe Island Salmon. It was delicious. The skin was crispy and the salmon was fresh and juicy. The Triple Chocolate Torte was average. After the desserts arrived, I feel like the waiters were pushy with the drinks. We being asked by three different waiters if we wanted something to drink. They asked us like 3 – 4 times. Even we said «No, Thanks», they kept asking.

Went for restaurant week lunch. Food was delicious and service was very friendly and attentive

My experience last night ¹⁄₁₅ was marginal. I haven’t been in a while. The lamb used in the pappardelle was too gamie, maybe a t was beyond the age? Too bad. Wait staff was ok border on the annoying, my party was busy with work at times, she was bothered by this, sorry you require our attention, may she was trying to clock out?

Given its proximity to Lincoln Center, the restaurant is a good choice for pre– or post-​performance dining. The menu is small and changes often, but they consistently have good to very good options. Nothing earth-​shattering, but rarely disappointing. It’s pricey, but standard for the area. The brunch is a decent deal (while not expensive, it’s actually a bit cheaper than the average for the area… and very good)!
Favorites: The lobster bisque is very good — creamy and rich. Some of the sushi rolls are definitely worth a try, particularly the miso chile lobster salmon roll and spicy crab and tuna roll. The tuna tartare is very good as well. Eggs benedict, crab cake benedict, and scrambled eggs popover are all great for brunch and all less than $ 20.

It’s right by the Lincoln Center! Great place for dinner after a show. The interior is quite fancy but nothing remarkable. The size of the restaurant is also smaller than I expected.
The hamachi + something sushi roll was incredible! I was seriously blown away. One of the best rolls I’ve ever had.
The branzino was also amazing at first but its magic slowly diminished after several bites. The papardelle was also good but it got a bit dull after a few bites.
Do NOT get the fries. The fries were super salty. No bueno.

Delightful start to finish. Ordered a $ 130 bottle of champagne, but on hearing what we were actually wanting, brought us a $ 40 bottle that was absolutely perfect. I so appreciate somewhere more interested in getting it «right» than upselling for the sake of a few extra dollars. We recommend asking for Robert– his service was wonderful.

Great location, okay food with tiny portions, lovely service.
We made a reservation for Atlantic Grill bc of its close proximity to Lincoln Center, perfect for our pre-​opera meal. The food was decent, but the portions were tiny for its size, and you’re left looking for second dinner shortly after. If I’m going to drop $ 33 – 44 on an entrée, I want to be full for a couple hours at least!
They have a $ 48 three-​course pre-​theater prix fixe, but the entrees weren’t the most exciting (chicken, salmon, and jumbo shrimp) so we decided to order a la carte. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly albeit it was a tiny piece. It was served with a small side salad with radishes. The swordfish may have been a touch overcooked, but the kimchee broth needed more salt (and the «korean gnocchi» is just rice cakes/dduk).The papperdelle with lamb and pecorino seemed okay (I didn’t try this one), though some parts were uncooked. And the red snapper special with the potato purée was delicious but was nowhere filling for any human over 75lb. Even with sides of fries and broccolini, it wasn’t enough.
Since we were still hungry, we then ordered pumpkin ice cream, chocolate molten cake, and the banana pudding for dessert. The former two were delicious, but the banana pudding was incredibly underwhelming. You’re better off skipping their banana pudding and going to Magnolia Bakery a few blocks away, for half the price too.
Our server Robert was attentive and patient, continually checking on us throughout the meal and making sure our waters were always full. But a few hiccups include the cramped space — servers kept bumping into us during the meal — and the bread basket (as cold as the 30 degree weather outside) came mad late, nearly 20 minutes after we ordered, and just 5 minutes before our entrees came out.
Sadly, I doubt I will be returning, but I hope they consider decreasing the price or increasing the portion (unlikely, but worth a shot).
Notes:
— Bathrooms are downstairs (I wonder if this is handicap accessible though?)
— Private dining room in the back, good for large groups
— They have a bar area in front!
— Most of their menu is listed on their website.
— They also have an east side location on 77^th and 3^rd.

This was my first experience at Atlantic Grill. The atmosphere is very nice, an upscale bistro. We had a three course dinner. My appetizer was a spicy tuna roll. Nice presentation and the heat was perfect and yummy. My main dish was grilled cod with clam chowder sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked and moist. Dessert was a molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream which was ok. It was kind of dry. I had better molten chocolate cakes before. Overall the food was good but I have had better for the money spent. Service was very good.

Had an amazing experience here. My friend and I decided to check this spot out for my birthday. We were recommended this place and absolutely loved it!
The host greeted us and sat us down. Immediately we were offered champagne and told the specials. We started with an oyster sampler. I recommend either going the full on seafood route or the entrée route. We kinda mixed both. I kinda wished the server would’ve recommended that we either started with the oysters and sushi first then order the entrée and side.
The sushi from the sushi bar was extremely fresh. Each bite left my mouth tingling with decliciousness. We also ordered the tuna tartar, scallop and a side of Brussel sprouts to share. The tuna had a bit of lemon zest and came with guacamole. The scallop entrée had just the perfect amount with yellow rice. And the Brussel sprouts perfectly balanced out the meal.
We were stuffed by the end of our meal. I will definitely come back for the superb service and fresh food.

I hesitate to write a contrary review but here goes… today (Dec 5^th. 2015) for a Saturday pre fix lunch @12:15 pm… only to find that they had no prefix lunch on weekends.
Ok– we ordered ala carte. Glassware was cloudy, and the flatware was dirty.
No bread basket was put on our table, but others had a bread basket – did I mention that we love bread???
Ok. on to the food.
Dumplings were outstanding! Salmon burger was fresh, bright and tasty, an excellent choice! Crabcake BLT was ok, albeit a bit fishy. FF were over salted and a bit soggy, Wasabi potato chips were fine.
So it was ok, just not great. We went across the street for dessert at the Magnolia Bakery– YUM! My favorite!

I came here for a work lunch event. The place is huge, with a few different rooms and big sushi bar. Their butternut squash soup was delicious, garnished with shreds of Brussels sprouts. I had the Salmon which was cooked to perfection and came with an assortment of winter vegetables. The peach tart was okay and oddly came with a fennel ice cream that actually complemented it well.

This high end bistro pub atmosphere is located across from Lincoln center making it perfect for dining pre or post performance.
They actually are affiliated to the theaters in some alliance (as many of the eateries in this immediate vicinity) to ensure you get to your seat in time.
Good olé American food focusing on fishey dishes and meat but great veggie options too.
There are several restaurants door-​to-​door here on the sidewalk and they include outdoor dining but frankly I’d rather eat inside than have to’s smell the polluted Street exhaust.
The atmosphere is exceptionally class act for higher energy like you’re in one big great party or some high-​end cheers bar.
I’ve seen some celebrities here TV mostly, anchors, talk show people and so it’s always interesting to people watch.
Enjoy a drink at the bar the bar peeps are a blast to chat with.

I dined this Friday evening at The Atlantic Grill Restaurant right across the street I booked a frok Lincoln Center. I made my reservation here on open table. I mentioned in the comments that it was my birthday. When I arrived I was greeted warmly by the manager and throughout the meal the staff was incredibly doting and attentive as if to make up for my dining alone. I chatted with the waitress and the host who all wished me felicitations and brought me desert with a candle. When the check came they had insisted on charging me only for my entrée in spite of my having had oysters, a salad entrée and desert. I was so touched by this gesture. It was such unexpected kindness. Please patronize the establishment of you are attending the opera. The food was delectable!
I highly recommend the «east west» oysters and the «Heirloom Beet salad». I immensely enjoyed the «Diver Scallops» as well.

Atlantic Grill is a fabulous choice for a classy, fresh, delicious meal if you’re craving seafood, sushi, salads, or a great burger.
Had the pleasure of coming here with a few coworkers during the week for lunch and immediately noticed how crowded it was. Definitely make a reservation for a party during peak hours. The restuarant itself is beautifully decorated with a large space filled to the brim with tables.
I ordered the thai sushi roll which was incredibly fresh and had an interesting flavor combination. The spicy tuna roll was also freshly prepared. The rolls are not cheap by any means, but for the quality I received I did not mind the higher prices.
Would absolutely return to try more of their menu — highly recommend for a nice sit-​down lunch or dinner with friends or family.

Came here for restaurant week
started out with the peach salad + basil shrimp roll
extremely fresh everything
salmon + rainbow trout entrée
again super fresh on the seafood
perfectly executed salmon (medium rare) and the rainbow trout is just delicious
desserts were a bit sweet on my taste
really want to try the seafood tower next time… saw it on someone’s table and it was amazing

Always enjoyed the food and drink at Atlantic Grill – «Bar Only»
Stopped at the bar. The female bartender made a sensational Seasonal Cosmopolitan.
Bar service is always superb!!!
Came to Atlantic Grill to meet friends prior to a Lincoln Center performance.
Originally made our reservation through Opentable for 5:00 PM. I checked in with no problem. The maître d’ had asked me if we were seeing a 7:30 or 8 o’clock performance at Lincoln Center. I did mention we were attending the 7:30 performance.
This maître d’ has always been wonderful.
My friends came. We entered the dining room. At that time, the server was dynamite explaining all the details of tonight’s specials. I started with a Watermelon and Blue Crab Salad. My friends had the Sashimi Salad. No problem at that time. Appetizers were great!
My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the Filet Mignon, Diver Scallops and Squid with Linguine entrées.
The only issue was the check. (The same problem happened last year during table service). We waited too long. We finally walked over to the server and asked for the check. Anyway, the check was finally brought to us.
Highly recommend restaurant management hire more servers on weekends in order to handle large crowds which might’ve prevented this service incident again.

Cadre agréable et accueil chaleureux.
Bonne cuisine, service aimable, carte variée.
Prix légèrement élevé pour le niveau gastronomique. Mais sur cet île, tout est surfait et plus coûteux qu’ailleurs. Snobisme et insularité obligent !

How amazing is it to have restaurant week?! It truly is amazing, the deal itself is spectacular: $ 25 for an appetizer, entrée and dessert pp for lunch. My bf and my parents got the opportunity to try this place out and I am so glad we did!
The waiter was beyond attentive and created a memorable lunch experience. The food was delicious!!! As an appetizer I had a spicy sushi roll, which melted right into my taste buds every time I had a fresh roll! I went ahead and tried their salmon as my entrée dish. What can I say, it was filling, delicious, worth trying and was not afraid of getting food poising. Finally I had the chocolate option for dessert. I honestly, can’t even describe how delicious it all was. Just go and eat here! You will not be let down.

Contrary to most of the reviews, Atlantic Grill didn’t impress me that much– the food was delicious, but not mind-​blowing; the service was decent, but not impeccable; the ambiance was comfortable, but not relaxing (it was very crowded).
In fact, I felt like I was eating at an upscale chain restaurant. I suppose the Atlantic Grill is a «chain» in that it’s owned by BR Guest Hospitality, which also manages Bill’s Bar & Burger, Blue Fin, Blue Water Grill, Dos Caminos, Isabella’s, Ocean Grill, Ruby Foo’s, Strip House, Wildwood Barbeque, and 675 Bar in NYC.
I had the Sautéed Maine Lobster & Herb Gnocchi in pistachio pesto with heirloom cauliflower, and arugula in lobster brandy sauce. There were probably fewer than 10 pieces of gnocchi on the plate, and most of the dish was cauliflowers. The lobster was poached well, but again not enough for the price I paid. I liked the bitter flavor from the arugula that balanced the creamy brandy sauce. My friend had the Scottish Salmon with NJ sweet corn, summer squash, white beans, and roasted red pepper coulis. He finished the dish entirely, so I’m sure he enjoyed it!
