Atlantic Grill, Eastsidegreat dinnerI can't believe we haven't eaten here sooner!!! It was an amazing dinner- I think there are too many mediocre meals in the neighborhood and for something different went here. I can't wait to go back!6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMLove this place and is consistentlyLove this place and is consistently delicious.
Great shrimp and lobster spring roll appetizers! Beet salad with goat cheese croquettes is a must if you like beets (they're golden ones, too). Calamari is nice and tender. AMAZING Chilean sea bass entree. And banana tower is a no-brainer but the vanilla creme brulee is a close second.
Service is also thorough - called the morning of about a birthday in the group and they were ready with a candle and chocolates for my mom. Angel is an excellent waiter.
It's often busy so try to make a reservation if you have a big group. Overall, recommend.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat hot spot for fish!A happening place....Great energy, superb fish, excellent service!

We live sitting at a bar table and watching everyone who comes and goes. We love the shrimp and lobster egg rolls for starters, and a lobster or one of the fish specials, for dinner. It feels like the patrons are regulars, but there's no weird feeling of seating discrimination if you're not one.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistently excellenti have been going to this restaurant for 15 years.

Excellent raw bar, solid menu, masterful fish preparation and an ok wine list. Don't expect Le Bernardin, but you can count on a good meal.

One of our favorite neighborhood dining spots! Highly recommend trying the Atlantic Grill nori wrapped Tuna! Superb!!!!5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGood BrunchWas there on a Sunday and although the place was packed (with people waiting to be seated) our table was ready at our reserved time & we never felt rushed so they could turn the table over. The food was quite good and with a wide selection of breakfast foods salads, entrees and sushi. Great place for groups of people with varying tastes. Service was ok, we never got bread for the table nor were we read the specials (hearing it read to others and seeing bread on other tables one would assume these should have been part of our dining experience). Otherwise the waiter was nice and service good.
The only negative would be that it was incredibly loud in there, to the point where it was difficult to hear someone across the table from you.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMVisitors to NYRecommended through NY Times and easy to book through OpenTable. Welcoming, attentive staff; warm ambience. Good menu choices, generous portions of well prepared and tasty food.

We chose not to go with the prix-fix as we love to try a variety of foods. Unique and delicious three tacos sushi were fabulous. Skin was like a fried won ton skin.We followed this with a hot salmon dish that my husband could not stop raving about it on a bed of asparagus, mushrooms and a variety of Peruvian potatoes, etc. I had a fabulous cold salad with crab meat, scallops, and shrimp with varied greens, corn and asparagus and a light citrus dressing on the side. it was so good I had it all. Wonderful rolls and butter accompanied the lunch.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMAtlantic Grill is a greatAtlantic Grill is a great place, however, it's simply too busy on a Sunday at lunch time. Food is consistently good. The service is consistently inattentive. Ambiance is fun - which is why it's so popular. The absolute best lobster and shrimp spring rolls ever can be found at Atlantic Grill.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWe really appreciate the serviceWe really appreciate the service for family.

A terrific experience.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMFeedbackFood was excellent as was the service. As with most New York restaurants it's just a tad cramped space wise and the table we had was rather warm so my guest was feeling a little hot as the air flow seemed poor.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMWe go most everytime we areWe go most everytime we are in the City - always good - a bit loud but what restaurant isn't these days!

Food was awesome. Had a spicy tuna roll to start off with, and it was great, and actually spicy, unlike most sushi places I go to! Had the blackened sword fish as an entree, which was the best sword fish I have ever had.
Service;
Our waiter was really good, and extremely attentive. The only problem was when it got crowded, the service kind of slowed since he was responsible for so many tables. Nevertheless, the service was great overall.
Ambiance;
When we got there at around 6:15 the restaurant was relatively empty, but by 7:00 there was not one open table, and it was a Wednesday night. Great neighborhood seafood spot.

We frequent your restaurant annualy for dinner with several friends that live in NYC. We've had a great dinner every time. Never a dissapointment.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was great. Everyone enjoyedIt was great. Everyone enjoyed the food although the wine that we ordered proved more expensive than I had thought fair. The other negative was the waiter's error in calculating the bill. He added the cost of dessert to a prix fix dinner. Called attention to this mistake, he quickly corrected the final bill and apologized for his faux pas. Merci.
