   Twenty Eight Atlantic is a stunningly beautiful restaurant with amazing views! Waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable and worked well as a team. Sadly the food did not deliver on the promise the ambiance made. It was simply not worth the incredibly high price for what the meal was.

   View is spectacular. Wait service is extremely professional, well trained, polite, friendly and attentive. Cost was OUTRAGEOUS!!! Over $300 per person. We have dined there many times before, so I don’t know if it’s the new pricing or because it was Mother’s Day.

   The Mother's Day buffet was outstanding from start to finish. The variety of food was extensive, and the quality of the food was superb. O'Neil, our server, was attentive and right there serving our needs every step of the way. Overall, a phenomenal experience for such a special day!

   The service was extremely slow and inattentive. The prix fixe menu was unimaginative and the portions were small. For what we got the cost was exorbitant. I had cod that was a poor piece of fish and mostly inedible. By the time we had the waiter’s attention, the meal was done. When I pointed out the problem to the waiter, a manager came by and asked what I wanted the restaurant to do about it rather than offering anything in compensation. Sadly, it was an unsatisfactory experience and we will not be returning.

   Superb food attractively presented. Wait staff a little slow. Gorgeous ambience. Very noisy table with small children right next to us, but mercifully they left shortly after we were seated.

   Everything’s perfect except the lighting! Too light, not real candles. Would have been perfect if the ambiance was as discredited.

    My fiancée and I were excited for a special Valentine’s Day dinner at Twenty-Eight Atlantic, but what we experienced was nothing short of a disaster. The night started at the bar, where we ordered an espresso martini and a cosmopolitan. The bartender—an older gentleman with black hair—was clearly inexperienced and struggled to make even basic cocktails. It took him over 10 minutes to prepare my drink, using a shaker far smaller than the glass he was serving it in. He repeatedly got flustered, realized he hadn’t made enough, and bizarrely poured vodka directly into the top of the sealed shaker. When he opened it, the extra vodka spilled all over his hands, and instead of starting over, he just handed me a half-filled martini. The couple sitting next to us, who witnessed the ordeal, laughed and even told me, “I wouldn’t drink that.” Unfortunately, the drinks weren’t just poorly made—they were outright undrinkable. We’re not picky drinkers, but both cocktails were so bad that we had to leave them untouched. Hoping the dinner service would be better, we moved to our table, only to be met with more disappointment. My fiancée politely told our waiter that her cosmopolitan was undrinkable and asked if she could order another cosmo. Instead of addressing the issue, he dismissively responded, “Well, everyone gets a glass of champagne tonight, so just drink that.” It was rude, unhelpful, and completely unacceptable at a restaurant of this supposed caliber. She eventually managed to order a glass of wine from another server, but this was just the beginning of the service issues. Throughout our five-course meal, we barely saw our waiter—twice, to be exact. Our water glasses were never refilled, no one checked on us, and we were left entirely unattended. It wasn’t just our table—service was abysmal across the board. The couple next to us left without even eating their dinner. They walked out and said this is inexcusable.
