    My halibut was way over cooked and dry. The service was poor. Slow, and they got a lot of our orders wrong. Server was rather passive aggressive. We asked for the dessert menu and it took so long to get it we didn’t have time to order once it arrived.

    Fantastic service! great food, and now a great new space, so happy this restaurant has reopened. Drinks were also top notch, we had delicious raspberry based cocktails, plus they even had boutique Uni Tequila on the shelves that I love……this place has it all. Seriously all the waitstaff could not be more helpful or lovely, thank you for a great night…..your team made our celebration awesome, thanks again!

    Really disappointing. $60 lobster was like rubber and minuscule (less than 1 pound). Fish burger was tasteless, cooked food was average. Avg entree price high $30’s, low $40’s didn’t equal the poor quality. Service and ambiance were lively. Sushi was very good.

    I used to live 2 blocks away when it was in UES… and left NY for 14 years. So don’t mind me keep comparing it with good old UES location. Service was excellent like it was way back in UES. Seems overall service level in NYC dropped significantly, but not here! Friendly and patient. Decor and dinning ware were very nice. A bit too formal compared with the old UES. The menu, may be it is a brunch menu thus differ from what it was in UES. The food was not as good as expected. I will try again for dinner and see.

    Lovely restaurant but very disappointing experience- despite advising server that we had a curtain time and repeated reminders, our entrees never arrived before our departure time. And particularly disappointed that there was no apology or offer to comp our drinks or any other consideration offered.

    THIRD visit here and my definitely my last! The beautiful red and brown room you see when you click on the photo on the restaurant's website (or on Open Table's) is no longer; it's replaced by an ugly dark green room where the smart oval banquettes have been removed to make way for a configuration that allows for way more customers as tables are now situated ridiculously close together. I had a rude and nasty server who lectured me on how the salt and pepper shakers (which have to be specifically requested, by the way) could be distinguished from each other. Except for the fresh, but under cooked scallops (practically sushi), food was uniformly awful. Crab ravioli tasted rancid and was returned. The manager was polite and apologetic and did reduce the tab substantially, but my evening was still ruined. I hope he finds another restaurant worthy of his professionalism.

    Very nice atmosphere, and the service staff and management very attentive. Excellent table service. My halibut was overcooked, even after emphasizing to the server, twice, and emphatically, that I’d preferred it under cooked vs over cooked. I made it VERY VERY clear. My wife had the same dish, also overcooked. She’s more tolerant than me. Management offered to cook me another halibut, so I ate around it while they were doing so. They then served me a second full entree. It was cooked perfectly the second time; melted in my mouth; no chewing required. Delicious! I think the server was new, and she didn’t make my initial request clear. We ordered 3 sides as she said nothing was served with the entree. That was incorrect, as it was plated with nice accompaniments. So, with 3 more sides for the 3 of us, we had more food than needed!

    Fabulous selection of fish and seafood. Service was attentive, until they got really busy and our dessert order was very delayed. I cancelled the dessert and asked for the check. I received the check and the dessert was then brought out. They offered the dessert for free, but I declined. Had it not been for that, it would have been a 5 star review.

    The ambiance is serene and elegant, and the food sublimely delicious. Dining here isn’t inexpensive but the overall experience is worth it. Though we had arrived for our reservation at 5:30 and informed our server that we would be attending a 7:30pm performance at Lincoln center, then having paid our bill our dessert order wasn’t delivered until 7:15, an unhappy misstep. Maybe next time they’ll get it right.

    The food was "strange". The shrimp cocktail was not a shrimp cocktail as usually served but a salad with some shrimp in it. The piece of fish for $59 was very small and definitely not worth the price.

    Beautiful space, wonderful service but for the price it was just OK, nothing particularly special. I guess that’s how seafood restaurants go these days as we’ve yet to find one that impresses. $50+ for a la cart piece of fish.. sides completely uninspired. Meh.

    Service was terrific but food was subpar. Fluff without substance. Mussels and clams tasted bland and clams were so tiny that the clam itself was no larger than a dime most were smaller. The raw garlic slices were much bigger and more plentiful. Steak tartare was OK but served atop four large bars that could have been polenta, potato or brioche. Never figured it out. Calamari was good and prepared well but served with what was maybe paper thin squash slices that had so much tempura batter, that was all I could taste. Mediterranean salad was good. Drinks were good. Lobster Thermidor very tiny for $$ and smothered in sauce. Paella was OK, not great. Would not recommend. Will not return.

The menu changed and it was upscaled as well with a great variety of selections. Service was good and attentive. Waitstaff was very accommodating.

    It is a matter of what you order. All of our food was prepared very well, but the flavors just did not register with us. The beef bun appetizer was delicious, the halibut was grilled perfectly but lacked seasoning & the accompanying sauces did not anything. The ravioli in the Ravioli Atlantic were overpowered by the sauce, I could distinguish the crab stuffing.

    The Atlantic Grill is a classy, serene and beautiful restaurant. The staff are superbly trained professionals and everyone who took care of us were kind and smiling. What a treat! The space is elegawent and very lovely. We had an amazing meal. We started with a superb Osetra caviar service that was beautifully arrayed and served with housemate blinis, creme fraiche, egg whites and yolks, pickles and other accoutrement on ice in a whimsical octopus platter with mother of pearl caviar spoons. As fine a service as I've had in other speciality caviar restaurants. Followed by divine tuna tacos and eggs benedict florentine. Everything was so tasty and so beautifully prepared and displayed. What a lovely experience.
