Atlantic Grill

The BEST fine dining restaurant I have ever had in NewYork!!! I’m not joking, I come from another country, and I have been in NY for 4months, and I went to like 20 restaurants every months. Literally, me and my gf just randomly pick this restaurant and randomly select 3 main courses and some sides, since we are too busy to reserve a restaurant for Thanksgiving eve. IT IS SO SO GOOD, the service is perfect, the rythme of the dishes is perfect. Before I eat, I just think the 4.4 stars restaurant won’t be that great, and now I totally will give a five stars. And I recommend the NY steak and the lobster spaghetti!!!

Great location, atmosphere, service. On this evening, 2 of the food items missed for us. The shrimp cocktail consisted of 6 “wild caught” shrimp. Flavor and texture were fine, but for $29 I expected larger shrimp - maybe 16/20 or larger. Instead these were about 26/30s. Halibut excellent as was the creamed corn. Potatoes were so-so - steamed fingerlings with a dipping sauce. Swordfish flavor was fine but the texture was strange due the cut of the fish. First time I ever needed a knife to cut swordfish. Waiter said the cut is done to make it more like a steak - didn’t work for me.

Went before Lincoln Center. Food came quickly but we were not rushed at all. The grilled branzino was perfect and the quinoa salad was just what we wanted. Even had a terrific vegan passion panna cotta. There was a nice selection of really delicious wines by the glass. Great for pre-performance or a long slow romantic dinner.

I cannot believe they charge $32 for a hamburger and will not give you grilled onions with it, but after speaking to manager they did. Although initially he said they would charge $5 for it, they did not do so. It was a good burger, but not really worth $32. The other food ordered by the rest of the table was very good, although a bit pricey. They also brought a complementary creme brûlée with a candle to the table for my friend's birthday, which was much appreciated. Service was fine and they got us to the theater on time.

We were walking around the area when ended up at Atlantic grill on west side. We found a table pretty easily. The ambiance of the restaurant is gorgeous. The hostess offered us a table right away and the server was as on top of us all the time trying to make our experience pleasant. We ordered the seafood paella, the lobster roll and oysters. All plates were delicious. You feel the freshness of the ingredients. We enjoyed our dinner and the whole experience was really nice.
