Had a delightful dinner at Atlantic Seafood. Also had a great server, Jen. We had two crab cake meals, crab soups and an excellent beet salad. The crab cakes were 7 oz of sweet lump meat. The cole slaw side was very crunchy and not filled with mayo. My son had the fish tacos which were packed with all kinds of fresh ingredients. He ate all three. The only complaint I had was that the roll for my sandwich was overheated and dry so I did not eat it. The crab cake deserved better. We shared the strawberry Smith island cake but It was overly sweet. We also tried their house made vanilla ice cream. That tasted odd and I did not eat it. We were told they have a new chef and with a few more changes the menu should be even better. read more

The food, the service, and the atmosphere at the Atlantic are all great. My complaint is with the retail liquor store pricing. While their selection of spirits is good, especially the bourbons available, I was dismayed with the Atlantic charging $38.99 for the 750ml bottle of Maker's Mark with the red, white, and blue wax (for the 250th anniversary of the USA). Most other local liquor stores sell the same bottle for $22.99 (Pine Orchard Liquors) to $28.99 (Total Wine). A $16.00 is a bit excessive profit for the same product. I noticed similar pricing on other spirits in the store. I suggest sticking to the restaurant and to buy your beer, wine, and liquor elsewhere unless you are desperate as they do have a seven-day license. read more

The atmosphere was pleasant. Food quality was very good and the waitresses and staff were very accommodating. This restaurant deserves a four star review. read more

Fabulous raw bar. Great outdoor seating. Delicious corn chowder with local bread. And phenomenal crabcake appetizer.

We had the best crab cakes ever at Atlantic Seafood! The crab cakes were packed with fresh lump crab meat and absolutely delicious. The homemade chips were perfectly crisp and addictive, and the sauce paired with the crab cakes was amazing. On top of the incredible food, the service was truly stellar. Such a fantastic dining experience -- definitely a place we'll be talking about for a long time! I also loved the decor! read more

Very very bad experience. Service was terrible food was bad to very bad. Waitress was snobby, and rude. She never filled my water or anyone in the party and forgot to order one of our party's food and never realized. The guy said to me after looking at our food, "forget it" "I will get something somewhere else". He ate his wife's fries. My shrimp was over cooked, my wife's burger was the worst burger, super small, and broken pieces of burnt chips, terrible! McD's would be so much better and I never ever eat there. The crab cake was even bad. How do you mess that up when you are a seafood place. The only thing that was good were the mixed drinks. They were good. Maybe if you get drunk the food would taste better. I will never return. read more

. Server had absolutely no personality and was very inattentive. We had a party of 16,and purchased food and drinks. Our water glasses were not refilled once. At least one menu item was never delivered. Smashburger was not a Smashburger at all, just a little bit of burned ground beef, on a burned roll. When it was mentioned to the server that the burger was almost inedible, she said that she could have it remade, but it would basically be the same thing and then walked away without suggesting any alternatives Prices were high for the small amount of food delivered. Drinks were good. I found this to be an unfortunate experience, particularly because I had heard how good this place was read more

Came here with coworkers on a Friday around 5:30 pm. The restaurant got pretty busy starting around 6 pm. Service was good and the restaurant was clean. I ordered the Chesapeake flatbread and the orange creamsicle crush. I've only had regular orange crushes before, but after trying it, I must say the creamsicle crush tastes better! The flatbread was a decent size and you could really taste the crab. I would probably come back for their happy hour deals from 2-5 on weekdays. read more

They have a fun, outdoor deck for drinks that we loved. You can go with a group or they have more intimate tables if you want to do a date night there. They take reservations and their prices were reasonable. The food was good and the service was fast and easy. read more

We ride by this place often and finally decided to give it a try the other night. The servers were very friendly and attentive, and the service was quick. However, the interior was extremely dim and uncomfortably cold. I ordered the pear pecan salad, which came as a comically large bowl of limp lettuce with just a smattering of toppings. I added grilled salmon, but it was completely dried out and lacked any flavor. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the otherwise pleasant service. read more

This was a nice surprise! I had never been here but drove by it often. Met some girlfriends dinner and everyone enjoyed their food. I ordered the chef salad with blackened chicken and it was so good! I ate all of it. My friends got a chicken sandwich and fries and the ahi tuna. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Service was quick and very good. read more

This is a neighborhood gem. The food is always amazing and the service is impeccable. The owners are local and always there to make sure everyone has a fantastic dining experience. Last visit we had the oysters, crab cakes, lobster roll, and Maryland crab soup and everything was perfect and delicious. I have never seen so much lump crab in a crab soup. And be sure to end the night with an Espresso Martini. You will thank me later! read more

I got the Seafood Pasta ($33), with the garlic caper cream sauce. I do wish they was a little more of the lump crab meat and shrimp. I felt like the dish was mainly mussels. The crab cake ($29 for a single) was pretty good. It had a generous amount of crab meat and came with mashed potatoes and green beans. The green beans were a little underdone and could use more seasoning. At the bar, we got shots of Don Julia 1942 for $35 a shot. A draft beer is around $8-$8.50. They did have Prosecco on tap, which I have never seen before so I decided to try it. Unfortunately, it did not taste good. There was a weird bubble gum flavor to it. Our service was good. The only downside was there was a bug near the ceiling of where we were sitting and I was afraid it was going to fall on me or the table. It took away from my dining experience and made me really uncomfortable. read more

Came here after a funeral to find there were no seats or tables available. They didn't have the right name holding our area and when I asked the older woman who was a manager, she recommended the rest of our group sit in another room at the bar, even when there was a large table right next to the party available. She didn't seem to want to solve the issue. My family and I left. My first and last time here. read more

Very nice place. Food was good - except for the chicken tenders. I ordered this for my granddaughter - they came out overcooked, almost burnt and tough to eat. I was with 5 other friends - they ordered the soft shell crab sandwich, some shrimp thing, salad and soup, and a shrimp egg roll. All were good. I ordered the crab cake entree but it didn't come out until my friends were just about finished eating. The waitress said she forgot. I think she just didn't like me - I had to ask for carryout containers, bag. Seriously it was like I was invisible - how hard is it to notice that one person didn't get their food? read more

This was one of many times I've visited and had a great experience at the Atlantic. Three of us went for dinner. One lives out of town, where he doesn't get many oyster options. Happy to say, we all jumped in and wolfed down three dozen, adding in an Oysters Rockefeller each and topping off dinner with fried oysters. Everything was delicious, including the drinks. Wait staff were attentive and on their game. Lest you think it's all oysters, the varied menu features many other options which we've enjoyed in the past. The takeout crabcakes are fantastic if you're entertaining at home. Simply put, the Atlantic is great. Enjoy! read more

We came back after a long time to use the gift card we received the last time we were here.... Same problems, same excuses. No oversight. I ordered a double soft crab platter, I got one soft crab.... We never saw our waitress again. read more

I had a small bridal shower for my daughter at the Atlantic yesterday (9/14) and it turned out very nice! I worked with Tania to coordinate the event and she was great to deal with - very organized and accommodating and didn't miss any of the details we talked about. On the day of the event, the staff - David and manager Bobby were very accommodating, attentive and great with everything. The guests loved the outdoor screened in area. The appetizers and entrees were all delicious, but the highlights were the espresso martinis, ahi tuna nachos and chicken cheesesteak egg rolls. It was a lovely day. The cake they ordered for us was also beautiful and delicious, and we couldn't have asked for a better event to celebrate the bride! Tania created personalized menus for us and it was exactly the added touch needed. Highly recommend Atlantic Food and Spirits to provide a perfect spot for any special event. read more

Just a short review this time. Seating and service was prompt, even for a holiday-season Friday. I ordered wings. 4 flats, 3 modest drums, and $22 plus tax and tip. Maybe the entrees are a better value. read more

A nice, affordable restaurant in Catonsville. We came for dinner on a Friday and it was packed with people enjoying themselves at the bar and at all the tables. Our server was very nice and friendly and tried her best to be attentive on a busy night. Service was a little slow, but it wasn't the worst and her friendliness was appreciated. The inside looks brand new, all white and very clean and crips. The table layouts are great for small and large parties. The crab dip appetizer is creamy, gooey, and packed with real crab. The bread that comes with it was fresh baked and sprinkled with sea salt, the perfect pillow for the crab dip. We also ordered two dozen oysters, which were fantastic. The prices range from $1.75-$3, and the local ones we ordered were big and meaty! Plenty to share and so fresh and tasty. The Chilean Sea Bass special was everything it promised, including lump crab and lobster sauce on a bed of risotto. The mushroom ravioli was also really yummy, the ravioli were large, and it had plenty of sauce, mushrooms, and sun dried tomatoes. read more

I like the crab cake and the tuna nachos are delicious. The parking is easy and the service has always been good

We've been back several times, and still enjoy the food & service. On our most recent visit, I had a few quibbles with the French onion soup, which had a handful of too-large croutons, not enough cheese, and a bit too much salt. I did like the mixture of breads used for the croutons though, and it had a very beefy flavor. The $20 crab cake special on Tuesdays is a great deal, and they were actually pretty good. Quite a bit of crab, and slightly too much filler, but for $20 I'm not complaining. I replaced the green beans with Brussels sprouts, which were actually some of the best I've had - roasted, and tossed with bacon, Parmesan cheese, and a balsamic vinaigrette glaze. The mashed potatoes were oddly unseasoned, but fixable with some salt & pepper. My wife had the mini crab cake stuffed shrimp, and she really enjoyed those. Our server was very friendly, attenative, and quick with our food & drinks. read more

We have so enjoyed four recent dining experiences at the Atlantic with four different groups of friends and family! Everyone's food was delicious, the servers were personable and professional, and the ambience was lovely (especially when we dined outside on a beautiful spring evening). We would highly recommend! read more

My husband and I went to the Atlantic for our anniversary dinner. The service was amazing, the menu is filled with something for everyone. The food was magnificent. We couldn't decide on raw or cooked oysters so, we got both. The oyster Rockefeller is the best I have ever had. We got the crab cakes and the scallops for entrees, outstanding. The ambiance was perfect. read more

Happy hour ends at 5:00? That's weird. It used to end at 6:00 and they offered large flatbreads and drinks at low prices. I understand that the flatbreads were too costly for what they charged, but hope they will reconsider extending HH drink prices to 6:00 (like most other places) read more

Lovely atmosphere Nice, long bar. Great service. We sat at a bar high top. It was tough not to have a back to the chair - my own personal issue. Lots of nice seafood items- I didn't fall in love with any of them. But somebody surely will. There was a selection of 12 different oysters. That was impressive! My friend ordered two different types. They were both salty, which they can be in some areas. I've never had salty oysters before; it wasn't my thing. The peel'n'eat shrimp were slightly overcooked. But overall, still a great place! read more

Awesome Seafood, especially Crabcakes and Clam Chowder. Some of the best around. Very good service, I think some family.

Catonsville has a lot of hidden gems and this is 1 of them. I love the modern open area. There's bar seating and tables in front of the restaurant and a rather nice size dining area in the rear. You can also enter their liquor store through the bar area as well as the deck seating. There is additional seating in the rear that would be a great space for a large group. We lucked out with a great waiter Ashton who was able to give great recommendations for food and drink. We started with some apps, crab dip & crab nachos. The crab dip was tasty served with a small loaf of bread. I would have preferred pita or toasted French bread slices, but it was still good. I wasn't a fan of the crab nachos. The best part if this were the perfectly crispy wonton which were warm and delectable. The cream cheese sauce was less sauce and more just warm cream cheese. The crab, roasted tomatoes and corn were quite sparse as was the Everything bagel seasoning leaving this with a 1 star for me because it was rather bland. For my entree I had the Rock Fish. Baby this was the star of the show #Rockstar ;) The fish was seared giving the skin a wonderful crisp and the crunchy edges on those fingerling potatoes had my mouth doing a happy dance. The roasted corn and blistered tomatoes along with the spinach were the perfect complement to the Old Bay infused sauce that was spread over the dish. Capers were used as garnish and the brininess of the capers definitely elevated the flavors in this dish. The serving size was also ample and in fact I bought part of it home. I definitely want to go back just for the Rock fish:) read more

Our party of 3 was quickly seated outside and promptly greeted by a waitress. There was a large party inside but it didn't affect our service at all. We got our drinks and appetizers quickly. The oysters were an excellent size and very fresh. The tuna fish was tasty. The crab nachos were fresh and had lots of crab meat. Just as we were finished our appetizers the entrees started coming out. Everything was perfect! Orders were all correct and the food was hot and fresh. The crab cakes were a nice size and flavorful. My husband got the short ribs and he was able to cut the meat with a fork. Absolutely delicious flavor and perfect portion. It's been a long time since we had such a great experience at a restaurant. The waitress was attentive and quick to bring refills and boxes. We selected some deserts and they were all delicious. Highly recommend this spot read more

Our favorite family restaurant!!! It has been a go-to for our family since it opened. The kids have a lot of things they like and my husband and I love the food and cocktails too!! We think the service has always been top notch and love the aesthetic of the restaurant. This past weekend we sat out on the deck and it was perfect! My oldest son was recently diagnosed with celiac and we have found the options here to be the best in the area. We truly love this restaurant and if you are gluten free this is the spot! Thank you! read more

This is a hidden gem. I absolutely loved the ahi tuna nachos, it was so light and perfect for summer time. It's my new fav that I will be returning for. Thursday is $1 oysters so I went the perfect night. I was really in the mood for oysters and they didn't disappoint. My boyfriend really enjoyed the seafood gumbo. So much that he wanted to order another to go. The inside was crowded so we sat outside which was covered and had fans so it wasn't bad. Great atmosphere and fast service. Five stars for sure! read more

Beautifully prepared, tasty, delicious food. Excellent, friendly service. Clean, relaxed, pleasant atmosphere. Chef creations are spot on, not your usual ho-hum routine menu offerings. Lots of thought and attention to detail goes into each dish. We had the Salmon BLTA, Lobster Roll and house made desert. Salmon and Lobster roll were juicy and perfectly cooked and all the ingredients perfectly supported and enhanced the sandwiches. This restaurant is a gem, run and operated by people who care about the food they serve and the customer. It is one of our [new] favorites! read more

My Momma and I were shopping in Ellicott cCity when we came across this gem of a restaurant. Hands down the best crab dip ever and it comes with pretzel bread, which is amazing!! My main entrée was shrimp salad sandwich, and french fries which did not disappoint. Their dessert menu looked awesome so I had to get a taste. I ordered Strawberry Smith Island; layered strawberry cake with cream cheese icing. It was amazing. Our waitress was amazing. She had great recommendations, she was super nice, and she kept our drinks coming. I will 100% eat here again. read more

Favorite place to watch sporting events. They have much improved their drink menu and food menu is very good...

Steamed Gulf Shrimp: Menu describes gulf shrimp steamed with old bay, onions, and lemon for $26. What you get is about 10 gulf shrimp that are steamed (mine were over cooked and rubbery) in a bowl of garlic-butter sauce with capers. There was a light dusting of Old Bay on top, no onions, and one lil lemon wedge. I wanted steamed shrimp with old bay ("Maryland style") not garlic-butter shrimp. We kept the garlic-butter shrimp on the table and said we would still pay for it, but asked the waitress if the kitchen could make me what the menu actually described--steamed shrimp with old bay. She said they could. Unfortunately the new shrimp she brought out still had garlic-butter sauce on them. Didn't eat them, don't like greasy food, wasted $50. Crab cake: Wasn't bad, but wasn't good. It did have a lot of jumbo lump in it. Just, nothing either of us would go back for. Also felt like a waste of money because it was disappointing. Neither of us appreciated the mustard sauce it is served on, you can't eat the crab cake without also eating mustard sauce. MD crab soup: Also very mid. Nothing either of us would go back for. Did have a sprinkling of jumbo lump in it, which was nice, but the soup base felt "off." Caesar salad: Nice size, good quality romaine, but the bowl it is served in keeps you from being able to toss it enough to get the dressing evenly distributed. We dumped out some of the salad to get to the dressed bits. Not a big deal. The dressing didn't have the right counter points, though. So, again, just not satisfying and nothing either of us would return for. The atmosphere: We went in the late afternoon on a weekday, a bit after normal lunch rush hours. We sat on the deck. It was nice. The beer was cold and our waitress was kind and attentive. The hostess was mildly rude/unprofessional, but whatever, maybe she was having a bad day. The seating is somewhat close together on the deck so your conversations will be heard by anyone near you--just a heads up. I think that's really great for a happy hour/social experience, but maybe not ideal if you're hoping for more privacy. We spent $120 on our lunch and we left feeling let-down. We are true "Maryland" seafood people and it felt weird for us to encounter such non-Maryland style seafood at a... local Baltimore county seafood restaurant. I think they might be going for some kind of blended casual atmosphere but slightly upscale seafood experience? Personally, it's not for me. I get miffed when restaurants drown all the seafood in butter and cream-based sauces. I can get that out in the mid-west. That's not the "Atlantic" seafood experience I've grown up loving here in MD. read more

Not a single negative thing to say about this place. They have a fantastic menu and I can't wait to try everything on it. Just go! read more

On the recommendation of my brother and niece, my husband and I drove from Towson to meet friends at this restaurant. It was nothing like what we expected. It has a much more casual and relaxed atmosphere. They have a big bar with a dining area, an enclosed porch, an outdoor deck, and a liquor store. We were greeted by Claire, the hostess. We had read that the restaurant could be very noisy. Claire honored our request for a quiet table and took us to a bench table around the corner from the bar. Helen, our server, immediately came over with the menus and asked us what we would like to drink. I said we would start with water until our friends arrived Helen was very attentive, friendly and helpful. My husband decided to go and take pictures of the restaurant. One of the owners, Tanya, stopped by to chat, which was a very nice touch. I told her it was colder in the restaurant than I thought it would be, and she immediately adjusted the temperature. Now that is service! The menu is quite different and on the pricey side. The wines were all up there in price; however, you could go to the attached liquor store and buy a bottle of wine or champagne, and they will charge you a $12 corkage fee. That is what we did. So, we were able to get a wine we knew we would like. Our friends arrived, and we got down to business looking at the menu. I already knew I wanted to try the White Truffle Lamb Cheesesteak. My husband does not like truffles and asked Helen if he could have a taste of the cheese sauce, thinking that it might work for him. No, he did not like it he could still taste the truffle in it. He decided to get the sandwich, and was able to substitute provolone for the white truffle cheese sauce; and was very happy. The White Truffle Lamb Cheesesteak is shaved lamb with caramelized onions, roasted mushrooms, arugula, herb aioli and white truffle cheese sauce on a pretzel roll (sub-like roll). We both ordered the French fries to go with. It was a very different and delicious sandwich. Our friends ordered the Ahi Tuna Nachos, which was a very generous portion of crispy wontons, grilled pineapple, pickled ginger, cilantro, wasabi aioli and sriracha aioli, and the Salmon BLTA (think BLT with arugula and sliced avocado added to it). They were pleased with their selections. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. read more
