The food was fabulous. The service was excellent. We came up from Maryland with a party of 4. The waiter remembered us from 3 weeks ago, what we ordered and what we drank. read more

Excellent menu with variety and nice ambience throughout.

I came here for a pre-theater dinner with my family, and it was a great choice! They offer a $40 pre-fixe, but I preferred the items off the menu. Both ways, everything was delicious. Food: -Arctic char tartare (appetizer): yum! Comes on a bed of ice. The veggie chips that came with it tasted like they came out of a bag, but the char itself was so good. -Gazpacho (the daily soup): too much cantaloupe flavor; masked the other flavors. -Hazelnut crusted sea scallops: Really good. Comes with four scallops, which is more than I thought there would be. The flavors work really well. -Arctic char: Tastes like salmon. It was cooked really well, but perhaps not my favorite cooked fish. -Baked atlantic cod: Also quite yummy. I'm not a fan of tomato broths, but the fish itself was cooked really well. Desserts: -Double chocolate espresso bar: soooo chocolately. I was in chocolate heaven. -Ice cream bon bons: These are these tiny scoops of ice cream in a pastry, with a dipping sauce. Really cute! Overall, I had a great time here. Good food, good service, happy me. read more

I work in the city a few days a month and normally park across the street from this place. I had never actually eaten there until yesterday when a friend suggested that we go there for lunch and have to say that it was quite enjoyable and a place that I would choose to go back to again not just for lunch, but possibly for dinner and definitely for drinks and/or oysters. The food was not overpriced for New York and it was flavorful. I had the shrimp tacos on advice of my friend and found them to be enjoyable, but the only complaint would be that it was a tad small. The atmosphere was clean and busy and the service was of a good quality. read more

This place is a home run. Have eaten here at least five times. Food is top notch, interesting and delicious. Attentive and knowledgeable service. Great bar scene. Two sections of the restaurant offer a choice of lively or more relaxing ambiance. read more

I can't really say which Atlantic grill I prefer- west side or east side. ALl I can say is they are both great, although I do ike the bar scene on the east side a bit better- the food and service at both are amazing. I was on the west side yesterday and popped in for lunch. I had the trout- order it!!! It is out of this world. I was hanging out with a few of my friends, great setting, food is dynamite and the service always get the best grades. keep up the great work read more

I'd give it a 5 for food but 3 or 4 for service. Lobster amazing, shrimp appetizer huge. Crab cake was amazing, oysters cold & fresh. Shrimp & scallops so delicious. I would go back but make sure I get a different waiter. (Not John) Spilled my 15$ drink accidentally & he wiped up floor than I had to ask several times for a napkin. He eventually placed 2 on the table. Deserts were to overdone & didn't love any of them. Coffee came out stale & cold. When brought a fresh pot it got cold again waiting for creamer. Restaurant very loud however I would go back. read more

Great food. I wish they had more meat option. Really nice ambience.

An all round great place, but a particularly good destination for visitors to Lincoln Center and tourists in general...a short walk from the number 20 bus route so connections from Penn Station are super easy. Steps to LC. The menu is interesting, the per fixe menu offers classic dishes prepared with flair at an attractive price. The fish is superb! The service is prompt and professional, the maitre'de is welcoming. We have never been disappointed here...and are dropping in again today. read more

Great service, good mood and lighting. Ordered the $20 trout and half of the filet showed up. Trout is a very light fish. How about giving the other half filet out of sympathy please? Otherwise good. I'd return. read more

Legit spot. Very good seafood. Nice decor and very good service

Though it is a large restaurant, it has a very cozy feel with rustic wood bar, wood beamed ceilings and leather tufted dinner booths. Great place to grab an after work cocktail at the bar or to sit for dinner with a large group. The bartender was a little cold at first but seemed to warm up after we ordered. I ordered the Thai roll and sliced vegetable salad which was delicious and was complemented perfectly by a glass of wine. The menu has a variety of fresh seafood and sushi. I can't wait to return to sample more of the selection. This is a great neighborhood staple and the type of place you can bring your out of town relatives where everyone will be satisfied with the meal as well as the value of the food. read more

It is a great pre opera restaurant, literally across the Met, it has a pre-theater menu with great selections, relatively affordable for the area. Our server was Mikey, his personality and service made our night memorable. read more

Checked-in, was greeted by the waiter asking what type of water we wanted, we didn't want any we wanted to go straight to drinks. He put the order in came back with water. Didn't tell us specials or menu highlights... 10 minutes later while he was telling the table that was seated after us what the specials were, we left (something I never do). Ended up at The Smith. Much better service. read more

The ambiance was great not too loud or quiet. The service was good. The cocktails were not the greatest or well made. The entree's especially seafood was superb and well done. read more

Atlantic Grill - From the outside - New American Near Me - New York, New York

See all

The place is interesting. They offer a variety of Seafood dishes of very good quality and talent in preparation and garnishing. They are not far from Lincoln Center and are reasonably priced despite it. read more

Went to Atlantic Grill in Lincoln Center on Friday night for a special family event. Everything was amazing. Seafood tower was phenomenal! Especially the ceviche. Grilled Bronzino was as fresh as it could possible be. Artic Char special on cauliflower puree was also outstanding. My nephew said the filet was the best steak he's ever had. Pepe, Iron and Chef Andrew truly made it a memorable evening. read more

They served us reheated Atlantic salmon and Atlantic cod. This place should be called Reheated Atlantic Grill

I came here to meet a colleague for lunch and take advantage of RESTAURANT WEEK!!!! We made a reservation and were immediately seated upon arrival. We had the sushi and the Maryland crab on toast, from the restaurant week menu. They were both good. They have a sushi bar that looks very clean. We both ordered the Salmon and it was delicious! The only issue I had was with the bread offered when you arrive, which is also the toast for the Maryland crab. It was burnt in my opinion in certain areas and that put a damper on the taste buds. I would recommend and even come again. read more

Ladies - Don't Go Solo Despite good food and an attentive waitress, I would not recommend Atlantic Grill to a friend because like me, most of my friends are middle-aged women and several of them have been known on occasion to dine with only themselves. I have dined at AG at least 30 times with my husband but tonight my husband got stuck at work and I had a reservation, so I went alone. There were several empty tables and remember I had a reservation. I was escorted to a table that was shoved between two other tables, each placed perpendicular to me. At first, one perpendicular table was empty, so I didn't feel the squeeze but shortly after sitting, still with tables empty, they filled it and created the sandwich. I felt ridiculous as I literally had the backs of people's head on both sides a couples of inches away. What made it truly embarrassing was that the restaurant was emptying out and I was jammed in. When the manager came over to address my complaint, he said that no one had ever complained about that table and as I could see, the restaurant was full. The first is highly unlike; the second was a lie. I accepted a new table and watched the place go empty, which means they did not have many bookings after me. If you are a woman dining single, I recommend you hit a place that doesn't see you as expendable and then insults your intelligence. read more

Went to Atlantic Grill on a Sunday 1 week ago. Service was AMAZING. Our waitress was really great. I think her name was Samantha. The bread was fantastic we ate 2 portions of it. Octopus salad was tasty and all the seafood was very fresh. We eat at Ocean Grill, (same owner) often and it's nice to know there is another seafood option in the neighborhood. It is a bit pricey and the crowd was a little older than Ocean Grill, but definitely would recommend it. read more

I had been looking forward to going here for a while. The Maitre'd acknowledged that we had a show at Lincoln Center at 8 and we also informed our waiter. I really liked the interior and the bar is beautiful. But our food was surprisingly bland, my husband said it tasted "like there is ketchup on my Cod" ugh! When the waiter poured my wine from the carafe to the glass he spilled it all over the glass and table. I asked for a paper napkin to clean it up and he returned with a papertowel from what I can only guess was the bathroom. Once our meal was over we sat staring at empty plates for over 10 minutes while our waiter made sure all the tables around us had fresh water. We gave up on having coffee and finally asked a hostess for our check. Our waiter made NO apologies when he finally appeared with the bill. read more

I was looking for a nice seafood dinner on my birthday last night and saw there's an Atlantic Grill on the Upper Westside now so I tried it out. Half the restaurant was closed for a private party but i got a call earlier in the day to use the 65th street entrance. Got there at the time of my reservation but it took them about 10 minutes to seat us. They were very apologetic about it. We split a dozen oysters on the half shell. All four varieties were inrcredibly fresh and tasty. We had the arctic char and the brazino a la plancho and both were delicious. For desert I wanted the red velvet cheesecake but they had run out so we split my second choice the strawberry-rhubarb pie and were very happy with that. The service was excellent, the staff very attentive and the decor was very nice and cozy. It was also nice and quiet in there even though the restaurant was packed when we arrived. Had a wonderful night. read more

I love the Atlantic Grill. One of my favorite restaurants on the UWS. A little pricey, but always consistently delicious which makes it worth it! read more

Good option for pre-performance dinner. Good service. Tuna was over salted and nothing special. Scallops were fine. Wine was good. Dessert was nothing to write home about. Large space so getting a reservation was easy. read more

First time at the UWS AG and it was a very plesant experience.

Christmas Eve dinner with a pre-fixe menu. I was completely enthralled by the opening lobster bisque. Creamy but light and very flavorful. But I was thoroughly disappointed with my grilled salmon entree. The salmon was overcooked and tasted very ordinary. Too ordinary for the price that they were charging. And then, for dessert, I had the profiteroles which were average as well. I was a little too excited for them because they are called "profiteroles" and sound fancy shmancy and bougey. Turned out to be just like a little ice cream sandwich with chocolate syrup over it. Tasted quite cheap. Pretty average food for a way above average price. read more

Great sunday brunch. Quickly becoming a favorite spot

Always a pleasure to dine here. I would give the food five stars but for me the sound level drags it down just a bit.

Loved our Saturday brunch a few days ago! We sat at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed our crab cake BLT and smoked salmon with poached eggs. We tried a sushi roll which was fantastic as well. Mimosas were lovely and our bartender, Madeline was so fun! Super helpful and knowledgeable. We hope to be back soon! read more

My second time coming here. This place is amazing, though I felt like the lighting could have been a little brighter

Food was very good and service was okay bit I definitely caught a waiter on a bad day which lead to an unpleasant meal ending.

Bartender was very friendly, made sure we had ample drinks and didn't mind that we ordered different appetizers and raw bar items randomly. Bought us a free round on the way out. Would definitely go back. Nice place for a drink and seafood before a show at Lincoln Center. Pricey, but not more than can be expected in that area. read more

The "dressed sushi" is fantastic. Nigiri with special toppings, all imaginative, creative, and super fresh. Lots of great spicy flavors and incredibly sweet and delicious eel with pineapple. Cosmopolitan with clementine juice classic but just novel enough to be fun :)) read more

Be warned that this place has gone seriously down hill. After nearly an hour waiting for meal in half empty restaurant a $30 entree of simply grilled shrimp and scallops arrived with side of cauliflower au gratin. Appetizer sized plate with 3 McCormick seasoned, cold, tough, over cooked shrimp and 1 small scallop on 3 strands of broccoli rabe...close to inedible. The waiter was so embarrassed he sent it to the kitchen which sent it back with an extra 1/2 scallop...he then asked for more and they added 2 shrimp. My friends tuna was ok but his mashed potatoes were OreIda out of a box, thin, loose and floury. Four stars to the waiter and none to the restaurant. read more

What a great experience! My wife and I dined here this past Tuesday night before going over to Lincoln Center to see My Fair Lady. We had a 5 pm reservation and got seated immediately upon entering the restaurant. The host led us to a very comfortable booth, and we were so happy to have the extra space. Our server, Laura, was fantastic all around. We had a lot of questions about the menu, and she was very helpful with describing the food and making decisions. My wife had the Branzino, and I had the Red snapper. We also asked Laura what wines would go nicely with these dishes. We ended up getting a glass each of their house chardonnay from California. It was one of the best wines we have ever had, my wife couldn't stop talking about it. The branzino was moist and cooked perfectly and comes with a sauce that tasted great. My wife was also very happy that it came with vegetables, as we're trying to eat healthy this summer. My red snapper was a little spicy, but I like that. It came with rice, sausage, and calamari. I highly recommend anyone looking for a different side to seafood to try this dish. The best part of the night came at the end. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary, and our server surprised us with some tasty house made chocolate cookies. She even got the chef to write 'happy anniversary' on the plate. What a nice touch! This was a very special evening for me and my wife, and we plan on coming back the next time we're in the Lincoln Center Area! read more

We stopped in here last minute and even though they were full with reservations, they accommodated us wonderfully. My favorite was definitely the lobster and shrimp spring rolls.. DELICIOUS! Also, my watermelon cocktail went down wayyyy too easily and was wonderful. Had a very nice experience here and would definitely recommend this place. read more

been there for brunch very very good love it good food good drink . thank you will come a gain and tell my friend's read more

We had sushi at Atlantic Grill and perhaps that was not the best choice. I got tempura shrimp and spicy tuna and my friend got fiery Maine lobster and salmon. Usually when I get tempura, there is a crunchy texture but not this time, in addition usually when I get spicy tuna, the tuna is spicy and this tuna was not spicy. The sushi did not taste fresh either. In summary, my food was O.K. The service was excellent. The ambiance was good. It is not a place I would go back to nor would I recommend it. read more

Enjoyed a delicious lunch before a matinee at the Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center. We sat at the bar and enjoyed very friendly service from the bartender. The bread basket among other breads, offered some of the most scrumptious raisin rolls I've ever eaten! My peach bellini was perfection. So much so that I had two! We started with the shrimp & lobster spring rolls. They were presented beautifully and accompanied by spicy coconut sauce and mustard yuzu. Delicious! For our main lunch dish we had the curried chicken salad and the marinated ruby red beets. Both were wonderfully flavorful, very fresh and well portioned. To finish we enjoyed a cafe latte and cappuccino. They rounded out the lunch perfectly. The restaurant was very stylish and comfortable. The rest rooms were impeccable. The service was fantastic. read more
