I was vey dissapointed with this place only because the food wasn't very good for the price they charge. Come on now, $30.00 for a pork chop is outrageous. Do you know how cheap pork is. It looked great but was over cooked, I ordered it medium rare. My wife and our friends ordered the salmon, medium rare, which was overdone and inedible. We told the manager Kerry and she said that the chef cooks it to his temperature liking.Well if he wants it overdone than he should pay for it. She said she would take the desserts of the bill. I asked why not the 3 orders of dried out salmon? She finallly adjusted the bill but should have compted the desserts to show remorse. Even the desserts came out at different times. Bad, Bad , Bad! The bill was till close to four hundred dollars! Six people. We also spent another $150.00 for drinks waiting for our table. I heard that this restaurant is in trouble and maybe they don't care if it closes, but if I'm wrong that get your *#*# together before that happens. A restaurant is only as good as the chef and his kitchen but maybe its time for the chef to change his attitude and humble himself. I heard McDonald's is hiring. Time to start over. Good luck read more

I dined at Atlantica with my wife on Aug 12, celebrating our anniversary. I was extremely disappointed with the service and the quality of food. Service slow and inattentive. The food was overly salted. The one saving grace was that they did have a decent wine list. My feedback on the ambiance is not that positive either, as I found the restaurant to be loud, due to the high ceilings. That being said, I could have lived with that if the other two very important area were enjoyable. I would not recommend this restaurant. Subsequent to our visit, we've heard the same from friends who have dined there. read more

Went for the Friday night seafood Buffett. All drinks were included. Food was very fresh and plentiful. Wishes the lobster could have been warm rather then cold. More sushi options would have been nice too. Overall very enjoyable time. read more

We are so disappointed that this place has been getting bad reviews. We visited the Atlantica Hotel last weekend to view the venue for our upcoming wedding scheduled for October next year. The restaurant was delish! Atmosphere: A The dining room is very clean with modern decor and clean lines. I agree that the view would be much better if they had this on the second or third floor. If you sit at the window tables, you have a direct view of the boardwalk and the people walking by have a direct view of you as well. However, this didn't bother us at all. Service: A+ The waitress and assistant waiter was attentive, friendly, and accurate! Our drinks were refilled promptly and the assistant had our plates and table cleaned just as we were taking our last bites. The waitress also made some great recommendations for our first time there. A big bonus - the chef, Todd Jacobs, came out to introduce himself and to talk about his favorite dishes on the menu. He gave us a great overview of the philosophy of his cooking and how he uses quality, fresh, organic ingredients. I think this was a nice touch, especially since we are planning our wedding and may use him as our chef for our special day. Food: A+ We started out with coconut shrimp. This was the best shrimp I have ever tasted. It was plump, fresh, and the most perfect crisp bite to it. The accompanying sauce was equally delicious. The chef also sent out a moroccan spiced hangar steak appetizer for us to try. The steak was so tender, which is unusual for hangar steak. The spices were so unique and tasty! The earthy taste was something that I will crave until we get to come back here. For lunch I had the scallops over a bed of fresh greens with a delicious citrus vinaigrette. The scallops were OUT OF THIS WORLD! They tasted like tender, sweet, sugary, pillows. I've never tasted scallops so tender, fresh, and cooked to perfection! Great job, Todd! The bed of greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes were equally as fresh, crisp, and tender. The home made dressing was just the right amount of acidity. My fiancee had a panko crusted chicken cutlet sandwich topped with bacon, gruyere cheese, Russian dressing on a buttermilk roll. OMG ... It melted in your mouth! Just plain delicious. We are both craving this until we get to come back for a weekend visit as well. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake, which was recommended by our waitress. The cake was just so so. It was kind of dry in some spots and we'd definitely try something else the next time we are there. Quality: A I know that a lot of people were complaining about their prices. Our lunch was about 60 bucks plus tip. We didn't think this was too bad for the amount of food that we had. Plus, it was so delicious, that we didn't mind paying for it! We will definitely be back and we are planning to check out the hotel next month for a long weekend before we finalize this venue for our wedding. read more

This is a fine-dining restaurant. Do not go here if you are looking for quick burgers, fries and a smoothie. My husband and I went here for an anniversary dinner. We eat out a lot and are originally from Manhattan. We had a great waiter named John ( very patient. He had two awful tables next to us that were so rude and in a rush. ) he offered cocktails which we enjoyed. Midway through cocktails appetizers came and the Tuna Tartar was impeccably fresh. We switched to wine for the second course which was comfort food- chicken soup. Nothing amazing but VERY tasty and it was what we wanted-homemade chicken soup. Dinner. LI duck and salmon dishes. Beautiful. Restaurant manager Carlos checked in with us during dinner as well as our waiter, John. We enjoyed our experience. Go to this restaurant if you want a new/different Long Beach dining experience. Don't rush your dinner. Enjoy every minute and you will appreciate Chef's creations. Consider the upstairs rooftop bar for drinks afterward. read more

Allegria = garbage place with garbage food. Do not waste your money here. You think this would be a 5 star hotel because of its location. You will surely leave with food poisoning. read more

I had dinner with my boyfriend in Atlantica last night. Even though the Octopus appetizer and cocktails were good, we were both highly disappointed that the $39.00 Filet Mignon tasted and smelled gamey. We asked for medium rare, and the surface was slightly burnt. The texture was also very course and dry. I couldn't finish it. We did enjoy the ambience of the place and the service however. We would go back, but not for dinner. read more

Price was a 10 and the food was a 0. We went for a Valentin's dinner, the menu was a price fix $149. The first course was a poorly cooked greasy fried oyster with and over dressed lobster salad to share. The next course was a choice, we both had the steak both ordered medium rare, one showed up medium the other one a rare. On the side was something I'm assuming was supposed to mashed potatoes, pre-prepared, burned and GROSS. I can't begin to describe how disappointing this was. I highly recommend you skip it, the food was terrible. read more

Food prices are average. Food is inconsistent - some things acceptable - some terrible. Service is awful. You will wait and wait and wait. The burgher may arrive without the cheese, without the ketchup. It likely won't be cooked as you requested on bread other than what is described. Stale bread on the tables. And so it goes. Oysters and mussels were good. Salmon was good. Pork chop was like shoe leather. Fried zucchini was barely acceptable. Nothing was great. Overall disappointing. read more

Beautiful Restaurant with a great view of the Atlantic Ocean! The lamb shank couldn't be any more tasty and the scallops with risotto just perfect. Wine list is extensive and prices reasonable for the quality ($120 for 2) of service. Enjoy! read more

We came here for my mother's birthday dinner last week. The restaurant is beautiful at night, and if you get there around 6 you'll be able to see the sun setting! Sydney, our waitress, was so sweet! Try the steak, it was awesome. read more

We went there on a Friday night and had no choice but to get the buffet...at $65 per person and there is a mandatory tip/service charge as well. The buffet does include cold seafood like lobster, clams, and even oysters. It also includes alcoholic beverages like wine and screwdrivers. The salad bar section did not seem as fresh as some of the other sections, so that was disappointing something so simple was not good. The food was good but not great, but the value is there if you like seafood and alcohol. I would go back again for the buffet and would like to see how the menu is on other nights. The fact that there is a lounge/bar with a DJ outside the restaurant and out is literally right on the boardwalk only makes the place more attractive. If you want, you can spend the night in their hotel, but I'm sure the rates are high. read more

Prices are too high! I would NOT suggest going there for dinner. The service started out good and went downhill after that. Ordered espresso, cappuccino and dessert - coffee's came but dessert didn't come till 20 minutes later. They weren't even smart enough to offer us more coffee on the house. Had the pasta dish which had no taste - first time I never finished a pasta dish - My husband had scallops which were ok except for the one that was full of iodine. Oh yes there was the poor looking very tiny Cesar salad we ordered as an app. The onion soup was actually very good. Best part was the view................. read more

OMG the best restaurant in Long Beach NYC!! The oceanview is mesmerizing and the service exceeded all of our expectations. I personally had the Striped Bass and it was delicious!! My husband had the New York strip and it was perfectly cooked, he loved it which is rare because he's very picky with his food. I can't wait to come back again and have another romantic dinner, the ambience is contemporary yet with a beachy feel to it. They also have Jellyfish lamps that constantly change colors that make the place feel super posh. I'm really surprised they have so many negative reviews because our experience was flawless. I guess they must have a new Manager... I wanna come back for brunch and enjoy the view during the day. read more

Had been there for numerous family celebrations for the Sunday brunch. Always enjoyed it, though pricey, it was beautiful and delicious. Not this time. It is still pricey but the brunch items available have been reduced by more than half as well as the quality. The lobster and crab claws were watery and/or mushy. There was no middle table with salads, salmon, breads, etc. Prime rib was just okay and the only meat available, there used to be a few choices of meats. Dessert table was limited. My family was so very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

Beautiful décor, overlooking the ocean, well you can't eat atmosphere. The Hostess led us to a small table with A COLUMN INFRONT OF THE OCEAN VIEW, and rolled her eyes when we asked to move. Now mind you ,there was only ONE other table occupied in the whole restaurant ! You have to wait for someone to bring you your "allotted" one roll ( and please don't ask for a second ). Appetizer salads will fit in the palm of your hand, and $30 for 4 pan seared scallops , made this a very uneventful, disappointing meal. read more

Microwaved prepackaged food served up cold by Mexicans on work visas. Need I say more? If you don't understand that I'll translate: The service is bad. Horrible actually. But the staff is paid less than minimum wage because the owner screwed his workers when he went bankrupt and has to hire aliens now. The food comes prepackaged from Performance Food Group where it's made in a warehouse in Texas. Hawhey opens the plastic pouch, sets the microwave to the color code on the bag and he's a chef. Expect cold food. Great view. Expensive prices. Neat looking place. Sneak in a sandwich so you have something good to eat while looking at the ocean. read more

Horrible experience; food poor, service bad! Do not waste your time or $$$. I do not know how this place stays in business. read more

Stopped by the restaurant after a walk with a friend for lunch. Had a beautiful chicken salad dressed with a very light but flavorful vinaigrette. Delicious! My friend was just as impressed with her salmon salad. We were both dressed in walking clothes but were graciously made to feel comfortable and treated so wonderfully by the entire staff. ...later that evening, after we had dressed up a bit we decided to return for dinner! Both of us had the scallop risotto. Amazing! Perfectly glazed scallops ....what IS that sauce...light risotto with asparagus. Server and busboy both warm and attentive. Other customers nearby were also friendly and commenting on incredible food. A really wonderful place for 2 women visiting Long Beach from Minnesota! read more

If you like a mashed potato bar..they mash..if you like good food make a pass. My wife said they don't bake their own rolls

I try and come here at least once a month. myself and my girlfriend really like the place. The food is always good and the staff are excellent and always attentive.Nice place to bring a date. read more

Nice restaurant. Good food, though the bar is way too noisy (bad sound management by architects).

Context: I live in Manhattan and eat out frequently. I am not fazed by paying $40 for a main course, etc. There is a short list of pros: reasonably accommodating, if distracting hostess. Excellent Russian busboy/waiter/water filler - very friendly and accommodating through imperfect English. As for the rest, a very poor wines by the glass list. Basically all low-tier below average wines at a markup of 400-800%. The wines by the bottle have some good options, but are also exorbitantly over-priced, even by Manhattan hotel standards. Most importantly, the food is just mediocre, both for seafood and turf. Unimaginative and not especially well executed. My check came to around $150 and I could have prepared it for $40 and would have been satisfied paying a restaurant $80-100. In short, not returning. read more

This is my first bad review on yelp. The food here is terrible, and even worse it's entirely over priced for the quality. I've had a few meals here now, mostly for convenience (in the hotel) and unfamiliarity with the area. I'm appalled at the low standards and high prices. read more

I would give 2 1/2 stars if I could. The food is uneven here. During restaurant week I had a lovely seafood dinner with equally nice sides. The romaine salad, more like a caesar was one of the best I had. Two weeks later it was a different experience. The fish was bland, the cubes of butternut squash overcooked. I appreciate that the kitchen is trying to serve organic vegetables but if I wanted steamed vegetables I would go to a macrobiotic restaurant. The vegetables are too bland. The location is wonderful but I think the kitchen needs some panache. And the dessert platter they put out for large groups tastes like it came right out of the walk in. Every body loves goodies at the end of a meal but I would rather have a little taste of something wonderful as opposed to a platter of mediocre. I will give them kudos for their bread, homemade is always good. I want to like this place more but I like to pay for consistency. read more

It got two stars for location. That's where the positive's end. I had breakfast there this morning. It was the worst $20 breakfast I've ever had. It was the worst $5.00 breakfast I've ever had! The service in a word:Terrible. Another word? Slow. Another? Unattentive. The coffee was good and the water came in a clean glass. Other than that, it was unmemorable. read more

Rude staff. Told us there was a 45-60 minute wait when most tables were empty!!! We could not even wait at the bar as it was closed for a wedding. Extremely loud music. After 30 minutes I asked for the manager to inquire about why we were waiting when tables were empty. He responded with the wait would be at least 20 more minutes!!!! He also stated that we couldn't be seated until our friend removed his fedora. What?!?! Did I mention rude? Left and went to Sutton Place and had a great dinner. read more

Horrible service. Waited one hour for a grilled chicken salad was nothing special . View was great . Came back for dinner on the lobby bar area figure would get some pickins watch the sun set took them 25 min to bring a menu. Got up left went to SUGO glad we did food service and drinks were fabulous and we made it back in time to watch the sunset ... Allegra was very disappointing read more

Went to happy hour that was advertised on their website. When we arrived l was told that was a mistake and happy hour was over at 5pm and that the manager was changing the website tonight. Even though they said it was their mistake- they did not honor it. Call first as their website is not correct. Will not come back. read more

Beautiful hotel, great views, the service was OK (we weren't looking to rush through but the waitress only had one other table but she was very nice). Went for brunch and I went out of my comfort zone by getting an omelet with peppers and goat cheese. I like all of those flavors separately but weren't my favorite together. Also, my boyfriend got the French toast which tasted really good, and we ordered a side of bacon (over priced at $7 for three strips) to share. As we were walking out we told ourselves we'd be back for a sunset dinner. Unfortunately, that was the only meal we ate together that day and we both got sick that night. I don't think we'll be making the trip back. read more

Where do I begin??? I had purchased a TRAVELZOO voucher and used it earlier this year at the ATLANTICA RESTAURANT located in the ALLEGRIA HOTEL. First I was charged for the entire bill before the $100 voucher was deducted, i never noticed this until after I arriveed back home. I phoned the restaurant numerous times over the next two weeks only to be shuffled from the manager to the accounting department and now I discovered that the restaurant has made an unauthorized charge to my credit card, so besides not receiving my credit fot the TRAVELZOO voucher they have banged my card for more money. DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY ON PURCHASING A TRAVELZOO VOUCHER OR DINING AT THE ATLANTICA, BOTH HAVE NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT. PS. As of 04/22/14 I have not received my refund. I have contacted the Better Business Bureau and allowing them to handle the dispute read more

Great brunch. Excellent food selection attentive and friendly staff. Great views of Boardwalk and ocean.

Wow. I planned to propose to my girlfriend on the boardwalk at Long Beach and decided it would be a good idea to have a nice place to sit down for dinner afterward. I knew that Atlantica would be a great choice because of it's location and accessibility from the boardwalk. What I did not know was that the management and staff would be so be attentive and would work so hard to make this night as memorable for us as possible. I spoke with the manager, Paul, a week before the BIG NIGHT and he assured me that my girlfriend and I would be taken care of. I didn't know he meant WELL TAKEN CARE OF. On the night of, we were greeted with glasses of champagne and the Atlantica experience only got better from there. The managers, the chefs, and the servers at Atlantica made sure that every aspect of our engagement dinner was PERFECT. The meal was delicious, the desserts were fantastic, and the service was almost regal. The best part is that I was not charged any premium for my special occasion. For the cost of a nice dinner, I got a million dollars worth of service and memories. If you are planning a special event, you should definitely consider the Atlantica restaurant at Allegria Hotel. Paul is great, and if you speak with him ahead of time, I'm confident that he will accommodate you as best as he can. My fiance and I will be there again soon. read more

Probably one of the worst dinning experiences I have had. Horrible food and service. Wouldve gave it one star but did two because atmosphere is so nice... Really though complete garbagio. Dont waste your time or money read more

Its right on the beach with a beautiful view,, it was my wifes birthday so we chose to ignore al the bad reviews. The atmosphers is really nice and by that i mean you can sit by the window and look out at the beach. This place had the worst service ever! I mean that the service really was bad... Remember this is a hotel... And not a cheap one, in fact a very expenxive one. . we sat down and were ignored for 20 min. It was far from busy. The only thing that was busy was the waitresses standing around jabbering together. In all fairness i didnt expect manhattan quality food and would have been ok with whatever they served. But the bad service really bothered me. Would I return, no I would not. read more

I took my fiance here for dinner and the waiter Neil made our experience. He was very knowledgable about the menu and accommodating to us. The view was beautiful, the restaurant was clean and the decor was lovely. Neil recommended the chocolate cheesecake and it was AMAZING! We weren't rushed throughout dinner and had a great time. We will definitely return and we hope Neil will be our waiter again :) This restaurant is great for a special occasion or just to get together with couples. The caesar salad was delicious and so was the filet mignon. Thanks Neil! read more

I have been to the restaurant and to the bar. The food in the restaurant wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either. it was just okay. For the price, it was not worth it. There is much better quality food in town. Atlantica has a beautiful atmosphere though. I wish they would improve their food. The bar is expensive too, but the drinks are alright. Unfortunately this place would not last if not for the great location. I give it a third star for being beachfront. read more

If I could give the Atlantica at the Allegria a zero I would but the lowest I could go give them is a one. We made a reservation and when we got here the hostess told us they were getting our table ready. We noticed that the restaurant was empty and were wondering why we waited 25 mins to sit down when we had a reservation and there were plenty of seats available. We finally sat down and the food took forever!! We waited over 50 mins for our appetizers. Dinner didn't show up till another hour after that and when it arrived there was a hair in it. Proportions were extremely small and the food is definitely over priced. read more

Nice staff and beautiful restaurant. My favorite part is the view, but the food is good. My parents have been there many times that live in Long Beach. I think people are being so snobby that give this hotel bad reviews. Long Beach is a laid back place and this hotel is so worth it for the gorgeous setting and sleep and listening to the waves. The lounge and bar is gorgeous read more

I would give it zero starts if that were possible. We've visited this restaurant three times, and only because we had vouchers; otherwise, the prices are outrageous! Visit #1: We had made a reservation for breakfast because they had a nice view, outdoor access to the boardwalk, and I had purchased a $40.00 voucher for $ 20.00. After checking in with the hostess, we were escorted to a canter table. We asked for one at a window - most of which were empty, but told they were all reserved. That was pure bull!. We were there for nearly two hours, and they were still empty. After a good 15 minutes, a server came over, poured us some water and directed us to the buffet. We each had an omelet and were offered a choice of a mimosa or a bloody Mary. Neither of us drinks, so we declined. We had coffee, which was lukewarm, and not offered a refill. Now comes the killer part! The bill came to $115.88: two BRUNCHES @ $45 + tax + a mandatory 20% service charge! It turns out, we were assumed to have come for the brunch, while there was a perfectly decent BREAKFAST menu available, but never offered to us. I would have had a tantrum, but my husband is not one for making a scene, so we paid and left. That was the most expensive meal of two omelets and tepid coffee in the history of restaurant business! Visit # 2: It was a sunny day and no street parking to be found anywhere. I am disabled and cannot walk very far, so we handed the. car over to a valet. The meal was just OK, but the service was abysmal. We waited 20 minutes for someone to notice us and bring menus, another 20 minutes for her to return to take our orders, 35 minutes for the two burgers ($20 each) to arrive. I tried for 10 minutes to flag down the busboy to refill my water glass until I finally gave up and went over and the stand to fetch the water for myself. Returning to the car, we discover there was a $10 + tip charge for the valet. This hotel / restaurant is located well away from public transport, so everyone who visits comes by car. Charging for parking is huge gall, but that's not all. Our car was delivered with a 10" ink puddle on the driver's seat. The upholstery is white leather, so there's no way the valet hadn't noticed it. We went back inside to the manager and it took another 20 minutes to clean it up. Nonetheless, we were charged for the valet service! Visit #3: I don't know what demon possessed me to choose this place again. We were having a triple birthday party, and I figured everyone would enjoy the view, I guess. I made a reservation for nine a full week in advance, explained that this was a celebration, and requested a window seating. When we arrived the place was empty save for one couple in the corner and yet, we were set up along the rear wall and they wouldn't move us. So much for the nice view! For once, the service was friendly, but mo wonder - the place was empty except for us. The "regular" menu in no way resembled what they had posted on line. I checked on line before making the reservation to make sure there was something there for everyone, but we were handed something quite different. The burger I ordered ($20!) was listed as WAGU beef, but it was just plain old chopped meat. As opposed to medium rare, it arrived cold and just about totally raw, accompanied by McDonald's style fries, cold as well. My granddaughter received prefab style onion rings available frozen at any supermarket. This is supposed to an elegant restaurant run by an acclaimed chef ???!!! But this was supposed to be a party, so I chose not to embarrass my guests by sending things back, But I did send back one thing. I called over the Maitre'D as discretely as possible and whispered to him that the water in my glass smelled moldy. He looked a bit panicked after smelling it, and sent around our waitress to collect all the glasses and bring out new ones and new water, which, incidentally had no ice, the first round or the second. And here's the real DOOZEY! The place seats at least a hundred people plus there is a bar and a huge lounge attached where there a a big party going on, BUT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO BATHROOM ON THAT LEVEL ! You have to walk out of the room and walk downstairs, where you'll find (with much effort) two tiny bathrooms in the corner. The men's room was taped off with an "Out of Order" sign, which meant there was none. The ladies' room had two maids, each equipped with a mop, chattering at ear-splitting volume in Spanish. After that, one had to return upstairs to the restaurant. I had commented on that during our previous visits there as well. And to add insult to injury, this place claims to be "Handicapped Accessible. Just the location of the bathrooms alone blows that claim right out of the water. Unfortunately, I have another voucher for a meal there, and if I can't get it refunded, I'll just throw it away. read more
