My fiancé and I were in the mood for bougie brunch with a view... so we headed to Atlantica at The Allegria Hotel. We read bad reviews and I had eaten there a few years ago (and have not been back since) -- we decided brunch is not hard to mess up, let's give it another try. The hostess was super friendly, and didn't mind one but when I asked to sit by the window facing the boardwalk. Ren was our waiter - he was super attentive, filled my mimosa and water regularly before it was empty and exceeded typical waiter service in LB! Our fresh oysters and shrimp cocktail was out very quickly. The basket of pastries was super fresh. The croissant and muffin were my favorite The buffet itself was great! I had scrambled eggs, French toast, potatoes, eggplant rollatini, and a blueberry pancake. My fiancé had an omelette (which he said was really good), the staff told him to try the ribs (he said it was so good)... I can't recall what else he on on his plate, but we enjoyed the brunch. The cupcakes were our favorite desserts.. we had a few different flavors. Every staff member in the dining room was friendly and on point. I didn't expect this great of service! Ren was nearby and made our experience a 10! If you haven't been here in a while, or never been, I highly recommend! Excellent service! read more

Surprisingly the entire menu isn't overpriced although a small mango margarita was $14.... The view of the beach and the decor is simply beautiful. That's the main reason I came here and returned. I've had the hot wings and New York Strip Steak which were both delicious! My friend has the salmon(great)and a few salads(okay). The Staff is very nice but our 1st visit was better than the 2nd. During our 1st visit service was great because the two waiters only had 2 tables but on the 2nd visit service started out great but after having 4 other tables the 3 waiters couldn't handle it. I'm disappointment and my friend isn't sure if we should return. read more

See all

Consider this a placemark. I will be dining here with guests tonight and then will update my review. Based on some of the other reviews, I don't really know what to expect, but I am hopeful! Oh well, we shall see. :) Edit: And now the update. First the good. The lobster risotto appetizer is out of this world! Also, our waiter John was very good. As to the rest, I hadn't even entered the bulding and I was down $10. Yes, they charge for valet parking. The place was extremely noisy with loud music coming from the lounge area. Add that to all tile, glass and chrome and you have one very noisy place. The duck entree was sub par. It included a duck drumstick (no thigh portion) that was overcooked and dry and a rare sliced breast. The skin was crispy though and the sweet potato puree and sauce was good. We opted to take our deserts to go and instead have a cordial. They were rather small (see picture). Prices are very high! Bottles of wine are at least 4 times retail. Summary: This is one of those places that you see pictures of in the NY Post of trendy hot spots in Manhattan where all the celebs go. Except no celebs and no Manhattan. So, why 2 stars instead of one? It has a nice ocean view and some of the food was ok. Frankly, I think that lobster risotto lifted the rating higher than it really should be. read more

Atlantica - 2 different desserts. - New American Near Me - Long Beach, New York

The food was very disappointing. The tuna tacos were raw, crab cakes were burnt. The salmon was very under cooked. The food has little to no seasoning. Everything tasted bland. It's definitely not worth the money being spent. The food took so long to come that by the time it reached our table it was cold. The service was very poor. They left the food at the bar. It just sat there for about 10 mins until I had to physically get up and tell them " hey that's the food for my table". That was when they then took action in bringing our food to our table. The ambiance wasn't too pleasant either there the tables went clean nor was the chairs in the proper order. Everything was everywhere. read more

I wrote a review on 6/29/23 but hit send too soon. So here is my full review. Food was good. Ambiance was great. However, the service was poor. I'll get right to it. We were seated and had to wait 15 minutes for our drinks, not even water was served, followed by a 45 minute wait for our appetizers; and yet another 45 minutes for our main course We were told the kitchen was backed up, however, upon surveillance of the restaurant there were maybe 4 other tables occupied. Backed up? I said. Waitress said, well it was a little while ago. SMH. My friend ordered soup as her main course. It came out as an appetizer. Of course she wasn't going to eat it, because it's only polite to wait for everyone else to get their food. So we asked the waitress if she could keep it warm in the kitchen until the rest of the food came out. 20 minutes later everyone's food came out. Needless to say, the soup was cold. So back it yet. It was just a disaster. I was so disappointed. One would think the manager would have gotten involved at some point. Upon leaving we did ask for the manager who we were told had left for the day. This is a lunch, by the way. So we spoke to the supervisor, who agreed it was indeed a disaster. Did he offer us a discount? No. Did he offer us a round of drinks? Nope. Nada. Zilch. By the way, my friend drove from Freehold, NJ to experience this disaster. Oh, did I mention it was a disaster? read more

The waiter was good. The food was like bar food. Definitely low quality. I had higher expectations, and the ceilings were falling apart at the seams by the walls. Paint and parts of ceiling were hanging over tables with people eating. Not worth it. read more

I am giving restaurant one star just for Location and ambiance. Otherwise skip This restaurant. Overpriced restaurant because it's in an expensive hotel On the Long Beach boardwalk. The food, when it finally came out, was either the wrong order, missing items, overcooked, and not as described in menus. Because of issues and poor service, the four of us ended up eating meals at different times. Bartender not knowledgeable in mixing drinks. I ordered a margarita and they put pineapple juice in it, which is completely wrong. After complaining, the restaurant at least comped us desserts and coffee, but admitted other diners had complained about the service and misrepresentation of food items on the menu. With so many excellent restaurants in Long Beach there is absolutely no reason to come Here, even if you are staying in hotel. Avoid!! read more

My husband and I live on Long Island and go for walks often on the Long Beach boardwalk. Since there are only a few places to eat there we have eaten at Atlantic Restaurant a couple of times and every time we are disappointed. We swore last night is our last time there. First of all this is an upscale restaurant in a beautiful location on the water, the decor is pretty and the prices are expensive! . Overall the food is ok and some dishes are quite tasty including the mussels but the service is terrible. The waiter was nice but never really attended to us properly. Starting with drinks - he brought me the wrong beer and then when he returned with the right beer it was warm. He took our order - an appetizer and main course and all the food was brought out at the same time. The table was never cleared. We had to get up from our table to get someone to order another drink. One of the drinks came quickly but we waited 20 minutes for the 2nd drink and finally said forget it and asked for the check. Find another restaurant in Long Beach. read more

Horrible management. They screwed up gave me the wrong menu to order from since I was staying at Allegria. After 1/2 hour waiting for my food when I was told 15 minutes. The worker care up to me explaining he gave me the wrong menu after I quested it in the beginning. So the food was even being made yet. He got the manager to speak to me, I got fed up so I just kept the food. All he could give me was 25% off when half of the items were free on the other list. Bad bad management. They won't make it far and now I won't stay at the hotel which isn't cheap. It's all about customer service and you failed. read more

The service was friendly, but not very attentive. I was very disappointed by this; especially seeing that there was a very heavy tip automatically left on my table's bill. We were not happy about that. However, the ambiance was wonderful and the beach views at sunset were well worth the cost of food & drinks. I would return again for the ambiance and in big hopes of receiving better service. read more

The restaurant is located right in the boardwalk and has a great view of the beach. The ambiance is nice as well. However the food is not only pricey but wasn't all that great. The Manhattan lobster chowder was awful. Over cooked and chewy. Salmon was not bad. If you are vegetarian.. Forget it! Nothing to eat here for lunch. Most of the menu is mainly seafood. Personally, I wouldn't come back here again. read more

Atlantica - Nice view of the beach! Not many options for vegetarians for lunch. - New American Near Me - Long Beach, New York

Awful experience. Service was incredibly slow. Think the staff was overwhelmed but unacceptable service. Management do better. Would've returned my plate but was hungry and hardly saw the server. Wrong food provided. If I asked to have it corrected would've been sitting there another hour. Food was questionable and overpriced. Small portions. Menu was pathetic. Recommend eating anywhere else nearby. Don't give this place your money it will be wasted. It's not a place worth eating. At the very best grab a beer and run before you get too drunk and decide to order something. Really a shame because the location is great but that does not give you permission to run an embarrassment of an establishment. read more

Great food with a view. Service was friendly and hospitable. Food, simple and delicious. Service spot on. Highly recommend for a group brunch or lunch. read more

I just walked 2 blocks to my apartment from having dinner with a friend at the Atlantic at the Allegria Hotel. Its just such a shame. It is such a pretty place. Beautiful bar area, beautiful seating and wine cellar area. The food is okay, there are much better restaurants in the area, but I have been here about 5 times in the last 2 years I have lived here and there has never been a time where the service was okay. Oh yes when I came in for just dessert. I think the problem is with the people in the kitchen. I have also been here when it was very busy and it was so understaffed and we all could not get our food at the same time or we had to wait a while to get drinks. My friend was upset because she was eating alone. Her spanish octopus which she liked had to be cooked and she received it 20 minutes before me and she asked for mine 2 times. Mine was a burrata and asparagus appetizer which did not have to be cooked so why was i sitting there watching her eat?! This is the constant theme here. Extremely poor service. I have never been to a restaurant with such consistent poor service. It is a shame because I live in this area and would love to be able to take my guests here since it is so pretty. I only went there tonight because I wanted something simple that I could walk to. Some great restauranteur who knows what they are doing should come in and make this a desirable place to eat at. It would be nice to get your monies worth too! read more

Terrible ! When we asked to be seated we were told to wait for a table to be cleaned. No one cleaned the table and we had to ask the hostess a few times before someone came. Once seated no one took our order , I had to ask the hostess to send a waiter. We waited over 2 hours ! Yes TWO hours for our food. The waiter was so sweet and she kept checking the kitchen for us and she said it wasn't even cooked yet . So we left with no food ! read more

Spent the Valentine's evening with wife there. The food and ambiance was fantastic. We chose to seat in the main dining room. The service was ok k. :) read more

Atlantica at Allegria Hotel...god awful. Eat somewhere else. There are many restaurants to chose from but we were staying at the Allegria so why not eat there. This place is suppose to be high class but there is nothing high class about the restaurant or the hotel. It was a slow Monday night. We got Gin and tonics to drink. Not sure what kind of Gin that was but it didn't even taste like Gin. Not even the lowest well Gin. We didn't ask for Tangurey or Bombay so we didn't complain. They didn't have a big selection of food. We ordered crab cake sliders first. They were good. Then we got the the lobster roll to share which came with French fries. It was inedible. It had a licorice flavor that we both tasted. So we ate all the fries. Oh and we ordered a small pepperoni pizza and that was ok. We told our waitress, Paige, about the lobster roll. She said ok I'll let the chef know. Now I know she didn't cook the food so her tip wasn't affected...yet. She didn't come back until we called her over to ask for the check about 5-10 min later. The check had the lobster roll on it which we were absolutely not going to pay for since we didn't eat it. So we had to call her back over and ask if they could remove the roll. She took the check back and removed the lobster roll but they charged us for fries we ate. What is that about??? At that point I didn't even care about the fries. The manager never came over to apologize or say anything. I've worked in many restaurants and I would never treat customers like this and I tip very well because I've worked in this industry but in the end Paige's tip was affected. Basically we paid $60 for crab cake sliders, a tiny pizza, french fries and two "gin and tonics". I would have rather gone to a pizzeria for food and then to a bar for a beer instead but we wanted to sit down at a restaurant. The next morning we ate there for breakfast because we heard really good things about their breakfast. That was dumb. We should have gone somewhere else considering our dinner experience but we thought we would try it. Coffee cups on the table were dirty along with the water glasses. The buffet was just eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes and oatmeal. Small bagels and croissants that were hard. But for $14 each I guess you get what you pay for. The breakfast wasn't as bad as dinner but since we heard how great the breakfast was we were disappointed. The coffee was good though. I wouldn't ever go back here and I will deter anyone who is thinking about eating or staying here. read more

I SWEAR I'D GIVE THIS PLACE NEGATIVE STARS IF I COULD! First, let me inform you all that I've been here over 5 times but last night will make it my last! NO EXCEPTIONS. The "director" Marela (or whatever the heck her name was) was the rudest person I've ever met in my life. Yes, I am going to be as dramatic as possible without possibly getting sued. Let me get dirty with this one... Ok granted...my friend had a 4:00pm reservation for brunch because she is moving to California on Wednesday (going away fiesta). This same friend decided last minute to move the reservation up to 3:00pm so of course the guests were late. My friend failed to tell the host that we will just make it for dinner (although we were at the bar the whole time), so ok maybe that was her fault. It's dinner time now and we are a table of 15. The restaurant is literally...LITERALLY...19% full and that's including our party. The service was terrible. We sat down at 6:15pm and didn't get our main course until 8:00pm. I decided to speak to Marela about this service and the fact that our waitress took forever to bring our drinks, to bring our appetizers, AND to bring everything else in life even the water. If the restaurant was jammed pack I would totally understand this but as I said before 19% ppl ...19%!! You know what this lady's response was? Let me do this verbatim... "You know your friend didn't even tell us that she was no longer doing the brunch. We blocked this table out specifically for her and she did a no show. Now you want to show up for dinner unexpectedly with 15 ppl and expect the service to be fast and you want to complain but you didn't even let us know you won't attend for brunch." I'm standing there like "woosah Jana woosah" because the attitude from her went 0 to 100 real quick and it was uncalled for. Yes Marela you're right, my friend was wrong for not contacting the restaurant to inform you that we will not make it for brunch, but we are here for dinner with more ppl than we reserved for the brunch so your money is still being made (Point 1), your goal as a director is to always satisfy your patrons and try your best to meet their needs not play tit for tat because you're still bitter over the brunch situation (Point 2), and you should never become unprofessional when a customer is politely and respectfully expressing the way they feel about the service they are receiving ESPECIALLY when their name is Jana Parker and they can become ghetto like Shanaynay in 3 f$#%in seconds (Point 3). If that's even a point. Oh and it gets better... So after I decided to discuss this with her, I guess she wanted to screw with us more and decided to send the security to our table to tell us we were too loud. Half of the party was in the bathroom at this time and the other half (including myself) was at the table quiet as shit. It was an irritating experience and I was just so surprised at how everything was handled. The food was mediocre as always. The only thing this place is really REALLY good for is the brunch on Sundays. I'll give it that. I've had the same type of sucky service the other times that I visited outside of the brunch on Sundays. I always feel as though they're slow, but this was the last straw. After building up a $2,000 bill and being treated like assholes because we're young and are hungry ppl. that have issues waiting 2 hours for our food, I realized that I have to let go of this place. Bye bye bye *N'sync voice* Oh, and I forgot to mention...remember I said we were at the bar the whole time right? It was NOT busy during brunch to the point where that "blocked out section" would have made the restaurant lose ANY MONEY AT ALL. BYE FELICIA! read more

This place is open again. I really hoped Sandy would kill it for good. Note to God: try fire next time. We went there during the Labor Day surf expo a few years ago and had horrible greasy scallops. 20% gratuity added to a party of two? We were perfectly polite until the waiter stole my husband's iPhone during the meal. We had to skip my friend Laurie's BBQ and fill out a police report. Management was hostile. Rude would be an understatement. read more

Great Brunch!! After stopping by Atlantica /Allegria Hotel for drinks a few times after walking the boardwalk, we decided to stop dreaming about the Brunch Buffet we were always ogling, and go experience it. Suffice it to say, we will be back! First tip: Make a reservation in advance, and request the dining room. While there are some highboy tables in the bar/lounge area, it gets quite crowded with people standing around & almost bumping into your table. (This might be a good thing if you're a 20-something looking for a casual daytime date experience - great for people watching). If you're looking to relax a bit, get the dining room. We called up the morning-of and were told that we could be seated at 2:30. When we arrived, our table was ready immediately and located along the windows so we had a perfect ocean view. Second tip: Don't eat anything before coming here! Cold seafood platters feature Alaskan King Crab Legs (not salty at all, just sweet & perfect), lobster tails and claws, huge shrimp cocktail. You could stay here all day and be happy, but there's more... Egg omelet station, Belgian Waffle station, assorted pastries (very fresh!), assorted salads like curry mango, black bean & corn, ceviche, caesar, cubed cheeses, fresh salumi meats, dried fruits & nuts and brie (CON: We arrived at 2:30, left at 5, and the hot brie was empty when we arrived & never replenished. But that was the only Con). Let's continue on the food: Sushi bar, asian dumplings, 3 hot chafing dishes that probably changes: Chicken Cordon Bleu, Branzino w/couscous, Shell steak w/fingerling potatoes. Creamed spinach and sauteed veggies. Prime Rib and Leg of Lamb at the carving station. A pasta station featuring THE BEST mushroom ravioli with champagne sauce i've ever had (how odd to be impressed by ravioli - but we kept raving about it!). Everything was cooked perfectly, and replenished frequently (except the brie, as noted). Dessert table was long & varied: nutella crepes, homemade cakes, little pastries, ice cream bar, and bread pudding made out of croissants (my husband was still talking about this last one this morning when he woke up!). Drinks: plentiful and strong. They kept them coming (none of this usual b.s. of "gee if we serve them the unlimited drinks slowly we'll save money). Our server was excellent and as soon as we hit a low point in the glass the next one arrived. Also - they go beyond the standard Mimosa, offering mimosas with guava, pear, etc. and the hubby was thrilled with the Spicy Bloodymary he requested. Service: On Top Of It!! Can't say enough good things - these folks have been through training and it shows. Plates are cleared immediately, when you come back to your chair with the next plate of food your new silverware & folded napkin await you. You don't wait for anything - while you have your Main Server, everyone is there to take care of you and it's service with a smile. Price: $57 + tax & tip. This ended up coming to an even $150 for 2 people since we really enjoyed the hours-long excellent service and food. We can't wait to go back, taking friends with us. Bottom Line: GO!! and bring your walking shoes with you so you can walk the boardwalk afterwards and try to lessen the guilt you'll feel at enjoying this feast! read more

If you accept it's expensive prior to entering, you'll enjoy yourself. The food is memorable, the wine list impressive and the staff knowledgable. The views of the ocean are the best in long beach; that being said, everything is overpriced. It's a great place to get away from the fist pumping wannabees and drunk girls crying in the streets of the west end because their boyfriend who wasn't actually their boyfriend was making out with their housemates cousin's friend. read more

I would give it a 1.5 stars if I could but since I can't I'll stick with 2. Jacob Y stayed with us and although we were thinking of going to Jing Fong after a huge party from the night before, we weren't going to make the drive. Our neighbor the night before had mentioned that they were going to Atlantica and we saw them afterwards and he had a good experience. Now, we live a couple of streets from this hotel and I remember watching it being built thinking about how amazing it would be to have a place so close by to get brunch and have drinks. I also remember when they opened hearing reviews that weren't so amazing about the food. As someone who has reached out to their PR to cover their hotel and never hearing a response, I was super skeptical. The hotel definitely have a South Beach vibe which is great as I travel there a lot and stay at the Loews. After letting the door guy know that we weren't guests and were just coming for brunch (which was listed on the outside that they were having it) we finally got in and it is a gorgeous space. It's one where you want to come and hang out when you don't feel like hitting the bars. The wine room and everything is really fab. After we were seated our waiter must have been tired but told us that there was no brunch which sucked as we were in the brunch hour and the sign said that they had it. Looking at the menu, I felt it was a bit all over the place but I wanted to give it a shot. My Bloody Mary had way too much lemon in it and only after stirring did I get the horseraddish. My meal was a shrimp in pita with a chipotle sauce but everything was fried and a little goes a long way. Jacob had a duck confit that he was less enthused over and my boyfriend another foodie had a crabcake that wasn't anything to write about. It's a shame as I would come back for drinks and to order dessert in one of their bar areas but it would have been nice to have a hotel bar that was fun. It would also be nice to have a place that encouraged guests of the hotel as well as the locals who would love to support it. I hope that they continue to tweak their concepts and come up with a truly fun beach menu with South Beach flavor which doesn't mean fried. read more

Mismanagement!! ...says it in a word. It's pretty and has a nice bar but horrible service. We went there for drinks and apps to watch the ranger game. First of all even though there appeared to be three bartenders we couldn't get their attention because they were talking to each other. When finally the drinks came we ordered off the bar menu and the regular menu. The couple of items on the regular menu came pretty soon. An over spiced Tuna tartar and a pretty good lobster roll. Then we waited and waited for the other apps. (Empanadas, pigs in blankets, pot stickers, and mini burgers) Finally after complaining twice to the bartender he went to the kitchen to find out what was going wrong. He came back with excuses but no food. Finally 2 HOURS later HALF our apps came out but after three hours we never got the pot stickers or the dogs. It's like they didn't even try and didn't care read more

Came here for my birthday and well as I said last time I really couldnt have asked for anything more from this chic place in long beach Nassau county, ny. Where can you find an upscale Miami beach vibe place in ny? The service was great. I was served by Andrew who was great. He had alot of personality and we bonded immediately. The food was served perfectly on time, I really didn't have to wait much. I would highly recommend the grilled jumbo shrimp salad. I have never seen shrimp so large in my life but boy was it delicious. I had told andrew that my main reason for coming back was for the the soufflé. He kindly informed me that the day that I had it was just for the holiday. I was disappointed but continued my meal nonetheless. After my third round of drinks Andrew had come to my table with MY SOUFFLE! The chef had ESPECIALLY made it for me! Can we say great service? Can We say someone who doesn't know you going above and beyond? Yes!! Very impressed and exceptionally happy the souffle was as orgasmic as I had remembered. Thank you Andrew and thank you chef Todd Jacobs for making my birthday even better than it could be. I will be back. read more

We live right across the street and have been here for dinner around 5 times. Each time we visit the food and service are worse than the last. Not only is the food overpriced but it's of poor quality. I ordered a ribeye and was served something that resembled a london broil. When I challenged the waiter he brought it back to the chef who insisted that it was in fact a ribeye. I've eaten my fair share of steak in my life and this was, in no way shape or form, a ribeye steak. The $45 price tag was insulting given it was a $7 piece of meat. The last straw was the health department visited and wrote them up as they had 5 RED violations. This was the most in all of Long Beach and a disgrace to a business who continuously claims to provide "luxury". I've added a photo of the health departments violations, these are symptomatic of gross negligence and it's very obvious that management cares not for the health nor well being of their clientele. read more

Atlantica - New American Near Me - Long Beach, New York

Most of the previous posters have already summed up my experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the view of the beach and Boardwalk is spectacular, I felt like I was in a five star Manhattan restaurant. Unfortunately there were too many negatives- the waiter was friendly, professional and gave as good service as he could, but the place was clearly understaffed. We were waiting an eternity for our food and were completely underwhelmed when it arrived. I had the roast chicken restaurant week special, which quite frankly was mediocre, as were all the other dishes. Everything took so long and we ended up being there for almost 3 hours! We'll probably be back, but only for drinks, not to eat. read more

If we have a rare date night sand fancy a beach front scene we'll head to long beach and go to the atlantica! The food is always good and service is great!! You get the very occasional old guy with a young lady on his arm sat in the corner but he's harmless enough! Great views, open dining area never cramped.. Unless it's New Year's Eve! Overall every experience has been great. read more

Atlantica - Quail - New American Near Me - Long Beach, New York

The atmosphere here is absolutely fantastic. The Hotel Manager, one of the nicest men I've ever met. Despite those two pluses I've placed above... I still didn't have a great, great time. It wasn't because of the company or anything like that either :P ;) Basically, the food is good. I was just really expecting a lot more from the food for a place that has the atmosphere it does and the prices they charge. :/ I had a three course meal with my boyfriend and cannot remember one thing that we had. Too bad. read more

just ok. Great location - overlooking the beach. The hotel and decor are impressive, but food leaves so much to be desired. My husband and I went for dinner and it wasn't bad, but wasn't great. Granted, I am vegetarian and asked for an altered dish so maybe that threw them off. I got pasta with veggies that reminded me of a bad option for the kid's menu. My husband got the rack of lamb and didn't even finish it. With all that hoopla surrounding the hotel and restaurant, they should get a proper chef to cook decent food. That being said, the wait staff was nice. read more

Nice place with a great view and it ends there.... I NEVER was brought out a dish that I ordered that turned me off so much That I didn't want to eat at all....usually I will send it back and get something else, but this turned me off so much, I would rather starve!!!!!.....it is a very high priced place that try's to be a fancy 5 star restaurant, but you are better off eating in any diner!!!!! I also wanted to say the only reason that there is any stars on this review is because they don't let you post without post without checking a star..... read more

The location and view are wonderful but that's it. It took about 30 min for the food to come out (it was not very crowded). My wrap came with mayonnaise on it which was not mentioned on the menu. The fries were cold. When we walked in we had to wait a while for the three people at the hostess desk to stop talking to each other to merely acknowledge our presence. We will Not be back read more

Came here for the Sunday buffet brunch for noon seating. I wasn't able to make the reservation on Open Table but had no problems reserving two seats when I called. The brunch was great and will definitely be giving the Garden City Hotel a run for its money. Including tax and tip, brunch was about $80+ per person. Overall, it felt like money well spent due to the tasty food, beach chic atmosphere, and boardwalk views. This brunch is nice way to celebrate a special occasion. read more

Place was very nice and clean, the views were very nice. The wine list isn't great but Ana our server was very friendly and attentive. Recommend a lunch there. read more

I went here for the President's day wknd. I stayed at the Allegria hotel and dined at Atlantica for dinner. Since the restaurant is located right by the beach I expected a beach view. But after the sunset there is absolutely no light out. So all you see is black darkness. Inside decoration was nice, yet considering their food price it should've been nicer. The jellyfish-like lamps are only located in the middle of the restaurant. I thought it would've been better if they are decorated all throughout the restaurant. For food, I ordered chef's special platter of fresh seafood (oysters, clams, chilled lobster, shrimp....), which tasted excellent. They were very fresh and tasteful. I was very satisfied. (Although the shrimps were a bit over cooked, and wished lobster was served with melted butter sauce.) My friend ordered prefix course with lobster bisque, flounder, and three flavored ice-cream. I loved the appetizer and the main course but there was nothing special about their homemade ice-cream. Service wise, as other Yelpers rated, service is slow. However, our waitress was very attentive and helpful. Overall, their seafood was very satisfying, yet don't expect too much before going. If you are in the area it's worth of trying but don't travel all the way here for just the food. read more

Atlantica - New American Near Me - Long Beach, New York

This past weekend, I stayed with a couple of friends of mine out in Long Beach, NY for the Memorial Day Weekend. The weather was awesome, the cookout was delicious, and having amazing company always tops such holiday weekends. So as a denoument to the festivities, we decided to stop by Atlantica for brunch on Memorial Day, as it was a new place that none of us have been to on the Boardwalk. To begin with, this hotel has very tight security at the entrance from the Boardwalk, as we noticed that they were quite inquisitive when you enter. Regardless, we got in, and the instant perception is how modern chic the furnishings are. Once we perused about to check the place out, we had to wait a few minutes for a table at the restaurant. Once seated, we ordered bloddy marys to kick off the meal. The verdict...tasty indeed, with a healthy portion of horseraddish. It was missing a bit of pepperness and spiciness to it, but not bad. That is where to good stops and the experience went a bit downhill. For a holiday weekend, we were a bit astounded at the fact that there was no brunch on Memorial Day. Regardless, we proceeded to order from the regular menu. One of us ordered the crab cake, one of us got the shrimp po boy, and I got the BBQ duck confit. The consensus overall...it was average if that. The crab cake was fried hard, the po boy was overly fried and my BBQ duck confit was over fried, over sauced with BBQ sauce and sitting on top of a bed of spinach soaking in grease. Part of the duck was fried so much it was hard to even eat. And for the prices for these dishes...definitely a bit of disappointment. As my friend Kimmie S. put it...definitely a place to have drinks and mealwise, we may pass next time. Good thing they have a very posh atmosphere to at least hang out at! read more

Have always wanted to try this place, given its close proximity and seemingly great views along the boardwalk and the ocean. After seeing a Groupon for $55 towards $100 of food and drinks (which with a Groupon promo was only $44) we decided to give it a shot. Sadly a huge disappointment. Decor is nice but warn. Dirty walls by our table, another guest next to us complained about a dirty seat. Candle on table not lit. First experience is the bread, brought over in a fancy basket by the bus boy along with some oil and vinegar. Problem is the break tonight is a half a roll that gets used in sandwiches, which we along with many other tables left for dead. Horrible rolls that tasted like they're from a plastic bag. Appetizers: Soup of the day was good and the shrimp cocktail was fine (just overboiled so they were too hard). Problem was they served the appetizers and salads simultaneously and nobody saw a problem with that, except that the 4 plates couldn't even fit on the table. After asking, they took the salads back and held them until we finished our starters. Arugula salad was good but the Greek salad was two large chunks of iceberg lettuce and less than a spoon of dressing. Waited 5+ minutes before getting some dressing for the salad. Entrees went downhill. Burger was ok. Just a basic burger. The lobster roll I had (which used the same horrible bread from earlier) was inedible. Four bites....three of them had lobster shells mixed in them. Spit a few out onto the plate to show the waitress. Manager came to apologize quickly and left. Ordered desserts to use up the Groupon dollars. Desserts not worth it. $14 for a 3 inch square brownie, 4 marshmallows, graham cracker dust, whipped cream from a can and a scoop of chocolate ice cream with ice chunks inside of it. Coffee was flavorless and warm. Cappuccino had no foam. It was nice the manager would later comp the desserts. Overall a disappointing experience. Would not return. Quality of the food is poor and not enough attention to detail. Managers and executive chefs need to be making sure everything is right before it goes out, not apologizing and doing constant damage control after. Sorry but this 1 star rating was earned. read more

Had heard some mixed reviews back and forth between the food (strong) and the service (weak). Our experience matched up with this pretty well. We went in on a winter night right before Christmas, so we weren't surprised to see a pretty empty dining room. We were then surprised it took 5 minutes for someone to ask about drinks / offer menus. This pace of service persisted throughout. On the flip side, the food was great. You can choose from a prix fixe or from the a la carte menu, and you can also pull items from the prix fixe to order a la carte. The pumpkin soup was excellent - creamy, savory and just the right amount of spice. As for entrees, the duck breast was perfectly cooked and well-paired with the veggies and the glaze. The penne/chicken dish was also solid, if boring. Since the scenery was fun, the slow service was easier to overlook, and the staff was definitely pleasant. Atmosphere-wise, this restaurant is the closest thing Long Beach has to NYC by a long way. I'll definitely go back. read more

Great view; pretty room; attentive service. Good Caesar salad; servers are young and nice, but need more training. Wine list awful. Easy to correct - please do. Very comfortable seating and nice ambiance. Food - not great. If they upgraded food and wine list they would have a winner. read more

The worst moment, the food is horrible, the service the worst, I went to celebrate my husband's birthday and it was my worst experience I could have lived, I do not recommend it, no star I give is the worst restaurant. Bad, bad, bad!!!! The food is frozen. read more

I've eaten at the Atlantica at The Allegria Hotel, twice. I heard a lot about this place and looked it up online and became a fan immediately. I thought the chic design and location would be perfect for a weekend getaway or lunch on the beach. I guess my expectations were too high. My first experience was in the winter time, when they were less busy, less crowded. I just had to check it out. Service was "ok", food was pretty good. My most recent experience was last week, July 5,2011. I arrived at the hotel and paid for lounge chairs with the cabana boys (who were pretty helpful, although they could have brought to my attention that it was possible to order lunch on the beach, cash only). It seemed like I had to ask a lot of questions before getting any answers. I'm not trying to sound snobbish, I've worked in the hospitality industry for many years and have given pretty good service in my time... When people are looking for a day of relaxation, they don't want to work too hard to get comfortable (especially if they've never been to the hotel before). Just give them what they want and you'll reap the benefits (make a new friend, get a good tip, etc.) So we decided to have lunch in the restaurant. The hosts were unsure of where to seat us. We did mention that we may be 5 people, but only 3 were present. There was one table available by the window set up as a 4-top, most of the restaurant was empty (that was the table we wanted). The hosts then made a phone call to ask a manager if we could fit 5 people at the 4-top (they couldn't decide on their own). If I were hosting, I would say "We have a 4-top available by the window, we can seat you there, but we will have to move you if the rest of your party arrives." Doesn't that make sense?? They should know that people want to sit near the window for a boardwalk view, if it's available. They weren't busy, but they were short-staffed. So, we sat down for lunch with Melody (fun, enthusiastic, hardworking waitress) who seemed to know the restaurant ropes. It appeared to me that her team was lacking in knowledge, speed, etc., she seemed to be on the ball. We ordered our cocktails and some shellfish to start. Low and behold the shellfish came out before our cocktails! That's a NO NO! And the shellfish (oysters, clams, shrimp) came out without a cocktail fork or demitasse spoon for the vinegar. I had to ask the bus boy for them. We then ordered the rest of our meal. I was pleased with the food and after two martinis, I didn't care about the service. All in all, it wasn't a great experience, but I'll give them some time. They have only been open for a year or so. Maybe my review will help them hire more experienced staff, like myself. read more
