Atlantic Grill

Very nice place to go with excellent seafood. Beef brisket slightly disappointing. Nice for before Lincoln Center. Greatly improved from a visit a couple years back. Plan to return for the branzino - the food rating only at 4 could be related to the pre-theater menu. Service good but bewilderingly forgot my drink order.

I had been wanting to try Atlantic Grill before hitting a show at Lincoln Center for a few months and finally made my way in before a show. The hostesses were accommodating and sat me right away but then I proceeded to wait almost 15 minutes before receiving any menus and a few minutes longer before my server finally checked in. Ended up getting the pre-theater pri fixe just in time before the cutoff and chose the subpar sushi roll, the penne that unfortunately came with a hair in it and vanilla ice cream dessert. The ambiance was Upper Eastside Manhattan with an older crowd you’d expect. Price points and ambiance were solid including a lively bar area where folks were also grabbing bites and drinks. Guess I should have “curbed my enthusiasm” a bit but I really had high hopes especiall

We sat at the bar and had an incredible experience. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and our bartender, Gonzolo, made the night even better with great conversation and perfect recommendations. The vibe is relaxed yet upscale — ideal for a casual dinner or pre-show stop. And don’t miss the stunning Vhils portrait of Abraham Lincoln — it’s a breathtaking piece of art that makes this spot even more memorable. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar, enjoying the sushi, and taking a moment to appreciate the creativity all around you.

With the dim lighting and gorgeous crystal chandeliers, this place is elegant and lovely. We were seated at a table for 4, and so we were able to spread out and relax. Our server was friendly and provided us details on sides and desserts. Our lobster came out with different sauce options and was expertly prepared. And the bread basket was so pretty and also delicious. Bravo to present dessert with a birthday candle!

This is my favorite restaurant near Lincoln Center. It’s always packed with stylish locals, mostly seniors, which adds to the charm and trust of the place. While dinner here is great, I had the pleasure of visiting for Sunday lunch with a special guest. As always, everything was delicious—from the fresh oysters and octopus carpaccio to the ravioli, paella, scallops, and dessert. The service was also impeccable. Once again, I was reminded that this is a restaurant that never disappoints, no matter when you visit.
