I cannot rave about the job BOG does with this place. I've eaten at most of their other restaurants and have never been disappointed but Atlantic Grill stands out from the others IMO. I live on the UES and always choose this place for a special occassion or a spontaneous dinner out with someone special when you want to truly be pampered with great food and service. The service from the host/hostess to the bar staff to the wait staff is nothing short of superb. The food is always consistent, always fresh and the wine list outstanding. The lobster salad with the roasted peaches is amazing in the summer. The sushi, though some non traditional, is very good (try the house special sea bass roll ) As for entrees the sea bass and crab crusted snapper are my faves but the scallops are great too. Their wine list seems to have a lot of boutique offerings that are high quality or some vintages from producers that you know but that aren't available retail. The markups seem less than most restaurants too from what I can see, about 70-80%, not 125-150% like many, but that market is always changing season to season.

Pros: Service, Dinner, Brunch

Cons: You may need to make reservations well in advance for key days/times

I live on the upper east side and Atlantic Grill is the BEST restaurant in the hood. Be sure to make reservations, otherwise you will find yourself standing in the crowded bar area for quite some time. I've tried close to everything on the menu and recommend the crab cakes, spicy crunchy tuna roll (unreal) and the sea bass. My friends LOVE the chopped salad too. The service is top-notch and really attentive (in a good, not annoying way) Can't wait for the summer, a glass of chard + a few rolls = A fabulous night on the UES

Pros: Food and Service

Cons: Nothing

I've eaten at Blue Water Grill several times, but wanted to try someplace new. Atlantic Grill did not disappoint! The miso chilean sea bass roll was one of the best rolls I've ever had and the nori wrapped big eye tuna was a nice twist on a favorite dish. Everything was delicious! We finished off a great meal by ordering the carrot cake with ginger ice cream, which had amazing flavor. The ginger ice cream was a surprise and delight and like nothing I have ever had. The restaurant had a great vibe and atmosphere and I will definitely be going back.

Normally I don't write reviews, but for whatever reason the majority of CitySearch critics are unbelievably picky and negative that you can easily get turned off by Le Bernardin and Per Se's write-ups. Having said that, Atlantic Grill was perfect. From the atmosphere (felt like we were in Florida near a marina) to the food (my mahi mahi was insane)...perfect. And definitely go with the banana dessert tower to close out your night.

Pros: Everything...we arrived at 11PM for dinner on a Saturday night

It's not their mainstay, but I had their sushi and was very pleased. The fish was very tender and fresh. Service was very good.

My husband and I visited Atlantic Grill for lunch on his birthday and we had a wonderful experience. I called at 11:45a and got reservations for noon. By 1:00 the place was packed so I was very thankful. Our server was excellent and the food was wonderful. We had crab cakes for an appetizer. My husband had the salmon burger and I had the ahi tuna salad, which was a very generous portion. We will definitely return on our next trip to NYC.

Pros: Ambience, service, food

Cons: None

I went to Atlantic Grill with a friend on Memorial Day for late lunch and we had a lovely time! Prompt service and a great little table in the outdoor seating area! Our kind waitress Jacqulin was very helpful & kept our waters & bread basket full on a very warm holiday. Great outdoor atmosphere & very clean bathrooms inside! The sweet potato chips were a lovely addition to the salmon burger! And the ice cream flavors were so creative when it came time for dessert! Reasonable pricing & friendly service will for sure bring me back to Atlantic Grill - but then again, all the BRGuest resturaunts have really impressed me! Thanks for a great meal!

Pros: Excellent service & great food!

Cons: Not enough time to chat with our fun waitress! (she was busy!)
