The service left a lot to be desired. The waiter seemed very put upon and it was incredibly off-putting.

Very disappointed in the meal and service. My oysters were not fresh and ultimately inedible. I was brought a different main course than I expected, could have been my fault, but I’m not convinced. Had hopes for a good pre Lincoln Center meal. Will never return.

Atlantic Grill is my Lincoln Center 'go to'. Food is always great - staff is friendly and helpful and professional. Last night there was a 'glitch' in timing - we told the waitstaff we needed to leave at a certain time to go to the ballet - appetizers came but we were waiting over 30 minutes for our entre's - and ended up speaking to the manager as we had no time to eat - we had to cancel the rest of the order - we have NEVER experienced this - and I was appalled that we were charged $70 for the two appetizers. I know the restaurant was busy but, this has never happened before. So we shall see when we go back the next time we have something

Excellent dining experience! Service was wonderful and very attentive; we were well able to carry on our conversation and pacing was great for our getting to our concert: deliberate but not rushed. Thank you!

Great spot for pre Lincoln Center. Nice atmosphere. Seemed a bit quiet, I’m assuming that’s not the usual. I sat at the bar but the tables looked nicely spaced, lighting in the darker side (not too dark). The food was very good, I ordered the scallops and a veggie roll. The scallops were pricey but the portion was large. A bit of an older crowd. Looking forward to going back.
