This was the second time we have been to Atlantic Grill. Both times we enjoyed our meals. My husband ordered a martini dirty but it came back straight. The waitress brought pickle juice to the table to remedy it. One of our friends ordered tiramisu which I had ordered the first time I was at the restaurant. I do NOT recommend the tiramisu desserts. They are overly sweet and not constructed in the traditional tiramisu manner where the layers blend together. It was separate layers with dry lady fingers and very sweet piped filling. I think the restaurant should revisit this dessert. The service was great. The restaurant is loud.

Great experience start to finish. We were welcomed by staff and I asked for a booth. Great menu - so many good choices it made it hard to decide! Delicious haddock picatta and fish fry. Served hot and follow up was quick. Most food is gluten free and they accommodate dietary requests. Service was attentive. We will be back again soon.

It was my moms 86th birthday I originally booked for 14 but some people couldn’t make it, then it was down to 8, at the end, it ended up being 6 of us due to sickness and injuries. The restaurant was super accommodating, and even offered low table seating as we had 2 elderly people with us. Out waitress was wonderful, and so attentive! Overall, it was a very nice lunch. We will be back!

great food and service and the level of sound was low enough for us to have a conversation at our table, this is appreciated as my husband has hearing aides and sometimes restaurants leave him out of the conversation.

We took our 10 month old grandson there for brunch and everyone at the restaurant was so kind and accommodating! We were given a table by the fireplace which gave our grandson something to look at while we ate. The beverages and food arrived promptly which was wonderful since you only have limited time with a baby! The food was delicious and the server was very pleasant. Always a good experience at Atlantic Grill!

This is a favorite place to take out of town friends. Service and food are wonderful and always consistent. They go out of their way to accommodate special requests such as seating preferences. The atmosphere is what I would describe as casual upscale without being pretentious in any way. And they have a great rewards program.

Wow Susan, Thank you for your kind words and support! We appreciate you being a loyal guest and look forward to seeing you soon!

One guest did not like the meal served and the server immediately returned it to the kitchen and replaced with something completely different. Lovely environment, very clean and up to date. Hostess was especially nice!

We had a very busy day showing friends around from out of town and ended up reserving a table much later than usual, for 7:30. The kitchen closes at 8pm. Right from the time we were seated we felt rushed to make up our minds and order drinks and food! Our waitress tried to be friendly and accommodating but didn’t succeed. Her face and tone of voice said it all! Wow. We are Foodies and one friend’s son owns an upscale restaurant in Tupelo. Three of us ordered the Apple Martini special which was perfection! Not too sweet and very smooth. Our food was very good. Two of us ordered Haddock Piccata which was delicious! We would have liked more than 2 capers. My guy ordered the Scallop dish. The Scallops were fantastic! but to be honest the Brown Butter Carrot Puree with Wild Mushrooms, Pork Belly and Pomegranate Gastrique didn’t quite work. Pork belly was a bit much with the Scallops. Our other friend is on a pretty strict medical diet and had to keep her dish simple. She had her Salmon without any sauce, rice and bok choy. The Salmon was slightly overcooked. The end of the night for the chefs, we get it. Although we were’t very happy with our waitress, we enjoyed ourselves and left a very generous tip. As we were walking out, our waitress ran over thinking we were leaving without paying! We had asked for 2 separate checks, but had put both of our receipts and cash into one folder. She hadn’t looked in the other one…. We walked away a bit perturbed comparing her to nurse Ratchet! Perhaps the last seating for dinner should be 7pm with a closing time of 8pm. That gives customers an hour to relax and enjoy a fine meal without feeling like you are inconveniencing the staff.
