The Seafood and the Clientele Get Classy at Atlantic Grill
February 14, 2012If you’re on the Upper East Side and looking for your next reliable dinner date spot or power lunch locale, Atlantic Grill is the place for you. A member of dependable restaurant group BR Guest and something of an U.E.S. institution, Atlantic Grill offers a wide array of seafood interpretations from a raw bar with oysters and sushi to Maine lobster to blackened Atlantic swordfish. For the less fish-inclined, there are of course plenty of other staples to choose from, like organic thyme-roasted chicken, filet mignon, or a warm baked goat cheese and beet salad. On a recent dinner visit, I thoroughly enjoyed my bigeye tuna tartare with miso-lime vinaigrette and crisp skin Scottish salmon with butternut squash ravioli and broccolini in a slightly sweet maple mustard sauce. Drooling yet? Just wait. Of particular note is their classic Sunday Brunch, serving such indulgences as crab cake eggs benedict or apple crisp french toast, all of the choices accompanied by a complimentary cocktail and coffee or tea. All of this is served in the restaurant’s spacious Hamptons-esque multi-room interior, with chic mahogany accents, flattering warm light at dinnertime, and both intimate two-person tables as well as large, cushioned round booths for families and groups. There is another location in Lincoln Square, as well as the newest outpost in Atlantic City. Atlantic Grill on the Upper East Side is located on Third Avenue and 77th street, and you can make your reservation here.
