Atlantic Grill has reopened in Lincoln Center with a new look, feel and menu from Monte Carlo Hospitality Group and Michelin-starred Chef Antonio Salvatore. Under their guidance, Atlantic Grill’s refreshed menu aims to please previous regulars and new guests alike.
The restaurant continues to celebrate the freshest seafood from the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, the finest cuts of meat and local seasonal produce with Chef Antonio’s signature Mediterranean flare and nods to dishes and ingredients located in or near other major global bodies of water.
On view is an abundance of fresh fish displayed on ice and in an aquarium that are showcased through the raw bar or sushi bar selections.
Restaurant with an extensive seafood menu and meat dishes in a stylish setting.

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 especially since it was moderately tough to get a resy locked in. Maybe just an off night….

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.

If there were more stars available i would be checking every one. From the minute we walked in to when we left was truly amazing. The service staff worked together like it was put together by a choreographer. The food was presented nicely and delicous. Great menu and fabulous cocktails. They make a mean Negroni. HIGHLY recommend it.

We had the best time at Atlantic Grille, NYC! The food, the vibe, decor, service – all top rate! Two of us ordered the butternut squash soup which turned into soup for 4 once the others had a spoonful – absolutely delicious! The beef cheeks were amazing – tender in a wine sauce with creamy mashed potatoes and cooked carrots – delish! We also enjoyed the grilled scallops with cous cous, and the walnut brownie with vanilla ice cream was heavenly. Several of our party ordered ice cream – and everyone said it was the creamiest and best they had encountered. The hazelnut got 5 out 5 stars, as well as the coconut sorbet.The chocolate was more of a dark chocolate so if you don’t like dark chocolate go with a different flavor. They have an extensive dessert menu so plenty of other things to choose from. Everyone said they’d love to come back again which is great because the restaurant has a loyalty program and we’ve already earned several hundred points. Highly recommend!

We went for a pre-ballet brunch. The servers were so nice and initially super attentive. We got guacamole to share that was fresh and very good. Drinks were served quickly as well. The entrees however took nearly 90 minutes, despite us asking for updates. I think because the kitchen was backed up they stopped coming to our table. Oddly, tables sat after us got food sooner. When we got it, my food was cold and not appetizing. The bacon was cold and not crispy. Eggs were cold and dry. Bread tasted like the grill. Wouldn’t go back for brunch. It may be different for dinner and pre-show in the evening.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while! Every single dish was bursting with flavor — from the perfectly fried calamari and the rich seafood pasta, to the creamy ravioli and fresh oysters. The seafood tower was a showstopper. The space is elegant and cozy at the same time, with warm lighting, beautiful booths, and a chandelier that sets the mood just right. Service was impeccable — friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend for a special dinner!

My husband and I had a great dinner at Atlantic Grill! The atmosphere was stylish but still cozy, and the service was super friendly. We shared the Dragon Roll sushi, and it was incredible – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The eel, avocado, and tempura shrimp were the perfect combo, and the sauce added just the right touch of sweetness. We’ll definitely be back for another date night!
