Atlantic Grill
IT’S BACK - AND BETTER WITH EVERY BITE
BY JULIE SAGOSKIN
After a refreshing renovation under new
management from Michelin-starred
Chef Antonio Salvatore and Monte
Carlo Hospitality Group, Lincoln Square’s
Atlantic Grill is back and better with every bite.
With a mouthwatering and updated look - and
menu - Atlantic Grill offers fresh and flavorful
fare. Chef Antonio adds his own innovative and
Mediterranean twist to an array of scrumptious
seafood dishes amidst a sexy and ‘place to be
seen’ setting. The 65-seat restaurant, which is
open from Sunday to Tuesday for lunch and
dinner, condensed its previous two dining rooms
accessible on 64th and 65th streets to one dining
space at 50 West 65th Street.
From sushi and sashimi to Saffron Spicy
Chicken, Atlantic Grill has a varied menu that
will take you on a tasty culinary tour. Start off
with the Salpicon de Octopus, made with fresh
peppers, jojo potatoes and spices, Red Shrimp
Salad, composed of red shrimp, burrata,
arugula and fennel or Lobster Bisque and
Escalope de Foie Gras with Maine lobster,
seafood broth, foie gras and crostini. Next up,
share their East and West Coast Oysters or
famed Seafood Tower, featuring a selection of
the freshest catch of the day. Offered steamed
or grilled, their daily seasonal seafood items
include Langoustine, Branzino, Swordfish,
King Crab Legs, Black Bass, Dorado and other
delectable delicacies.
Savor one of their sushi rolls at the updated
8-seat sushi bar. Favorites include the Dragon
Roll, with crispy prawn, avocado, teriyaki, BBQ
eel and umami tobiko, or choose to have a fiery
feast with the Fire Cracker Roll, made with
spicy blue crab, avocado, seared salmon and
truffle miso sauce. Their most savory specialties
include Australian Lamb Chops with hummus,
curry spices and labneh, Lobster Thermidor, a
whole Maine lobster and Japanese Wagyu New
York, 5oz of the most tender Japanese Wagyu
beef. Don’t forget their deliciously decadent
desserts including a selection of Mochi, Lotus
Cheesecake and sorbets.
The sleek and sumptuous decor in the
intimate dining room was designed to
demonstrate the restaurant’s rich history. They
even incorporated reclaimed wood paneling
from the former 64th street dining room which
is now fixed upon the walls and accented by
vibrant red and blue velvet curtains which are
reminiscent of dramatic stage curtains at the
nearby Lincoln Center. Imposing chandeliers
