Bro started with his long-time favorite, Lobster Bisque. He liked it very much, but I quite honestly found the dish thin and watery. I like my lobster bisques thick and heavy, like they're a meal unto themselves. Not so much was the Atlantic Grill bisque. My appetizer, my other appetizer, really, was the Yellowtail Tartare Nicoise. This was delicious. Very light, almost like a sushi salad... which really it was, what with the tomato vinaigrette and haricot vert (green beans for youse uncultured types). The yellowtail was perfectly smooth and came within a hair of melting on your tongue.

My entree of choice was the Horseradish Crusted Sustainable Scottish Salmon. I have no idea what that means. But man, did I feel like I did my part for the environment that day. Alongside it were asparagus-leek ravioli and a cherry tomato ragout. Since I like anything asparagus or leek, I figured I couldn't go wrong as far as its sides were concerned. And I didn't. The crust was like a little thin shelf of horseradish essence. I could barely taste it, and that's good since it had to potential to totally overpower the salmon. The salmon itself was very moist and, since I ordered it medium, not overly flaky. Bro went for the Crab Crusted Golden Snapper with herb gnocchi, baby artichokes and a truffle emulsion. Since I didn't eat more than a bite or two, I don't feel like I'm in a great position to fully judge the dish, but Bro ate the whole thing and I certainly liked it a lot.



I was disappointed with the fact that Atlantic Grill, a seafood restaurant, has relatively few unique seafood entrees. Only about a half dozen. The rest are "simply grilled" standard fish dishes with your choice of a side and a sauce. And I can get those at Red Lobster. Speaking of which, Atlantic Grill also has lobster.

For dessert, Bro and I picked from the rather traditional menu. I chose the Apple Streusel Pie with brown butter ice cream. Coming piping hot in a 6" x 4" tin, you could easily share this dessert with someone rather than eat it alone. The apple streusel was quite good, as was the ice cream, which I initially thought I wouldn't like. Bro got the Molten Chocolate Cake with malt crunch ice cream. It was a yawn-inspiring lava cake that seems to have become this decade's dessert of choice. When Bro cut into it, the hot chocolate spilled over the plate and while I couldn't have cared less, he gave it, and I quote: A+++.
