The exterior of the venue is undeniably striking, accented by marvelous murals and artistic decor that set an elevated, sophisticated tone before you even step through the doors. Inside, the establishment is impeccably pristine, wonderfully vibrant, and beautifully maintained. Their bar program is remarkable, boasting a serious wine collection and a selection of top-shelf spirits. For my beverage, I opted for the Smoke and Mirrors cocktail, which was expertly crafted, perfectly balanced, and thoroughly impressive. For my main dish, I selected the Fried Oysters a first for me at this particular establishment and though they were outside of the standard Happy Hour menu, they were an absolute culinary triumph! Crisp, extraordinarily fresh, and seasoned to perfection. The highlight of the evening, however, was the impeccable service. My server, Sarah, was an absolute delight gracious, attentive, and without a doubt the finest at the establishment. From the stunning aesthetics and pristine atmosphere to the divine cuisine and Sarah's top-tier hospitality, Atlantic receives absolute full marks from me. A flawless evening I shall most certainly be returning!

We did return! And The Atlantic is still among our favorite spots on the beach!…read moreWe hit the Happy Hour and the place was packed. We had a 45 minute wait but that was no big deal. Our group ordered some IPA's - Orange Starfish to be exact, and a couple of well drinks. We had the famous Smash Burgers and a a tuna slider. For an appetizer we had ceviche. We love ceviche but this version had really really soft, almost mushy scallops! No one was a fan of mushy scallops so we ate around them! We're not sure if this is how their scallops always are served, of if we just got a mushy order. Overall the food and service was great and we will be back!

UPDATE: My first review from nearly 10 years ago left this restaurant wanting! But baby, when I…read moretell you time is a healer, I'm talking about Waterman's. We had a party of 10. I was surprised that we were able to get reservations for the same day, but we were. Everything was lovely! Check-in was great, the service was great, the food was served hot and delicious, the billing (5 couples) was handled well, even the time-delayed order for a couple that arrived late was handled well. Waterman's is more than just hype, it's the real deal! 10 out of 10!

Barr dwells said they crush 1000 on a busy weekend. Really Fresh and tasty. The rose was also light and fruity. Service- Deanna was super accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Drinks and food came out quickly and all the staff we interacted with was super helpful. They are busy and know how to handle it. Space- beachy and casual. Inside and outside bar. Two host stations. Covered patio seating, indoor dining room and bar seating. Bar seating is first come first serve. And, they have free valet parking. But make sure you tip these guys. They are super quick and even running around making sure folks get their card quickly.

I always say I'm going to branch out and get French toast or Pancakes but I can't never say no to the savory bacon and cheddar grits, or the fluffy scrambled eggs and biscuit that comes with the Little Cedar breakfast platter. It always pairs nicely with the Campfire Smores Latte which I highly recommend. My husband loves the Biscuits and Gravy. Prices are on point for the quality and service. So worth the visit, support the farms you drive by on your way too!

I was surprised I love this place as much as I did…read more They had a pretty good bourbon selection, which is always right up my alley. Their steak is cooked very well, their sliders are actually amazing, and I don't think a soda ever got too low on me. Both waitresses I had were amazing. I say both because I had to go back to make sure it was good as it was the first time. And it was!

I have been delivered to Brazino Heaven!…read more I have been to Costa Brava Spain, Porto and Nazare Portugal (I'm not bragging - it's context), and I just had The Best Branzino I've ever eaten. I had mine pan seared -OMG! Topped with chimichurri and seared vegetable medley w a An African secret sauce in the side - unbelievable. This is what makes Pacifica my fave on the oceanfront (tourists - your welcome). Make the trip to Pacifica Ave and 34 (?), you'll be happy you did. Also try the chocolate blended drink - if you like White Russians and espresso martinis!

Ambiance: Very pretty and modern. Love the laid back vibes and atmosphere…read more Service: Our waiter was quick and polite. I asked him for a drink recommendation and he was quick and accurate in terms of recommending drinks he thinks I would like Drinks: Pretty good. The Negroni wasn't too bitter and had a good taste to it. I asked the waiter for a drink that was refreshing but not too sweet. He recommended the Lucille which was spot on. Food: This is where I was disappointed. Happy we went during happy hour because none of the food was worth full price. The chicharrones looked like store bought pork rinds and tasted like it too. The potstickers tasted like the frozen ones you get from the grocery store. The shrimp ceviche was essentially tasteless. Once the jalapeño ice cream melted, it tasted a little better but I wish they had served it with more onions and lime to give it more flavor. The goat cheese and olive was good but nothing special. I wish they gave us more bread REPLY TO BUSINESS OWNER: WOW, that was an extremely unprofessional reply. None of the cocktails we ordered were vodka redbull. Thanks for replying and letting me know to never return!

Had a wonderful dinner here. Modern yet casual atmosphere…read more Evan s service was attentive and courteous. Delicious pasta, tasty pizza especially liked the homemade pizza sauce, that shellfish chowder was the best I ever had. Good wine selection. The cocktails they had was on the sweeter side, which is I'm not a big fan of, but I'm sure many others will enjoy. Reasonably priced with good portions size. Street parking available. Definitely recommend!

Luckily they had a few open seats at the pizza bar and jumped on it. The restaurant was bright, modern and clean. Service was spot on. To start off we order an eggplant dish which was crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. I ordered the chicken Parmigiana super flavorful and delicious. My husband ordered fried flounder with orzo. Fish was flaky and creamy orzo and cooked to perfection. Truly enjoyed our meal.

I wanted to sop up every bit of the sauce but my stomach disagreed.

I simply do not know where to begin with the most amazing time I've ever had at any restaurant in…read moremy entire life. I brought a party of 5 to finally partake in the culinary excellence that Eurasia has to offer. As a collective we ordered- STEAK N EGGS w/ no egg : such depth in all aspects of every bite. The polenta and steak were cooked with absolute precision. PEANUT CHICKEN WINGS : probably my absolute favorite of the entire spread. The tartness of the peanut butter was a very pleasant surprise. I would absolutely purchase a jar of the sauce alone. CRAB RANGOON FLATBREAD : an elevated version of a favorite take out additive. Sauce to ingredient ratio was to die for! GREEN GODDESS & MANGO SALAD : this salad was dressed to perfection, allowing all items to shine in its each individual way. CHILI CRUNCH TUNA POKE : I mean you quite literally will explode with satisfaction with every bite. The freshness and variety of flavor / texture is impeccable. FRIED RICE W/EGG ON SIDE : you can absolutely distinguish that whoever is on the line preparing your fried rice is doing so with the experience in mind. The preparation of the shrimp, the array of colored FRESH vegetables, and the rice itself. DIRTY MARTINI FETTUCINE PASTA : a blue cheese olive dirty martini is my all time favorite drink so lo and behold, there was a pasta created by its existence. The block of blue cheese down to the plethora of capers, absolute chefs kiss. BBQ DUCK : honestly if this was all I ordered , I would be more than satisfied. This item was accompanied by the most decadent Mac & Cheese , a perfected bowl of collard greens, and the pickled mountain of cabbage. STRAWBERRY CRUMB CRÈME BRÛLÉE : for the most part , I tend to stray away from a crème brûlée due to the lack of creativity. HOWEVER, the strawberry crunch crumbs and that dream of a sugar crust. I could clear a couple plates of this. PASSIONFRUIT & PANDAN TART : this hit every note of a well rounded dessert. The passionfruit was so tart with a subtle sourness that aided the coconut shortbread cookie. I would like to shout out our waitress Fantasia for an amazing service that evening by ensuring the plates never stopped coming, drinks stayed full, and any requests satisfied. As well as Chef Braedon for coming out to introduce himself and explain the magic he placed on our table. My friends and I will most definitely be back.
