We decided to enjoy a late lunch--or perhaps an early dinner, depending upon your perspective--at…read moreThe Atlantic on Pacific, located along Pacific Avenue at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. One piece of advice: arrive a little before Happy Hour begins at 3:00 p.m. If you wait until then, you'll likely find yourself several people deep in line. Don't let that discourage you. Embrace it, because once you're seated you'll quickly discover that the wait was well worth it. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices--especially during Happy Hour--are outstanding. The Atlantic specializes in oysters, and their Happy Hour runs daily from 3:00-6:00 p.m., including weekends. We began with a Chopped Caesar Salad ($9). Every ingredient was crisp, fresh, and flavorful--a simple dish executed exactly as it should be. Next came the oysters: a dozen Rockefeller and a dozen Pacific. The Rockefeller oysters were everything you would expect from this classic preparation--rich, savory, and baked beautifully. The Pacific oysters, however, completely stole the show. Each oyster was topped with a delicious combination of chorizo sausage, pepper jack cheese, and seasonings before being baked to perfection. They were bold, flavorful, and easily my favorite item of the afternoon. I also ordered the Double Stack Cheeseburger ($7), and what a terrific value. The burger arrived piping hot, loaded with melted cheese, and accompanied by a generous serving of crispy fries. It's hard to imagine finding a better burger at that price anywhere along the Oceanfront. My wife ordered the pork, shrimp, and kimchi dumplings served with a chili crunch and ponzu sauce that tied the entire dish together beautifully. She jokingly threatened to drink the remaining sauce after finishing the dumplings (she didn't), but she did convince me to dip one of my fries into it. She was absolutely right--it was fantastic. In fact, I now regret turning down the dumpling she generously offered me. Part of the fun of dining here is watching Shuck-Master Slim work. He's not only remarkably skilled but entertaining as well, adding a little personality to an already enjoyable experience. From the fresh seafood to the outstanding value and friendly atmosphere, this was another memorable visit to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. If you haven't been to The Atlantic on Pacific, I highly recommend adding it to your list. You'll be glad you did, and you can rest assured that you're helping support one of our outstanding local restaurants.

A special shoutout to our waitress, Nikki, who was amazing. We had several substitutions, sides, and food allergies within our group, and what could have easily turned into incorrect orders was handled perfectly.

Highly recommend trying the fried chicken, shrimp and crab omelette, and the home fries. Everything was flavorful and prepared perfectly.

Our dining experience took about an hour and a half, but again, it was very busy. The food here was fantastic! The menu has great options, there is something for everyone. We had a hard time narrowing down what we wanted, but this gives us an excuse to come back soon! The portion sizes are pretty good, and the quality of food is amazing! The crab stuffed shrimp was something I never knew I needed, but possibly one of the best combinations I've had! The vibes in here are warm, relaxed, and trendy. This would be a great spot for a date, dining with friends, or even bringing the whole family. The music was also a vibe. I think coming here at sunset would be fantastic, with waterside views!

Also try the chocolate blended drink - if you like White Russians and espresso martinis!

I also tried to order a French 1605, and while they didn't end up having all the ingredients, the bartender was still completely game to make something off-menu and clearly knew their spirits well. Always appreciate a bartender who actually understands balance and flavor instead of just reading recipes off a card. We also ordered the deviled quail eggs, bulgogi lettuce wraps, and potstickers. Everything was good, though our other table ended up being ready way faster than expected, so we had to take most of it to go. One small PSA: the menu calls them "jumbo" quail eggs, but quail eggs are tiny creatures of nature to begin with, so don't walk in expecting chicken egg-sized deviled eggs.

The entire staff from hostess to server to food runner all went out of their way to welcome our child. They gave crayons, came by to say hello, and made funny faces. We are used to the normal accommodation of children (which we expect, we know nobody finds our child as cute as we do), but this was the first time everyone seemed elated to have a toddler dining in. We were checked on frequently by many staff members, which is indicative of a true team. The restaurant interior is bright and clean. It gives a flair of sophistication without being too formal. The restaurant was busy for a Saturday evening, but we were able to get a reservation earlier that afternoon with no problem. Our party shared a combination of happy hour appetizers and full dinner entrees. The dishes were innovative and unique, and tasted amazing. The mussels in jalapeño cream were particularly delicious and something I want to return for. After dinner, we opted to take the pumpkin cheesecake home. We were pleasantly surprised to find when we arrived home that they had packed a bag of ice to keep the dessert cold on the drive home. Truly just next level service and amazing attention to detail.
