Two story shore restaurant The seating areas on both floors are comfortable. The cocktails are tasty. Some of the menu items are ambitious. For example, the Scallops with Risotto and Corn had good texture but lacked flavor. The service was attentive. There was a 3.5% service charge for credit cards. read more

Here's a refined, "elite" Yelp review that also subtly reflects the photo: If you're looking for a spot that nails both presentation and flavor, Atlantic House is absolutely worth the trip. We ordered the fish tacos, birria tacos, and kettle-style potato chips--and every plate came out looking as good as it tasted. The fish tacos were beautifully assembled, piled high with crisp, fresh slaw that added the perfect crunch to the tender, flaky fish underneath. Light, clean, and balanced. The birria tacos were the star of the table. Rich, deeply seasoned meat tucked into perfectly griddled shells, served with a savory dipping broth that takes each bite to another level. Messy in the best way possible--and completely worth it. Even the kettle-style potato chips stood out. Thick-cut, golden, and topped with just the right amount of flavor to make them more than just a side--they held their own next to the tacos. The overall experience ties everything together: polished yet relaxed atmosphere, attentive service, and dishes that clearly have intention behind them. It's the kind of place where you can tell care is put into both the food and the experience. Atlantic House isn't just a good meal--it's a spot you'll want to come back to, and one I'd recommend without hesitation. read more

The Atlantic House is always so tasty! The Chicken Vodka Parm was a special, but I wish it was on the menu year round! It is my favorite foods, so I was so excited to see it on the menu. The vodka sauce was so tasty. The chicken was cooked perfectly and I was given a good portion, which I then had leftovers for two days! The service here is always amazing and everyone is so accommodating and friendly. I am always looking forward to the next time I go here! read more

Terrible experience. Server was attentive when we sat down, took our orders, but never checked in after that. We sat there for 40 minutes as he passed and served to guests who came after us. We finally got up to walk over to him since we couldn't get his attention. We asked about our food and he made a snide comment that it was cooking. We asked to pay and he tried to excuse himself that he was one person. He pulled up our order on the screen and it was obvious it was never sent to the kitchen. He told us just to leave and we left. No apologies or attempts to correct it just attitude and rudeness. I contacted the restaurant directly on their website and have not even received a reply. read more

Came here after a 9 mile MTB trail ride at Hartshorne Woods Park. The yelp reviews looked good, and we were able to make reservations on Open Table. When we got there, as I walked in, I was filled with amazement. The decor of this place was great. Exposed brick walls, cool furniture. We were seated upstairs. Seems we entered this town during the off season (03012025). My buddy ordered this steak dish for the table. Small pieces of steak with a crispy onion topping. They were full of flavor and hard to share among four hungry dudes. I ordered the double smashed burger. It came with these great brown crispy fries. So much fries! That's the way to do it. The smash burger tasted amazing. The bun seemed lightly toasted. The service was great. Two waiters took care of our needs. Whenever in the area will come again. read more

Service - Sat at the bar. Server was good. Immediately attentive, presented several options for drinks and made sure everything was set up right and you had what you needed. Ambiance - Nice set up. Pretty chill comfortable.. Maybe a tad noisy. Sound travels in there so you can hear almost every conversation taking place. Food - lost points! Got the pork chop. I was starving, so if it was ok it would have been great... However it was extremely salty as if to cover up bad meat. And overcooked on certain parts. Would not order that again. read more

Been here a few times and I always walk out very satisfied when I'm finished. I would recommend the pot of clams - the clams are big and the broth and bread can turn this into a full meal. I got the lobster roll on special on my last trip. I'm always a little let down by lobster rolls as they typically are small and leave me wanting more. The lobster roll here was perfection and very well portioned. Sitting upstairs next to the open windows was a great touch. read more

Stopped by Atlantic House while in the area and it was a nice experience. On a nice summers day the second floor seating with the windows opened out is quite refreshing and a vibe. The menu seems solid American. For apps we got the fried cheese curds and it was great! The breading was just right and not too much. You can't really mess up cheese curds. The chipotle sauce is a good combo to pair it with. For mains we got the crab cake sandwich which I thought was tasty but it broke apart too easily. If the texture was more firm it would be easier to eat. Nevertheless a good meal. We also got the fried buffalo chicken wrap which we thought was better of the two. Both mains came with a side of salad and this is where it went from a good meal to ok. The salad was drenched in salad dressing, it was like the whole bottle was used. I recommend you ask for dressing on the side. The service was slow. It was practically a one man team. And the food came out longer than expected despite the limited numbers of guests. Overall I still would recommend coming here to dine because the flavor of the food overall was above average. read more

Amazing views, great atmosphere, friendly staff, clean restaurant, reasonably priced food! The rooftop is a beautiful unique feature for this area as a local. Although the food took a little while to come out, it was fresh when it did and was so worth the wait. We got the spicy rigatoni and replaced the sausage with chicken instead and pork chop. 10/10 recommend! read more

I had high hopes for this spot given the location and beautiful decor. However, the food fell short of expectations--the presentation was lacking, and the dishes were bland and tasteless.

An excellent meal, well presented, timely served by friendly wait staff. I started with an Irish margarita which was generous and tasty. We led with Aurelia's salad which was shareable and fresh- candied pecans and raisin's added to the appeal. My orange honey glazed salmon was very good, over a brown rice, red quinoa accompaniment. The wasabi pea puree could have been a bit spicier. My partner's pork chop was cooked to perfection, but a tad salty to her taste. The bite she shared with me was excellent. read more

Atlantic House is such a great little spot along First Ave in Atlantic Highlands! The interior is cute with a nautical themed that feels very modern and upscale. Despite the upscale feel, you won't feel out of place dressed casually. The service is good here, with Matt and Josh especially always being great! The food is great too, and the specials are always delicious, ensuring that there is always something new to try. The boneless wings used to be on the main menu, but were back as a special on this visit. They are delicious with the buffalo sauce on them. For my dinner, I ordered the pot of clams. There were so many clams, at least two dozen probably, which definitely made it worth it! At the bottom there is a sauce with gnocchi, sausage (?), and a thick cut bacon I believe, which was so good. This is my second time ordering the pot of clams and I would definitely get it again next time. read more

A good friend and I went here a few weeks ago for a girls night dinner. It was such a cozy spot with great service and good food. I was amazed by the pear martini. I had two !! We also had some fried calamari to start and it was very very fresh. We ordered the chicken avocado sandwich and it was also amazing!! We ended with a dessert that was also amazing !! All in all, I'd come here again !! I'd only like to see the prices change. It seemed a bit over priced for what it was. read more

This was a very pleasant end to the week. The Millennial Chum and I ended up here for a quasi-dinner last Friday night, at her recommendation. I've passed through Atlantic Highlands before (I think mostly en route to Sandy Hook), but this was my first time in the downtown area. We found street parking about a block or two away pretty quickly, and were immediately seated near the door upon entering despite not having a reservation (to be fair, it was more high-top, informal seating in the bar area, which tends to fill up after the interior dining area does, but still). Huge points in their favor - as we were being seated, the hostess gave us directions to the bathroom. That is literally the first time I've encountered that, and it's a great idea. I don't know why other places don't implement that immediately so you don't have customers awkwardly wandering around looking for it, momentarily distracting other staff for assistance. I wasn't too hungry, having accidentally eaten some heavy Mexican food earlier in the day, so we opted for nothing but apps - cheese curds, thai chili chicken wings and brussels sprouts. I concentrated almost exclusively on the curds, though i sampled one or two wings and thought they were fine (I'm not a huge wing person so don't rely too heavily on me in that regard - love eating meat off ribs, hate eating meat off wings). The curds were very good. I don't know that I've sampled a ton of them and honestly most were probably consumed at a Chili's, but like almost any bar app, it usually comes down to how heavy they are on the frying. These were fried perfectly, not overdone, and weren't greasy as a result. The Millennial Chum was perfectly content on the other side of the table, munching happily on the brussels. I've learned through time and experience that she can be pretty high maintenance when it comes to that particular appetizer, so if she's signing off on them, that's a solid endorsement. It seemed important to sample a naughty beverage to usher in the weekend, and I went with the strawberry mule. Delicious, and I ended up having a second one. Perfect mix of flavor with the zest of ginger beer. I really don't understand why mules aren't always flavored, but they can be dangerous. These were definitely on the boozier side, but thankfully I wasn't the one driving for a while. Also in a full circle moment? Despite basically toddling to the bathroom, I located it immediately with no assistance because we'd been given those directions. I really can't get over that and don't want to. We both really liked our waiter, who was very nice and attentive. I don't recall any service issues or long wait times for anything (though I find time can be a relative concept once you've consumed at least one strong cocktail). He kind of reminded me of Jamie from the Progressive commercials. And despite it being Friday evening down the shore with a solid crowd in there, the acoustics were excellent in the sense that we never had an issue hearing each other, etc. Very solid experience, and at the very least I'm coming back for a strawberry mule reunion. read more

If you want a more mature and reserved crowd, with a full bar, and specific brands of whiskey, then this place could be a nice choice. I came here in winter on a Friday night around 8:00pm with a reservation and they had a full house. The ambiance is rustic and modern, with low lighting. There is upstairs seating, bar seating, tabletops and half booth and tables. Our server was knowledgeable and was able to recommend drinks and items off their menu for us since it was our first visit. Now for the food. Okay so I felt the dishes We tried were a tad bit heavy on the salt. Our appetizer was "pot of clams" and the broth was salty and spicy, the clams were fresh so that helped. Next, the main courses; we had the "Grilled Bone-in Chop". The description made us think of 'comfort food' since it served with turnip mashed potatoes, spiced Apple chutney so we gave it a try. The Chutney was okay, but the mashed potatoes could have had a hint of cheese to contrast with the pork chop and apple flavors. We ordered the warm brownie for dessert and it was average. We decided to give this place a shot for a date night and it was a new location for us, but the salty dishes plus the higher prices are a reason for us to keep searching Yelp. read more

Wanted to try a new place came to Yelp & found this gem. The drinks were well poured but the food was amazing. Got the Kale salad & taco specials that were made to perfection.

My girlfriend and I were invited by her folks to join them, that they had had such a good time, they wanted to go again. They had gone the night before. They didn't even wait 24 hours to return. That's how good it is. We shared nachos that I ate which was unusual for me. They were sensational. We also had the steak bites. A+. They also ordered the kettle chips, which had a blue cheese fondue that I didn't try, but I heard they were good, too. I was tempted to get the fish tacos, but I decided to go for a safer bet and get the chicken sandwich. I just asked for no cheese. Y'all. It was the absolute best fried chicken sandwich I have ever had. I cannot stress to you enough how friggin' incredible it was. It was fried so crisp, but light. The chicken was super flavorful. It had coleslaw, which I hate, and I still loved it. It was gone in three minutes. It didn't stand a chance. The only complaint I have is that I loved it too much, I don't want to try anything else because I'm too busy wanting this chicken sandwich. No photo available 'cause I devoured that sh**. read more

Kinda expected more from this place. Nothing g special. Wish happy hour specials was more inviting.

We finally had the chance to visit this restaurant on Friday night (off season). Parked right on the street with no issues. We did make a reservation, even though not mandatory, we were glad we did because it was a little busy, not crowded and we sat at a standard table, not a tabletop. The tabletops were in the middle of the floor (on both 1st & 2nd floor) and we preferred the standard table. When you enter on the 1st floor, there is a bar with seating around the room and a few tabletops. We were led upstairs where there was another small bar and standard tables and tabletops. I will note that the tables and chairs for the standard tables were that kind of metal Warehouse feel. It does have a nice open feel with all the windows (which were closed due to being in October). When the hostess sat us, it took about 5-6 minutes for someone to greet us and it was a man (Sorry don't remember his name and on the check was the name Emily) and he asked us if anybody got to us yet and we told him no and he said I'll take care of you. Which he did!.... there was another waitress who attended to a few other tables directly next to us who didn't even acknowledge us for the entire stay we were there, which I thought was a little unprofessional, but it didn't affect our experience. He was very attentive and we were very happy with his service! We started with the coconut shrimp, which was crunchy, delicious and the Thai chili sauce gave an nice kick. I ordered the burger and fries and my husband ordered the double smashburger. Both burgers were absolutely delicious! Very nice thickness and they melted in your mouth with the brioche bun. They both came with fries. Off of a special menu, I ordered the PB& J Skrewball old fashioned- which I ended up having two of them because it was so smooth and delicious made by our server!!! My husband ordered the Peanut Butter Cup martini and he had two of them and he said they were strong and delicious, also made by our server. As "dessert", my husband also ordered a standard old fashioned which he said was outstanding! Overall, I'm glad we visited this location and I would recommend the burgers 100%. I'm sure in peak season this place is probably standing room only and the parking is difficult but we live in the area so we waited until after the summer was over . read more

After growing up in Atlantic Highlands, this is the best restaurant addition in 27 years! It has the best spicy marg in town (and in Monmouth county in my opinion). We have been here twice now and have tried shishito peppers, the house kettle chips (which have bleu cheese fondue), the fish tacos and the (shocker - gluten free!) brownie - and NONE disappoint. I cannot wait to come back and try the steak bites as well as the fish of the day. The decor is a huge upgrade from the previous tennant, Memphis Pig Out, and transports you to a chic New England restaurant. The vibe is cool for drinks or dinner. The rooftop has a great view of 1st Ave and the 2nd floor windows open up to a breezy open area. They have TVs as well to watch any sport. The Atlantic House is definitely the gem that Atlantic Highlands was missing! read more

I've been visiting family in Atlantic Highlands since I was a kid and there has never been anything like Atlantic House. It's a cute, modern, open air restaurant and bar that was an necessary addition to Atlantic Highlands. I have been here twice now, first coming with my aunt and cousin the first time and then again with my cousin and her friends the second time. Both times I ordered the mango jalapeño rita which was a spicy & sweet margarita concoction with a mango puree. We have tried several food items including the battered cod fish tacos, shishito peppers, house kettle chips with blue cheese fondue, as well as the gluten free brownie. Everything was delicious. I really want to come back and try the burger next time. Both times we sat in the upstairs sections. The first visit, we were on the upstairs balcony. It was a beautiful summer evening so it was a great spot to enjoy drinks and appetizers with a view of the quaint 1st Ave of Atlantic Highlands. The next visit was more crowded but an equally nice evening so we grabbed spots at the upstairs bar. Since it was so nice out, the doors and windows to the upstairs and balcony were all opened which made for a nice breezy atmosphere. There are lots of TVs upstairs as well which would make it perfect for watching a game. There are a number of weekly specials as well. Happy Hour is Tuesday-Friday from 4pm-7pm and includes $2 off all draft beers, $4 well drinks, and $5 wines. Tuesday's special of course is Taco Tuesdays with half off all tacos & $5 margaritas. Wednesday you can get a burger and 16oz draft beer for $15. Thursday offers half price cheese and $5 house wine. And during Sunday brunch, they have $3 Miller Lite & Yuengling on draft, $4 mimosas & $5 Bloody Mary's. Now those are brunch drink prices that I can get behind. Just a note that they're closed Mondays. I especially love the style of the restaurant. It's a modern, beauty look and nothing I've ever seen before in Atlantic Highlands. Whoever designed the space did an amazing job. I'd definitely come here more often if I had the opportunity and will make a point to stop by whenever I'm in the area. read more

Came into this beautiful restaurant over the July 4th weekend. Saw this place being built months prior and was excited to see what they would be offering. The restaurant is beautiful, tasteful with modern accents and trendy flare. The upstairs has an open deck, but I didn't get a chance to go up there. The place was busy but we were able to get a 4-top relatively quick. I do wish the tables were a bit bigger because we ordered a spread and didn't have any room to spare. The service was good, though we waited a bit for our drinks. Our appetizers showed up before our drinks. The food is excellent, the steak bites were delicious and juicy, my party wanted more onions but I thought it was fine. The wings were something else, smokey and crisp and the blue cheese was creamy too. The kettle chips were some of the best, would have liked them more tossed in the sauce as the top had it all. The pretzel sticks were good and that mustard was superb. So creamy and tangy. But 4 sticks? C'mon. The scotch egg was good, I wanted more seasoning on the sausage and a bigger egg. Everything is the right size so you don't fill up before the entree. Moving on to entrees, the majority of the group ordered burgers as the other selections weren't too appealing to us. The burgers looked juicy and were well seasoned, cooked to their requested temp and the fries were crispy and airy. We ordered one beyond meat burger and yes, it tastes like beef. Incredible. I ordered the Coq Au Vin and I have to say I was a bit let down. I expected some more punchy flavors. The wine reduction didn't really come out and chicken needed more seasoning. The skin wasn't crispy either. Overall, it's worth stopping in for the variety of the menu as they pull from various cuisines. The drinks and apps were the stars here. The service needs to work on their timing but it is the opening week and I'll come back in a few months when they have it more figured out. read more
