My experience was TOP TIER. we got the fried shrimp, baked scallops, and the roasted beet salad. Eliza made us the best drinks ever we are so happy with this experience. 10/10 thanks Eliza!!! read more

We decided to enjoy a late lunch--or perhaps an early dinner, depending upon your perspective--at The 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. read more

Popped in in a Saturday night and we were lucky enough to get four seats at the bar rather than waiting 30 minutes for a table. We started with drinks and everyone enjoyed their cocktails and wine selection. Next were the starters of peel and eat shrimp and a selection of oysters. The shrimp were a good size and cooked to perfection. They came with drawn butter, cocktail sauce and extra horseradish on the side. My main was the roasted beet salad which was plentiful and flavorful. The addition of a fried goat cheese ball on the side was delicious. Others enjoyed hush puppies, lobster roll, and sashimi. All were enjoyed with rave reviews. The restaurant is a nice size, not too big and not too small. The noise level was decent as we could still have a conversation even at the bar. read more

Food was amazing! The fried shrimp were a great size and perfectly crispy on the outside while staying tender inside. Their sauce was yummy. The branzino was a good size, and the crab dip was phenomenal. The baked oysters were top tier, and the chicken sandwich was good, though I wish it had a little more chicken. Our waiter (a slim man) lacked manners when clearing our dishes and forgot to put in part of our order, which was disappointing. However, the ambiance was so cute and really added to the overall experience. We will be back for the shrimp and chicken sandwich!! read more

This past weekend my in laws were in town. We were on the boardwalk and they wanted oysters... I said say less! I had been to The Atlantic years ago and had a great time. I think this time was even better! We arrived around 230 on a Saturday, lucky for us happy hour started at 3 and we had a 30 minute wait for 6 people. Literally perfect timing because no one was waiting before us and about 10-20 minutes later the waiting area became packed for that 3 o clock happy hour. Side note: happy hour is from 3-7, 7 days a week! The service was phenomenal, the whole staff was so nice and accommodating. While we waited for our table, we were able to order a cocktail from one of the waitresses. We also had a baby with a stroller and they made sure we had plenty of room once we were seated at our table. The food was amazing, I'm a fan of cooked oyster but i decided to be a little spontaneous and try them raw. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and clean tasting these oysters were. It reminded me of eating sashimi. My wife and father in law had the lobster rolls, they both loved them! My son had the double cheeseburger from the happy hour menu, literally cannot beat this deal. $6 double cheeseburger with fries on the boardwalk is unimaginable lol. I had the Nashville hot chicken, which was good but maybe could've used a little more flavor. But the quality of the sandwich as a whole was spot on. I really don't have any complaints, this was the highlight of our day. My in laws live in Wisconsin but they travel a bunch and they said that these oysters were some of the best they had ever had. They would never see 1$ oysters where they live, so I'm glad we were able to come here and create this memory together. If you've ever debated whether taking the trip to the strip is worth it, it is! Definitely check this place out! read more

Finally back at the Atlantic, and it's still the best happy hour in Virginia Beach. There was a wait, but there's an area where you can sit and you can order drinks from the happy hour menu while waiting for your table. Oysters were just as good as last time. Service was quick and friendly. Oh, and I tried the pork, shrimp, and kimchi dumplings, and that was the bomb! read more

Another amazing experience at The Atlantic with my friends. I've now gone 2 times within a month's time frame lol. That's how addicted I'm becoming. Unless you park in public parking and walk to the restaurant their parking is Valet only. It's customary to tip a few dollars when dropping off your vehicle and when you're done with your meal and retrieving your vehicle. Be mindful that you more than likely will have a wait. Each time I've come there has been a wait of 20+ minutes to be seated. Each time we ended up finding space at the bar eventually and enjoyed our night there. The bartenders are amazing and very personable. I have gotten Sangria both times and each time they hit! The fried shrimp like I said before in another review is amazing. But the only downfall is you only get 3 shrimp for $6! Overall a part of me doesn't want to share how amazing this hidden gem is but the other part of me wants to shout from rooftop all about my new favorite spot. read more

Well we went early before happy hour had a beet salad and calamari which was one of the Bette to have had in a long time crispy, great aioli, just so good once happy hour hit we killed some oysters baked and raw...so good out waiters were awesome always asking what we needed drinks were great. At 3 place gets packed and we were there on a Wednesday and I know why very good. Inside is very nicely decorated not loud easy to talk...great first date place. read more

Their logo says " it's worth the wait" , and they are right! I had a half dozen oysters on the half shell as a starter. Some of the freshest and tastiest I have ever had. They come with a selection of house made hot sauces as well as traditional cocktail. I also had the ham and pimento biscuits which are à la carte but were exceptional and something I never had before. I also had a chorizo and crab empanada and hush puppies. Everything was served hot ( except oysters which were chilled). The empanadas were something I never had before as well. The place is large and loud and the service a bit slow due to the large crowds but, as they say, it's worth the wait read more

Happy Hour specials were phenomenal and all were delicious. Our service was incredible considering the crowd thanks Douglas! Food came out accurately and quick. The place was loud with everyone enjoying themselves- great vibes! We enjoyed our three different HH oysters, so fresh and the ingredients so flavorful. We had Oysters Rock, Chesapeake and Garlic butter roasted. Fried pickles were really good as was the pimento cheese with bacon jam and pickled red onions served with seasoned saltines. The HH double grilled cheese burger was so juicy and delish. We finished with their house made sorbet, guava flavored and house made ice cream bowls in lemon Cheescake flavor and the mint chocolate chip was the best. These are all served as small plates and satisfied three of us. Order and share! Highly recommend and will be back again next visit. read more

While we sadly missed their Mon-Sun 3-6pm happy hour.... We had the most wonderful, entertaining and educational time at the Oyster Bar for dinner. If you enjoy Oysters, there is an Oyster Sommelier, Slim, you will not want to miss. His knowledge was so fascinatingly educational you left feeling you should have paid for the show. We were offered Oysters from all over the US and if you catch them on the right day, the World. I ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich, and let's be clear...this is an extremely spicy slider. Not a sandwich. If you are hungry and not an Oyster/Seafood fan. You might be leaving hungry. The drinks were reasonably priced and the atmosphere at the Oyster Bar can not be beat. Service was fantastic. We can't wait to visit again and again. read more

I cannot believe that I've never written a review for The Atlantic. I have visited this restaurant for years, and I have never had a bad experience. For low-key, easy breezy seafood bites and drinks, The Atlantic is my go-to on the Oceanfront. Although the food is delicious, I will also say that the service is always impeccable. The restaurant has a very generous 7 days a week happy hour where you can get a nice sample of what they have to offer. Note, if you go for happy hour, it is best to arrive super early to get a spot at the bar because the place will fill up very fast. For seafood bites, I highly recommend the Oysters Rockefeller, steamed mussels (OMG, the wine sauce/broth is out of this world delicious), and the AMAZING hushpuppies. Also, the restaurant has free parking. Since it's a valet service, remember to bring some cash to tip the folks in valet. read more

We went to The Atlantic for my birthday dinner last weekend. We live in the area so we're able to walk to this restaurant, but keep in mind that if you are driving in the parking is pretty limited. This is especially important to note on the weekend. The vibe of this place is pretty casual, laid-back but elevated. A great atmosphere for a variety of occasions- if you are looking for something super formal, probably would skip. We started off with a variety of appetizers- the crab dip, whipped goat cheese, and a variety of oysters (they have a ton to choose from). The crab dip was some of the best I have tasted, the goat cheese was tangy (I can see this not being for everybody but if you enjoy goat cheese you'll like this) and the oysters were magnificent! You get quite a variety of sauces to try with them (various hot sauces, cocktail sauce, horseradish) and we enjoyed trying them all. As for entrees, our party got the fried chicken sandwich, burger, baked scallops, and the salmon. Everyone who got the fried chicken sandwich enjoyed it (the fries are out of this world! Perfectly fried and battered), the burger was enjoyed by my boyfriend, and I really really enjoyed my salmon (the creamed spinach potatoes were absolutely delicious and my favorite part of the meal- the salmon was perfectly seasoned and cooked). However, those who got the baked scallops were not as impressed- the presentation is neat (it comes in a shell) but the portion was rather small and cheese overwhelmed the dish per their report. It sure looked pretty, though! Since it was my birthday, I got a free brownie sundae with ice cream. I swapped the vanilla ice cream for coffee and it was the perfect ending to a nice meal! While our waiter was very nice, the service was very slow and we were not checked in on very often. The service was definitely the downside of the evening- it's possible that it isn't always like this, however. Just something to note. Overall; I really enjoyed this place and would consider coming back for a different occasion. read more

Listen, with the right server. This would have been amazing. Miranda was having a bad day. Just kinda miserable and wasn't happy or just didn't want to be there. Move it along girl and go find your happiness, this clearly ain't it. The reason I gave it five stars. The FOOD! Literally the best seafood/oysters. The ambiance is great and I finished everything I ordered. Got The Atlantic, Stuffed Lobster Shells, fried oysters, baked oysters, kids meals, the works. No FOOD items were bad. Check em out and avoid Miranda on a bad day. read more

Definitely recommend having a reservation! How packed this restaurant is crazy, you might be lucky to get a table walking in but there might be a long wait. Their happy hours are great. Front of the house service was great! As we waited for our party and table they served us drinks with no issue. Like the ambiance and the decor as we waited. Drinks were on point. Their oysters are great and delicious, clams wasn't it and their crab dip is definitely a must try. The peel and eat shrimp were a good addition to the appetizer as well. Just a heads up parking is valet as well. read more

This place is AMAZING!!!! We had done a mini vacation to see the Dancing with The Stars Live! Tour at the Dome in Virginia Beach. While looking for some good happy hours in the area (and there were many), I came across this one and it just sounded great. Had things on the menu that we usually don't see. It's a small plates type of place. My guest had the Caviar & Blinis ($16 - regular menu). She enjoyed them. It came with black caviar, and she realized that she prefers the red, however, enjoyed this appetizer that is usually not seen on menus. Oysters Rockefeller ($1 each min of 3 required) - sooo good. This was only my 2nd time having Oysters Rockefeller (first time was at The Hunt Room) and these were so much better. Oysters garlic & butter ($1 each min of 3 required) - they were good, but the Rockefeller were so much better. Fried Pickles with Ranch Dip ($6) - they were good. The Ranch dipping sauce complimented them well. They weren't overly salty or breaded. Pimento Cheese ($14 - special of the day) - very tasty. Had bacon jam on it which complimented it well. The crackers had old bay on them. Fried Oysters ($1 each min of 3 required) - My guest had these and she said they were ok but wouldn't order them again. Ice Cream and Sorbet is made in house and absolutely delicious. I had the mint chocolate chip Ice Cream and the Birthday Cake Ice Cream. Probably the best ice cream I have ever had. It's $5 a bowl and you can choose 2 flavors. My guest had the guava sorbet and that was very refreshing. Same price as the ice cream. You can also opt for one scoop for $2.50. We got the Burger ($6) from the happy hour menu which was with 2 patties, pickles, lettuce and American cheese. Came with fries on the side and a cup of ketchup. Delicious. The fries were cooked nice and seasoned just right. The burger was juicy and delicious. You could not beat the price for the quality and taste of the burger. Service - Oh my gosh was it amazing. Doug was so knowledgeable and friendly. Checked on us several times. Refilled our beverages when they were running low. Had friendly conversation with us. We couldn't have asked for better service. Atmosphere is very pleasant. Modern looking. Parking is via valet and it is free but remember to tip your runners, they definitely deserve it. If I could give 20 stars, they would get it. Absolutely loved this place. Next time in the area, this will for sure be my first stop. Only downside is no reservations for smaller groups, however, we had no issues, but we were here on 3/17/2026 (off peak time) read more

Oysters, scallops and crab cakes! The drinks were good. No beer on tap (only bottles and cans), and no local wines, but the margaritas were good and the food was hot and tasty. Fun outing with colleagues after work. Staff was friendly but not bothersome. Seated as soon as we arrived though it was a weeknight and off season. If you're looking for a spot to enjoy the evening and don't mind paying a bit higher price fore your meal (I spent about $80 for 2 drinks and 2 plates) this is a great spot. Oh and they have crème brûlée if that tickles you fancy! read more

One of our favorite (if not our favorite) eats during our visit to VB! We ordered oysters galore and were not disappointed! Our favorites were their raw oysters. The local ones to Virginia were actually our top picks! We also got a selection of their baked oysters. They're a great alternative if you're not the biggest fans of raw oysters. You have to try out their Old Bay Chili Butter Roasted ones -- so so good! My only note on the baked ones is depending on which toppings you chose, it could overpower the oyster. We're definitely stopping by for their happy hour the next time we're in town. You really can't beat their $1oysters deal! read more

The Atlantic - Baked Oysters - Seafood Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I started with the raw oysters, and they were exactly what you hope for when ordering them fresh. Clean, briny, and chilled just right, they had that crisp ocean flavour without any off notes. The accompaniments were simple and didn't get in the way, which I appreciated. For my main, I went with the baked scallops. They arrived with a lightly golden top and a rich, buttery aroma. The scallops themselves were tender and not overcooked, which can be tricky. The topping added just enough texture and flavour without overshadowing the natural sweetness of the seafood. The space has a coastal, easygoing feel that fits the menu well. It's polished without feeling stiff, making it comfortable whether you're there for a casual dinner or something a bit more special. The staff handled everything smoothly and kept things moving at a good pace. The Atlantic delivers well-prepared seafood in a setting that makes you want to linger a little longer. It's a spot worth revisiting if you're in Virginia Beach and in the mood for quality ocean fare. read more

If you take away anything from this review... stay away from the clam chowder. The Atlantic just made a new menu for dinner and I was really excited to hit the happy hour then go into dinner with my book club. Happy hour was fantastic as always - dinner was where I could not even finish my dish. The clam chowder was not only over seasoned it tasted weirdly like almond flour, clams, old bay seasoning, more salt, and honestly I don't know what else but it wasn't good. White wine clams were delicious but it needs to be in a wider pot. You can't reach the juice at the bottom of the pot for your garlic bread or dipping your clams until you eat most of the clams. I love the service and always have loved the ambiance. I'm glad they took off the lobster Mac because any one I spoke to thought it was terrible, but is the chowder going to be their new "most hated" dish... maybe? read more

We ended up experiencing Happy hour here twice on our most recent beach visit. On a Saturday and Thursday-very different as you can guess from a "busy/crowd" perspective. A 2 hour wait (1st come 1st serve -no rez) on Saturday for a table although we were able to grab Bar seats after a 1/2 hour wait. They do have free valet parking which was a nice touch. Smaller spot with a good amount of Bar seating and high top tables. Loud, upbeat (especially on Saturday) atmosphere. Tapas style/portion dishes and really all about the Oysters-How can you go wrong with $1 Oysters. I think we ordered most of the varieties-from raw to fried, Rock, Chesapeake and Pacific-all delicious! Calamari was exceptional-very light breading with the squid cooked just right. The Burger was a surprise hit-double patty and also came with fries for a Happy Hour $6-c'mon! Very tasty. Caesar salad was topped with white anchovies-as a lover of anchovies, this was a first try and elevated this salad in a big way. We tried a good amount of the dishes and enjoyed all. Cocktails-Margarita, Overcast and Southside hit the spot also. Service was excellent and upbeat despite the amount of customer traffic. Quite possibly the best or at least top Happy Hour spot at the Beach! Our only regret is not getting here on our many previous VA Beach visits. A must stop! read more

Well, I tried your restaurant again recently after having threats of my arm being broken if I didn't. So it looks like you have gotten rid of all the cunts who used to work there and have a decent staff now. Still, I think the drinks selection could be better. Food was good though. read more

We came here on a Monday night and were surprised at how busy it was! The restaurant isn't that big, but pretty much every single table and the bar was full. However, we were told if we could eat within a certain time we could be sat right away (due to upcoming reservations), which was fine with us. We came to take advantage of the happy hour specials. We ordered the $1 oysters and cod filet sandwiches as well as a cold fish dip served with crackers. Everything was fresh and delicious. I wish I remembered our servers name because he was excellent. He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. We will definitely be coming back here! read more

Our waiter, Mia, was very kind and knowledgeable. She guided us through the menu for the gluten free options. The salmon was so GOOD! I genuinely loved it, and it paired well with the quinoa. The lobster roll was pretty good but the fries were HEAVENLY. It was so good. The oyster were cooked well and had a great taste. I attached photos of the oysters but the aroma of the other dishes were too good and I got carried away, thus, no photos were taken. That being said, the oysters were given first which is why I remembered to take the photo, the oysters were still great. I also loved the ambience, it gives that classy beach feel! read more

We sat in the waiting area but ended up ordering from there, and our server was very attentive the entire time. Drinks were great, and you really can't beat the $1 oysters during happy hour (3-6 PM).

Yummy oysters . Rocafella oysters wee well seasoned and filling. Very dim lighting helped set the vibe nicely.

Have you ever had food so divine, you couldn't stop thinking about it after you left? Well that's the experience I had at The Atlantic. I stopped in on a Thursday for lunch around 1:30pm and I was seated as soon as I walked in. My server, Marcus, was very attentive and told me about the lunch and drinks specials. After looking over the menu, I decided on the Smoke and Mirrors Cocktail with the Hamachi Sashimi. I wanted the Blackened Swordfish Tacos that were on the Lunch Specials Menu but unfortunately they were out so he mentioned trying the Crab and Corn Tostada instead. He also said his favorite item was the Baked Scallops so I ordered that as well. The Hamachi Sashimi was delicate and fresh, I just wish the pieces were a tad bigger. The Crab and Corn Tostada was served chilled and was similar to the taste of elote. The crab meat was very plentiful and the flavors were delicious! The star of the show was definitely the Baked Scallops! OMG, the freshness and tenderness of the scallops paired with the creamy, togarashi aioli was absolute perfection. I literally scraped the shell until the very last bite. I will be returning to The Atlantic very soon. The atmosphere was very chill and relaxed and definitely a place for the locals. They do valet parking but I believe there is a small parking lot on the other side of the restaurant, there's also 2-hour parking right across the street. I highly recommend stopping in and trying out their food. You will not be disappointed!!! read more

My friends and I visited Virginia Beach for the weekend, and we decided to grab lunch at The Atlantic on Pacific, just a short walk from the boardwalk. They offer valet parking for the lot next to the restaurant, but we opted for street parking a block away. We had a reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant primarily serves tapas-style plates, so we ordered a variety to share--8 dishes total and 2 types of raw oysters. Service was friendly and quick, and the food came out at a good pace. My favorite dish was the baked scallop. Between the 6 of us, it was just enough to sample everything without feeling overly full, but we probably could've ordered a couple more dishes. Overall, it was a good experience, but if you're looking to really dig into seafood while at the beach, you may want to check out another spot with larger plates. read more

We loved the food at the Atlantic-- genuinely fantastic flavors and really creative dishes. Unfortunately the service really took away from the experience. We stay for an hour waiting for a table for 6 which we eventually got separated to sit so we can get to food and end the wait. Our server Heather M did not bother to look for the ticket we signed, instead chased us out to the parking lot stating that we did not sign the check. To prove ourselves innocent we had to go back to the restaurant to help her look for our signed copy. WHEN WE HELPED HER FIND OUR SIGNED COPY SHE DID NOT THANK OR APOLOGIZE FOR HER ACTIONS DESPITE A VERY GENEROUS TIP!!!! The whole experience was disappointing since it was our first visit. We will probably go back because the food was that good, but I really hope they elevate the staff experience to match the quality of the kitchen. read more

I stopped for a small bite and heard the oysters were really good so I ordered the roasted oysters. You get 6 ~ 3 garlic herb butter and 3 old bay. I really loved the old bay the best. I also ordered the crab hush puppies which were just ok flavor wise as the filling was overwhelming and I really didn't taste crab but I could see it throughout. I liked the decor that seemed to meet that beach theme (bright sea blue) and loved the open raw bar seating. The bar setup was nice and they had a nice selection of liquors. I sat at the bar and the bartender Bailey was absolutely amazing! Great customer service. She was friendly and made sure I was ok during my visit. If I return to VB, I would definitely come here for dinner or happy hour. read more

My Family and I decided to take a trip to Virginia Beach 2 days ago. We saw good reviews about The Atlantic restaurant so decided to try it. It appears that they do not take reservations so we had to do a walk in. There was already a lot of people there waiting to be seated, so we had to wait a little over 45 minutes before a table was available. Our server, Malik, was personable, professional, and very helpful in answering our questions about the dishes. We ordered several food items and a couple drinks from the menu. Our food came out within a reasonable timeframe. The fried oysters were bland by themselves, but with the sauce, they were really good. The hush puppies were just OK; not as flavorful as I imagined they would be. Also, there was an insufficient amount of crab. They were fantastic when eaten with the jalapeño though. The baked scallops were very flavorful, and the scallops were cooked perfectly. The combination of flavors in your mouth with the cheese on top made it a very good blend. The steamed mussels were also good. The mussels paired well with the wine sauce. The portion size for this dish was great. The accompanying bread made for great dipping into the sauce. The portion size for some items were small with the exception of the steamed mussels which had a great portion size. All dishes had great texture and consistency. We had a great time overall. read more
