The last time I was here I found it to be a little disappointing. My boyfriend ordered the steak and when he received it, it was on the cool side. For a $60+ steak In would expect it to be served hot. When we complained however it was taken off the bill. My fish was delicious

This is so far the best fine dining experience. From the moment you step in the front reception you are greeted with a smiling face. The moment you're ushered to your table you're treated like a VIP. Food is really good and is fresh you will taste it straight away, our waitress is very polite and attentive hard to fault if any. I would recommend this place. Food and staff deserves a 10 star rating if it's available.

Approximate cost: $130

A truly special venue! We came here for dinner with some friends to share a memorable night!

The service here is outstanding, with prompt service from our table waiter who was super attentive to us all night.
The food is indeed pricey, but you are not just paying for the food, but the experience of dinning in such an upmarket seafood specialising venue.
The decor and atmosphere was excellent from the earthy dark plates and crockery to the very iconic water/ocean theme of wall paper netting and rope lights to even a depth scale on the glassware! To top it off, there was live music during dinner and some perfect beats downstairs at the Den!

The experience was very good. It is an extremely palatial restaurant. You could very easily get lost in the cavernous surrounds. However, it is not cold and empty. The wait staff are extremely attentive and discrete. No loud showmanship or haughty impudence.
The food is very good too. Elegant and refined. My favourites were the Woodfired Whole Baby Snapper and Olive Oil Confit Ora King Salmon.
Would be good for a dinner date or business event.

this restaurant really is something special. Went for my Birthday, even got a signed card from Donovan (who we could see in the kitchen!). Food simply delicious, service overall was outstanding, however the wine wiater became a little busy by the end of the night and service for drinks dropped off a little, but overall a memorable night and a true food experience.

The Atlantic is a beautiful restaurant. My boyfriend took me here recently for my birthday. The atmosphere is romantic and lovely. The host and waitress were helpful and attentive. For starters, we both shared a plate of oysters. Usually, I enjoy oysters kilpatrick over natural. But not here! The oysters were so fresh, they needed no accompaniments! Absolutely beautiful. For mains, we both had steaks. They were cooked perfectly. After our mains, the waitress brought out a dessert with a candle in it as well as a birthday card, hand written by the manager, wishing me happy birthday. It was such a wonderful touch and I felt very special! Such a lovely place to go, the food, service and atmosphere are all great. Definitely cannot wait to return!

I went there for lunch with a group of people (12people) the food was fantastic and I had the grilled tuna which was cooked perfectly and so the seafood cocktail as a starter... The service was fantastic and I had a very good time there I would . definitely go back again.

Dinner here is a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant is vast, but diners don't really have a sens of it as the acoustics for talking are good. However, although the ambience is nice for a romantic dinner and the view is stunning, it's a little too dark for my own preference. Having said all that, the food and service are excellent. After bread and oil to start, I had a cocktail and my companion had a beer. Our entrees were Wood Fire Grilled Calamari (with wilted cucumber, harissa, dukkah, coriander), which was lovely. The calamari was perfectly cooked, tender, melt in the mouth and the accompaniment was lovely. My companion's Pork Belly was equally good. Mains were a whole Baby Snapper for me, with side of green beans/parmesan and almonds. My companion had a Wagyu Beef Cheek on mash with a Radicchio Salad. Everything was beautiful - a lovely tender cheek, delicious sides too. The dessert for my companion was Strawberry Shortcake - beautifully presented, with macarons, strawberries and icecream. A dessert really sounded lovely, but I had no room for it - Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich - it really would have been worth a try. Very nice coffee too. My only slight irritation (and again, only a personal preference) is that the waiting staff are a little too "unobtrusive" - to the point where they won't come to wait and take your order, or clear plates, or ask if you'd like enything else, if you're talking - they come by and go away again. So we did wait for longer than necessary for them to do things. Only a slight thing really. It's a lovely place.

If your entertaining the idea of dining here make sure you bring a fat wallet along. As expected for the area is incredibly pricey more so than we anticipated. We came here to celebrate my partners new promotion after being referred by one of his colleagues. Ambiance was nice and intimate and we found our waiter to be very knowledgeable and attentive which is fantastic considering the steep price points on the menu. Our salmon confit arrived fairly quickly and was quite tasty though I wasn't blown away unfortunately. I suppose the $40 cost had me expecting something really spectacular. Overall it's still quite nice for special occasions and we will probably come back again

Came here for a dinner and spent a lot..Would recommend only going once in a blue moon but the one time you go it will be worth it. Had a crab bisque with melon, was something i would of never had but after receiving it i was a great entree. Couldnt decide on whether to have the fresh seafood which was displayed or the meat which i had heard about. Ended up with a lovely piece of fillet steak and it was amazing. One of those places were you order the side separate but a few to choose from. Overall both our meals were what you expect from a restaurant of this quality and a place to defiantly to try once!
