Description

Dining at this restaurant presents a mixed bag of experiences. While the stunning views and exceptional service shine brightly, the food often fails to meet expectations. Guests have noted bland flavors, overcooked seafood, and disappointing dishes relative to their high prices. However, standout items like the halibut and crème brûlée offer glimmers of culinary excellence. Despite some mishaps in service and a limited menu, many patrons commend the friendly staff and pleasant ambiance. Overall, while the setting is remarkable, potential diners should be prepared for a possibly uneven gastronomic experience amidst the beautiful surroundings.

Our annual anniversary destination and NEVER disappointed. If you want to treat your wife like a Queen take her here. The food is original and scrumptious. The service is always superb and professional. The dining room is elegant with a seaside resort smart casual feel. My compliments again to the Chef and entire staff of 28 Atlantic. See you next year!

For the seven courses, the tuna lacked flavor and was quite bland, and the burrata was similarly unimpressive. The scallops were overcooked and rubbery, although the accompaniments were enjoyable. The halibut, however, was the highlight of our dinner; it was served hot, and the curry sauce was both innovative and delicious. Unfortunately, the wagyu was a major letdown—it was chewy and fatty. On a positive note, the crème brûlée was excellent. As for the three-course meal, the mushroom bisque was served cold, and the wagyu was again disappointing, as mentioned earlier. Our server was friendly but perhaps a bit too talkative. They didn’t check in with us regarding our satisfaction with the dishes, and our water glasses needed more frequent refills. Additionally, it was hard to understand the assistants who brought the food out. Overall, this experience was a significant disappointment given the hype surrounding the restaurant.

We had been a week earlier and everything was great. Our waitress was Alexandra and she was superlative. Last night was average, definitely not what was expected from a well known 5 Star. Service was average and our waitress ghosted us several times. We are not picky diners but the oysters came out some unshucked and two other totally dry. We told the waitress who quickly removed the dish telling us she would take care of it. She did not return until our second course had begun. I told her I did not have any oysters and was expecting that she would bring out a new order. She told me that she had just merely taken it off the bill. No remedy. The total bill was $1200 for four people. I don't mind paying high prices for good food and great service but that did not happen. Disappointing

I cannot say enough great things about 28 Atlantic. It was our very first night of our honeymoon, visiting all the way from California. We did some research and found this place. We are so glad we chose this as our first dinner for the honeymoon. It was beautiful, romantic and the food was spectacular. I can truly say after dining at some of the best restaurants in Carmel, Monterey, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, this was BY FAR our best dining experience. From the food to the ambiance. Everything was exquisite. I want to say a special thank you to Rene and chef. You guys made our East Coast experience a core memory for a lifetime. Thank you. We will never forget it.

What a fantastic restaurant. We celebrated our 50th anniversary at Twenty Eight Atlantic and had such an enjoyable time. We were a little concerned about the Prix Fixe menu and the tasting menu since we had a poor experience at another restaurant. We were worried for nothing. The portions were ample and we actually had difficulty in completing our meals. We started with an enhancement addition to menu of Sashimi. It included hamachi, salmon and tuna. All were excellent and one of the best sashimi plates we have had. Our first course was the summer burrata and spring asparagus. Both plates were visually appealing and delicious. For the second course, my wonderful wife had the Butter Poached Lobster. This is a 1 1/4 pound lobster out of the shell with roasted corn, fennel, sea lettuce and crab meat in a pastry roll. I had the Australian A5 Strip Steak with beef cheeks with a carrot cake puree, mushroom and potato, truly excellent. Dessert was also excellent. Note that you also get a small appetizer, a palate cleanser between courses and a small dessert for each. Our bottle of wine was great. Eli, our server was very attentive and friendly We were treated so well by all he staff and even received a small gift in honor of our anniversary. This is a great place with a large window overlooking Pleasant Bay. The grounds are also gorgeous.
