    Excellent anniversary meal for the second year in a row. The cocktails are amazing. The duck pie with quince was delicious, as was the parsnip soup, and crispy skin chicken. The chocolate pudding is one of the best desserts ever. There was a kitchen mishap on the scotch egg, but the staff handled it graciously. Wonderful place for a special occasion.

    My family and I (6 in all) enjoyed an excellent dinner last night. We were celebrating my granddaughter's 21st, and they graciously provided a celebratory glass of Prosecco, and made a point of coming over to add his congradulations. Nothing but praise for the entire experience. That being said, one word of caution...parking is very difficult so if you don't know Portsmouth please give yourself some extra time and figure out how to get to a parking garage and walk to the restaurant. I was lucky and found a spot 50 feet from the front door....but my kids took 15 minutes to sort it out.

    The Atlantic Grill was by far the best restaurant I have been to! From the time we walked through the doors, until our last bite of delicious dessert, we were given a wonderful dining experience. The Atlantic Grill is a must try! You will NOT be disappointed!

    Food and drinks were very good, but our server did not seem to like having us. Everyone else who came to our table was very friendly and warm but our server appeared to be annoyed the entire time to have our table.
