This was just an overall phenomenal experience- from food, to waitress, to environment. My husband and I went for our 15th wedding anniversary dinner. The building itself is an incredibly well kept historical building with excellent ambiance. We ate in the lower level at a reserved table next to a fireplace. The lighting was gorgeous and the atmosphere comfortable. Our waitress knew the menu well and was able to recommend some of her favorites. The app, meals, drinks- outstanding! We had a fried chicken sandwich and the chicken veggie fry for dinner. Delicious and perfectly cooked. I can’t stress how fresh it was. Do yourself a favor and eat here. We will be back for sure!

We took our 10 month old grandson there for brunch and everyone at the restaurant was so kind and accommodating! We were given a table by the fireplace which gave our grandson something to look at while we ate. The beverages and food arrived promptly which was wonderful since you only have limited time with a baby! The food was delicious and the server was very pleasant. Always a good experience at Atlantic Grill!

We went here for a birthday celebration and this place did not disappoint. Amazing cocktails and food, then add in superior service and live entertainment. Highly recommend this once hidden gem that is now centrally located in the heart of Downtown Dover.

Food was excellent. Two people in our party of four had the “famous “ meatloaf. It lived up to its reputation. It was delicious. One had a burger. Amazing. The fourth had the open face lobster ravioli. The cream sauce was the best thing she ever had. Lots of lobster and shrimp too. Drinks were good and our waitress was great. Overall a great night out. Deserts were outstanding as well. The tab for four including 4 drinks 4 entrees and 4 desserts. Only 207. Very reasonable considering the quality and the atmosphere. Thank you Davids

    Mother’s Day Brunch here was fantastic. Outstanding food, very similar to one we did at the Wentworth, but half the price. Staff was great, seatings were staggered so it didn’t feel crowded. Valet parking, nice setting, definitely recommend.
