We all enjoyed a cocktail and shared apps. The stand out was the Scottish Egg, a poached egg wrapped in sausage. Very unusual. We each enjoyed our entrees. The branzino was light and flavorful. The pork chop was decadent and delicious. The short rib pasta was said to have been the best ever by someone in my party. The carrot cake was outstanding. Our servicer was top notch, friendly, helpful and fun! She seemed to love her job. The place is decorated so beautifully for the holidays. The only thing that stops me from giving it 5 stars is that the prices seemed higher than necessary.

We frequent the Atlantic House, food is always great, the service is best in class and the atmosphere is always lively. The blue cheese chips are a great starter as are the Pot of Clams.
