I have been to this restaurant several times to meet with prospective employees and clients. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is conducive to conversation. Not too pretentious, but interesting menu. more

My husband and I dined at Cafe Atlantico two nights ago and were very impressed. We decided on the chef's tasting menu and were not disappointed. Our first course was a treat from Minibar - a liquid olive on a spoon. We also had the fried oyster and uni, seared foie gras, a scallop, and the chimichurri lamb shank. Each... more

The food was amazing and our server suggested the perfect wine to complement the entree. We especially enjoyed the tableside-prepared Guacamole. The freshness of ingredients and the overall taste was superb! more

We were seated on the second floor with a great view of the open kitchen-fun. We started out with caipirinhas that were very good (I'm a Brazilian, I know). Partner had the Friday market menu, I ordered a la carte. Our appetizers, Green Fried tomatoes & conch fritters tasted like State Fair food - one dimensional, disappointing. Things improved a... more

Great food, great service. more
