    Wonderful with COVID-19 Changing Plans!

    Although I can't exactly write this review about hosting our reception at the Atlantic Grill like we had planned, I have nothing but good things to say about how Caitlyn handled everything! Caitlyn was so easy to work with, and was understanding of how difficult it was to plan a wedding in the midst of a pandemic. We eventually decided to postpone our reception to next year, but never felt pressured from Caitlyn to make that decision. We ended up having dinner, just the two of us, after our ceremony (in our wedding attire of course!), and everything was absolutely delicious! We're scheduled to have our reception there next year, and can't wait to see how it all turns out!

    Amazing Venue & Service!

    We choose to have our rehearsal dinner at the Atlantic Grill. We could not have been happier with this decision. Caitlyn was incredible to work with! She was organized, flexible and kind. She brought our vision to life and made the atmosphere for our rehearsal dinner that much more special. Our guests are still raving about how delicious the food was and how incredible the space was. A few are planning to go back to the restaurant for dinner who had never been before that night! The night was perfect!

    The Atlantic Grill's reply:

    Thank you so much Gabrielle! I am so glad that you and your guests enjoyed your meals and got your fabulous wedding weekend off to a great start! Please let me know if you two are coming into the restaurant so I can come say hi! :)

    Memorable Rehearsal Dinner

    We hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome cocktail hour at the Atlantic Grill in August. We could not have been happier with this decision. Caitlyn was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was communicative, organized, and accommodating from day one. Planning with her was a breeze and she handled the day of with ease. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent! I personally still think about the pot de creme. I also appreciated that great care was taken for a few serious dietary restrictions we had in the group. I highly recommend The Atlantic Grill and Caitlyn Hassett. Thank you for helping us kick off our wedding weekend!

    The Atlantic Grill's reply:

    Thank you so much Micho! It was such a pleasure working with you and I am so thrilled to hear you had a great time. Congratulations and please come visit in the restaurant some time soon! :)

    We had a Welcome Reception for my son, his fiancé and about 190 people last weekend at The Atlantic Grill. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food amazing and abundant and the service excellent. Everyone had a fantastic time. They were responsible and careful about not serving underage people. The staff was courteous and made sure that we were happy throughout the night. I would highly recommend The Atlantic Grill and Caitlyn Hassett who is the events coordinator. She was patient, flexible and available for us throughout the planning process. Thank you for a memorable evening!

    Katie and Sean 10/13/2018

    When we got engaged in March of 2017 we had always envisioned getting married in the lake’s region of NH. However, we were going to have a small wedding, about 85 people, and many venues in the lake’s region wanted 100+ people. We are from Dover, NH so we started to look at Portsmouth as an option. We had tours at Portsmouth Harbor Events and other places but, we walked away feeling like it just wasn’t the place for us and our wedding size was just going to be to small. We stumbled upon Atlantic Grille through some small wedding shopping on The Knot and we are so happy we did. We met Caitlyn and the magic started. Caitlyn is very hands on so if you’re worried about hiring an event planner you don’t need to be. She answered every email in a timely fashion sometimes even after work hours or days off. She is open to really any idea you have but, will give her professional opinion just in case. We sat down with her in March of 2018 to do our tasting and the amount of food that we tried was outstanding. She let us try nearly everything on the menu and the portion size was more than I was expecting. We had brought our moms with us and Caitlyn really let us go and decide what we wanted for each course. She was also able to add in some options that weren’t on the menu. We wanted mac n cheese balls and Bloody Mary shooters and the chef agreed to make those which we were happily surprised with. We met with her three days before the wedding and brought all of our boxes with us for the reception. She asked for pictures of how the welcome table, memoriam table and sweetheart table should be set up. When we entered the reception after doing couple photos we couldn’t believe how it turned out. Everything was exactly where I wanted it to be and Caitlyn brought our vision to life! We couldn’t believe that with just leaving her with everything and giving her some pictures, it would have turned out so great! Katie who is her assistant was there to help us close the wedding and she kept up the high standard that Caitlyn had left us expecting. I asked her if we could get some boxes to bring home the rest of our cupcakes and she brought boxes right over and started putting cupcakes in. She also brought us take home boxes for our meals that we just couldn’t finish because we had eaten so much at cocktail hour. We ended up forgetting them but, we are going back this Friday for dinner anyways. We really can’t say enough about Caitlyn and her staff and how amazing they made our wedding night! If your looking for a small venue in the Portsmouth/Rye area please check them out!

    i had my wedding reception at Atlantic Grill and the overall experience was fantastic. Caitlyn was our key contact at the reception. She was responsive to our questions and provided valuable suggestions for our reception. She also customized our menu and drink options based on our party size. Besides the great service offered, the food was also amazing. Our guests had a great time at the facility, so did my husband and I!

    The Atlantic Grill's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Eleanor! You and Alex were an absolute delight to work with and I am so happy you both found each other. :)

    The food and beverages were delicious, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful or gracious. Caitlyn and Katie were so helpful in the planning and the day of the shower.
    If you have an event here, you won't be disappointed.

    The Atlantic Grill was the perfect choice for our small wedding reception (about 25 guests). Our guests really appreciated the quality of food and drinks (and are still taking about variety offered six months later)! Definitely not your typical wedding food—and don’t let the name fool you, there was so much more than just seafood. We also appreciated the attentiveness of staff (including servers and during the planning process! The flexibility during our last minute planning process was very helpful as well. Caitlyn and staff were very professional and went above and beyond to ensure our day was special and that everything went as smooth as possible.

    We had my sister's bridal shower at the Atlantic Grill this past Saturday. The room was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the entire event staff was so kind! My sister was thrilled and all of our family and friends had a great time- everyone loved the venue!

    This was the first time my organization has used the Atlantic Grill in Rye, NH for an event venue.
    Their attention to detail exceeded our expectations in every way and they provided flexibility when our dates changed to accommodate our needs.
    We certainly look forward to having our next event there and can recommend Atlantic Grill to anyone looking for "just the right place."

    We held a staff retreat in one of the meeting rooms at Atlantic Grill. The space was clean, bright, and comfortable. Caitlyn and the rest of the staff are very helpful and accommodating. I would recommend this space for any type of meeting or event. The outdoor deck would be a great spot for a party!

    The Atlantic Grill's reply:

    Thanks Kylee!! We always love having SBM here with us and can't wait to see you all again!

    I had my husbands surprise party at Atlantic Grill and everyone is still raving about it. Caitlyn was so helpful in planning my party. I had nothing to worry about. Even providing suggestions for things I didn't think of (DJ, Decorations ,etc..). The food was phenomenal and my guests are still talking about how good it was. Koko the DJ was terrific to work with. I would highly recommend this venue for any type of party or wedding.

    Thanks so much Deb!! We are so happy you chose to host Tom's birthday here with us! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

    We had my parents 40 wedding anniversary dinner at the Atlantic Grill in November of 2015. They gave us a private room for 16 people and 2 kids under the age of 5. Since there were many different food restrictions we ordered off the regular menu. When we arrived our pre-ordered apps were waiting for us, hot and delicious. Even though it was a really busy night in the restaurant our food was timely and all came out great. When 1 meal was made in error, the corrected it quickly and removed it from our bill. I can't say enough good things about it the Atlantic Grill. Since then, we been for dinner a few times and also attended a work event there. I only wish it was closer to my house in Nashua!

    The Atlantic Grill's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Barry! We wished you lived closer too!! Hopefully we will see you again this summer!!

The food was excellent & the service was great. We loved our room, cozy yet open air also with the patio. A great atmosphere & intimate. I could not have asked for more. Thank you Atlantic Grill!

    We were very pleased with an Anniversary party hosed at the Atlantic Grill. The banquet manager Caitlyn was professional, organized, very responsive and fun to work with. The servers and service the day of the event was fabulous - recognized both by myself but also our guest. The room presented very well and the food was exceptional. Many compliments from the guest on the pecan crusted chicken and stuffed haddock. Very pleased and appreciative to those at the Atlantic Grill for making our event special.

    We elected to use the in-house A/V for our presentation; we had some issues with the sound going in and out throughout our presentation and will likely use our own A/V next time.

    The Atlantic Grill's reply:

    Hi there,
    I am so sorry to hear that you were having issues with your A/V. Please feel free to email me at chassett@theatlanticgrill.com and I will see what I can do to help rectify the situation for you. We always want to be sure that our customers have the best possible experience so if there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask.

    The Atlantic Grill did a fabulous job hosting our holiday staff party. We have used the venue before and love that they can customize the space by moving walls so that the room size is appropriate for the number of guests. The service and food were both excellent. It's a beautiful venue with lots of parking which is very convenient.

    The Atlantic Grill's reply:

    Thank you Martha! It is always a pleasure having your group here and we look forward to working with you again soon!!
