Twenty Eight Atlantic At Wequassett Resort

This was a fantastic experience. Trying the seven-course dining option is a must!

The restaurant was incredible and absolutely top notch. Unfortunately, we live on a different continent, so we won't be able to visit again. The service was flawless, a perfect 10 out of 10.

Twenty Eight Atlantic is back! If you 've had unfortunate experiences at Wequasset in recent years, it 's time to try again. Not sure if it 's the new ownership or just a new attitude, but last evening was wonderful in every way. We let them know ahead of time that we were celebrating a friend 's recent triumph and they understood exactly what that meant. The best table in the house corner table at the windows overlooking the terraces with the ocean beyond and last evening, a shoreside wedding. Delightful. Three of us had the 7 course tasting menu (they allow substitutions! and one had the 5 course (variation at the same table! . Everything was fresh, inventive, incredibly flavorful, and a delight to look at, smell and taste. Warning the portions are larger than the typical tasting menu pace yourself (we sadly didn 't! . We started with enhancements of champagne (the Veuve Cliquot was excellent and caviar (our outstanding server coached us through the many build options they serve with your tin on ice! . And when it all was done, they brought out a post desert tray of homemade marshmallows, a heavenly chocolate ganache ball, and jellied pineapple and a gift for our guest of honor. Perfection. It cost a fortune. And was worth every penny. Go now because word will get out fast that this once grand dining room is back. It 'll be hard to get a table soon. On the way out we noticed that Thoreau 's was packed!

We went to this restaurant because our kids gave us a gift certificate. It is very expensive, with only two menu options: a $125 three-course meal with large portions, or a $195 seven-course tasting menu with smaller portions of the three-course items. The wine selection is extensive and tasty, but pricey. The lobster carbonara had too much pasta and not enough lobster, while the homemade pasta was delicious. The petite tenderloin was overcooked and lacked flavor. The halibut was excellent, but the portion size was too big. Despite being overstuffed, the Baked Alaska dessert was delicious. Our waiter was fantastic and the window table had a beautiful view of Pleasant Bay at twilight.

The space, view, service were very good. The food was so disappointing. We went for our anniversary planning to spend between $400-$600 for an exceptional experience and it unfortunately did not deliver.
