The Atlantic

13.5/20

Seafood$$$

With its focus on high-end seafood, the Atlantic is a clever addition to the line-up at Crown - you can imagine a high roller heading here for a post-win lobster. It's a discreetly masculine room, backed by efficient service. Food lovers might be lured by the presence of classically trained British chef Donovan Cooke, though don't expect too many fancy culinary fireworks. main courses emphasise fresh fare that's lightly touched and served simply. Choose your fish (flathead or snapper, perhaps) and your preferred cooking method (steamed, roasted or grilled), augmented by a couple of sides, which can ramp up the bill. Entrees such as a Japanese-leaning trio of raw fish with cucumber, daikon and a wasabi dressing, or a hearty smoked eel salad, reveal more artistry. There's a limited range of meaty dishes, but the seafood offerings are the focus. Desserts might include a mod take on strawberries and cream, or Valrhona chocolate tart, a nod to Cooke's time under Marco Pierre White.
