What People Are Saying About Downtown Atlantic
The Editor

Erin Behan
Citysearch
The Scene – Downtown Atlantic takes pride in being part of the "other" downtown--downtown Brooklyn. Black-and-white photos of the area from a bygone era warm the rather suburban decor. Neighborhood folks looking for a safe, leisurely lunch or dinner spread throughout the wood-heavy dining room. Leisurely service encourages lingering. – – The Food – Solid American favorites are served with upscale presentation, and few dishes deviate from the expected. Starters such as shrimp rolls and chopped salad are fresh and flavorful, if average. An appetizer of polenta with…
Terrible Cupcakes
by BKLYNeater
I went to DA since my normal cupcake place (Betty's Bakery) was closed. I had high hopes since DA is well reviewed on this site and there were others inside also buying treats. However, the terrible-ness of the cupcakes has prompted me to write my first-ever City Search review. They were just horrid! The cake was stale and the "vanilla" (it didn't really have any flavor) buttercream was miserable. I ordered four different cupcakes and the only redeeming thing about the four was that one had some chocolate ganache icing which wasn't too bad. Definitely look elsewhere (Betty's - a few doors down) for better goodies.
- Pros: I guess the chocolate frosting isn't bad
- Cons: Stale cupcakes, miserable buttercream
EXCELLENT CUPCAKES!!!!!!
by Kateeeeee
I was a little apprehensive about this place seeing as I am not a fan of too many places in Brooklyn, however I was proven wrong. The food was excellent, especially the cupcakes from the bakery. However, I have to say that it was our waiter that made our visit. Not only was he really nice, he was hilarious and personable. If he is still working there, definitely reccomend the waiter with the long blonde hair
- Pros: Great service, CUPCAKES.
Good Local
by cassil
I have been to DA a lot of times. The food is pretty reliable and the staff is quite friendly.
It's not the best food but the prices are good and, as I said, they have a nice welcoming atmosphere.
- Pros: friendly
