Atlantic Manor (Ogdensburg) dinner
Paella Valencia ($23.00) Atlantic Manor is a new place in an former restaurant on 83 Main Street (517) right in the center of Ogdensburg (almost across from the school.) There is adequate parking. It is a Portuguese/Brazilian restaurant with seafood and grilled meat (steakhouse.) At the table was bread and assorted olives. I ordered a half pitcher of red sangria. (They have a licquor license and a bar.) My (smaller) paella valencia had a half lobster, shrimp, mussels, clams chicken and sausage and of course rice. It was a lot to eat .. two people could eat the small.. even though there is also a large one for two people at $42.00. With the meal came a wonderful white bean soup (soup of the night.) A salad or appetizer would have been extra, but I had plenty with just the soup an paella. It is not a inexpensive meal, but if you want to have a real dinning experience, it is well worth it. The also have an outside deck if you wish to eat outside. They have something called a Rodiza ($27.00)which is a bunch of Brazilian rotisseried meats ending with an pinapple on the rotisserie. I am so glad to have a different cuisine in Sussex country. Give it a try. It is well worth it. [Phone: (973) 823-6378]

I had the opportunity to go to the Atlantic Manor last night. Like you I am always looking for something new and original in our area. Upon first entering the restaurant, I found it to be loud and cramped. We were seated and unlike your experience we did not receive olives only a burnt sliced roll. From there it went down hill. I ordered a Caesar salad only to have to stop the bus boy from delivering it to the adjacent table. In hindsight I should have, the dressing was watery and lacking flavor. My entrée arrived while my salad was still in front of me. I moved it to the side and assumed that I was finished with it. The salad plate stayed on our table throughout the meal. The rest of our meal was pretty consistent with the beginning, small shrimp ECT. I asked the waiter if there was a problem once I was done with my entrée. He looked at me surprised; I expressed my concerns and asked for the check. Not even an apology. In my opinion there are a lot better choices in the area in the same price range. Lesson learned if I want Portuguese I will head down to Newark.
