The Skinny: Sometimes you want something light, and nothing suits a breezy April evening quite like a plate of hummus.
It’s both good and good for you.
The hummus at The Atlantic Grille was smooth and had a nice tang. It was served with wonderfully roasted red peppers that were cooked to intensify the flavor but retained an almost al dente texture — they were not falling apart. Add to that a minor mountain of Kalamata olives and creamy cubes of feta, and you have the perfect meal.
But The Atlantic Grille takes it a step further and offers a salad composed of crispy array of mixed greens all topped with fresh balsamic vinaigrette that was redolent with fruit undertones.
It’s the perfect dish for watching the world go by.
We sat out on the patio outside the bar, chatted with the neighbors and smiled as folks of a certain age boogied to a cover band playing the sounds of Barry Manilow.
They clearly were having a blast, and so were we.
