    As always, Atwater did a great job with food, service and atmosphere. Our waiter was really good, albeit the place was busy he kept a good eye on our table. The rack of lamb was out of this world. This is a great place for a special night out as it is expensive.

    This restaurant is just lovely and the food was good. I think the service needs to be stepped up a notch. Like at these prices you should have really attentive service. I felt like we were an imposition honestly.

    We had a wonderful lunch today. The food was outstanding, but what made it really special today was our server Kyle. He was so sweet and kind, patient as well. He was fully versed with the menu . We asked him what he thought was outstanding and he gave us some excellent choices. Kyle helped to make our Christmas celebration even nicer! Thank you, Kyle!

    I eat there every year during the Christmas walk. I enjoy a glass of wine at the bar. All the people celebrating the holiday makes Christmas for me. The staff at the bar are friendly and helpful- I explained we were having dinner and wanted to add our wine to the bill. The dinner was the best I have ever had. The filet melted in your mouth. I had dessert and of course their wonderful coffee. I cannot recommend this restaurant high enough.
