The food was delicious and the service excellent. We cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The oysters were fresh and tasty, and the crème brûlée was great! We will be back when we return to Cincinnati.

If you like oysters this is the place to go! We dined here on a Thursday evening and it was quiet with excellent service. The fresh oysters and the roasted oysters were delicious! The Arctic Char with the crispy seasoning was phenomenal!

We had 6pm reservations, very few customers. The atmosphere was good. We came for the oysters and were not disappointed but our main fish entrees were not up to par. Big fish price but appetizer sized portions. The wine list was large and varied but pricey. We ended the night at another restaurant for drinks and more food.

Excellent dinner at Atwood. The black bass and arctic char entrees were excellent. The raw oysters were fresh and the roasted ones were good, also. The service was on point. It’s a little loud there as there are no acoustics. Overall, recommend it and will return.
