    Atwood just keeps getting better and better. We brought a couple that had never been and they loved it the food & oysters. We had a wonderful time and the staff is amazing.

    Great food, great service, nice ambience, noise level was medium. Open table requiring that we put words to our review is silly.

    The food was very good but there was also several issues with service and pacing. We were asked to order appetizers/oysters and dinner choices at the same time; which was fine. But they screwed up the pacing and everything was brought out to the table at the same time. The oysters were good however very small. They served one tray of accompaniments which was ridiculously small; even for one person. Then we were told to share it among 3 people! Which is inexcusable. The fish sandwich (cod) was very good. But it also came with only about a tablespoon of tartar sauce. Not the best experience but we did all agree that the food (except for oysters) and drinks are exceptional. Hopefully it was an off night and these hiccups will get worked out

    Teresa was our server. She was spot on the whole time we were there. Celebrating my son's 29th birthday. Very glad there are items other than oysters, but he said they were amazing. The fish sandwich is really good and ginormous.

    We have dined at Atwood many times and love the atmosphere, service, and food. This time I tried the French Onion martini. Wow, it tasted just like French onion soup! It was so unique and quite delicious. The cabbage was new to us and very good, and the everything bagel Arctic Char was fantastic. This is one of our favorite places in OTR.
