    Our party of four went on Dec. 30 trying to miss the New Years eve rush and celebrate with family. I figured we would have a better experience - better service, hot food, etc. Well, I was mistaken. Atwater's only had one waitress working the dining room. Odd for a holiday week. Naturally, service was very slow (took over an hour to get entrees) and by the time we got our food it was luke warm at best. I ordered the ribeye and sent it back because it was just barely warm. Needless to say, I was really disappointed. We love Atwaters and have been going here for years, but I am not in any rush to go back. I expect more from this fine dining restuarant.

    We celebrated our anniversary and had a tremendous dinner at Atwater's. The service, food, and ambiance were exceptional. We plan on going back to The Herrington and Atwater's more often.

    Food was great. Server was prompt but, not overly invasive. We were lucky not too many people in the place. Everyone in our group enjoy the meal and it was a nice place to catch up with friends.
