    We really enjoyed our first visit to Atwood Oyster House. Great service at the bar before dinner and it continued after we were seated. Tried the arctic char at the suggestion of our server, Alex and really enjoyed it. Spouse had oysters and was impressed. We will definitely be back.

    Our experience at the Atwood was fine. The service was fine and the ambiance was fine. The food had no flavor, not enough spices. Were limited, it's an oyster bar and they had raw oysters but they didn't offer any other oyster dishes like oyster, stew or oysters Monica or anything like that. The price I thought was high for the amount/quality of food served. I eat out often and I'm willing to pay higher prices for food that is exceptional. This food was not exceptional in any way. I will not be going back.

    We really enjoyed our evening at Atwood. The food offerings were very interesting and tasty and the service was excellent. The noise level was energetic but not unbearable as it is in some places these days.

    Outstanding !!! Constantly improving !!! Many menu items are terrific and they finally added to the menu ( much needed ). The recently added Oysters Rockefeller ( a must for an Oyster House ) is fantastic and the new Cod entree is wonderful. Now please add Lobster Bisque and a crab stuffed flounder / grouper / something, etc. Wonderful restaurant. Theresa's service is the BEST !!!
