    A wonderful night at Atwater’s. One of the best Mother’s Day dinners ever! The duck and filet mignon were prepared perfectly as requested! Superb dessert!

    Enjoyed Mother's Day for brunch here. Luna was our server who was cheerful & attentive, and had plenty of back-up staff to ensure even more attentiveness. Started with mimosas, food was delicious and we really like the 'presentation.' I had sea scallops & shrimp & husband had an omelette. Very pleasant atmosphere - upscale, not loud, plush seating.

    I asked to be seated in front of the fireplace 6 weeks ago and the host sat us at a window seat. It’s Easter….not going to make a big deal; but worth noting! Mary Luna was delightful as was the staff and service. Chef is always fabulous and the presentation delightful.

    Absolutely made the right choice to celebrate a 91st birthday over breakfast at Atwater's. Such a classy and cozy place, food was spectacular for all 6 in attendance and service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.
