Fantastic meal with fantastic service! Our server was so sweet and accommodating. We were easily able to enjoy a huge variety of dishes while keeping someone with a shellfish allergy safe. They were also extremely kind and helpful to my 92 year old grandmother. To top it all off the food was amazing. We will be back!

This was truly one of the best dining experiences and the best food I have ever had. Every dish we had became an instant favorite, and we spent our entire meal planning our next visit to Atwood. I will be making this place my entire personality for the foreseeable future. As someone who does not typically enjoy oysters, I was worried there may not be many options for me. However, I quickly realized that was not the case. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the bread service and oysters (he started with half a dozen but ordered another half after tasting how good they were) to start. We then had the arctic char and fish en croute as our mains, with a side of the potato mille-feuille and french fries to share. We ended the evening with strawberry cornflake dessert. EVERY dish was mouthwateringly good. I will be dreaming about each and every one of them until next time.

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.
