    A gift card for Christmas brought us here, but we will come back for the fresh oysters, the outstanding seafood, and the fabulous desserts. Atwood Oyster House is a jewel of a warm, cozy restaurant with an amazing seafood menu.

    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
