   My birthday breakfast at Atwater's was perfect. My family and I were pleased with the menu options, resulting in 3 different meals. Each meal had a presentation and taste to fully satisfy all of us. My daughter had never been to Atwater's during daylight and was impressed with the beauty of the grounds and the river as a background. Our compliments to the staff who made our day so enjoyable. Looking forward to dining at Atwater's often.

   Located along the Fox River, Atwater's in The Herrington was a wonderful place to celebrate a special intimate event. We celebrated our anniversary. The ambiance was lovely and we were able to have a personal conversation easily. The staff attentive, but not invasive and assured all our needs were met before we could ask. The flavor of the food was delicious overall. The chef prepared a special pork belly appetizer that was outstanding. We would definitely recommend this quaint place to others.

   Understated elegance and exceptional food. The service was spot-on (not too much, not too little) and quiet atmosphere was perfect for our party. Would highly recommend this to someone for a special occasion or intimate dining experience.

    Filet mignon and Steaks were excellent. Wow, their wine selections were great and inexpensive. We totally enjoyed the meal and ambience. After dinner, we went out to the river front, which was just relaxing. We had great time with daughters. It was a memorable event. Recommend.

    This was our second dining experience this year at Atwater's and it was once again phenomenal. We were married at the Herrington, so we already knew the food was good. It was quick and easy to reserve a table via Open Table. I requested a window seat with a river view, and that is what we got. In fact, when we arrived, I overheard the host tell another diner they could not have a window table because it was reserved for us :) We were seated immediately. On our table was a happy anniversary card signed by Herrington/Atwater's staff. So lovely. Here is what makes Atwater's so special - more special than your typical high-end restaurant: - It's quiet. No clanging or crashing of dishes. No obnoxiously loud talking. Hushed. Not sterile, but hushed. - The service is impeccable. Timing is perfect. Servers keep an eye on their tables so they know exactly when to come over. Timing of next stage of food arrival is perfect. There is no rush. This is truly fine dining, where you are supposed to savor each and every course of your meal. - The food, of course, is amazing. As in, mouthwatering. As in, my eyes roll back in my head delectable. We had appetizer (crabcakes), entree (ahi tuna / salmon dishes), and dessert (ganache chocolate cake), and it was all incredible. - The restaurant provides a complimentary amuse bouche, as well as a complimentary entremet (last night it was a tiny caramel-filled chocolate; last time it was chocolate dipped strawberries). - The seats are so comfortable. High back chairs that have plenty of cushion. Tables that are large enough to accommodate all of the food plus the wine menu I wanted to hold onto, etc. A white table cloth with none of that annoying protective white paper over it. Beautiful dishes and silver and appropriate glassware for each type of beverage. I strongly recommend this restaurant, especially if you have a special occasion to celebrate.

    Atwater's, located in the Herrington Hotel, is a hidden gem that many people don't know exists. We sat outside for lunch in a beautiful garden overlooking the Fox River. The "Farm to Table" menu consisted of many unique food combinations. My salad included large grilled shrimp on a beet puree with roasted corn salsa and a citrus beurre blanc sauce. It was delicious and so refreshing and light for a summer afternoon lunch. The service was impeccable. This is my new favorite place in Geneva.

    The food has seriously declined in quality at this lovely outdoor spot we visit about twice a year. The service was also lacking. No water was offered, and the server corrected me when I correctly pronounced "crepe" with the incorrect pronunciation "cr-ape," as she did. You never correct a guest's pronunciation.

    Another five star experience at Atwater‘s. I first dined here for my 65th birthday in May and knew I wanted to come back with my mom. My mom is 92 and I knew she would love the atmosphere, the old school feel and the ambience. I was right. She loved everything about our dining experience. We came for Sunday brunch and I requested a table by the window, which was honored. Robert was our server and provided great service. I have to say that both times I’ve dined here the service has been top notch and that makes it special for me. My husband had a bloody mary and I had a peach bellini, and we all shared the charcuterie board to start. I love their charcuterie board as there isn’t an empty space on the board. The cheeses and meats are good and there’s the added accoutrements like cornichons, olives, honeycomb and grainy mustard. For brunch my mom had the berry French toast with Virginia ham which looked amazing, my husband had the chicken crepes which he thoroughly enjoyed, and I opted for a traditional breakfast of poached eggs, english muffin, applewood bacon & fruit. Robert was so kind to ask the chef not to include any fruit with seeds so they gave me sweet melon. It was another wonderful dining experience at Atwater’s. I really do love this place and look forward to the next visit.

    Lovely room if a bit old fashioned. Service was average—earnest, young, but not fully on top of menu and tasks Food was disappointing- my colleagues chicken crepe was over cooked and my turkey avocado sandwich was dry and not well put together. Dessert was pretty good, however. I had a lemon soufreda with fresh berries. Sweet, cool, but not cloying. I won’t go back for lunch. But I hear the dinner is better.

    I ordered the filet medium (warm pink center). My steak arrived and it was more well done with no warm pink center. I ate it all and did not complain but it was not done the way I expected. When pay you that much for a filet, you expect it to be done perfectly.

I forgot my credit card on the table and he came down looking for me at the lobby to return my card. My husband and I got married here three years ago and since then, Atwater’s in The Herrington in Geneva was always our first choice for any special occasion!

    Atwater's is a special event dinner for us. The setting is lovely but service was a bit slow at times. The waitress and assistant were attentive, friendly, and helpful when they were there. There were several large parties outside and perhaps those stressed the staff and kitchen. The salads were good but un-inspired. the entrees (Walleye and seafood risotto) were outstanding - really the highlights of the meal. The deserts were mediocre. We didn't have starters so we cannot comment on them. If a friend were to ask I would suggest they just go for it with the entrees, which really were excellent, and a glass of wine and maybe have the salads. Skip the desert.
