Just steps from the bustle of The Loop, you’ll find a stylish respite: Atwood proudly offers all-day American cuisine, alluring libations, and a wildly guest-pleasing menu courtesy of Executive Chef David Fingerman.

Here, old meets new. The building is a 19th Century gem, but our soaring dining room is strikingly modern with white marble surfaces, glossy subway-tiled walls, and massive windows ideal for watching the State Street shoppers stroll by.

    Our server was slow and un helpful.. nothing was available that we wanted to order because of a kitchen issue.. and he said the bar was closed..yet others were being served mimosas? He seemed like he couldn’t be bothered.. 100 dollars later, we left still hungry.

    Went for brunch and the food was good, but the service was subpar. Our waiter (not sure of his name - don’t think he even said it) seemed nice enough but barely spoke two words, took our order then proceeded to disappear for the rest of the time we were there. We had to flag down another waiter, who told us that ours was on break and he was covering, and then we barely saw him again. My mother wanted salt and pepper for her meal, but by the time we saw someone again, she’d finished. Not the best experience. It may have been down to it being a hectic morning, but now I’m hesitant to go back.

    Average dining experience but service lacked for my time here. My dish came out wrong, I ordered a Cuban with fries but a side salad was brought instead. Then toward the end of service the waiter started to prepare our table for the morning while we were still seated! I understand if the restaurant was closed but there was still 30 minutes until the closing time of 10PM. Absolutely unbelievably bad ending experience with that.

    AtwoodResponded on May 16, 2023Thank you very much for leaving us a review. We take them all seriously and use them in our training to help step up our service. We are so sorry about your service and feel this is unacceptable. Immediate action will be taken on this matter so that it never happens again. Please feel free to reach out to us directly to further share about your experience so that we may further rectify. Our deepest apologies.

    My friend and I agreed that it used to be cozier. It feels very much like a hotel all-purpose restaurant because it is. However it is bright, clean, and well located. Simple menu but that's good -- not too much to mess up on. Good for pre-show bite. Would definitely recommend for a simple weeknight get together after work.

Modern, clean, design with lots of windows to view the Marshall Fields Building and the State St. buzz, and just blocks from the iconic Chicago Theater. Great restaurant all the way around, would highly recommend!

    We visited Atwood for lunch. The menu felt somewhat limited in options so be sure to check before you go to be sure there is something that appeals to you. I had a chop chop salad which was very good, and my companion opted for the street tacos appetizer plus pretzel bites. These all tasted great (we shared). Service was okay but not great. They served water right away (yeah!) but it was room temperature which was disappointing. It's a convenient location in the notable Reliance building.

    Great tasting food, and good service when it finally happened. Like many establishments, they are experiencing a staff shortage. It took a few minutes to get service. Andre’ the manager/supervisor made his way to our table, apologized and took care of our table for two. He was great. He was wearing multiple hats— behind the bar, bussing tables and taking orders. Once the order went in, we didn’t wait long for the food. Hopefully, they will get the staffing issue resolved.
