This place is a hidden gem in Cincinnati. Here is everything I had during my visit and it was all exceptional. Cremant, Raw oysters (Royal Miyagi - first time having these, delicious) Charbroiled oysters, Caviar, Mussels and French fries and for dessert the cornflake strawberry rhubarb crunch tart. I can't applaud the staff enough for the amazing dinner and experience here. Grace was an amazing server, friendly and knowledgeable. This review is coming from someone in the F&B industry for 20+ years. I look forward to becoming a regular at this restaurant. Well done everyone at Atwood!

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.
