    Atwood was delicious and the service was excellent. It is a great place to go for fish, oysters, and mussels in the city. We ordered the mussels, Brussel sprouts, a couple of oysters, chicken thigh, bacon salad, French fries, and a couple of fish dishes. The best value was the market fish dish. It was a large portion and really good. I would definitely go back again.

    Service was fantastic. Menu selection is small which I like for a seafood place in the Midwest. The oysters rotate and on this evening it was all east coast. The fish en croute might be a hidden gem here in Cincinnati, it is basically beef Wellington but with black Cod and a creamy sauce inside of the puff pastry instead of beef. Highly recommend. All and all a solid place to get good fresh oysters in Cincinnati. Enjoy! 🍻

    Food was very good. Oysters Rockefeller were very good. No gulf coast oysters but several other choices. A little too pricey in my opinion, but I’m spoiled from visit to NOLA. Bouillabaisse was well done. Could have used more sauce. We were there very early so no crowd or noise.

    Excellent evening out. Moments of amazing food: oysters, p.e.i. mussels, potato mille-feuille and the Concord grape tart. Skip the bass à la nage.

    We had an amazing first experience. I felt that the ambiance was extremely comfortable which was perfectly matched by the amazing staff. Alex was exceptional and we hope to have the opportunity to dine with Alex again, since we will be back! The oysters and mussels were the stand out dishes as well as the lovely Pipin’ hot tea. We hope to see Atwood remain a part of Cincy for a long time! Super bonus points for the CLEAN and cozy bathroom. Much appreciated!
