    We had a lovely experience dining with you. Each dish was delicious and thoughtful. Surprisingly, one of the better things was the French fries. I don’t know why, but they were very very good. The chicken thigh was executed spectacularly.

    The food was fantastic!!!!! We tried the tuna au poivre, a special, but I hope they keep it on the menu. Confit cabbage was buttery and delicious. The oysters were super fresh, great variety from the Northeast and Northwest. Definitely recommend. Awesome experience.

    A very enjoyable first experience here. I came mostly for the oysters and had both east coast and west coast varieties. All were fresh, plump and juicy. My wife won't eat oysters so started out with the mussels. I tasted a couple and found them delightful. Their broth was excellent as was the accompanying house focaccia - good for sopping up the broth. We both tried the Arctic char for the main course. The char was as good as everything else. There is also a nice wine list here that we tried by the glass. And, for dessert we shared the cocoa cake torte, wonderful. The service was excellent. Anna took good care of us. The place was very busy and is not that large so I would think reservations are a must to get in. Atwood Oyster House is definitely on my list of go-to OTR restaurants now. We will return.

    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.
