Great Food, Great Place!. I went here with my friend, Ryan, and we both thought it was pretty nice. I came in a penguin polo and didn't feel overdressed. Their dark chocolate cake was incredible, my favorite food other than chili fries under the pier!

Overall, the prices seemed a bit steep, but it was fair once you saw the quality of the food. It's quite a drive from Newport, but it's worth it!

Good food. I thought that this would just be another over-priced hotel restaurant, but the service and food quality make this restaurant well worth the visit. My meal was so good i even decided to have dessert, (which i never do). I was very pleased with my experience here.

Fine food and even better ambiance. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at the Atwood. The food was beautifully presented and tasted excellent! The waiter was friendly and accomodating, all while being very professional. As awesome as the starters and entrees are, save room for dessert. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic. Everyone should eat here.. We went to the Atwood Cafe for the first time for my mom's birthday, and it was one of the best restaurant experiences i have ever had. This place puts out some very big flavors for such a small location. The ahi tuna and salmon tartar was our favorite appetizer of the evening. My mm loved her filet with truffle butter. I had an arctic char with rosemary sauce that was absolutely divine. we all enjoyed their banana bread pudding with white chocolate and caramel. all the portions were extremely generous and the staff was very attentive (for instance, i am an aspiring restaurateur, and the manager came over to have a lengthy discussion about the industry with me) over all, the Atwood Cafe offers not only a good meal but also a fantastic dining experience.

Love the Atwood Cafe!. I have been there a few times for breakfast and each time it has been great! The food and service are awesome and the atmosphere is cozy and romantic. While I have never been for dinner or lunch I would definitely reccomend the Atwood for breakfast or brunch.

Best regards,

A real Gem!. The food here is nothing short of super. The beef pasta is fantastic as are the lamb chops. All the starters and desserts I have tried have also been wonderful. The ambiance is also to die for, it could not be a nicer place to enjoy a lovely lunch or a pre-theater dinner, though they tend to want you out a little early if you go for a later dinner.

It was OK - expensive for the meals. We went after Wicked - I made reservations several days earlier for 4 - they had us down for 3 - they questioned me about it and they were not very nice. You would have thought it was a HUGE problem switching a 3 to a 4. I eat out in Chicago quite often - the atmosphere was nice and cozy. The food was average for the expensive price. Two people had the duck breast which was medium well - not medium rare and another had lamb chops which were well done - not even close to med rare. The desserts were very good - nothing exceptional. It was over $200 for 4 with 3 glasses of wine.

Superior Food and Service. My wife and I went here before Wicked last night. We called at 3 to get reservations and were lucky to get them. This place is amazing. We had the calamari which blew us away. We also both had the filet mignon, again, could not have tasted better. Despite the pre theatre crowd, service was not lacking. This place really knows how to make it work. Great food, drinks, and service! Highly recommend. not the most romantic place as it tends to get a little loud due to its smaller size
