Editorial Review for Atwood Cafe – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
Brick-red walls and playful details combine with luxurious, velvety furnishings and cherry-wood floors to create a fun, stylish, cozy atmosphere. Eighteen-foot ceilings allow for grand, square columns, beaded chandeliers and stage-worthy red drapes.

The Food
Warm focaccia starts the meal--but go easy, as appetizers are generous. Try mild, crispy duck quesadillas, given a pleasant kick from chili-spiked salsa. Tender, bite-sized ahi tuna and salmon tartare is layered onto fried wontons with wasabi viniagrette. Creative seasonal entrees include duck breast, capellini, chicken breast and mussels. Grilled ahi tuna is deliciously sweet and salty with capers and garlicky butter. Lunch specialties include Atwood's signature chicken pot pie, sealed with a flaky buttermilk biscuit crust, while breakfast kick starts the day with delicious three-egg omelettes and toasted pecan waffles.

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.
