    We had a wonderful lunch today. The food was outstanding, but what made it really special today was our server Kyle. He was so sweet and kind, patient as well. He was fully versed with the menu . We asked him what he thought was outstanding and he gave us some excellent choices. Kyle helped to make our Christmas celebration even nicer! Thank you, Kyle!

    I eat there every year during the Christmas walk. I enjoy a glass of wine at the bar. All the people celebrating the holiday makes Christmas for me. The staff at the bar are friendly and helpful- I explained we were having dinner and wanted to add our wine to the bill. The dinner was the best I have ever had. The filet melted in your mouth. I had dessert and of course their wonderful coffee. I cannot recommend this restaurant high enough.

    Atwater’s consistently provides an exemplary dining experience: exquisite food (duck and ahi tuna), customer service (Rose is outstanding), and inspiring ambiance. It has been our go to restaurant since 1993.

    Overall very quiet and a nice place, but the food was slightly above average but not worth the price tag. Service was adequate but not above and beyond. We’re not crazy about the place, but we’d go back.

    Superb experience, from the greeting upon entering the Herrington, to leaving, satisfied. Service is accommodating and elegant, but friendly. Flavors are unique and delicious, with all ingredients top quality.

    Very elegant upscale ambiance. We went there for a date night. This restaurant appeals to an older crowd (we are in our 30s and were the youngest people there by a long shot- to the point people were staring at us). Food was delicious- expensive, but good portion sizes. Cost was just around $200 for 2 people; we each ordered a salad, an entree, and 1 alcoholic drink. It is very quiet, dark, and romantic in there. The restaurant is small- only about 10 tables inside- but it was quaint and cozy. Dress code is semi-formal. I wore a skirt and blouse and my fiancé wore nice jeans and a sweater- he felt under dressed, we both agreed a blazer would have been more appropriate. Overall if you are looking for a more formal, elegant evening out- or looking for a place to impress a date- I would recommend Atwater.

    Very small venue. We went on a Sunday night and was about 1/2 to 2/3 full. Atmosphere was intimate. Might be different on a Friday night when it is full. I had the Duck at the waiter's suggestion and it was very good. My wife had the Filet Mignon, also very good. We hadn't been there in years but will be going back soon.
