Atwood Oyster House

One of the best dining experiences I have ever had! I went with my family to enjoy some fresh oysters. We wanted to go somewhere nice to celebrate new years and Atwood was definitely the vibe we were looking for! As for the food, we decided to get a variety of dishes to try all together. The oyster rockefeller were amazing and we also got the whole fish. The French fries were cooked perfectly and paired well with the crème fraîche, chives and caviar! The kale caeser salad was very fresh and there was a great selection of raw oysters. Our waiter was amazing and he did everything to make this experience the best for us! If you're looking to try some tasty raw oysters, I definitely recommend coming here! I'm looking forward to the next time we dine there!

Same perfect ambiance as the previous restaurant, probably a little better. The bartender was super super nice and attentive, I didn't catch her name. I do believe she was pregnant maybe?! The roasted oysters do not present well but they are so delicious. The mussels were good but the bread served with it was incredible. I really like this place and will be back for sure.

I came here for a quick drink and some oysters and it was exactly what I was looking for! The bartender was very friendly and recommended a nice white wine for me to pair with the oysters. I ordered one of each oyster that they offered for the day, and they were all delicious in their own unique way. The ambiance of the place was very quiet, but trendy and the food menu looked incredible. I'll definitely be stopping by the next time I'm in town!

This venue used to be a different oyster restaurant which I liked. But Atwood is a step UP from the previous concept which made me so happy! Everything was excellent, from the oysters, to the cocktails, to the caviar, to the fish sandwich.

Atwood continues to be the only place I want to spend my money. Everything is good, everything. The dirty martini with the house made brine is everything!!! The wine selections are unique and approachable, all of which seem to hold up to proper pairings for their menu selection as well. I had a bunch of oysters raw and Rockefeller, super fresh and delicious. Seasonal driven items. I also had the pei mussels with house made focaccia alongside of an Albariño. There is a slight kick to this dish which gave it nice complexity, but my favorite is the addition of fennel, the texture really worked for me. Well done Atwood! Every-time!

I wish I saved photos of all of our food, but it was too good to waste my time capturing. The oysters were shucked and cleaned perfectly. Every one of them was amazing. So much so, that we ordered a second dozen. Then after that, we did the caviar, also amazing. Their blinis look to be done in house. They were thin and perfect. we also had their bread with honey butter, only because we could smell it throughout the restaurant, and had no self-control not to order it. So glad we did. And then, after enjoying all of those things, we forgot we had to go to a play, so we ended with delicious french press coffee from deeper roots, along with very good carrot cake. Our waitress was wonderful. We really enjoyed everything and look forward to coming back to Atwood.

The food was fantastic. The service was was awful. We had a special night out, lined up child care, rented a hotel and got dressed up, expecting a spectacular night out, but our server seemed inconvenienced the whole time, and we're not even needy guests. Meanwhile the table next to us were treated like total rockstars with an enthusiastically nice server, free drinks and food throughout, so obviously it made us feel like suckers for paying so much for what we thought would be a special occasion dinner. I won't be back. The food was delicious but not enough to excuse awful service, especially for this exorbitant price.

Making reservations was super easy for this place, I was able to make birthday reservations a few weeks prior on open table. There is also outdoor patio for sitting. My group really enjoyed the ambiance and cool light fixtures in the restaurant. They have unique cocktails, one of the drinks we tried had fat mixed with a dark alcohol. I enjoyed an orange marmalade which tasted similar to a spiked lemonade. Oysters were tasty and also caviar was very good and was able to request additional serving cakes. One of the few places I found in Cincinnati to serve whole fish made for a super nice seafood dinner out !

Had an exceptional meal at Atwood Oyster House! We had 6 PM Saturday Dinner reservations which I was very happy we booked as the place filled up quickly. We started with two dirty martinis and loved the glasses that they came in. For food we started with a dozen oysters - these oysters were AMAZING. Each one had such a unique, strong flavor. You could really tell the difference between them and that was greatly appreciated. At other oyster houses I have had trouble tasting the difference between the oysters we order, but not here! Each oyster was bursting with great flavor! They were also HUGE! Some of the largest oysters I have had in a long time. After our oysters we opted for/split the Winter Salad ($13) and the Potato Mille-Feuille ($8). The potato was very flavorful and you could really taste the fontina in it. We both paired the salad and potato with a glass of wine. The staff paced our food perfectly and we never felt rushed. They were also very accommodative for food allergy questions. The atmosphere is crisp and clean, but moody. We loved the low lighting and all of the wood accents. It did get a little loud as the night went on and more people were dining, but it was never too loud where you felt you were yelling. Overall I will for sure be back again - I cannot stop thinking about how great these oysters were!!

Very cute place. Service and drinks were good. But the food needs some work. Seasoning and flavor were definitely lacking. The salt and vinegar fries did not taste like salt and vinegar. The whole fish was very bland. Needed salt and pepper and a sauce of some sort. Pita had no flavor and was floury tasting. I got the scallops on special and there was something in the sauce or salad underneath that tasted like a chemical that persisted in my mouth the entire meal.
