Service was excellent. Food perfect! Liked their menu because it wasn't overwhelming but had ample selections for brunch.

The first three times I dined at Atwater's the food was perfection. However, I have had poor service and less than adequate food the last two times I have been there. Never again! The brunch I hosted for several friends was served one and a half hours after we were seated and was unedible. After having sent the pancakes back... More

We recently had dinner at Atwater's at The Herrington Inn in Geneva. The food, service and atmosphere were flawless. An intimate dining room, attentive service, delicious food. We had veal tenderloins and a strip steak. Accompaniments were delicious and attractive. We shared an appetizer of a cheese course with outstanding accoutrements. A dessert favor from the chef was a lovely... More

The restaurant overlooks the river and has the only fine dining experience at the town. The food is great and wine selection super. Bargain on the 2001 haut brion for Bordeaux fans!

My wife and I have had many special dinners at Atwaters. We recently came for our 30th wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. Great service. All the food is wonderful. Seats less than 50 so an intimate sort of place. Looks over a courtyard that opens to the Fox River. If you have a group, book the enclosed gazebo that... More

Excellent Service and the food was delicious...the wine list was exceptional for the price...I would suggest you have an after dinner drink as well since the fireplace is lovely in the Lobby Bar which is located next to Atwater's!

We dined here while staying at The Herrington Inn and Spa. The food was excellent with impressive presentation. We received an appetizer taster and dessert taster from the chef ,which were delicious. We were dining with a child and they did have children's options.

We had some excellent meals at this ten table fine dining place, overlooking the Fox River. Excellent, gourmet, finely prepared and tasty food. A special prepared chefs tasting appetizer was brought out while we were picking out wines from the extensive list. We were quite impressed with the selection. You can tell they have a buyer who knows how to... More
