  • We enjoyed another good meal her last night before the theatre. This week was the end of the summer menu, so the excellent chicken breast will have a new presentation from the panzanella salad and asparagus that accompanied our entrees. Mussels continue to be good -- this time in a spicy and smoky tomato broth -- and the tuna tartare is consistently tasty. Our waitress told us that the pavlova was only egg white and air which it was but with wonderful fruit and fresh whipped cream. Wine list is interesting but very, very pricey for what is offered, especially by the glass. Atwood Cafe used to be a regular pre-theatre stop, but it is rapidly pricing itself out of our pocketbook. Too bad, since it is always a treat to dine here.

  • Order: Mussels, tuna tartare, chicken breast, summer fruit pavlova
