    the service was really well done. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The food was very good along with the noise level and the ambiance was perfect. The food for my normal taste was higher but for a once-a-year special date night isn't really that high. It is definitely a place I would go back to and try a different entre. If you're looking for a good place to take someone special in a quieter city, then this is your place.

    Excellent neighborhood eatery for casual delicious bites. Wish we lived closer! Service was friendly, knowledgeable, polite, he knew exactly when to come and when to let us enjoy our food and conversation. Wonderful varied selection of tapas bites that offer something for everyone- menu has a great balance of options between meats, seafood, vegetables, cheese/charcuterie. The two of us were able to share five different plates before we moved on to dessert. Many wine options including small pours if you wanted a taste and not commit to a full glass - homemade sangria too. We finished our meal with homemade tres leches cake drizzled with raspberry sauce resting in a creamy pool of deliciousness. We can't wait to go back!

    We had a party of six and it was a great evening. The food was top notch and the service was some of the best we ever had. We ate in Fine Dining but there are other venues at the Atom House. We were there on 2/28, not the busiest time for a restaurant located on the St Croix but for a celebratory occasion it was perfect.
