Another night the offering was sea bass, grilled and served with a tangy mango relish. Skip, however, the prime rib special, which was disappointing on two counts. Second, it wasn t a very good prime rib, a surprisingly small portion with just average flavor. A couple of dishes could be stars with a little more care in the kitchen. Chocolate-almond truffle cake is satisfyingly rich.
Service is adequate, but only just.
Aside from that 45-minute wait, we had difficulties getting water glasses refilled on one visit. The short wine list covers most of the important bases but could do a better job of offering moderately priced reds. Originally published Sept. 27, 2000. Write your own review of Atwater's.
