ATWOOD GRILL,

Eating at Atwood Grill is an open, comfortable experience. Surrounded by crisp white walls and framed black-and-white pictures, it feels like home, with hanging dried-flower arrangements and a casual mix of music in the background.The main dishes are reasonably priced, including the chicken marsala ($8.95). The dish holds a full plate of chicken and is accompanied by large portions of corn and mashed potatoes. The moist chicken is covered in a thick marsala gravy and portobello mushrooms. The penne in a pesto cream sauce ($6.25) is also a good choice -- firmly cooked and tossed in a homemade pesto, cream, and Romano cheese. The dessert menu is varied, but the Oreo cheesecake ($2.50) is one of their best offerings, with an Oreo chocolate bottom and cake topped with crumbled pieces of cookie. The tiramisu ($3.50) is also heavenly. It's a light blend of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and thick cream. Overall, the Atwood Grill serves a lot of food for little money.
