Stopped in here for dinner with two friends - delicious food. Had the sweet potato fries, edamame, white tuna poke, crispy pork stir fry, garlic noodles, sizzling sizig and olive oil poached gambas al ajillo - everything was spot on - we ate everything that was served. Beer and wine selection was sparse. Highly recommended.

Attic is a gem in the busy restaurant row of South B street. Although this restaurant is categorized on FB and Yelp as Chinese..that it is not. It is more Asian fusion with a heavy emphasis on the Filipino roots it build upon. Chef Tim Luym mixes traditional Filipino food with other Asian influence and comes up with wonderful, mouthfuls...

Absolutely wonderful dinner at Attic tonight. We arrived at about 7:15pm on a Thursday night. There were several empty tables but she told us it would be a 10-15 minute wait so we went to the small upstairs bar. It took a while to get service but the bartender was friendly. We ordered and received our drinks and then were... More

From the outside this doesn't look like much and you have to go upstairs from the bar but what a great restaurant. The food was very different. We had garlic shrimp, steak (tender and cut into small pieces flavored wonderfully) and the garlic noodles. I would go back and try the rest of the food next time I am in... More

We popped in here for a glass of wine, and I really wish we'd stayed! The happy hour 5 dollar glass of Cabernet was very tasty. The bar was more of a take away counter, with tall tables and a long bar table...no service other than to bring over ordered snacks. This made the place extra chill and really friendly.... More

Great food, great service. Try the Garlic Noodles with or without crabmeat. Also, the Korean BBQ Lettuce wraps. I've been back for everything on the menu. Home-style high-end Pan-Asian food.

I have walked by this restaurant many times before actually trying it. Finally someone who has good taste in food told me it was great, so I tried it. To access the restaurant one must walk through a downstairs bar area and then up some stairs to the second floor. Once upstairs, the host greets you and asked if you... More
