We had a FANTASTIC experience at the Walnut Room! The room is magical and we were visited by fairy princesses. Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was great! Everything was perfect! Our visit this year was much approved upon to last year. Maybe it just was too busy at the time. It's always very special!
