    This was me and my daughter’s first time dining at the Walnut Room. The giant Christmas tree is the first thing you see when you walk into the restaurant, it was stunning. Our server was amazing, he kept an eye or our table, I can say my water glass was never empty. I had the chicken pot pie and my daughter had the Walnut Room burger. Everything tasted very good. Our server Lex also made some dessert recommendations and it didn’t disappoint.

    I haven't tasted food THIS good from a restaurant in a really long time. It was well seasoned, but not too salty. The drinks were really good too. Although it was pretry crowded, we didn't have to wait long for our food. I can't wait to go back.

    Food always so good. We went at lunch time so not so busy or noisy. Service was inattentive and not knowledgeable about the menu.

    We went for our family and friends Thanksgiving dinner. There was a special Thanksgiving meal although they normally only serve Italian food. It was delicious and a generous portion. There’s a good wine and cocktail selection. The service was excellent. It was also Mom’s birthday and they made her feel special.
