    we ended up sitting at the bar because it was empty. Our bartender was great and witty. This is our third time at the Walrus and will for sure will be returning.

    My wife and I found this place when looking for a place to eat close to the Ohio Theater. We were about 15 minutes late and the Walrus had no problem accommodating us. The waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and were happy to expedite the bill because we were running behind. The drinks were good and at our table quickly. The food was tasty and the portions were just right. It felt like the food took a while, but that was more likely attributed to our anxiety about getting to the venue on time. We would go back.

    Blackened salmon sandwich was great along with solid beer list. Good for pre-show meals.
