Thank you Patti, Cassandra, and the rest of the staff for your help making this a great memory we will always have!

    I took my mom for a Valentine's Day lunch. We went around 3 PM, and even though my reservation was at 3:30 PM the staff were nice enough to let me in. Granted it was a low volume of people eating at the time. We were sat near the windows which added to the ambience of our visit. The music made it feel like we were in an old fancy jazz club. I had the French onion soup and the chicken sandwich while my mom had the Walnut turkey club sandwich. Both sandwiches came with well seasoned fries. The food was delicious and our waitress, Annette, was very attentive and sweet. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely go again. I would highly recommend the Walnut Room.

    The experience was good. My friend and I participated in restuarant week. The menu consisted of mimosas, yogurt and fruits, chicken and ube waffle or smoked trout Benedict biscuit and house potatoes or cheeses. My friend got a mimosa and chicken and waffle. She said her food was good. I opted out of the mimosa for an ube Latte and got the trout benedict biscuit. The ube Latte was a little bitter... just a hint of honey or sugar would have done it, but my request to switch out was granted and I appreciate that more than anything. Oh and the Busman offered us sparkling water or regular. That was a nice touch as my choice was sparkling water and it was refreshing. The Busman and the Waitress were really nice and pleasant. My trout Benedict was good. No extra seasoning was needed, as well as the salad that accompanied it. The salad has a really great taste. It had a really great acidic touch. We both had house potatoes and everything was really good and filling. The jazz music provided a great vibe too. It was a really nice moment.
