Just a good restaurant. Overpriced for the food you get. Had a 3 course meal, nothing was impressive. Good quality but nothing better than a regular Chicago Steak house for double the price

I wish I had gotten the name of our waitress. She made our experience wonderful and we come every year to the Walnut Room since my children were little and they are now 20 and 17. Our waitress took one of the best pictures of our family at the tree, came to our table often refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything more. She was just so happy and joyful it really added to our experience at the table. She even brought us Walnut Room glasses at the end. We always have a good time at the Walnut Room but our experience this time was exceptional! I thanked her at the end as well, but please treat this waitress well and keep her because she is a shining star for sure!!
