    We came for our anniversary, which is usually an occasion where we hold out for nicer, more upscale restaurants. This place turned out to be a little more casual than we were expecting, which isn't a bad thing, just not what we were expecting. There seemed to be a company party happening in the restaurant, which caused a lot of noise to carry throughout the restaurant. The atmosphere was more reminiscent of somewhere like Olive Garden. So, it's not bad, just not what we expected. Our service was excellent, never having to wait long for each item and presentation was beautiful. The food was really good, especially the Burgundy Mushroom appetizer, as well as our entrees. I got the Honey Roasted Lavender Chicken, and my husband got the English Beef Rib. Both were pretty good. The beef rib reminded me of pot roast, and the chicken was definitely a honey roasted chicken, but still allowed for the floral-ness of the lavender to shine through. The cocktail we ordered was great. The slice of chocolate cake had a really good ganache frosting, but was ultimately a slice of chocolate cake, so maybe try one of the other desserts if you're looking for more of an experience. Overall, we enjoyed our time and would recommend anyone to try it at least once! Thank you, Black Walnut!

    I was extremely impressed by Black Walnut. Parking: As anyone knows, finding parking for a restaurant downtown is a pain. Black Walnut however has plenty of free parking. Greeting: We were greeted timely and sat and drinks were taken and brought back in a timely manner. Food: The food is to die, highly recommend paying extra for the steak. Environment: A very business casual vibe. The perfect vibe for a date. Service: We were checked up on constantly to make sure everything was okay.

    We really enjoyed our Dinner. It wasn’t overly crowded and service was great. I think the food was excellent for the cost. We had the fried green tomatoes, lobster bites, burgundy mushroom, beef ribs and the rack of lamb. We like the ribs and the fried green tomatoes most. Although, we would eat it all again.

    We were here 12 months ago and visited again because we loved it so much the first time. We were sorry we missed Darlene. Service was excellent and food was amazing again! The cocktails were not as good as the first time we went, however the overall experience was still amazing.

    Wow, great food. Service was excellent. Very modern environment. Exciting to have a wonderful restaurant. Looking forward to trying more from menu. We had the king salmon and the lamb rib. The salmon had crisp side with soft and moist texture. The lamb tasted great. Non-game. Tod, Shawnee
