   Our waitress Jaya was outstanding and the food was excellent across the board. We had a really enjoyable meal and will definitely make The Walrus a regular dinner destination.

   I went here for dinner during Howard county's restaurant week. I ordered the oysters rockefeller, the steak frites, and the campfire smores. Everything was phenomenal! Dinner came with a complimentary glass of champagne for my birthday. I ordered a perfect storm and it was very tasty. Decided to treat myself and order the maria bonita as well... Idk if I, personally, would order that one again but it was pretty. This is definitely a drink I would consider a "one and done". Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I'll definitely be coming back. It's been a long time since I've eaten at a restaurant where I thought it was 100% worth it.

   We had a great "Date Night". Your restaurant will become our new Friday night spot.

   We were really disappointed with our experience tonight at Walrus. Our server was nice and apologetic but the drinks orders were painfully slow, as was the food. Even initially taking down our food order took ages and the decision seemed to be made to serve all the tables around us before us. I’ve been coming to Walrus with my family for the past 3 years or so and tonight I brought work colleagues and was so embarrassed to have made the recommendation to them. Disappointed!

   Great service from the entire staff at the Columbia location. Very impressed with the attentiveness from our entry all the way through to our exit of the establishment. Nice atmosphere and good food. A free birthday dessert was very appreciated as my daughter celebrated turning 18.

   We love coming here! We have a lot of family and friends from out of town and this is always our go to. The fact that the menu changes gives us so much more incentive to come more often! Our waitress is absolutely amazing, she was so kind and helpful! The food was absolutely delicious! If there was a con, it was, there was too much alcohol left over in our table side smore. I think that sounds not bad for some people but I don’t drink, I would get really strong bites of vodka. But honestly it was still delicious!

    The food was great. The server was a little busy although it didn’t seem too crowded, but he got the job done.
