| - We've been visiting Walkers wine bar and grill for several years. They came under new ownership a year or so ago and I have to say the quality has gone downhill since then.
Last night I visited with my husband and son. We had purchased a Wagjag coupon for oysters and 2 glasses of wine, so we decided to make an evening of it.
We were approached as soon as we walked in to the restaurant and seated right away by a friendly hostess (she appeared to do more than just hostess, so maybe a manager).
Our waitress approached us right away and as soon as I mentioned the Wagjag, she went to get our wine and oysters. The waitress was very friendly and efficient. We also ordered calamari, which she brought quite quickly.
The oysters were fresh and delicious and the wine, which was a house pinot grigio was very nice. The calamari was very good and served with a sweet chili sauce. Our only complaint about this course is that the sauces served with the oysters were all fairly sweet. We would have liked some freshly grated horseradish (instead of a seafood sauce) and some sort of hot sauce. Otherwise, this whole course was great.
For entrée, I ordered grilled snapper which came with veggies (peppers and asparagus) and a gratin potato (sort of a patty). The snapper was very overcooked and dry. The veggies were crisp and fresh and the potato was delicious. The snapper had an orange sauce which was quite tasty. Unfortunately the snapper ruined the dish as it really was quite bad.
My husband ordered the surf and turf which was a lobster tail (1/2 lb.) with an 8 oz. NY strip and veggies and potatoes. The steak was blue rare as ordered, but the lobster tail was overcooked and rubbery. The veggies and potatoes were both very good.
Our son had the surf and turf burger without a bun and with the lobster on the side (he's allergic, so that was for us to enjoy). The shredded lobster served on the side was quite good, moist and tasty. The burger was very dry, but the fries were (according to our son) the best ever.
I'd like to give this restaurant 2.5 stars, but that's not possible so I'm rounding down. I feel that since this is a seafood restaurant, the thing that should be outstanding is the fish and seafood and other than the oysters, this is what let us down.
We purchased 2 Wagjag vouchers, so we will definitely be visiting again and I will update my review if we have a better experience next time.
The waitress was excellent, so there's definitely no complaint there. She also removed the calamari from our bill to help compensate for the overcooked fish and lobster.
On another note, when we used to visit, they allowed us to bring our own wine with free corkage on Sundays. Shortly after the new owners took over, we brought our own wine (unaware there had been a change in ownership) and were told that "we'll allow it this time, but will charge you $15. In the future it will be more expensive."
