| - Came here with a whole bunch of girls on a Wednesday night due to their half-priced wine situation. Actually, we meant to go to Shady Grove but it was PACKED, so upstairs we trekked to Walnut Grill.
It's dim up there, and has a more formal vibe than shady grove. The half-priced wine was pretty good, we tried several of the bottles and they were all perfectly decent. I loved their spinach and artichoke dip, scraping the bottom of the ramekin as best I could to get all the tasty bits. Our server, who was very friendly and cheerful despite having to deal with such a huge group, recommended the California Pretzel Club. I have to say, it was pretty good. Dense, and filling, but I enjoyed it. The avocado spread was a nice touch. I couldn't finish it, though I made a good effort on the fries, but my boyfriend polished it off later.
As the evening progressed, they turned the music up - WAY up - I'd say by 9 pm we had to shout to hear each other. That wasn't very cool - it's Wednesday and you're serving dinner. People are here to have conversation, it's not a dance club. Sorry, but I'm old and crochety (at age 26) and I like to hear what my dinner companions are saying.
The entrees looked pricey, but apps and sandwiches are reasonable. I'd come back for more half-priced wine and a snack sometime.
