| - For all who are unaware, if you go to Walnut Grill's website and sign up for their mailing list you will receive a coupon for a free dinner or lunch entrée for your birthday. It's a pretty sweet deal so of course I wanted to take advantage of this offer on my birthday. We went here for a late lunch after seeing a matinee movie at the nearby cinema.
The restaurant has a lovely outdoor seating area, and it was a nice afternoon to eat and drink outside. For lunch I opted for the Salmon Balsamico. It came with marinated roma tomatoes, goat cheese, basil, balsamic reduction. I kind of think goat cheese, or any cheese on a piece of fish is let's say fishy to me so I scraped it off. My husband got the same thing adding some sweet potato fries and myself a side salad.
Service was pretty good, our waitress was attentive, and we didn't wait long for refills. Our food came out with a normal wait. I think my husband liked his salmon more than I liked it. It was cooked well, just thought it could have been seasoned a little better, and the goat cheese, though scraped off lingered on the fish. I love goat cheese, just not on expensive fish. If it has cheese on it, it should only be served at a fast food restaurant where you may make claims that it's not real fish. Speaking of expensive, I thought their prices were a little high verses their portions. I hate to kick a gift horse in the mouth, but kind of true.
Nevertheless, we had a very nice afternoon at Walnut Grill and was even given free desert a walnut ice cream ball. This was much more of a treat for my husband than myself since I believe I had a bite or two and he gobbled the rest of it down. Very nice touch to end my epic birthday weekend.
