I've been wanting to try Walnut Grill for so long. Now I'm kind of disappointed I didn't go sooner! First of all, the swanky atmosphere of the restaurant is very cool. We sat on the heated patio - which I'm actually grateful for since the "inside" restaurant seemed a little loud. You still get the atmosphere on the patio, but being able to visit with everyone at the table was nice.
We ate here on a Saturday, and it's really nice they still do a happy hour on the weekend. 5-7 is $3 drafts, $3 house wine and $5 Long Island Iced Teas. The drafts even include some craft options which was very nice!
The menu itself had so many unique items on it, it was hard to choose from. The meat and pasta entrees on average ranges from $15-$20 so i was a little tempted to choose a sandwich since that was a little cheaper (parents were paying and I always feel bad getting something on the pricier side) but I just had to try the Thai Pork Mac n' Cheese. It was delicious! Don't be fooled by the mac n' cheese title though - it's much more of an alfredo pasta dish. So delicious. I was full but kept eating because it was so good.
Everyone at the table was very happy with their food - some other dishes people got were the sweet & spicy chicken, fish tacos, gnocchi, greek pasta and sun-dried tomato pasta . The service is also super nice and helpful.
