| - I had lunch here the other day. This is the second location of Walnut Grove for the "Walnut Tree" restaurant group. The other is in Wexford and I'd have to say I like the other better. This one is very convenient being located close to my home in Fox Chapel. It's a pretty non-descript location and you'd probably not notice it if you didn't know it was there its in a strip mall next to Waterworks plaza. I got here on a Saturday around 2 PM to have a bite and watch some of the game. The place was pretty much populated with friendly locals and I was surprised to see relatively brisk business. It has a pretty big wrap around bar with a few high tops and plasmas. There also is a dining room in the back with tables and booths. The server was pretty friendly if a little bit slow. They have Guiness on tap as well as several other domestic and import selections. They also have a decent selection of bottles. I started and finished with Guiness. I ordered the chili (I think), it was pretty forgetabble in fact the only thing I really remember is that it was cold,,, I mean like guzpachio (sp?) cold. I then ordered the flank steak lunch portion which the server made a point of saying the chef recommends it cooked medium or less, which is fine for me since I typically order medium rare, which I did. It arrived pretty quickly and was very much overcooked,,, I mean burnt. What happened to the chef only recommends medium,,, meh', oh well I can't say much to how it would have tasted since it was pretty much just burnt dark matter to me. I think they had mashed potatoes also, which were okay I guess. I mean they were real and warm, so how hard is it is it to mess up. I didn't return the entree' because I didn't want to upset the server, since she was so nice, but next time I'll probably stick to beer and bar food.
