I've been to Walnut Grill several times and it has always been on point whether in terms of quality of service, food, drink or ambiance. The have a nice wine selection including some local options I usually like to go with what the server recommends. The flash fried brussel sprouts are my favorite. I'd also recommend the vermicelli with white wine garlic sauce. For lunch, they offer this "pick a pair" combo, where you can pick from salads, soups or half a sandwich. It ends up being a really filling meal. Walnut grill hasn't failed to consistently provide a satisfactory experience on different occasions whether with friends, colleagues or on a date, but it's been just that - satisfactory. I haven't yet had my mind blown with any aspect of the experience, whether something I've eaten or something else. I also don't think their menu has changed in the past couple of years. It's just that I like this place.. but I think I've gotten bored with it.
