  • My wife and I moved to Mt Lebanon in 2012. We love having so many good restaurants and bars within easy walking distance of our home. Perhaps most puzzling is how Walnut Grill manages to stay in business. Within weeks of our arrival we watched and experienced the quality going straight downhill. But I cannot say we were surprised by it. We know this often happens when a successful restaurant with one location expands to multiple locations. They can quickly become diluted down to the lowest common denominator, which in the case of Walnut Grill means a 20-plus minute wait for low quality, bland, overcooked and / or poorly prepared, over-priced food, served by unhappy employees who are managed by an equally unhappy GM, or so it appears. And now we're hearing rumors that Walnut Grill plans to add locations in other parts of the United States. Presumably so that they too can experience the splendor of their heinous food and slow service. We gave up hope a long time ago and would only visit for drinks, appetizers and the occasional burger, saving our more expensive outings for Bistro 19 and other joints. Eventually we stopped going to Walnut Grill altogether, saving our "bar food" outings for the always improving Saloon of Mt Lebanon (who by the way just ripped out their entire kitchen for a full upgrade, with upgrades coming to the menu as well). But last night, against our better judgment, we returned to an understaffed Walnut Grill for what will be the final meal we will ever eat there. As usual, it took about 20 minutes to get our food. My wife had the Greek Pasta, which was flavorless and dry. I had a cheeseburger cooked medium, which looked as if it had been placed in the middle of Washington Road and set on fire after being run over by numerous vehicles. I managed to detect a slight "beef" flavor underneath the layer of charred, burned-beyond-recognition crust of God-knows-what. If a restaurant can't make an $11 cheeseburger correctly, how can I trust them to make a House Cut Filet Mignon correctly? They should rename it the "Never Again Burger." We may go back for drinks at the bar but that is it, and only because of the excellent bartender, Kevin, easily one of the best in Mt. Lebanon, and certainly one of the best we've encountered anywhere.
