Sigh.. I wanted to love it here. Don't get me wrong, its ok, it's just not what i thought it was going to be. To be fair, this was our first time here. It is our 7th wedding anniversary and I wanted to go somewhere special and kind of upscale. Well, that wasn't quite what we got at Walnut Grill.
The place is nice, clean, and cool looking. The bar looked great but we didn't sit over there; we sat in the dining room. The waitress was friendly enough, never asked us if we had any questions about the menu and when I asked a question seemed kind of annoyed. We got the Ahi tuna appetizer, which was decent, kind of meh. My husband got a Cesar salad, which was crispy and very good. For my entree I got the crab cakes, which were jump lump but small and the sauce was lacking flavor, the veggie were soggy, like they had been microwaved and a little cold and the rice pilaf was so bland I didn't even bother eating it. My husband got the rack of lamb, which he really liked! It was juicy, tender and perfectly cooked. His veg was soggy too but he got smashed potatoes that he enjoyed.
For our anniversary they did give us a free dessert which was very yummy. It was funnel cakes with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate and raspberry drizzle. The funnel cakes were hard and over fried, but good none the less.
This places menu reminded me of Andora in Sewickley but the food is no where near as good. Next time we'll likely go to Andora, same sort of food, similar prices, better service and waaaaay better flavors!
