This was me and my daughter’s first time dining at the Walnut Room. The giant Christmas tree is the first thing you see when you walk into the restaurant, it was stunning. Our server was amazing, he kept an eye or our table, I can say my water glass was never empty. I had the chicken pot pie and my daughter had the Walnut Room burger. Everything tasted very good. Our server Lex also made some dessert recommendations and it didn’t disappoint.
