    We closed out the Green Scene Year on New Years Day to listen to music and enjoy the tasty food and…read moredrinks before they close until spring. I loved my Hot Bourbon drink with a nice hit of cayenne butter and a few other tasty additions the Gin and Tonic was amazing as usual. I had the Carnitas Pizza (crisp crust, well prepares Carnitas and fresh greens) and Wild Rice Mushroom Soup. (Deep flavors with nicely done Wild Rice.). We started with the bacon wrapped dates (perfectly sticky) and the White Bean dip (tasty and crisp veggies includes watermelon remediates, yum ). This remains my favorite spot in the area, worth the drive for sure.

    I came here for lunch with my family while on vacation from Iowa and Arizona. I'm not sure when…read morethey opened but I can't believe this was our first time here, we have been coming to Walker for many years. The decor, service, food and drinks were 10/10. While we waited for a table to open up we ordered some drinks at the bar. We tried their espresso martini, watermelon crush, paloma and their cabana banana old fashioned, all were beautiful and delicious. The watermelon crush had a nice spice, this was my favorite cocktail. My husband and I shared the wild rice mushroom pizza, not a crumb left! It was fantastic. The kids had a cheese pizza, not a crumb left again, they raved about their fire oven pizza. My brother in law had their classic turkey salad, he said it was the best salad he's ever had. Everything looked and tasted so fresh. Even their ranch was amazing, I asked for a side of it for my pizza. Yes, I love ranch with my pizza :) We will definitely be coming back next summer, I will be looking forward to this!

    We came in & were asked if we were there for the music. Our faces must have reflected confusion as…read morethat was followed by "Did you know there's music tonight?" We, in fact, did not know & answered such. We were seated immediately with a run down on the gent that would be taking the stage shortly & a run down on how the blue oyster came to be... because they grow blue oyster mushrooms. Speaking of, the blue oyster mushroom app is NOT to be missed. I'd come back for that alone. As a matter of fact, I tried to today on the way home but they're closed Sun. Service was friendly & leisurely. We both ordered cocktails & both agreed that we wouldn't again. $8 was a reasonable price & they did use decent liquor in them. They just weren't really our kind of drinks, a bit too sweet & colorful for our bitter tastebuds. As I mentioned, the mushroom app was FANTASTIC & I'd highly recommend it. I opted for the Cajun Pasta - very good, creamy, cheesy sauce - tho very Norwegian spice level. I'll call it Norw-ajun vs Cajun. The hubs had the fried rice. It was a solid dish. We were overly full with the 2 dishes and an app. We agreed that next time we would order the app & 1 dish to split, no cocktails - or at least not any off the featured menu. All in all, we found pricing reasonable, food to be tasty, drinks would be a hit for many & service good but not fast. Glad we found it!

    Good food, easy downtown location on the second floor of a historic building. The appetizers we…read moreordered were delicious - Chicken Parmesan soup, Caesar salad, Moo Ping. The salmon was decent, if a little overcooked. Service was very friendly, but slow. I'm not sure if they're understaffed, but it definitely took some waiting to take orders & get us food. Would try again.
