Nice clean place with padded chairs and booths. Try to be NYC like, but why? Nice music Service is a bit rough and not the most attentive for a mid afternoon meal. Good salad, poor crab cakes, and ok toasted raviolis. All a bit overpriced. Solid 3 star place. read more

We went to Walnut Grill this Easter for their brunch. We'd never been, but Bristol and Holiday Inn was sold out, so we opted for WG. Everything went well! The food was decent, there were a good amount of options. I wish the food was hotter, everything was warm at best. Certain things like the Mushroom Chicken and Mashed Potatoes tasted slightly old, but the Prime Rib was shaved in front of me and was very fresh and tender. Plus, the salads were not bad and the Lobster Bisque was very hot. A bit of a toss-up food wise, but service was great. Catrice was our server/bartender and she was great. Overall, definitely overpriced and food could have been hotter, but everything was tasty and Catrice took good care of us. The inside of WG is a bit meant for older folks but is clean and comfortable. read more

We got French onion soup, lobster bisque soup, walnut salad and chicken ceaser salad with buffalo chicken dip as an appetizer. The service sucked. We never got our buffalo chicken dip until after our soup and salads were served and we had to ask about it. It wasn't even that busy and we were sat in the bar area. Took forever to get our check too. On the plus side the food was good; just the service was soooo slow. Very disappointing. read more

Had a really nice meal - great date place. The food is more elevated than your local Applebee's but not necessarily a true "foodie" place. They have really yummy cocktails, too. The buffalo chicken dip app was super yummy! We had great service which is as important as the food! read more

Posting my experience from April. I ordered a fish platter off the Lenten menu. The fish was amazing, great batter with the right about of crispness. Tons of seating arrangements for meeting up with large or small groups. The wait time from getting seated to getting food was lengthy but allowed conversations with my group. read more

I met some friends there, we had reserved a side room as there were 12 of us. Although the wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly they seemed to go away for longish periods of time after our food was delivered. I had the cranberry walnut salad. It was delicious! And a perfect light lunch. read more

Walnut Grill in SC is a nice place. It's setup for a great happy hour and after work libations meeting spot. I enjoyed the lunch special of burger and salad. I gigged them a star because the burger was ordered medium and arrived still mooing. Service was excellent. Past experience with Walnut Grill has always been good. Wish the WC location was still there. read more

The perfect date night dinner spot. The entrees range between $15 for a sandwich to $44 for the filet. The service was fast and friendly. My wife and I decided to just do rolls and pass on the appetizer even though they do have e a lot of choices that all look delicious. For dinner I had the Bellini Straw-Toni to drink and the Farfalle Chicken Pasta with the Chef Caesar salad as a side. My wife had a glass of the Pinot Noir to drink and the 6oz Filet Mignon with the Loaded Baked Potato as a side and she said they both were also delicious. They take all major credit cards. Terry was our waiter and he added to the experience. He was great. My rating : BEST read more

Our waitress was prompt and attentive. The options for lunch were many. My brother and I enjoyed our selections. The food was not only good but they were good size lunch portions. The tea was good and cold. For the money this was a nice lunch. read more

We went for Easter brunch. It was just ok. The variety was fine for breakfast, but they were missing biscuits and gravy which is a staple at brunches usually. I liked that they had a few order from the kitchen items, however, the omelets were not customizable. No mushrooms either. I missed an omelet station. The eggs Benedict came out looking delicious, however, the hollandaise sauce had an odd flavor. It seemed like someone put way too much Dijon mustard in it. The lunch offers were lacking too. No hot pasta, but a few different pasta salads which I found odd. The carved prime rib, mashed potatoes, and walnut salad were my favorite items. For almost 40.00 a person I would have liked better options and have had better variety at other places. I'm not saying we wouldn't go back, but it wouldn't be a first choice. I did appreciate the Easter decor and photo ops. read more

We had been regular weekly customers of Walnut Grill, so this review is especially disappointing to write. Unfortunately, this was the worst experience we've had here. We came in for happy hour, ordered appetizers and drinks, then placed a to-go order for the happy hour sliders and the farfalle pasta. The menu states the pasta comes with your choice of soup or salad. They were out of the soup of the day, so I asked if French onion soup was available. I was told yes, so I ordered it. When the bill arrived, we had been charged $9 for the soup. When we questioned it, the manager said the included soup only referred to the soup of the day, even though the menu simply says "soup" was one of the choices. We were also told the server had informed us there would be an upcharge. That never happened. The manager admitted the charge should have been a $4 upcharge instead of $9. When the conversation ended he started to walk away and we had to remind him to take the bill with him and adjust it. While waiting for the correction, we discovered our to-go sliders were made incorrectly. I specifically ordered them plain--meat and bun only. The receipt actually showed the order was entered as "no cheese, lettuce," which still leaves the aioli and mushrooms. The kitchen made what was entered, so the order was taken incorrectly. We were also charged full price for the to-go happy hour sliders. If happy hour pricing is dine-in only, that's completely fine--but the menu should clearly say so. It doesn't. During the discussion, the server even acknowledged that the menu is confusing. We disagreed. The problem isn't that it's confusing--it's that it doesn't accurately describe the restaurant's policy. What disappointed us most was the manager's response. Instead of taking ownership of the confusing menu and multiple mistakes, we felt our concerns were dismissed and we were told things had been explained when they had not. We don't expect perfection, but we do expect accurate menus, correctly entered orders, and honest communication when something goes wrong. As longtime customers, this experience has made us question whether we'll return. read more

I've eaten here several times and I'm always happy with the food and service. I've been here for lunch, happy hour and dinner. I've even planned team events in their private rooms, they are so good to work with. They have a great patio when the weather is nice. read more

We came for happy hour and sat on the patio. The patio is great. Well ventilated and it was cool on a warmer day. Which is very nice. We had a few appetizers. The potstickers and deviled eggs. The potstickers stole the show. They were perfectly cooked with a great dipping sauce. The deviled eggs were good. But just a little bland in my opinion. I had a blackberry mojito and my husband had an old fashioned which we both enjoyed. Great service and atmosphere!! read more

This is a great happy hour spot but a good place for brunch as well. I've been here many times but it's great for happy hour! I went with a friend and we enjoyed ourselves. Our server was so nice and helpful. We both had wine and appetizers at half off. I had the Brussels sprouts which were delicious and the pot stickers, my friend had the sliders. Nice open space and is a good gathering space. I lost track of taking pics because we were chatting. Sorry about that! We recommend this for happy hour definitely but they have a full menu which is varied and tasty. read more

We tried WG for the first time, and it was wonderful. We got takeout. The Brie and chicken quesadilla was fantastic. My husband got the lobster bisque and steak salad, and thought both were very good. We asked for medium rare on the steak tips in the salad, and they nailed it. I will definitely return. read more

Went to Easter brunch. Paid $121.00 including tip. We had one Bloody Mary and two buffet meals. Food was nothing but mediocre/ average. Service was same. Way too much $ for what we received. No thanks. read more

I do want to recognize something about the name, Walnut Grill. It really does have a nice ring to it, and I suppose the same could be said for the menu as well. Fairly priced food, creative recipes, and the logo is also chic and simple. It's a quiet, simple place for eating out. It's got everything a normal restaurant would-salads, wraps, burgers, pizzas, actually-isn't that a point of a grill? Nevermind, good nonethenless. Our server was a sweetheart. This place is possibly understaffed from what I could tell, but she was running and dashing everywhere like mad. She works so hard and still puts on a smile, a lovely staff member. It's too bad I never got her name. Food itself was average in my opinion. It depends what you order, actually. I'd recommend things on the pasta options, and the appetizers are also filling. Portions are big. Be prepared to share. Dessert made up for the basic food, and the portion for dessert was just right. It's exactly what I look for in a restaurant! Although being nothing but in the middle, I can consider that a good thing, please come with friends though. Seating is varied and you will also never finish anything by yourself! I did liked this place, but I don't think I will order the same as last time. I do hope my next visit is potentially better. read more

We went on Saturday morning for Brunch. Our server was very personable & did a OK job, even though she was also the Bartender. The food was OK, not great & not terrible, which was better than I expected after reading the reviews. I had the Creme Brulee French Toast and it was pretty good. My husband had the the Farmers Omelet and he said it was OK. My cousin had the Traditional Eggs Benedict and she said it was OK. Bathroom was dirty, which made me wonder how clean the kitchen was. Lots of free parking. They weren't very busy inside, which was nice for us because we stayed awhile to catch up with family. The patio was pretty busy when we left read more

Don't order the "prime rib" French dip! It was pathetic. I would estimate that it had only 3 ounces of meat on it. And the meat was such bad quality. Almost like it was little bits of meat, not slices. I wish I had taken a photo. And the au jus was awful. Tasted like it was made from a packet one might find at a grocery store, and super salty. There are other aspects of the restaurant to complain about, but I won't. Sad, because it's a nice looking restaurant with a killer patio. read more

I hate this place with a passion! The service here is terrible...the food is joke. But what gets under my skin more than anything is the terrible terrible service! Can we please get a manager that can properly run this place. Can we get good bartenders that are quick and can multi task.....if not one good bartender then get 2!!!! Sick of how this place can't get it together!!! read more

Wake up, gluten intolerant besties!! New fav gluten friendly restaurant just dropped! We passed by Walnut Grill multiple times a week and finally decided to eat here for a celebratory dinner. I was SO ecstatic to see an entire portion of their online menu dedicated to sharing specifically what is considered gluten friendly. While it is much smaller than the rest of the menu, there is more than just a salad that you can eat here. The food was delicious, and the drinks were a nice size for the price. My only complaint is that there were many servers (although we did go on a Wednesday night) and the server we did have was slow and did not check back often, so we didn't get any water refills, much less have an opportunity to buy a second drink. I'd definitely go back to try their other food! The atmosphere was cozy and we had the choice to sit inside or under their covered patio. read more

This place is a joke. It was not busy and we sat right beside the bar but somehow the bartender/server still couldn't keep up with our drinks. Food was cold. Server never asked about it and took the plate of full food without asking why. When i asked to talk to the manager they never came. Asked again and then finally admitted gm was on the line and wouldnt come out and agm was at the store. This is a crazy way to run a business. There's too many great places to eat to waste money on places like this. read more

Walnut Grille has great service and food at reasonable prices. We have been to Walnut Grille twice and both were good experiences. First we went for their Thanksgiving buffet. They had a wide selection of all the traditional foods: ham, turkey, a beef carving station, shrimp cocktail, green beans, mash potties, multiple salads and more- along with a yummy selection of desserts. Second, we went just for dinner both husband and I order filet mignon . Mine medium and his med/ rare . Both cooked to our liking. Sides we ordered: salads, pot pie soup, sweet potato fries. All good! The manager even stopped by our table to check on us and thank us for coming in! When I went to the restroom I over heard the manager telling an employee that they were doing a good job and thanking them for all their hard work! Walnut Grille was a pleasant experience all around! read more

Service is very good, not busy here on a Friday night, but maybe because the food is just mediocre. Steaks are medium rare, not medium; food is warm, not hot; baked potato tastes like it's been sitting awhile. Overpriced for mediocre quality. Ambiance is ok...music kinda loud considering the place is empty, at least the TV's have the basketball game on! read more

Manager brought out our entrees 30 seconds after our salads arrived. I had not had time to unroll my silverware and pour my dressing on. I understand this happens sometimes. The problem was the manager thought that this was normal or ok. He then mentioned he'd go ahead and put the entrees back in the "window" until we were done with our salads. Not the way a food and beverage restaurant manager should handle this situation. Hopefully training of both the food industry and customer service is in his future. read more

The Walnut Grill, at 10797 Sunset Hills Plaza off Lindbergh in Sunset Hills, offers some good American cuisine in a somewhat upscale environment. As with many other eateries, this place is a mixed bag. First, the good: - The menu is extensive and the food quality is pretty good. - Outdoor dining is really nice. It is in a shaded area far enough from Lindbergh so that road noise is not intrusive. - A spacious, free lot provides ample parking. - The wait staff is courteous, friendly, and efficient. - The restaurant decor is tasteful and well-done, and includes some contemporary art. Now, the not-so-good: - Indoor dining is a tad cramped. - This is definitely a "child friendly" environment, perhaps a smidge too friendly. You enjoy watching someone's offspring throw cookies on the floor, don't you? - The food portions seem to have been downsized, even as the price has gone in the other direction. My sister and I had lunch. Neither had anything to drink other than water, and we did not order appetizers or desserts. Nonetheless, the bill (counting a tip) came to almost $70. Neither you nor your wallet will come away feeling stuffed. Bottom line -- Nice for an infrequent business lunch or a Sunday brunch. Plan to eat outdoors (which, as noted above, is really nice) and bring plenty of money. read more

Service was fine. Ordered the lobster bisque. It was like warmed up out of a can. No flavor no lobster. Bad they should take it off their menu. My wife ordered the soup of the day... vegetable. It was so salty she sent it back. She never sends anything back. To replace it she ordered the toasted ravioli... it was just ok. No real flavor. Marinara sauce was ... well something out of a can. The wings were good... done well and crispy. We won't come back here. The place has potential but they need to up their flavor and food game! Sat outside on a very nice patio. None the less felt like we didn't get the value for our money. read more

We had to seat ourselves no one was around. After about 8 minutes another customer said they needed to be waited on. Only 6 customers in the whole restaurant. One manager a 5 workers. All were not visible. Finally our waitress came We ordered 2 Margaritas and 2 appetizers. After 30 minutes our drinks were sitting at the bar the whole time. Our food and Margaritas came with the food. She said we can have more chips if we want. We asked if we could have more chips. We reminded her twice and pointed we need our chips. We asked if we could have extra spinach dip for free because of the wait. And she said ok. We got them 45 minutes later and burnt. When we got the bill we we charged for the dip. She said I never said it was free. The manager came out and we told him about the poor service and wait and refused to give us our $6 dollars back. We will never go back again.

This was my third time eating here and second year at the Mother's Day brunch. The food was decent in the brunch and I felt like there was a good balance of breakfast and lunch food. The one thing that was disappointing was the lobster bisque. They should just not even offer it. We had two reservations and needed to add to our party. The young ladies at the host booth told us they weren't doing walk ins, only reservations that day. Meanwhile the restaurant was half empty and stayed that way the entire time, and this was the case last year. They couldn't find my reservation at first but when I showed them the email, miraculously, they had a place for me. After a few misunderstandings, it was a clear that they probably struggle with comprehension regularly, bless them. However, our waitress was fantastic. read more
