    We had an excellent meal and experience at the Walnut Grill! The mushroom chicken was outstanding. Ask for the harvest rice. It’s not on the menu, but it took this dish to the next level! Drinks were delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive. Thanks!

    It was ok. The drinks were very good. I tasted a few of our tables dishes. I thought some was over seasoned (one with too much garlic (and I am no garlic hater)) some under seasoned and all generally not up to par at the price charged. Scallops were over cooked. Steak was under cooked (but fixed perfectly upon sending back so kudos to the kitchen for that). It seemed like maybe they were trying to make up for quality by giving larger quantity so if you are looking for large dishes you may be pleased. Had breakfast here the next day. Coffee was very nice. The spinach and artichoke scramble read like it'd be great but the artichokes were very acidic which threw off the whole dish - disappointing at $20. Great views of Oakland and staff was very attentive. It's nice place to eat a meal; not a destination for fine dining.
