The hearth also serves as the heart of the restaurant’s experiences such as dining at the Hearth Table.

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.

Dined here to try restaurant and celebrate a birthday. Middle eastern food served tapa style is the vibe. Food was good not great. Pumpkin hummus with warm pita bread was excellent. Hamachi and chicken were good. Crispy potatoes and lamb chops were very good. Drinks were good also. Service is attentive and helpful. Ambiance is nice. Food doesn’t have me rushing back, but we had a good dining experience overall.
