We always enjoy the Walnut Room when the Christmas tree is on display. The service is impeccable. The hostess who checked us in was very personable and funny - we enjoyed her. The food was outstanding. Wish we could have dined closer to the Christmas tree but were seated at a very nice table by two windows. All in all an exceptional lunch experience.

We love this place. Bar seats or formal tables or "special overlooking the kitchen" spots are all fun! The food and service is spectacular. Highly recommend for groups and date night! Joe Flamm is the man!
