Kenya is the best there is! Absolutely wicked time celebrating my birthday. Highly recommend. The only issue was a friend had ordered the Caesar salad with shrimp, as she's a strict pescatarian. However, it came with some chicken. The servers were very kind and reasonable in wanting to amend the matter. Hoping we can have more options for other food sensitivities like GF, but otherwise this is the most magical place. You will get entertained for the gods, and dance with so much joy. I had the best time ever!

Maitre D sat us at a table by the window. He said the Waiter we were getting was very good. He was correct! The food came out hot and was very good. I had the famous chicken pot pie and my Mom had the meatloaf. It was my first time dining at the Walnut Room. I will definitely go back and have already recommended it to my Cousin.
