    We went here after getting married at city hall and the staff made this such a wonderful experience! They put flowers at our table and wrote us a handwritten card with complimentary Prosecco. Great service and food, and they were accommodating to our party of 12. Would recommend to anyone!

    We had a lovely experience on Valentines Day. the food was excellent and our server was outstanding - she was incredible attentive and did a wonderful job throughout the night. She was also amazing with my food allergies - she personally went to the kitchen and double checked that everything we ordered was free of my allergens and continually reassured me throughout the night that everything was free from them. This was particularly meaningful to us because just the night before I had an incident in another restaurant that caused a severe reaction, so both my boyfriend and i had been nervous about dining out again so soon after but didn't want to give up this reservation we had been looking forward to for a month. Our server made our night - that's the type of service that's sets restaurants apart. It would have been nice if one drink had been included in the set Valentines menu price since it was $150, but it wasn't a deal breaker for us. Highly, highly recommend Grill on 21 and we will definitely be back!

    I took my mom for a Valentine's Day lunch. We went around 3 PM, and even though my reservation was at 3:30 PM the staff were nice enough to let me in. Granted it was a low volume of people eating at the time. We were sat near the windows which added to the ambience of our visit. The music made it feel like we were in an old fancy jazz club. I had the French onion soup and the chicken sandwich while my mom had the Walnut turkey club sandwich. Both sandwiches came with well seasoned fries. The food was delicious and our waitress, Annette, was very attentive and sweet. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely go again. I would highly recommend the Walnut Room.

    The experience was good. My friend and I participated in restuarant week. The menu consisted of mimosas, yogurt and fruits, chicken and ube waffle or smoked trout Benedict biscuit and house potatoes or cheeses. My friend got a mimosa and chicken and waffle. She said her food was good. I opted out of the mimosa for an ube Latte and got the trout benedict biscuit. The ube Latte was a little bitter... just a hint of honey or sugar would have done it, but my request to switch out was granted and I appreciate that more than anything. Oh and the Busman offered us sparkling water or regular. That was a nice touch as my choice was sparkling water and it was refreshing. The Busman and the Waitress were really nice and pleasant. My trout Benedict was good. No extra seasoning was needed, as well as the salad that accompanied it. The salad has a really great taste. It had a really great acidic touch. We both had house potatoes and everything was really good and filling. The jazz music provided a great vibe too. It was a really nice moment.
