The Walnut Restaurant Lounge Bar

Read Joe’s review on this restaurant that reminded me the experience that I had here couple of months ago. Remembered it was the second time within six months period to revisit this restaurant and incidentally it was the same as under 50% food bill off promo.We did not feel hungry so just order a seafood platter to share and two of the eye fillet with additional rustic chips. I always have no problem with its food preparation. This time was much better because there was no big group of parties so food and beverage came to the table within reasonable time frame. Love the seared scallops from the seafood platter and also love the quality of eye fillets too. Let me tell you, the hero is the rustic fries, the Rosemary salt is their good partner.Rating 4.5/5Previous rating: July 2019 4/5; Jun 2015 3.5/5

This is most definitely, one of the best restaurants, that I’ve had the pleasure to experience in a longtime ! The ambiance, decor and food, literally were all on point and the staff were absolutely outstanding in their manners and service. My beloved and good friend? had such a wonderful experience, that we will all be returning again and telling our friends about how amazing The Walnut truly is. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I can’t wait to be back and try other things on the menu.

Phuong Tran, Mum and I visit this Hotel restaurant for dinner. Back in the 80’s it was The Parkroyal Hotel. I am told Royal On The Park is now owned by the Sultan of Brunei. <br/ <br/ We are warmly greeted on arrival and PT sips on her Cosmopolitan while we decide on Dinner. It is a busy evening with over 30 patrons.<br/ <br/ Our beautifully presented Entrees are a surprise.<br/ <br/ Pan Seared Scallops are a serving of three fresh plump Scallops garnished with Salmon Roe, Speck and Apple Sauce. Rating: 5<br/ Crispy Pork Belly is a generous serve of tender roast Pork and Crackling. Rating: 5<br/ Barbecued Octopus tentacle is fresh, perfectly grilled and tender. Served with Green Rice, Tomato Pico, Olive crumb and Lemon, this dish is delicious. Rating: 5<br/ <br/ The Mains are served within 10 minutes. <br/ <br/ Fire Roasted Pork Cutlet is thick cut and tender, served atop whipped Mash and Sauerkraut. The Charcuterie Sauce is wonderful. Comfort food at its best. Rating: 5<br/ Pan Fried Huon Salmon looks nicely seared but is overdone. The Salmon is a tad dry and the Salmon Skin is soft, not crisp. Served with a Vegetable Nicoise and Salsa Verde this meal is disappointing. Rating: 3.5<br/ 300g Porterhouse Steak is perfectly grilled medium-rare, served with roasted Vegetables and a tasty Sherry jus. Perfect! Rating: 5<br/ <br/ We finish our meal with a Bombe Alaska. An enjoyable dinner and the friendly helpful service improves my overall rating to a perfect 5!

The atmosphere is nice, very old school and romantic.<br/ <br/ I had the fresh oysters and pan seared scallops as entree. The oysters were fresh and the scallops were well cooked, the sauce is balanced very nicely too.<br/ <br/ I had the ocean trout and a service of fries as main. The trout was cooked to perfection, very juicy and tender.<br/ <br/ Service was very good.
