    I wish I had gotten the name of our waitress. She made our experience wonderful and we come every year to the Walnut Room since my children were little and they are now 20 and 17. Our waitress took one of the best pictures of our family at the tree, came to our table often refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything more. She was just so happy and joyful it really added to our experience at the table. She even brought us Walnut Room glasses at the end. We always have a good time at the Walnut Room but our experience this time was exceptional! I thanked her at the end as well, but please treat this waitress well and keep her because she is a shining star for sure!!

    We asked for a quiet table, and received one in the back room with a window to the kitchen--perfect. Excellent waiter, with great recommendations and service. We ordered too much, so couldn't come close to finishing it all. Breaded pickles with siracha aioli were outstanding, wedge salad very good (tho dressing was sparse), Gage burger was good, chicken biriyani was very flavorful but too much. Next time we'll split just one entree.

    My wife and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary at Girl and the Goat in Chicago, and it was truly a magical experience. This was my third time dining here, and it was by far the best experience yet. The food was absolutely incredible—hands down the best string beans and brussel sprouts I’ve ever had. The drinks were fantastic, and the attention to detail from the staff was spot-on. I also really appreciated the relaxed yet attentive atmosphere, making the evening feel special but comfortable. It was my wife's first time at Girl and the Goat, and she was equally impressed. Thank you to the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable. We'll definitely be back!

    Oakville Grill and Cellar: A Perfect Night Out My experience at Oakville Grill and Cellar was nothing short of amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—I couldn’t get enough of the hamachi crudo. Every bite felt like it was made with care and top-quality ingredients. The service truly stood out. Our server was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. They even helped us pick the perfect wine to go with our meal, which took the experience to another level. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food and service that makes you feel like a VIP, Oakville Grill and Cellar is it. I’m already planning my next visit!
