Editorial Review for One Walnut – by John Hyduk

The Scene
The latest effort from famed Chef-restaurateur Marlin Kaplan attracts starry-eyed locals who would pay to watch him open Spam cans. You couldn't ask for a more laid-back setting--a black stone and brushed-steel clubhouse dominated by a round art-deco mirror and stiff martinis. The diners are comprised of investment bankers, dine-hard foodies and assorted beautiful people fueling up before or after an evening on the town.

The Food
Even Kaplan's simple hash recalls a stunning hybrid of Midwestern roots, Asian temples and island breezes. The Tuscan grilled veal chop wanders from the Milanese classic via a citrus-sauce splash, and a five-spice duck breast boasts egg-drop broth and sausage. Sometimes Kaplan goes over the top (an over-easy egg and pasta carbonara, for example), but the usual destination is platter heaven, as in roasted chicken with bay leaf and figs, or a really great burger. And who could resist an appetizer called Long Island Big Hair Tuna?

We dined at One Walnut Restaurant last week and I am not one to post reviews but I had to with this one. We had an incredible experience – everything was first class. The food was amazing – the menu is set up in courses so you can enjoy a variety of foods and the serving sizes were perfect per course. We are wine lovers and the wine list was impressive. The service staff was professional, personal and attentive yet not over the top and the atmosphere was cozy and trendy at the same time. The evening was perfect – I am recommending this place to everyone I know. One Walnut is not to be missed – definitely the best restaurant I have been to!

Pros: EVERYTHING WAS EXCEPTIONAL

Cons: NONE

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Restaurant was very understaffed and disinterested. We waited at the bar and could not get the bartender to wait on us, even though there was hardly anyone there. When she finally did, she wouldn't get us a drink menu because they weren't readily available. The hostess was very rude and we waited nearly an hour despite having a reservation. Our waiter was very unattentive. I expected much better service for the price.

Cons: Service
