    Crab cake with mashed potatoes and asparagus
    Kristen E.

    Hubby and I needed dinner on short notice one Thursday evening and were delighted to find that 424 Walnut had a table available. The staff were friendly, the menu was varied, and we were soon tucking into a bowl of Italian sausage soup (him) and the crab cake entree with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The Dijon sauce and house Moscato were excellent touches. No room for dessert, unfortunately. Didn't try the restrooms. Street parking.

    Desert Alert: Only the best mascarpone!!

    Always love this cutie little venue. I must say I have always liked everything I have ordered. I was just there last night because another restaurant would not seat us for another hour. The Penguins were playing and it seemed when we arrived a ladies group or large family had come in and most restaurants here on Mondays are closed so Tuesday can be busy if no reservations not to mention a game. Rick was awesome (recommend him), and as a group we got to try a little bit of everything on the menu. Timing between courses and deserts, drinks and busy tables was great.

    This was not our first pick for dinner on Friday night but it was wonderful. The restaurant was packed but we got lucky with getting a table. We had the mussels appetizer...good not great. I would have loved some garlic bread with them. But our dinners were wonderful! We both had risotto, and I had scallops and my husband had chicken. Both had sooo much flavor and were great portion sizes.

    My mom took me here for dinner a few weeks ago. She had been here before and said it was delicious. Well, she wasn't wrong. We started with some drinks at the bar while we were waiting for our table. We had arrived a little early and the owner was going to move some things around to seat us but we said we'd love to hang at the bar for a bit. The bar had such a cozy feel. I had the jackfrost and my mom had the fall sangria. Both delicious. The owner came over about 10 minutes later to let us know our table was ready. Our server was a wonderful young lady whose name is escaping me. She provided some great suggestions for the menu, she checked on us regularly and we wound up having a great conversation with her towards the end of the meal. We realized that my mom had a connection to the owner, so she brought him over and he was just as lovely, chatting with my mom. We had the beans and greens as an appetizer, excellent flavor and the sausage in it was so delicious! I had the salmon stuffed with crab...so flavorful! My mom had the double pork chop and said it was the very best pork chop she's ever had. Not to mention our meals came with a baked potato and mine also had asparagus. It was quite a large portion for the price, we both took leftovers home. We ended with the homemade bread pudding. This was some of the best bread pudding I've ever had, comparable to what you'd get in New Orleans. This was just one of those unexpected gems. The owner of this place also owns an Italian restaurant a few doors down, Mambo Italia. I can't wait to check it out!

    I really enjoyed eating out at a nice spot! I'm new to the area and Sewickley is definitely a place I want to come back to! I found a spot right out front, super lucky! And we had reservations so we were seated right away. We ordered a bottle of wine and each of us ordered a steak. The steak was beautifully cooked. Only thing is it needed just a touch of seasoning. Because of Covid, no salt or pepper on the table and I definitely could have asked but it truly felt like I would have offended the chef by asking so I didn't! The other really weird this was that when we first came in, they took our temperatures and it looked like they were providing ample space between customers and then, with empty tables, they sat a party of three right next to us. I was really surprised by that, it didn't seem like the best move. It was a really nice meal and I would happily go back any time!

    Red snapper with jumbo lump crabmeat and sautéed spinach
    Christina C.

    Cozy, welcoming, lively atmosphere with excellent food and service. That's what you'll get when you visit 424 Walnut. I had the red snapper with lump crabmeat and opted for sautéed spinach (in lieu of baked potato)- this was a fantastic combination. The stuffed banana peppers were perfectly spicy and stuffed generously. The beans and greens were cooked well but needed a touch more salt to bring them to my taste. My only regret was that I had no room for the toasted coconut pie. So I'll have to return sooner than later.

    This is by far our favorite restaurant. Everything from the staff to the location to the decor is high class. We always feel at home here with amazing dishes and personable conversations. My advice to you is don't skimp on trying the menu! Get an app, get a meal, get the dessert and try the drinks! All are wonderful. Everything tastes authentic and comes in large portions. If there were 10 stars, we would rate it a 10! At times you can get away with out making a reservation, but if I were to recommend this restaurant to a friend or family, I would recommend you secure your spot and get one. Don't wait! Try this spot if you haven't already!

    I understand that there is no exact script that I should expect to have followed from one server to another when dining out . Some tend to be more welcoming, and friendlier, than others. Totally understood that serving others can be unpleasant from time to time. However, what I do not like to see or experience, from a server, is one who is not very welcoming, and appears disinterested with the table of patrons being served. The service received today falls into this category. I have had more enthusiastic service at McDonald's. Today's service fell short for the following reasons or voids. Not greeting your customers. Not taking the beverage order within a reasonable amount of time . ( Avoid reacting negatively when alcohol is not chosen) Do not act annoyed if you are asked to repeat the descriptions of today's specials. No apology for a seemingly soiled napkin that was asked to be replaced. Not following up with your table to see if anything else was needed . No offer for desserts, more water etc.. Service was the ho hum of my 1st outing here. Bare basic. However, food, atmosphere, portion size, and dining companions were fantastic with a capital F. I honestly cannot wait to return, but I certainly hope it will be with a more in- tune server.

    The service by Brandon G was AMAZING. Super friendly and he went above and beyond. When I said the…read morewedding soup was meh, he offered to replace it with something else, but I said it was fine. Not bad. Still edible. Later, when he asked about the manicotti & I said it was amazing, he asked if it was better than the soup. I said it was much much better and that I knew next time I visited I'd get the Caesar salad instead of the soup. He said he'd bring one to go, since their Caesar dressing is amazing. I said that wasn't necessary, but he brought one anyway. Wow. Portions are very large (without the extra salad, my manicotti would still be three meals for me) & the food is delicious. I like the look of the restaurant and was surprised to see that they had TV's & a bar. Much nicer than I expected given the location.

A couple of us were really excited to try the chicken parm, but we were quickly disappointed by the lack of flavor (very, very bland) and how thick the pieces of chicken were. Our server was very attentive when we first arrived, but as our meal went on, she was no where to be found for drink refills, to check in, etc. In fact, we had to wait a good 20 minutes after we were finished eating for her to appear so we could ask for the check. Choosing to eat here ended up being a regret and waste of money. We spent over $100 for a meal that I honestly could have done a better job cooking at home...and I'm not even that great of a cook! Needless to say, we won't be back and don't recommend wasting your time and money here.

    This is rare I leave a bad review…read more Went in for the first time for 2 drinks. I asked if they had a specialty cocktail menu, waitress advised no, but she could make whatever I wanted. She offered to make a chocolate martini I said ok that sounded good. My husband ordered a beer. Two minutes later. The waitress came back, and asked what we wanted to order. We were so confused . We ordered again acting like she didn't just take our order 2 minutes ago. I actually ended up changing my order and asked if they had a "house" pilot grigio. She said yes. She asked if we were going to order food and we said just drinks tonight. 5 minutes pass and she brings a large appetizer to our table. I said we didn't order this. She asked if we talked about it though . We said "no" we were never ordering food. I was so taken back by this experience I wanted to cash out after our drinks. I headed to the bar and asked for our bill. We were going to leave cash and leave because the whole situation was very uncomfortable. (Thinking 20 would be enough for the drinks and tip) We finally get the bill and the house wine is on there along with the beer. The total was $37 for 2 drinks. How can a house wine be $17 for a glass? As we left, the whole situation didnt sit right with me. I called later to ask how much a glass of house wine was and the person that answered stated $9.

You'll be required to find street parking, with the most convenient options being to pay for a parking space on the street nearby. (There is also free street parking but you may have to drive around a bit to find a open spot) We had a table of 6 dining here around 5pm on a Friday. We met part of our group there, and they were already seated, so I don't believe waiting for a table was an issue (even for a party of 6). Once seated, our waiter was prompt and attentive and we also had who I assume to be a manager check-in with us. So no complaints about service. Our waiter took our drink order, appetizer order, food order and provided refills on drinks promptly/reasonably. All of our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals but my wife had the shrimp fajita and I had the rodeo burger (without BBQ sauce, I just wasn't in the mood for BBQ sauce but all of the other toppings sounded yummy - Gouda cheese, bacon, crispy fried onion, and chipotle aioli). Both are pictured. Overall, I'd recommend going here if you aren't bothered by street parking. The service, atmosphere, and food were solid.
