    The walrus is a restaurant, bar and performance venue. It has a nice urban feel, namely it has a long, narrow floor plan with restaurant in the front of the bar in the middle and the stage in the back. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food is excellent.

    After enjoying a wonderful meal out with exceptional service and food, I had to leave a positive review! The smooth and chill environment complimented the fun time shared here with my family too. We are glad to have chosen The Walrus for a meal out.

    A nice place to visit before a show at the Ohio Theatre. It was an easy walk from the garage and to the theater from the restaurant. On this visit we had a group of 8 which we were easily able to make a reservation for online. They have a nice cocktail menu and beer list. We did have some cocktails that were ordered off the menu and they arrived in short and tall glasses so make sure you specify when ordering. Everyone enjoyed their meals but the star seemed to be the short rib dinner. Absolutely delicious!

    We had 7 of us and they handled the large group perfectly. I had a burger and it hit the spot. Very hearty and great taste. The fries are great. Others had the lobster roll and felt it was as good as anyone they have ever had. The other favorite was the Chicken hand breaded and 100% a favorite. The service was spot on and so friendly.
