This is a fantastic restaurant in Monroe. The service was excellent. The smoked goat cheese with roasted apple on sourdough bread was absolutely amazing! I apologize for the photo showing just a single bite. I also enjoyed a beautiful blueberry mimosa.

It’s great to have a restaurant in the square where you can enjoy gluten-free options. The service was exceptional, and the dining area is lovely. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my meal; everything was vibrant and full of flavor. I highly recommend this place, even if you're unsure about gluten-free or vegan dishes. The staff was friendly and made me feel very welcome. I will definitely be returning!

My wife and I had lunch at the Black Walnut Kitchen today. The service, atmosphere and food were all great! I had the Black Bean BBQ Burger and my wife had the Vegan Jambalaya. I tried her Jambalaya and thought it was very good; really flavorful and I didn't miss the meat. The Black Bean Burger was one of the best sandwiches I had of any kind. It really delivered on flavor. It had two tasty sauces, guacamole, caramelized onions and slaw. We both had the dinner salad for a side. The Feta Dill dressing was delicious. Our waiter was friendly and very enthusiastic about the food and the chef.
