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.

A must go to for a yummy brunch! A couple of my girl friends stopped here on a Saturday and got food and delicious apple cider mimosas! The food is always fantastic with great taste and presentation. The coffee is also delicious. Everything I have tried here has been great. I recommend it to everyone!

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.
