I had a fantastic lunch at The Walnut! 🌟 The mahi tacos and cold soba noodle salad were delightful - fresh flavors that really hit the spot. We were pleasantly surprised by the great happy hour deals too!

The atmosphere is casual yet trendy, perfect for a quick bite or a longer stay. Our server, Jamie, was super friendly, adding a personal touch to our experience. I also tried the Five Cities Bikini Bottom beer, and wow, what a refreshing choice! 🍻

If you're in Des Moines, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't be disappointed!
