The Walnut had a good reputation and some write ups as far as I knew. Having never been to Royal on the Park I hadn't the chance to examine it. I took a date there as the menu seemed interesting and it had recently received a very good review. What a let down. Let me jump forward and say that the food was excellent, even though my fancy fish of the day appeared on an oversize plate.
We're talking a plate resembling an A3 sheet of paper in dimensions. The fish was dressed in foam (also a feature of a dessert) and was accompanied by various tiny tidbits of other food. It was a work of art, but more so, absolutely delicious and spot on in cooking. I rarely have fish steaks that are the texture and warmth that I like and I was blown away by this.
My dessert was the tiramisu, also assembled like art work, each element carefully balanced on the plate. It was delicious too. The service was bouyed by an energetic older waiter (I do like those) who excelled in his role and left us wanting for nothing.
My complaint is solely on the setting. Unfortunately, this can be the way with hotel restaurants. As we stood waiting to be seated, we were in the view of the lobby walkway and guests toing and froing in their shorts and thongs while we were dressed up. People walking around with their luggage. Inside as well, not too much of a dress code and the buffet was on, so people getting up all the time, a very casual feel. Not at all in keeping with the tailored, upholstered, intimate surrounds we were in.
In this regard too, the price point was therefore dear. I felt like I was fine-dining at a family restaurant, and therefore the $30-40 mains seemed out of place.
