424 Walnut

The food here is truly amazing and it is so comfortable to have dinner The staff is amazing. And the owner is a joy to talk to. He will likely come over and greet you. My only negative is how much it costs to eat here. I can only afford to go for special occasions. Otherwise I would eat here alll the time

Stopped in for an impromptu round of wine on a Friday evening. The restaurant was pretty crowded and smelled deliciously like fresh seafood. The bar seating was completely full, but the bartender was quick to offer our group a nearby table to enjoy our wine. The staff were VERY friendly, the ambiance was warm and inviting, and the wine glasses were beautiful. With all of the people and the higher ceilings, it was a little loud in there. Wouldn't recommend for an intimate date night. At least, not on a Friday night.

My mom took me here for dinner a few weeks ago. She had been here before and said it was delicious. Well, she wasn't wrong. We started with some drinks at the bar while we were waiting for our table. We had arrived a little early and the owner was going to move some things around to seat us but we said we'd love to hang at the bar for a bit. The bar had such a cozy feel. I had the jackfrost and my mom had the fall sangria. Both delicious. The owner came over about 10 minutes later to let us know our table was ready. Our server was a wonderful young lady whose name is escaping me. She provided some great suggestions for the menu, she checked on us regularly and we wound up having a great conversation with her towards the end of the meal. We realized that my mom had a connection to the owner, so she brought him over and he was just as lovely, chatting with my mom. We had the beans and greens as an appetizer, excellent flavor and the sausage in it was so delicious! I had the salmon stuffed with crab...so flavorful! My mom had the double pork chop and said it was the very best pork chop she's ever had. Not to mention our meals came with a baked potato and mine also had asparagus. It was quite a large portion for the price, we both took leftovers home. We ended with the homemade bread pudding. This was some of the best bread pudding I've ever had, comparable to what you'd get in New Orleans. This was just one of those unexpected gems. The owner of this place also owns an Italian restaurant a few doors down, Mambo Italia. I can't wait to check it out!

Hubby and I needed dinner on short notice one Thursday evening and were delighted to find that 424 Walnut had a table available. The staff were friendly, the menu was varied, and we were soon tucking into a bowl of Italian sausage soup (him) and the crab cake entree with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The Dijon sauce and house Moscato were excellent touches. No room for dessert, unfortunately. Didn't try the restrooms. Street parking.

424 Walnut is a local restaurant that serves upscale foods in a more-casual setting. Examples of menu items are shrimp cocktail, mussels, steak salad, angus burger, lamb chops, veal piccata, crab cakes, stuffed salmon, and filet mignon. The restaurant also has menus for wines and cocktails. Please see my attached photos for some menus for October 2023. For my husband's and my 24th anniversary, I made a reservation for dinner. The restaurant's website had a reservation form to fill out. Later, the restaurant sent me two emails to confirm my reservation. On the day of the reservation, I decided that I wanted to move the reservation time from 7 PM to 6 PM. I called the restaurant's phone number a couple of times before an employee answered, and she courteously changed my reservation to 6 PM.My husband and I parked our vehicle on the street. I had not read about a dress code, so I wore a dress, and my husband wore dress pants with a polo shirt. Some other customers were wearing casual clothes.The seating hostess seated us at a comfortable and clean table. Our waiter spoke to us politely, timed the courses of the meal well, and checked in with us. One menu item that I wanted was no longer available, so I chose an alternate menu item instead.Here are my reviews for our foods and beverage:Bread - $0 - 5 stars - At the beginning of our meal, we received two types of breads, and we enjoyed their freshness and flavors.Crab hoezel - $18 - 4 stars - This appetizer contained a good amount of fresh crab. It tasted slightly sour because of a lemon and I assume vinegar.Seared tuna - $18 - 4 stars - The tuna was fresh and tasted smokey. It was accompanied with seaweed salad, pickled ginger, and wasabi. My husband commented that some tuna was shredded rather than cut neatly.Filet mignon - $38 - 5 stars - I ordered a 5-ounce filet mignon that was cooked medium. It was properly cooked and tasted nicely smokey. It was topped with flavorful mushrooms and scallions. On the side was rice that was cooked well and butternut squash that tasted sweet. Halibut - $45 - 3 stars - This halibut was fresh, but it tasted plain, despite being topped with jumbo lump crab and resting on top of spinach. On the side was the same rice that I had. My husband chose to not finish all of the halibut. We recommend adding another ingredient(s) to make the halibut more flavorful. Vanilla creme brûlée - $8 - 5 stars - This creme brûlée had the hard sugar on top as well as cream and a fresh blackberry. It tasted wonderfully sweet. Toasted coconut pie - $8 - 4.5 stars - This slice of pie tasted definitely tasted like coconut and had cream on the side.Apple sangria - $12 - 3 stars - This sangria was supposed to contain pinot noir, bourbon, syrup, and apple cider. I, however, did not taste any syrup or apple cider. The total price for our food and tax was $157. Of course, we also added a tip. In addition, the receipt said that the restaurant charges an extra 2.5% surcharge for credit cards.Please note that this restaurant also offers reservations for large groups and private parties as well as catering for events.

Would not recommend this place. Below average food. Not a great vibe inside. Hostess was not polite at all. Not going back.

This was not our first pick for dinner on Friday night but it was wonderful. The restaurant was packed but we got lucky with getting a table. We had the mussels appetizer...good not great. I would have loved some garlic bread with them. But our dinners were wonderful! We both had risotto, and I had scallops and my husband had chicken. Both had sooo much flavor and were great portion sizes.

Always love this cutie little venue. I must say I have always liked everything I have ordered. I was just there last night because another restaurant would not seat us for another hour. The Penguins were playing and it seemed when we arrived a ladies group or large family had come in and most restaurants here on Mondays are closed so Tuesday can be busy if no reservations not to mention a game. Rick was awesome (recommend him), and as a group we got to try a little bit of everything on the menu. Timing between courses and deserts, drinks and busy tables was great.

It is rare in my experience that you get everything you want in a restaurant. This place had all that's important to me and more. Great food, great service, perfect portions, perfect atmosphere. Likely the best meal I've had out in a very very long time. I had the stuffed shrimp. It was super flavorful, served hot, and cooked just right. The sides of potatoes and spinach were almost better than the shrimp. I also got to taste the veal piccata... fantastic. Dare I say we had some picky eaters in our group. Yet somehow, no complaints. Only praise of all the meals, and some great fellowship in a great place. You never know what you'll get when you bring a 91 and 89 year old with a 15 year old all in the same group. What we got was Lexi who could easily be working in the best New York City restaurant. Her caring service was constantly on point. But I don't mean to compare 424 to any meal I've had NYC or anywhere for that matter. It's better than that.

Frequented this establishment for Valentine's Day. Great ambiance, nice bar, lots of locals. Since they either don't possess a license or are restricted, the bar is lacking the typical friendly vibe like th Turn Club, Kaufman Tavern, or Domenicos has. Food was good. Not bad, not outstanding. Acceptable. Prices are a bit inflated compared to other local restaurants but it is downtown Sewickley. It was a solid mediocre experience.
