Don't Miss Chef Kaplan's New Summer Menu and Dinner Concept…

One Walnut offers a sophisticated atmosphere and extraordinary culinary experience reflective of Kaplan's commitment to make dining at One Walnut a special occasion every night. By intertwining traditional American basics with an international flair, the restaurant offers a broad selection of wines and entrees that can satisfy even the most selective of appetites. It's not only a favorite among locals, but has also been recognized on a national level and has been listed in Gourmet magazine's Guide to America's Best Restaurants.

Marlin Kaplan, owner and chef of One Walnut, named one of the top Chefs to Keep Your Eye On — Esquire magazine, Dec. 2000

  • One Walnut celebrates fine food, wines, services and the return of Marlin Kaplan to the downtown restaurant scene.

  • One Walnut has to be seen to be believed; it has to be touched, smelled, tasted and listened to.

  • One Walnut is an adult restaurant; a work of art, designed by Novus Architects' Barry Smith.

  • Table settings are classic: Fine crystal, china, linens and silver.

  • The menu is a joy to read: its descriptions are straightforward and uncomplicated.

  • The all-American wine list features about 80 vintage whites and reds selected by Kaplan and his staff.

 

One Walnut is where yuppies go after they grow up. It's New York City deco meets Wall Street — a bar done in woods & mirrors. In the extremely subdued dining room, after-hours business & pleasure is played out against glistening woodwork, pastel walls & opaque white light fixtures...

At glossy little ONE WALNUT, where the dining room is a small ode to steamship Moderne, chef Marlin Kaplan shows an instinctive grasp of his high-profile downtown audience — and then some. An engaging sense of humor informs modern Americana such as mussels Rockefeller with stout chunks of bacon, and even a grilled cheese sandwich du jour (with a cup of soulful tomato soup) is an event. But Kaplan's at his best when he's playing the midwestern homeboy. His pan-roasted walleye on a shellfish risotto puts the “great” back in the Great Lakes.
