The Walrus Oyster & Ale House 10300 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, MD 21044

"Dined in with the family at noon on a Sunday. We were given brunch menus but asked for the regular lunch/dinner menus as well...there's a lot of overlap between the two menus but some things like wings are missing from the brunch menu. The cornbread that is brought out to the table is awesome! It was a battle to not eat too much of it prior to the other food. Unlike most other crab dips that restaurants make, this one was loaded with big lump pieces. I also enjoyed the wings. Service was prompt and frequent, and the manager was visible and available to ensure everything was great."

"First time trying this place and was very pleased! They have a great menu with a variety of delicious options. Guava non-alcoholic mocktail is so good! We had the deviled eggs with oysters (2 of them substituted with shrimp), wings, and a lobster roll with fries. Cornbread is served to your table as well. Love the ambiance and staff were very attentive. We’ll definitely be back!"

"There are so many dishes from Walrus are our favorites, including lobster roll, fresh oysters, fresh seafood, and great section of wine and cocktails. But today we didn’t order these, instead we tried some dishes we have not ordered before: -chicken waffle: crispy, sweet, juicy, buttery -deviled eggs with fried oyster: fresh oysters, tasty eggs -wild mushrooms flatbread: cheese & flavorful -rose wine: crisp, dry, delicious -sesame tuna: fresh, the wasabi sauce was a perfect compliment to the seared sashimi Service: It was a bit disappointed due to couple of things happened during this visit: 1. when one of the waitress brought sharing plates to us, she had her entire thumb inside the plates, very unprofessional 2. The wrong dish was brought to us, shortly after the waitress took our order & and at that time they were not busy at all & we were the only table in the front area. Seems a management re-training of staff periodically is needed. Outside of what’s mentioned above , it’s highly recommended by @winedinenvacay, this is definitely a great spot with hip atmosphere to visit and hang out with friends & family."

"Dropped in for brunch on a Saturday, as out of state visitors, and really enjoyed the experience. They food was all really tasty and presented well. Service was friendly and attentive (thanks, Joe!). The atmosphere is clean and modern with a nod towards the bay. The menu is diverse but fitting, and I highly recommend the dip! You can make reservations with OpenTable on their website."

"The presentation is amazing. The dishes are creative and well done. The portions are considerate with the quality of food. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I felt that the flavors in the food were more subtle than I prefer. Everything was tasty, but it didn't leave me wanting more, except for the cornbread. That's sweet, delicious, and cake-like. I'm not an oyster fan, but according to my friend, the oysters were fresh and quite tasty."
