This place was awesome we took a seat at the bar. Extremely good live music very nice and friendly staff. The food is fantastic I had the best mushroom soup I have ever had and if you are going definitely get the chocolate souffle. Everything was great from start to finish all the way from the valley to the bar service and back to the valet.

I would highly recommend this place over and over and over again. Came here for valentines and was not disappointed. Truly first class wonderful experience better than hotel fine dining and other fine dining spot I have experienced everything is just wonderfully fresh the price is reasonable. Will most likely come back

Classic atmosphere, great food, and excellent service. I have been a local resident for 20 years and have never had dinner at Wally’s before. I was told jackets and ties were required so I was never very interested. Well my wife and I wanted to do something different for our anniversary so we decided to give it a try. Well jackets are no longer required but most of the guests dressed up anyways. The ambiance was dated but not in a bad way, it felt like you were going back in time to experience real fine dining. Our servers were very pleasant and attentive and the “new” owner even stopped by our table to wish us well. Overall definitely worth the experience.

Started out with the Cesar salad, and it was not good at all. Their was no green to the salad used and even sorta brown on the edges of the centers of romaine. The dressing was horrible, and the chef thinks if you throw a couple anchovies on it, it makes it a cesar salad. I told the staff and the waiter didn’t even acknowledge it. I would suggest not ordering it and get the daily salad special as others in my party said it was good. I ordered the filet, which was cooked medium rare to perfection and a great cut of beef, but the crusted horseradish crust looked more like a patty of brown sugar than crusted horseradish. For the price and what I received, it was definitely not 5 star quality. We were there for a birthday and the two deserts we go were very good. The service was excellent. The staff was very attentive with refilling the warm bread and butter, keeping our waters filled, etc. Overall, there are much better steakhouses than Wallys. I don’t think we will go back.

Wally’s is superb. I’ve been a couple of times. Top-notch and attentive service throughout the dinner experience. Excellent food all around; I can think of very little to complain about. The atmosphere is semi-formal. I have been most comfortable dressing “fancy” however I’ve seen other patrons come in completely casual. Live soft music is a very pleasant addition to the experience and is particularly nice when sitting in the bar area. It is expensive to eat here but I feel it is well worth it.

Really a wonderful experience. Fabulous food, exceptional service, accountability with the owner making her rounds to each table and if you so desired, smooth jazz at the bar. Nothing not to like. (Oh. And valet parking!)

We chose Wally’s Desert Turtle for our important FMBK Saturday Evening Retreat Dinner. The Dinner at Wally’s Desert Turtle was amazing. Our servers, Ashley and Max took care of our group and were wonderful to work with, the dinner was spot on, and the room was stunning. Highly recommended.
