Very jammed packed inside! My chair was backed up another person's chair. The server could not even properly serve because he/she could not navigate around the chairs.

Went for Restaurant Week- and WOW ? from the moment we walked into their gorgeous dining room the staff was on point! I had the pan fried calamari, lamb, and soufflé. All were absolutely fantastic! My husband had the tuna tartare, Hercules filet, and the lava cake. Their lavender mocktail was delicious just like their old fashioned. Overall an amazing place for a romantic evening. Highly recommend, will return at 1st chance!

David was an outstanding server! Great recommendations!! Special calamari steak appetizer was just about the best I've had. I don't like sautéed spinach, but this was so darn yummy. The tuna tartare appetizer is our overall favorite. All deserts are great. We usually get soufflés, but I had the lava cake and it was in my top 5 lava cakes anywhere. What a great place to celebrate a special occasion. Wally's is truly a desert classic.

We had a wonderful dinner. The food was fabulous from the veal chop to scallops and salmon. Enjoyed first course to two different soufflés. Live music playing and the servers were all so friendly. It had been 15 years since we had been there and happy we were able to come back again.

One of finest happy hours and dining experiences we have had in a while. The hostesses greeted us with a smile, Tamara is an excellent bartender and very personable, and our waiters were amazing. The owner took the time to visit each table with a personal greeting. This is very rare this day in age. Truly a 5 Star dining experience... We will be back!!! Thank you!

I have on.y one negative, my husband has a walker and we didn't know where the ramp was and it's too far away from valet. We had to use the steps to the front door and then the steps to the main dining room. Very difficult for him. Need better access.
