The chicken schnitzel was not good. Over cooked and barely any meat. The martinis were over priced. They charged $27 per martini that are served in a coupe glass. When asked about the price they said each martini is charged as a double and it’s extra for blue cheese olives. Hard to believe when ordering a dirty martini that the bill would show as a double martini and each one was $27. That is way over priced and the food was over priced

Our server Libby made us feel welcome and comfortable. She answered our questions about wine pairings and menu options. Super knowledgeable and helpful.

The celery salad was good.
My steak came out and was so salty that I still taste it over an hour later.
I boxed it up and left. Tried giving it to my dog and he tried a bite and spit it out then drank all of his water.
Not sure if that was planned, but there is no way anyone could enjoy that much salt.
But yeah. $90 out the door for a salad and a rib eye I will throw away.

We have enjoyed this restaurant and celebrated many birthdays at Hattaways in the past.However, today my husband and I were very disappointed in the disengaged server who lacked knowlege of the menu. Our guest had a food alergy and the server was unable to sugest a suitable substitute. The cocktail tasted horrible as well. We will not come back.

Excellent meal! We were seated close to the front door and it was a little cold but amazing food and service. We had the sticky ribs, celery Parmesan salad and pecan steelhead.
Would highly recommend this restaurant.

A great place. Highly recommend the chicken and grits. And we'll be talking about that celery salad for years.

In a town known for its fine wines and small-town charm, Hattaway's on Alder brings something unexpected — a taste of the South polished with Northwest finesse. Tucked just off Walla Walla's main drag, the restaurant hums with the low, steady confidence of a kitchen that knows exactly who it is and what it wants to say.
The evening begins with a plate of Frog Hollow tomato salad, a vibrant ode to late summer - thick slices of sun-warmed heirloom tomatoes glistening with olive oil, finished with just enough salt and herbs to let their natural sweetness sing. Alongside, the sweet corn beignets arrive like little golden clouds, crisp on the outside and tender within, served with a touch of honey butter that walks the line between indulgent and irresistible.
Salads here are far from an afterthought.
The celery Parmesan salad is a masterclass in restraint - cool, crisp ribbons of celery tossed with shards of nutty cheese and a whisper of lemon, refreshing the palate between bites.
For mains, the pan-seared halibut cheeks prove why this humble cut deserves star billing. Delicately caramelized, the fish yields to the fork with buttery softness, resting on a bed of seasonal vegetables that taste as though they were harvested that morning. The chicken & grits, meanwhile, is Southern comfort at its most elevated - perfectly fried chicken paired with creamy, stone-ground grits that soak up a savory jus with soulful abandon.
And just when you think you can't manage another bite, dessert arrives: the Deschutes Black Butte Porter bread pudding. Dense, dark, and lush with malty richness, it's the kind of sweet ending that makes you linger long after the plates have been cleared — a quiet, contemplative finish to a meal that feels deeply rooted yet refreshingly modern.
At Hattaway's, hospitality isn't just a gesture; it's a rhythm — one that invites you to slow down, savor, and be reminded that good food, when made with heart, always tells a story.

The four of us were seated in their Wine Room which is a private area with a table for up to 8, surrounded by beautiful bottles of wine. Our server was very attentive and provided helpful suggestions for food choices. The menu is eclectic for sure, with many interesting choices. The food was delicious, nicely presented with generous portions. It was expensive for sure - not for the budget minded. But it was a good value nevertheless.

Made advance dinner reservation here for our recent trip to Walla Walla. Ordered the celery salad as a starter. Mentioned that we were going to share it and the waitress had it plated separately without even asking - nice attention to detail. Had the Halibut with grits and Honey Glazed Pork Collar. Both dishes were delicious and well portioned. The service staff was attentive and professional.
