    Not our first time at Wally's and certainly won't be our last. Took some friends for a belated birthday celebration. Our waiter Chris couldn't be better! The food is a great value. Rack of lamb was superb. The salmon perfect. The pasta just right. The apple dessert is instagram worthy! Our friends loved it.

    The service was good and the food was very good. I had the vegetable couscous and some Sauvignon Blanc. And for an appetizer, we had some kind of salmon sushi with cucumber and a soy sauce dressing. And for a salad, we had butter lettuce, radish and radicchio with a tarragon dressing.  My husband had a clam and sausage dish which was delicious as well! The ambience was very relaxing. I will be back.

    Such a lovely dining experience for 5 ladies! Service was exceptional, so attentive and so so lovely. The food was truly a 10/10, everything was delicious from the drinks, to starters, dinner, and dessert. Roasted cabbage, burger, steak frites medium rare, green beans, basque cheesecake. Everything is a must! Truly about to book another dinner right now for when my family comes to town in two weeks. Thank you!!
