The 3 Course Dinner was Fabulous. The Bartender Brian and the Sax Player were both pleasant and great at their crafts.

My parents used to take me to Wally’s when I was little, and I had not been back for many years. On a wave of nostalgia I wanted to take my husband for our anniversary, and boy, it did not disappoint: The ambience, servers (Ginny, in particular) and host were delightful, the food divine. It was so good we returned the next night with our friends. Thank you Wally’s for exceeding my childhood memories - we will be back!
