It is one of my favorite places to dine.Michael & Nicole are great hosts & Stephen is the greatest for planning special parties. The cocktail hour was good food & wine & dinner is always the same....excellent. The cake the chef made for my 80th BD was over the top .

Free valet parking! Amazing mushroom soup! The cod was some of the best I have ever had. Wasn't cheap but wasn't overly expensive either. I have definitely paid more for less. If you want a nice dinner in this area I highly recommend Wally's.
