The Dover sole is the premier dish. The Caesar salad and the mushroom soup are great appetizers. The soufflé is delicious! Wallys is the best restaurant in the desert hands down! — with Stan Hack and Rosalind McEnroe Hack.

We had a wonderful dinner. The braised short ribs we so tender, melted in your mouth. Also the Salmon was cooked perfectly. And the Lava cake dessert was so delicious. The staff and service is top notch, knowledgeable and friendly.
