My brother treated us to dinner at Wally's on Father's Day. I can honestly say the whole night was amazing! The best service I've ever experienced came from the Botello family and their staff. I can't forget the music; it complemented the food perfectly. The whole atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. Can't wait to visit again!
Business response:
