We had just bought a weekend home in Rancho Mirage, and I planned (what I had hoped would be) a nice birthday dinner for my husband. I did everything that I was supposed to do: (i) I reserved well in advance for a Saturday evening at 7:30; (ii) I personally visited the restaurant and spoke with the maitre d'; (iii)... more

I've been to Wally's maybe four times over the past six years. Yes, the menu and decor don't seem to have changed much since it opened in 1978, it caters to the "walker set", and probably is a bit overpriced for what it is (relative to comparable restaurants in any large city).

(Tony and Carmela would be at home here, for sure.) The food is excellent. I love the fact that it's unapologetically dedicated to its client base: well-heeled LA types who've had... more

I loved this place- from the decor to the service- and the dover sole is amazing more

There is a good reason that Wally's has been around for sooooo long. It's ambiance and service will take you back to another time when gracious dining was more common! You must try the fresh sole almondine. Yes, I know it's the desert--but dont' let that spoil your taste for this wonderfully prepared dish. The wine list is extensive and... more

For the past 4-5 years, our family has dined at Wally's on Christmas Eve and every year I have the same thing: the Sauteed Filet of Beef with their black peppercorn sauce. Not only has it been consistantly the best meal I've had, but I believe it keeps getting better year after year. The beef was so tender and cooked... more
