Wally's Desert Turtle

"MOST OUTSTANDING PLACE ever! and I’m going to counter user named“R Reviews” negative review with everything that exists!

The carpaccio is beyond excellent!! in fact, it’s one of the dishes that keeps bringing me back here over and over.

When it comes to the style, it is far from outdated! This is one of those restaurants that is your TIMELESS, CHIC AND CLASSIC STYLE! Which means it’s never gonna change and it never goes out of style and it’s one of the reasons I love it so much you don’t find this level of elegance at places anymore!

Madalyn, her father and mother run this place so well and treat every person in a personal manner so they feel the most welcome!

Yes, it’s pricey, but the food is so worth the price. I have never been disappointed with a single meal or menu item that I have ordered every time I come here. We have been coming faithfully for four years now since we discovered this wonderful restaurant.!

Timeless classic style excellent high-quality food like you would find in Europe. The meat 🥩 are always perfect and tender. The desserts 🍮 loaded with flavor and high-quality cream made from scratch every day. The coffee ☕️ is beyond excellent the perfect level of being roasted, but not a burnt flavoring yet smooth on your tongue.! My favorite drink 🍷 is the Lady Lavender"

"This is a little gem in the desert thats outlived many restaurants by many years. Its family owned and operated and its definitely an absolute must see while you are visiting or even if you are locals. I met Maddy, at another restaurant that I work for. She was so sweet and kind and invited me to come check out her family's restaurant and so I did. From the service at the valet to the host desk to the wait staff and even the musician, it all exceeded my expectations. The food was on point and perfectly proportioned and it came out in a timely manner. The staff was very friendly and professional and didnt miss a mark. And the live music was at a tolerable level so you could still enjoy the conversations with your company. I would absolutely recommend coming here and I will definitely be coming back. Cheers!"

"I came here on 2/6/25 on the last night of a week-long business trip and man, what a way to end the trip!

I remember the fancy dining chain, The Velvet Turtle, growing up and this restaurant was made by the guy who created that chain. The restaurant was beautifully decorated inside and they had a live singer for entertainment who did an amazing job.

The service was TOP NOTCH. As a solo diner I was presented with two table options, including one that had a view of the entire restaurant, which is the one I took. It was the right choice, such an amazing restaurant and such incredible detail in the design and furnishing.

The service team was excellent. In addition to the server and his assistant, the manager was constantly coming around to make sure everyone in the restaurant was well taken care of, to take away empty plates, etc.

I started with their "Autumn Salad" which was very good, even the tofu, and I had their filet for my main course. Everything was delicious and I'd absolutely recommend coming here.

They do have valet parking up front and there is plenty of options for those not wishing to valet.

Along the wall in the hallway to the restroom they have plaques going back at least 15 years without a break signifying that they are a four Michelin star rated restaurant and it is easy to see why."
