Wally's Desert TurtleThe best restaurant in southern Ca.We had the best meal of our lives for our 27th anniversary. The owner, Michael, came by to chat and make sure we were enjoying our dinner.

We feel it is the top restaurant in the Valley and is a perfect place to take guests for a high-end experience. Other restaurants have excellent food and/or service but for great food, first class service and a sophisticated ambience Wally's stands alone.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst ClassI love the atmosphere and feeling of traditional, first class service at this restaurant. The staff were very accommodating and always there when needed. The ambiance is truly spectacular and that only rivals the food which was fabulous. We had margaritas that were also fabulous.
