    Steak was exceptional! Server was amazing. The host, named DAVID was rude... should have given 5 stars if not for the host.

    Web site prices: corn salad, $7.95(actual price at W's, $10.00); Ahi with Basmati rice, $24.95 (actual price at W's, $38!). Service poor/ tile round table, bar tender waiter, as such. Had to ask for silverware/napkins/bread. Everyone's meal was poor. Very disappointing for special birthday dinner.

    Unfortunately. The Afghan burger was too dry. There was too much bun. The Afghan fries were oily and soggy. The omelette was too dry and bland. The hash brown with the omelette was also. bland in taste and color. I have to remember not to return.

    Our server was terrible. We were seated given water then sat there for over 10 minutes. Our server was at a table 2 away from us, never greeted us, never said I'll be right with you. I ended up asking the host who our waiter was as no one had been over to our table. He got the waiter he took our drink appetizer order, drinks took awhile, someone not our waiter finally brought them after someone had already dropped our appetizer. We finished our app and still hadn't seen our waiter again. We ordered our food from someone else, she was nice and helpful. This was our first time at Walter's, we loved the food, wish we wouldn't of had such a bad experience with service. I wish we could of left the tip for the people that actually took care of our table.
