    I had the seafood risotto and my wife hade the ravioli pomodoro. Both were excellent. If it was not for the table next to us playing videos on their iPhones it would have been great. Keep your children home if they cannot behave.

    2nd time to eat here. Absolutely amazing service only to be matched by the quality of their food. Our party of 6 arrived about 20 mins early and although the restaurant was already busy they sat us immediately. Wonderful dinner. So glad they moved their Cajun Halibut dinner from being a special to a permanent selection. Delicious!

    It's a great place with a lot if energy in the bar. We were a little concerned about the noise level in the bar on a busy holiday night but the acoustics were great. We even had a nice conversation with the people sitting next to us. You just can't go wrong sitting in the bar listening to the music surrounded by the most interesting people in the valley while enjoying a great selection of cocktails and epicurean delights .

    We live in Palm Springs and rarely venture out to eat. This was our first time eating at Wally's Desert Turtle and we were all very impressed with excellent service/staff members, food offerings, and a terrific wine selection, along with some wonderful cocktail options in addition to the classics. We will definitely be coming back!
