My wife and I came in for Christmas Eve dinner. She ordered the Sea Bass Specoal with a bowl of Hot Carrot soup and ice tea. I had the Turkey Dinner also with Hot Carrot soup. For dessert we shared the Pecan pie a la mode. Everything was delicious.

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!

Jillians is an elegant, lovely restaurant. Both the courtyards and the inside dining are beautiful. Our waiter, Fernando, was the epitome of classy service. This is not a place to be in a rush; it's a place to order your cocktail and enjoy it before you even think about food, which is delicious.
