    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!

    The service is always excellent. Our party dined on filet mignon, lobster tails, lobster ravioli, scallops wrapped in bacon, oysters, tuna poke with sides of creamed spinach and lobster macaroni and cheese. Our waiter surprised us with their delicious carrot cake with fresh whipped cream. All delicious with unsurpassed quality. Excellent wine list particularly the offerings by the glass. Consistently good every time. Pricey, but no more than other high-end restaurants in the area. Highly recommend for a special occasion or celebration.

    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!
