Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We came here for brunch after seeing lots of good reviews, and they did not disappoint! Drop biscuits with lemon blueberry butter were exquisite. Creole grits with BBQ butter - DIVINE! My husband had a very hearty frittata that was excellently dense. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Walla Walla - this Portland foodie would certainly visit again :) read more

The girls seating is were really sweet. Lexis behind the bar is fun and friendly. I tried the duck and the pork collar. Both were so delicious! It was a great atmosphere too. read more

Wonderful special evening out in early November (when we could dine in). Reservations required there was no waiting. Staff were professional and courteous. It was for a milestone birthday celebration and they had a glass of sparkling wine and card waiting at the table when we arrived. Had the grilled octopus and pot of pate appetizers- delicious! We splurged and split the huge beef chop--a little smoky, cooked perfectly (med/rare)--it was memorably wonderful. Best I've ever had. Thank goodness we split as it was huge. Cocktails were great too. Recommend highly. read more

Spectacular food. Everything is beyond tasty. The amuse bouche: homemade potato chip with pepper jelly smear and chick pea purée and a pickled pepper ring. Salad: celery slivers, arugula, hazelnuts, roasted figs, tossed in a lemon vinaigrette and dusted with Parmesan. Dinner: chicken schnitzel with cheesy habanero grits and pickles. Dessert: a box of treats: toffee cookie, caramel, blood orange rhubarb gelee, and coconut macaroon. Every dish, perfectly seasoned with a perfect combination of flavors. read more

Came in with a group of 8, midweek. The good: nice room, quiet enough with the midweek crowd for conversing. The majority of the food was good to very good. The pork was enjoyed, fried rice with shrimp was yummy. Worst choice were the smoked oysters on bread. The diner said she should have known better, but if I were her server, I would have noticed her plate still full of uneaten oysters and offered to bring her something else. more on service later...Star-losing components: First, i find the $25 per seat charge if something, anything (weather, illness, etc) causes the reservation to cancelled within 24 hours of the reservation time oppressive. I mean, it's not like weather is ever an issue, or covid isn't spreading like crazy, but ok, now you've motivated sick people to come in no matter what. Here's a hint - how about if you can fill the seats with walk-ins, just forgiving the charge? Very tight seating for 8, elbow to elbow, but ok, we're friends. Second, the service was HORRENDOUS! it had me thinking - with the 20% big-party minimum tip, she was putting us way back on the back burner. Everything took forever; it felt like we had to flag her down multiple times and beg that she take our dinner order. She dropped a bottle of wine at our table and freaking WALKED AWAY until we decided to serve ourselves. Yes, we can open a screw top and pour our own wine, but that's a crappy thing to do. Also, the uneaten food was left on the table while she was taking dessert orders and really never got cleared until we'd paid the bill, maybe hoping that canned smoked oysters on bread might get more appealing if they just sat longer. I've worked as a server before and I understand how things can be. The management here seemed to have the same theory as my old boss, "if people aren't complaining about the service, we must be overstaffed," which sucks for everyone - server and customers. If that's the case, then the manager needs to be filling in the gaps, helping tend to tables. I also was super unimpressed that they bring a party of 8 a couple of mini-ramekins of pickles instead of bread, which you can have if you pay for it. It would be lovely if they had a green salad on the menu, but whatever. won't be back for service issues alone. read more

BBQ chips and all deserts are amazing! Great drinks. Service was top notch. Definitely recommend

Lovely spot with great food and phenomenal service. Had the pimento cheese and it didn't disappoint. For entrees we ordered the celery salad, which was stellar, and the halibut cheeks, which again was tasty, but maybe could have been cooked a little less. Altogether, they've earned their five stars. Nice work guys! read more

Great menu, great service, outdoor seating during COVID. Indoor we passed on due to quite a bit of airflow from the A/C going on. Unfortunately our experience wasn't 5-stars like many others on the food front. The BBQ Chips, the pulled pork tasted like it was swimming in a typical grocery store BBQ sauce so basically you tasted the sauce more than the pork. The Shaved Celery Ceasar was excellent except for the fact it's served with sweet marinated figs that have a hint of cinnamon and spice. Cinnamon goes with Caesar dressing? Both our main entrees were too salty. The fried chicken would have been 5-star if it wasn't for all the salt. Yes people like salt and salt brings out flavor but, in it was over the top. The Halibut Cheek entree was a major disappointment. Instead of receiving whole chunks of Halibut cheeks they served dry, salty, small pieces of Halibut cheeks (a little smaller than a silver dollar). The grits had so much butter, cream and cheese in it, it was way too rich and overpowered an otherwise mild tasting fish. Dial back the salt/seasoning a little and the butter/cheese and let the main ingredient in your entrees stand on their own. read more

So good!! Loved everything from the cocktails to the dessert. And the service was excellent.

Wonderful service and delicious food. Even with our happy busy son, they were happy to accommodate us with all the extras we needed for him. I had the halibut with grits and it was something I had never tasted before! What a flavor sensation! We are not from this area so I am hoping I can recreate something similar at home. My husband had the chicken and grits. Also delicious! There were so many other options we wanted to try. If we are back in the area we would love to come here again. Thank you! read more

Awesome food and service. First time I've been there. Went with son &daughter-in-law from Everett. They were impressed.

Birthday Brunch What a delight!! Excellent food for meat eaters and vegetarians. The drinks for our brunch were also a fun surprise. Can't say enough about this place. I've had many friends go there for dinner as well, and just loved it. Welcome to Walla Walla, Hattaway's! We hope you are here to stay a good, long time. read more

For those of you who aren't 'readers', here's the sound bite (pun intended). Fabulous food, service and atmosphere -- what's not to love? For those who want the full story...read on. Mr. Adorable and I took our daughter to Hattaway's for her 30th birthday dinner. It was our first experience here, so I had some trepidation. You want a 30th birthday dinner to be memorable. Right from the greeting at the door - the service was fantastic. Warm, gracious, welcoming - everyone acted like they really wanted you there and were happy you came to visit. Our server made great suggestions and accommodations throughout the meal. We had ordered the deviled eggs with caviar as an appetizer. She alerted us that their amuse bouche was also deviled eggs so we could change if we wanted. And we were debating about how many salads to order. She offered up the idea of splitting two salads across three plates. She remained helpful and attentive throughout the meal. Including keeping our water glasses consistently full, sweeping empty plates away quickly, and providing fresh silverware for each course. On to the food! The amuse bouche were deviled eggs topped with toasted bits of chili pepper. Those crunchy toasty bits of heat balanced perfectly against the creamy tender richness of the eggs. A wonderful little bite to start with (and provided free of charge). We also ordered the pimento cheese. OMG Yum! Smokey, piquant spreadable deliciousness. It came on perfectly toasted crostini's flavored with a hint of rosemary. It had the right amount of smooth with a bit of texture. If you try nothing else...eat the cheese. Next course was the celery salad. Its reminiscent of a really well done Caesar, but totally takes that cake. Finely sliced celery mixed with greens (arugula - not a greens expert?), clouds of feather light really good Parmesan grated over the top, toasted hazelnuts and these glorious mission figs. I'm not sure what the did to the figs, but they had a delightful carmelization that paired perfectly with the tangy lemon vinaigrette. Every bite was totally delicious. Ok, I lied above, if you try nothing else try the cheese and the salad. Our three entrees were the shrimp risotto, the halibut cheeks and the duck. I saw one reviewer had said their risotto was lacking in shrimp, ours was not. The risotto was a beautiful blend of perfectly cooked shrimp and rice with that luscious creamy texture you look for in a good risotto. The seasoning was right on, slightly spicy with incredible depth of flavor. Our daughter ordered the duck -- her first ever, and it did not disappoint. Crispy skin (a must), tender, juicy and extremely flavorful. The potatoes dauphinoise and cabbage that accompanied the duck were the ideal foil and equally delicious. Next trip, that is definitely going to be my entree. I had the halibut cheeks. Being land locked in Walla Walla from a 'sea' perspective, and being from the 'wet-side' of the state originally, I hunger for seafood all the time. The cheeks were well seared and served on a bed of the creamiest grits I've ever come across (and I make some pretty good grits). The tomato confit and manchego cream were wonderful counterpoints to the richness of the grits. My one tiny note for this dish was that it lacked a textural counterpoint (all creamy) and the cheeks had received a dash too much finishing salt. But otherwise I was a very happy girl. We, of course, ordered dessert. They had two options, a bread pudding and a decadent flourless chocolate cake. Mr. Adorable had the cake, we ladies had the bread pudding. Both were equally superb. The cake was dense and chocolatey yet still had a lightness to it and the whip on the side was masterful (yes, there is truly an art to making whipped cream). The bread pudding...a delightful crunchy carmelized exterior encased a tender, fluffy center that held bits of melted chocolate. It was drizzled with a lovely boozy caramel sauce. Heaven. The owner stopped by the table at the end of the meal to ensure all had gone well. Nice touch and very much appreciated. We will definitely be back! Tell your friends, give it a try. Hattaway's is absolutely worthy of a visit. Oh forgot about the great wine list. We didn't try the cocktails, but hear wonderful things about those as well. We'll try those next time. read more

Such a fun food experience! I was blown away with the great service and excellent food. read more

Fantastic in every way! Fresh. Delicious. Great atmosphere. Simply delightful. Definitely and highly recommend!

Terrible service & communication. We were put on a wait list and waited for an hour and half to be told that they didn't intend to sit us anyway. The atmosphere looked ok from what I could tell during those few minutes I was inside, but not coming back. read more

don't count on your reservation being YOUR reservation! This restaurant likes to blame their artificial intelligence texting service 'Res' for our not having a reservation inside the restaurant on a 105 degree day. When 'res' sent us a text to confirm our Patio reservation, we asked to dine inside, due to the high temperature, we responded with our request to move our dining experience inside. 'Res' responded: "Got it, Done", which led us to believe our request was honored. Of course, upon arrival to dine - 'oh no' you confirmed your Patio reservation! After an arduous ordeal it was determined that we were out of luck. We noted that if their artificial intelligence was being used, shouldn't it be 'intelligent'? We wont be dining at this unintelligent restaurant and, if you would like to, call ahead and talk to an human. Good luck, sucker! read more

From the moment you walk in to the last bite you take, you feel at home. The food, the cocktails, the wine list and of course, the service are all exceptional. A must do if you're in Walla Walla for brunch AND dinner. read more

I went here to celebrate my graduation in 2020 and the food was phenomenal and the waitress was super cheerful

This place is amazing... we ate here twice the last time we visited Walla Walla. It's a true gem. They have a foodie menu. I have been looking for halibut cheeks on a menu for literally 8 years, they have them! So do not miss the halibut cheeks, so tender and delicious. My husband doesn't even like grits and we ate them all! The steak was amazing. The octopus was cooked perfectly. We wanted to try the oysters, but they were out when we visited, next time! The celery salad sounded weird, I had to try it. Did not disappoint!!! We also ordered the shrimp risotto, it was good, and we cleaned the plate. But will all our other choices, I would skip it next time. Not because it wasn't delicious, but I liked everything else so much! The drinks were great too, per my husband. And I have to say our waiter was awesome. He brought out the plates one after another, perfectly timed! We ordered half the menu, so we enjoyed the different items over a couple hours. It was an amazing experience! I can't wait to go back. read more

Amazing food and some of the best service in Walla Walla. Our server and staff made our experience one to remember!

Hathaway's always has delicious food, great drinks, and friendly service! I love coming here whenever I'm in town.

We had such an awesome meal at Hattaways with Lexi as our server. She was confident, friendly and very polished with wine and food service. She also put up with our somewhat boisterous (mostly the guys) group seamlessly :) She, and so many of the other folks who work there are a great reflection of the Hattaways brand and hospitality style. We love love love Hattaways because every time is a fantastic experience but Lexi really knocked it out of the park! read more

I could not recommend Hattaway's enough. If I lived in Walla Walla, I would be eating there 3-4 times a week. Service was excellent - spot on. The food was fresh and flavorful. Best meal of 2020. read more

Great experience. Quality everything. Sat at the bar and enjoyed a complimentary smoked chicken toast sample that was extremely delicious! Very much enjoyed the bone marrow and its sides, first time for for the marrow. Bold buttery flavor that was delicious. Added on the house fries. Really neat, the bill came in an antique book. Great service and experience!!! read more

We had a fantastic birthday dinner. We let them know via the reservation it was my husband's birthday and they handed him a birthday card with our menus. Nice touch. We shared the BBQ chips (yum, there are 5... arm wrestle for the 5th?), celery salad (unique, tasty, just the right size to share), the beef cheeks (rich, savory, tender) and octopus (perfectly prepared, smoky, tender,tangy) and a dessert. Loved our espresso martini and twist on a gin martini. The "house" Bordeaux was surprisingly excellent. Service outstanding. All around perfect. read more

The halibut was amazing. Service was fantastic. Walla Walla is a great place for a weekend getaway and Hattaway's was wonderful.

We were in town on a Wednesday for a concert, and did a lot of research about what was open, which wasn't a lot! It happened to be my birthday too, so I made a reservation, seeing it had great reviews. First of all, they gave us the best table in the place! The service was great, and the food was incredible. I would highly recommend it. I had the shrimp & kielbasa, which was absolutely delicious. We also had the Brussels sprouts, and they were so yummy. They brought our dessert with a birthday candle, and complimentary champagne. Just can't say enough great things, just try this place. You won't regret it. read more

Three words - CHICKEN AND GRITS!!!! this spot is a fabulous addition to the food scene in wine country. The menu is an eclectic combination of PNW and the South. We had raw oysters to start and ended with a scrumptious bread pudding. The service was phenomenal and the pricing was reasonable for such an upscale but not pretentious dining experience. read more

We went to HATTAWAY'S on a Monday evening, they were doing a nice steady business. There were four of us visiting Walla Walla and prior to leaving one of our group read about HATTAWAY'S, booking us a reservation. We all were very pleasantly surprised with this experience. From first being seated we felt relaxed. The service was at the right tempo, not rushed or waiting too long for server to stop by the table. Great job Denise! We started out with appetizers of duck pate and smoked oysters, both of which were fantastic. Main course; halibut cheeks, chicken sausage with gnocchi and 2 shrimp risotto. To me, not too rich, but filling comfort food. Dessert; chocolate tort, rich, not too heavy or sweet. The portions for all of the courses are very generous. Definitely recommend eating here. Will be a stop for us on our next trip here. **A very welcome dining experience compared to Saffron the prior evening. I posted on this as well. ** read more

I dig their desire for greatness. Genuinely wants to be top notch. I just don't feel like across all the dishes we had were as equally as good as the next. Although we enjoyed the appetizers, the main courses lacked the spunk and ingenuity I'm getting used to at this scale. However I'd recommend the pork shoulder while they have it, nicely smoked. While the collard greens seem spendy, very tasty. I do have a definity for them though. The fries are tasty even without the comeback sauce. Environment is nice, I just wasn't blown away. May try again. read more

Definitely would go back! We sat out on the patio and enjoyed a pleasant evening with great service. Had the fried chicken and bbq chips . So good! read more

We came for brunch this morning and everything was delicious! I ordered the smoked pork hash and it was a generous portion and the flavors were incredible. The patio was lovely and we were able to have our dog sit with us. We definitely will be back next time we are in town. read more

Terrific dinner. Large variety in options. We loved the celery salad. Staff is very friendly and drinks/food are delicious. Nicely decorated as well.Generous potions. Left very full. read more

I came here with 2 friends - we were able to get reservations for the same day. I had the halibut cheeks and they were FABULOUS. I seriously ate every single bit off of my plate and I could've had more. They were very attentive and even made me a tasty mocktail (I'm pregnant). The interior is very well-done...I haven't been here since it was Saffron and I loved what Hattaway's did on the inside. This is one of my new favorites in town! read more

So disappointing, the beef cheek entrees were spongy, and the spices did not complement the food. It was inedible. The service was great.

Great setting, great service (Alex) & unreal food. Best grits I've ever had, best spatzle I've ever had... & the drop biscuits were incredible. Full bar, excellent bloody Mary's & French press coffee. read more

Wonderful dinner last week with our son and his fiancé in town. The food is always inspired and the execution from this kitchen is great. We especially enjoyed the help in our pairings from Denise our server that evening who really knows the menu and guided us to individual and group choices that were spot on for our larger group! read more

Great service one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Duck Pate was amazing Thanks

This place is amazing! We've visited twice now and both times were great. Last night we had the bbq chips as a starter (delicious, but portion was a little small), and then the halibut cheeks and pork collar. The sauce & grits with the halibut cheeks were to die for! read more
