Service amazing. Food amazing. Drinks amazing this place is the trifecta of greatness. We are coming back tomorrow

I'm an old guy. I've been fortunate enough to eat a lot of wonderful meals in many different places both here and abroad. So many in fact, that many fine establishments I've enjoyed have faded from memory. There are a handful however, that were so wonderful that they are impossible to forget. Hattaways in Walla Walla Washington is one of them. From the moment we walked in, until the last bite of dessert, everything was outstanding. The service was friendly, informative, and efficient. The atmosphere was charmingly simple, and the crowd convivial. As first timers. I cannot speak for the entire menu, but I can tell you that the corn salad was so delicious and so different from anything I've ever had, if I'd stopped with that one dish, I'd still give Hattaway's a rave review. The pickles presented gratis as a snack were similar to a bread and butter pickle, but with a spicy sweet punch that made them far from ordinary. The entree, grilled Steelhead trout on a bed of finger potatoes, was cooked to perfection. Dessert was a large square of bread pudding with dabs of chocolate in a bourbon carmel sauce that melted in my mouth. The decaf coffee we ordered to accompany it was a full french press pot that we steeped to our liking before pressing the plunger. We live several hundred miles away, but Hattaway's is a restaurant that I'd seriously consider driving the distance to just to experience again. read more

I was really excited to try this place given the strong reviews. The service was fantastic but I found the food sub par. The pimento cheese was amazing. The sweet corn beignets were good but were much more of a hush puppy than beignets. For my entree I got halibut cheeks and it was not good at all. The cheeks were overcooked and beyond tough. The grits weren't that flavorful. The best part of the dish was the tomato confit. I would go elsewhere. Macy's food was much better. read more

Outstanding Birthday dinner! The signed Birthday card on the table upon arrival was a very sweet touch. All the food & service was wonderful. We had a party for 4. Complimentary house pickles should have come with a spice warning, 3 of the 4 of us couldn't eat them (though tasty). We all had the parmesean celery salad to start per several rerecommendations, it delivered! Great refreshing way to start the meal. Main courses were all great. I had spaetzel with a bolognese type sauce...I will be dreaming of those crispy spaetzle bits! Others had duck fried rice and fried chicken over grit cakes, all outstanding. For dessert, I had the chocolate tart?, very good but super rich and a very salty crust. I brought the rest home and couldn't finish even the next day. If you REALLY love chocolate, this one's for you. Everyone else enjoyed the super delicious bread pudding (including the leftovers for breakfast with coffee...mmm). We will definitely make a point to reserve a spot at Walla Walla when we are back for a visit. Thank you for a great Birthday dinner! read more

Walla Walla should be proud to have such a culinary delight in their city. We had the corn appetizer, schnitzel (it's deep fried not pan fried) and the duck. All excellent. We did not drink wine or spirits since we had a couple wine tastings under our belt, but they all looked delicious. Our water on the rocks was awesome. Service is very professional. The owners have trained their team well. Support this restaurant. The city needs more upscale dining to match their excellent vineyards. read more

Both food and service were elevated! Yummy ribs, cocktails, salads. Etc! We went here 4 yrs ago and recently- they have kept up on quality and service. Kudos!!! read more

It seems to be everyone's favorite, but it wasn't mine. Great service. We had reservations, nothing specific, but they sat us on the chilly patio without asking our preference. Drinks were okay. We had some bourbon cocktails from the menu. Nothing amazing. We ordered the BBQ chips, which my husband loved, and the pimento cheese, which was a lot of cheese on a crostini. The heirloom tomato salad was okay. The hand cut fries were worth writing home about and the chicken was tasty. Personally, I thought the food was heavy and okay, but not the quality I was expecting from reviews. read more

We came here on a recommendation and so happy we made a reservation. The restaurant was full and the vibe is casual but fun. The food is delicious too. We were happy with everything we ordered - from the tuna starter to the umami steelhead and the duck & dirty rice as entrees. The bread pudding for dessert is not to be missed either! read more

Menu is small. I did not like the pimento cheese. Empanadas were good but very small. Service was good. Place was packed!

The food is delicious the drinks are superb! Staff is very friendly and accommodating. had the celery salad - so light freshening and absolutely delicious. I will never sleep on celery again! The bbq chips are the perfect bite! GET THEM. Lastly they are real mixologists here so the drinks are creative, lovely and fun! I absolutely recommend Hattaway's 10/10 would recommend read more

Everything was excellent! Food, service and atmosphere! We look forward to returning soon.

What an amazing evening. Absolutely incredible flavors in everything we tasted. The Tuna dip and crispy ribs were sooo good. Salads were an inventive mix of yummy ingredients and delicious. I'm not fond of celery but the celery and parma cheese salad changed my mind. I had the Chicken and Grits entree and it did not disappoint. Service was perfect. Everything timed so well we never felt we were unattended. The restaurant interior was well done and very comfortable. Easy to converse with my friends throughout dinner. I'd say you're really missing out if you don't try this place. It was really a superb experience. read more

First time in this place recently and I was blown away. And I'm picky. The menu is a bit on the limited side, but the one meal I had made my food-brain explode with joy. The blackened scallops with the smoked gruyere grits was a flavor bomb like nothing I've experienced with scallops before. Simple place with no frills front desk/service and a nice patio outside. Service was great - wine options by the glass were ok- but I liked what I ordered. I'm definitely going back to this place - whoever is making the food is killing it. read more

All the food is just so good. Great service as well. We went on a busy weekend after holiday barrel tasting and it absolutely hit the spot

I had the ginger glazed steelhead today and it was delicious, I recommend it highly. The bartender/server was friendly and I had a really nice time. read more

Wow! They nailed another fantastic dinner. Start to finish, awesome. Mark gave us great service, each course better than the one before. The fish balls were unreal, as was the braised pork on plantain chips. We can't wait to goback. read more

Best restaurant in Walla Walla. Hands down. Try the pimiento cheese. It won't disappoint.

We came in on a Friday at 7pm with a group of 11. Our waitresses was super friendly and the ambiance was nice which is why I gave them one star. The food was terrible. What I ordered amongst my friends: Cloud 9 Cocktail: 2/5 Three of us ordered this cocktail. The flavor was okay but they came lukewarm which made it hard to finish. All the drinks came out at the same time so my guess was they were sitting out a while before being served. Green Giant Cocktail (substituted tequila with gin): 0/5 I ordered the Green Giant but substituted tequila with gin and asked for it to be made on the sweeter side. The drink came out way too sweet and there was a weird licorice aftertaste which wasn't listed in the description. My guess is that the bartender forgot to properly clean the shaker between drinks. I had to send this one back but the waitress was super nice about it. I ordered a gin and tonic instead and that was good--no licorice taste. Smoked Oysters: 3.5/5 We didn't expected the oysters to be served without the shells but they were enjoyable. The description described them as "smoked oysters" which probably hinted that they came in a can but I wish they were more specific. The bread it came with was really good. Clams: 2/5 The flavors were good but the combo of chorizo and clams didn't work for me. It felt like I was eating a bean and cheese dip with clams. Shrimp and Pepper Pasta: 4/5 This was our favorite dish. Noodles were cooked nicely. Scallops: 0/5 The scallops were cooked perfectly but holy shit, they were sooo salty. I had half a scallop and had to chug my water. My mouth was pulsating afterwards. I couldn't have another bite. My friend asked for some limes to douse the scallops in order to finish them. Our two other two friends also ordered scallops and they had the same comments. Additional comments: One person in our group ordered the steak at $100 and it was undercooked. All the reviews here are great and two friends have came here before for lunch and recommended the restaurant. To say we were all disappointed is an understatement. Our bill was over a thousand dollars. I think they just had a really off night due to the holiday weekend but I'm afraid to come back. read more

Another great spot in downtown Walla Walla. I loved the ambience at Hattaway's. The cocktails were amazing and equally pleasing to look at. I had a direct view of the bar and I couldn't peel my eyes away from the bartender (Lexie) crafting drink after drink. It was like watching art. The food was also really good and flavorful. In fact two of my friends were still talking about their Celery Parmesan salad the next day. My only wish was that I had done more research on what to order and a second stomach so that I could try more drinks and food. read more

Food was amazing-started with the smoked oysters, the ragu for the entree and finishing off with the bread pudding. Service by Ana R- she was very pleasant, attentive and funny! Note on the bread pudding: they use Heath bars in lieu of raisins and a bourbon caramel sauce to die for! (Espresso martini was just ok in my opinion.) read more

Amazing. Pork shank with polenta was one of the best meals I've had. The bar is cozy and the bartender is friendly. Love this place.

Food is good. Service is wonderful. But the restaurant was too noisy and made our meal tense. We ordered quick meals and left. Not the first time here, but I fear it was the same every time. Such a shame. They try so hard. read more

I recommend this place because it's just good. Nice service - good wine - great dinner and awesome desert- everything was like I was in a big city restaurant but no no I'm in little Walla Walla - which has grown up too. Try the aged ribeye and pork ragu or smoked chicken dirty rice. And don't miss the flourless chocolate torte with real whipped cream . Dam good food here read more

We had a 7:15 reservation on a Saturday night--quite crowded so thankful for that. I had the creole shrimp toast as a starter, was delicious and my friend enjoyed her celery salad. I then had the halibut cheeks, a tasty flavor combination with the grits and sauce but for me the cheeks were perhaps a bit lost in that accompaniment. My friend had the ginger salmon and she loved it. We appreciated the ability to enjoy some Cayuse wine which was sold by the ounce, 2 ounces of it helped me appreciate what all the fuss was about. Nice evening read more

This is an attractive restaurant where we had excellent service. The sticky ribs were great. We should have had two orders instead of sharing one. We also shared spaetzle and pork shoulder. It was okay. Cocktails and wine were good. The main issue we had was that they play the music too loud. That detracts from the experience. read more

I visited Walla Walla last weekend to do some wine tasting with my girlfriend. We came here on Saturday night and it was really good. Despite it being busy, the food was top notch and the service was solid. This was a great place for a romantic dinner to cap of a day of wine tasting. read more

Decent place, extremely friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. I enjoyed the octopus, although it was a bit sweet. Also started off the meal with sweet pickles, very flavourful. read more

I'm local and I am thrilled with the addition of excellent restaurants here in the last 15-20 years. Hattaways is one of the best in the area. The service staff is likely the best in town. I also appreciate the varied, innovative menu , and that it rotates. In the beginning it was loud , but internal modifications have helped. The fact that it is open on Sunday and Monday gives it a competitive advantage for us locals. I highly recommend Hattaways and pray for its ongoing success. read more

It was aight. The waitress wasn't aware of the artist Hattaway, who I assumed owned the place. What is love? I ended up getting a steak for $90 and it was pretty dope, but probably more like $43 dope. That being said I just kinda ordered and didn't really pay attention to the menu. I was expecting German techno and buff, shirt less dudes. I felt like it was a private club and me and the old ball and chain (my son) were outsiders. Later I realized it could have been that I was wearing a hat the whole time. Im a 5 star or 1 star kinda guy and this place didn't do anything that offended me or my Christian morals so they get a 5. read more

Such a great place for food. Dinner was so good and service was amazing too. We got the deep fried chicken schnitzel over grits and the shrimp pasta. Bone marrow to start was amazing. Would love to go back read more

Made a reservation for Mother's Day dinner. This restaurant had amazing yelp reviews and one of the very few places open on a Sunday night. We ordered based on dishes that were well received in Yelp reviews. Celery Parmesan Salad, Shrimp & Kielbasa étouffée, Braised beef cheeks and Chicken grits held the promise of a memorable Mother's Day dinner. So, how did they measure up.?!? The salad was good, refreshing and light. The étouffée tasted like any Indian dish but bland. It had all the semblance of a layered Indian dish with its bed of rice, the black eyed beans on top if it and the shrimp, kielbasa as it's crowning glory. But alas, the flavor bomb of a 3 hour roux was missing and it tasted like a very basic dish. The chicken and grits had its plating in aces. A well composed dish with a nice crispy chicken. This was by far my son's favorite dish. The braised beef cheeks was my hubby's favorite dish. The beef cheeks were so tender he said . The only sad aspect though was, there hardly was any beef cheek. The only piece my hubby got, he shared with my son. I don't remember getting to taste any. So the value of the dish dropped right there for me. Again, I'm all for paying a fair price and it saddens me when businesses short change their customers. So I couldn't really tell how the beef cheeks were but the vegetables in the dish were good. For dessert, we shared the flourless chocolate torte. The pickles served at the beginning of the meal was a nice touch, it helped open up my palette. They also bring a cookbook for you to sign off. Overall, the meal was good but nothing I'd reminisce for days or have the urge to go back to try again. A one time visit for us! read more

Adorable little restaurant just off the main drag in Walla Walla. My friend & I were lucky to get a reservation (use the Hattaways website) & scored a seat on the patio. Loved the Cajun pickles as a small sweet/spicy bite to start the meal. The steelhead was well cooked & on a bed of sweet corn purée. The chicken & grits was amazing - crispy fried skin, juicy chicken, mild grits (our server was awesome about subbing this instead of the spicy grit cake) & a light cucumber sauce. Really great dish that I'd go back for. read more

We had the chicken pate and then for the main course we had the octopus and halibut cheeks. The octopus was so tender and the chimchurri sauce with the mix of vegetables was excellent. Definitely recommend. My son (29) had the halibut cheeks and loved the mix of flavors. What an excellent experience in our travels in southern Washington read more

Hattaway's is an outstanding addition to the Walla Walla food scene... I was excited to try during recent visit and did not disappoint! We had 6 of us, so lots of opportunity to share bites. Starting with the apps: Get the Hush Puppies and don't look back... they were the highlight! The BBQ chips were also delicious, but more of a "one bite" appetizer for each person. Between the 6 of us, we tried a variety of cocktails - all outstanding. Cherry Bourbon Spice, Who Controls the Spice, and Modern Love were big hits! Interesting twists with flavors. For entrees, the plan was to share bites, but everyone hovered over their plates the moment we dug in... no sharing allowed, since that meant giving up a bite of the greatness on the plate in front of us. I had the pan seared halibut cheeks - tender, flavorful, grits and sauce were divine. Two of our friends had the chicken and grits... all he would lend me was a bite of grits (spicy)! My wife ordered the Grilled Pork Collar and loved every bite. We ate 3 spectacular dinners in WW over the long weekend, and Hattaway's was the winner. read more
