Food was great! There were some unique items on the menu. The atmosphere is inviting. Drinks are little pricey.

The ambiance was perfect for a family gathering to listen to stories. The waitress was attentive always showing up when we needed something and disappearing when we didn't. I had the Duck and Dirty Rice with an oh so tender bird and the flavors of the rice complimented but did not overwhelm the bird. Everyone else at my table loved their food, even the finicky eaters. I can't comment on the drinks because I didn't indulge. Didn't indulge in dessert either but I still wouldn't have given up on my first course of roasted Brussels sprouts. I would definitely go back for special occasions. read more

Such an overrated place! Completely disappointed with the food! Service is great Drinks were delicious! Food was just a hodge Podge of too busy, too much going on in a plate! You couldn't separate the flavors and enjoy anyone thing! The presentation and the meal wasn't thought out. Ordered the halibut cheeks but they had cut it into small pieces. So u couldn't get flavor of just the halibut cheek. Beef cheeks was placed in a bowl over a bed of salad and u couldn't get flavors or enjoy the meat. The bowl was too busy! Honestly expected more and walked out unsatisfied! read more

We ate at Hathaway's on 15th of September. There were four in my party. Two of us enjoyed our meals. Those two had the chicken and jalapeño grits which I tasted and was excellent. One person ordered the halibut cheeks, but doesn't like grits. So I don't know why she ordered it in the first place. I thought it was good. The restaurant was packed and it appeared everybody was having fun. I however ordered the duck confit and was extremely disappointed. Mainly because there was no duck. Everyone looked at my plate and laughed and asked me what I had ordered. I said I ordered the duck. When the waitress came back to ask us how everything was tasting, everyone looked at me. I explained to the waitress that there was no meat. I got a snotty reply that that's the way confit is and it's ground up in the rice. I know what confit is and that was a pile of rice. I didn't want to make a scene with the guests but everyone could tell I was disappointed and it put a real damper on our evening. The restaurant was recommended to us and I promptly went back and explained to the recommender that they should not be recommending this restaurant to anyone. Today, I just went back to look at the reviews and the pictures of the duck, and that is not what I received. I should have pressed the waitress more or asked to speak with the manager. People that know me know that I seldom complain about my food. I 1)can't believe the waitress responded to me the way she did and 2) someone actually allowed a plate without any meat to come out to the table. I did not give five stars because of my experience. And I did not give one star because others at the table enjoyed their meal. I wish I had a picture to share. read more

Upon walking in the decor and vibe welcoming, had a bit of an issue getting a high chair with our table but they managed to make it work. They had a nice wine list, but we were sort of wined out from all the tastings in the day so it was great to see a cocktail menu. Went with the "Solid Gold", a bourbon drink with honey and lemon that was refreshing. As for the food, we ordered the asparagus with tasso ham salad, the collard greens, halibut cheeks, and pick collar. The asparagus was grilled nicely and with the smokey ham, was delicious. The collard greens, were good and pretty much standard. It had some spice on the top but didn't carry throughout the dish. The halibut cheeks was the star and might have been our best dish in Walla Walla, on a plate of grits and sun dried tomatoes it was balanced texturally and flavor wise. The pork collar was an elevated pork chop which came with some tender potatoes but the tomato sauce was a bit acidic. We ended the meal with a buttermilk pie that was a cross between lemon meringue and creme brulee. Overall, food was great would like to try a few more items on the menu next time. read more

After a long day of wine tasting, we came here for a nice dinner. It's got a nice vibe and is certainly a place to celebrate an anniversary, date night or special occasion. Our server, Zora, was excellent! She had wonderful suggestions for us and I'm so glad she suggested the celery parmesan salad, it was fantastic tasting and so different than the usual lettuce salad. We were treated to a free "snack" from the kitchen which was delicious and I think is an an excellent touch from the management/kitchen. (Sadly, I didn't write my review right away and I can't remember exactly what we were served, only that we all enjoyed it!) For dinner, hubby had the duck breast and I had the seared scallops. Both dishes were recommended by Zora and both dishes lived up to her comments. read more

Great little spot for a yummy dinner after a day of wine tasting. The house pickles are so good, sweet and crisp. Ordered the fried chicken as it seemed to be popular. It was delicious. Crispy with a very nice sauce and grit cake underneath. Friend ordered the salmon served with a corn purée (sweet and creamy) that paired very well together. Not sure if a relatively new restaurant or now but would love to see the menu evolve as well. Would def revisit to try another item! read more

Hattaway's is not fancy - but one is led to think they think you should think they are - for a place like Walla Walla. With small yet 'artistic' portions that say "it's more about us than you getting your monies worth" - I don't feel like they are taking care to feed people, but to come-off looking cool (for Walla Walla) doing it. Additionally, as a southerner it was beyond insulting as to the manner of the wait staff (male) who attended us. He continually offered unsolicited dining advice in what seemed an intentional condescending manner - as if his clearly uneducated acumen on southern cuisine was a great revelation. (?) Having never been exposed to such behavior in any quarter of the fine dining world - I was led to believe this was a restaurant bent on pleasing the patrons and NOT a compulsory food appreciation course I was attending. This colored an ambience that was already unappealing in that the place was unevenly lit and the askew lighting was awkwardly non-chic and functionally too low as I needed to use my phone to be able to see the fine printed menu in the dim setting. This did nothing for the vibe of the place and was a stylistic intention of the facility. The food was depressingly small in portion and overpriced ... the drinks were weak ... and never serve a man an under sized beer in a goblet ... far more PNW than Georgia about a 90/10 split! Save your money and get something to eat without the phony swagger! read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by friends and the staff of many wine tastings in Walla Walla. After ordering our drinks and food we got greetings from the kitchen in form of 2 bruschetta type dishes, very tasty. Our starter was pimento cheese and duck pate, the main dish was grilled octopus and clams and green garlic parmesan bread. Everything tasted great and our sever was very friendly and helpful to explain all the dishes. They also have a great bar with yummy cocktails. I had an Hatty's old fashioned and my wife a honey you're smokin. Both delicious. Definitely a place to visit when in Walla Walla. read more

WOW. Who knew Walla Walla was such a foodie heaven?!? Am I late to the party on this one? I adore southern cooking, having grown up on all those delicacies, and I'm always excited to see them being re-interpreted through new eyes. This love for trying "new South" cuisine has taken me to some absolutely incredible establishments, and some truly awful ones. Hattaway's is squarely in the former, and I cannot wait to return. First, GET A RESERVATION! They are a small space, well-planned and it doesn't feel cramped, but I can't imagine just waltzing in and expecting to be seated at such a hot spot. We arrived for an early dinner and were immediately greeted and seated, followed shortly thereafter by our server who couldn't have been kinder, more knowledgeable, and more helpful. She made me miss the days when I spent too much time in NOLA, where service is as much an art as the cuisine. We couldn't pass up the pimiento cheese, as it's Mama's favorite, and it arrived beautifully presented - a hint of spice, balanced with smoky, cheesy goodness. Don't miss this, you'll be sad you did. Next up, we shared the tomato salad - these heirloom tomatoes were perfectly ripe, not at all grainy, and served with a hint of salt to bring out the amazingly fresh taste. We practically fought over the last one! For dinner, I couldn't pass up their interpretation of fried chicken - prepared spetzle style, thinly pounded, breaded and fried, over a polenta cake (we call them grits!) and a lovely dill and cucumber sauce. I was a bit thrown on the sauce at first (what can I say? I'm a purist, and fried chicken is served with gravy y'all), but it was a really surprising and fresh compliment that I may have to copy when I make fried chicken. My dining companion had the crab cakes and they must have been delicious because she didn't even save me a morsel! I also appreciated that the portions were not HUGE - I hate wasting food, and usually opt for apps rather than dessert. The service and ambience deserves it's own description - it's posh, without being stuffy or pretentious, and our server was spectacular, pacing our plates well so we had the opportunity to truly enjoy each course. Don't miss this one when you come to town. Cheers! read more

The only thing that surpasses Hattaway's food is the service. We had Megan last night, and she was so professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and cheery pleasant. The food is outstanding! I had the Duck with Dirty Rice. Cooked to absolute perfection! I enjoy delicious food, well-made, in an upscale but non-pretentious, treat-me-like-a-newfound-friend atmosphere. Clean. So much to praise here, thanks so much for a wonderful time and we will return next time we visit Walla Walla! read more

Such a fantastic experience at an unbelievable restaurant - I'm so glad we were able to visit while staying in Walla Walla! We were fortunate that the wine room table was available for our party during our stay, because it really added to the ambiance. The room is entirely soundproof and adorned with all the local bottles from the many vineyards in the area. They even leave you speakers to play your own music, which is really a nice touch. The service was great, our waitress was very attentive and gave excellent recommendations. When it comes to the food - I cannot say enough good things. Everything that came out was as tasty as it looked, and the presentation was flawless! I started off with the farmhouse salad, a nice and light starter in a tasty dressing. I tried some of the whipped duck pate, which also had excellent flavor. I was torn between entrees because I wanted to try so many, but the clams and sausage dish was perfect for the chilly night and was oh so satisfying. The local bread it comes with is much needed to get allll the delicious sauce. I had to try some of my family's entrees too because everything looked and smelled so wonderful. If I could give Hattaway's more than five stars I would. I have family that moved to Walla Walla recently, and I will make sure we come back next time I visit - highly recommend! read more

Great vibe to this place. Energetic with smiling faces all around. Service was impeccable. Alex was friendly and offered excellent suggestions. The Brussels sprouts were amazing. Melt in your mouth beef cheeks. Decadent flourless chocolate cake. The sweet and spicy pickles was a nice touch. read more

Yum. Everything was delicious. Made a reservation, but probably didn't need it. Our server was wonderful. We enjoyed the corn ribs, shrimp fried rice and bucatini. Everything we had was delicious! Can't wait to come back! read more

We had a terrific dinner here during a short stay in Walla Walla. There's a heatwave going on and it was a pleasure to walk into the restaurant and find it nicely air conditioned. The service was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed refreshing mocktails and then a delicious meal. Standouts were the rich shrimp toast appetizer and my chicken and griits, which had nicely balanced flavors, with the pickled peppers, creamy grits, and moist fried chicken. My son ordered the ribeye steak--a very generous portion and he raved about the smoky flavor and tenderness. The only downside was that the ribeye is a la carte; it would be nice if it came with a little vegetable. Really good meal! read more

My husband and I reserved a dinner spot to celebrate during our anniversary weekend and the location, service, beverage and food menu did not disappoint! Our friends had recommended the place because of the ambiance; it felt exactly like being back in New Orleans. The staff was stellar and kept the good times flowing. We had three appetizers, three different drinks between us, had a main course each, and dessert. The food tasting so rich and delicious we got carried away. For the price and quality, it was well worth it. Weeks have passed since our visit and we still yearn for the fried chicken, the octopus leg, the steak and gnocci and all the wonderful veggies and spices used to make the plates a reality. Compliments to the cook and bartenders, and to those responsible for the menu and drinks. Will definitely recommend this place to friends and family spending some time in the area. Enjoy! read more

Simply the best. From the moment you walk in the door you are treated with such kindness and respect. Food to service everything was absolutely stellar! Always, always get the pimento cheese and housemade dip. The celery & fig salad is my boyfriend's favorite salad ever! I love how perfectly they toast the bread on the neat & cheese board. Stepped outside our comfort zone and tried the pate, it was amazing as is everythibg on the menu! We sat at the bar which is beautiful! The bartender was so sweet but had a very weak shake, my drink was barely diluted and quite short compared to my boyfriend's, he did not care for his drink either. Dessert was another homerun ! Homemade huckleberry pie, you can't go wrong! This is my new go to for special occasions when in the area, skip passatempo on the next street over; not worth the wait or snarky attitudes! read more

Came on Saturday evening 5/30 since we saw the restaurant was somewhat full, we chose to eat outside. Service was awesome Denise was our waitress. She is friendly and helpful and made some recommendations. We ordered the chicken schnitzel, the grilled oysters, celery & fig salad, garlic Spatzle, asparagus and they had Pims #1 and Southside (with mint) everything was delicious and we will be back soon! My son was here last weekend and knew we would love this place! We are so impressed with the way the restaurant is managed and want you to know that all aspects of this restaurant are extraordinary! read more

We definitely had a five star experience at Hattaways. We ordered the pimento cheese appetizer, the celery parm salad, and the duck and lamb entrees. All were delicious. The service was excellent, and they've done a nice job with sound deadening materials to keep the place from being too noisy when full. We enjoyed the experience so much that we went back for the second night of our stay in Walla Walla and ordered the same dishes. read more

Went here for dinner with my whole family. We all ordered different items and nothing disappointed. I genuinely was surprised with how great the meal was. The cocktails were great and the beer and wine list was awesome too. I specifically had the pulled pork potatoes chip which was very good and light, and the beef and pork ragu was also amazing. The scallops were also a favorite and the chicken liver pate was one of the best I've ever had! read more

First meal ever in Walla Walla and it did NOT disappoint wow. Ok we definitely over ordered after some wine...but so glad we got to try everything! Brussels with bacon were delicious. Baked Mac and cheese perfectly baked. Creamy throughout with the perfect crisp on top. Shrimp perloo risotto was a generous portion with plenty of shrimp and delicious risotto. Perfect comfort food. BUT the underdog dish that won our hearts and mind was actually the pulled pork sandwich!! Unlike any other pulled pork that I've ever had. Not the stringy pork that you can microwave from QFC... it's legitimate pulled pork paired with these amazing pickled cucumbers (not a pickle not a cucumber...don't know what they're called), all on grilled sourdough. Was totally expecting a hamburger bun. The whole thing blew my mind and came with some delicious fries with also delicious aioli. Wow. Already considering ordering this again during our 3 day trip here. Bread pudding for desert was just divine. Not overly sweet. Very spongy and caramely. Perfect ending to an indulgent si read more

Smaller venue with a chef driven menu. I don't believe the menu changes frequently. In my opinion the prices you pay deserves more creativity and change up. . The dishes were prepared very well. Coffee and dessert were yum. A popular place you will want reservations read more

HATTAWAYS was a breath of fresh air coming from Boise which is a southern food desert ;), reminding me so much of my time spent in Nashville. Hipster + high end cozy is the vibe. We made reservations about a week ahead of time. We had no issues getting in then, but when we went to try to change our reservation to an earlier time the day of, they were booked up! Just an fyi. Cocktails are incredible. I ordered "The New Favorite" and it was well named!! Friends ordered from their wine list which was, as you might expect, quite nice!! For appetizers we got the collard greens and the pimento cheese. I LOVED the collard greens. So flavorful, nice texture with the beans and peanuts and really found the chili oil to be lovely. I however did not understand the pimento cheese appetizer. The cheese tasted great, but there was a very large scoop of cheese on a rather small cracker. The texture situation was weird...I wouldn't not normally eat pimento cheese by itself, but with such a small cracker there was no choice but to do just that. I found that dish to be a miss. For dinner I ordered the fried chicken over a spicy grit cake and it.was.so.good!!!!!! I ate every bite and could not stop saying "mmmm" the whole time. We took a flourless chocolate torte home for dessert to be eaten once space was freed up! It was soooooo good. We enjoyed it immensely. Not too sweet but creamy and perfect. Highly recommend! Next time I'm in WW, I will definitely be returning. read more

We loved our experience at HATTAWAY'S! Double date and everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. Service was solid. We actually got sat in the wine room and could hook up our own music - it definitely made the night! For apps we didn't mess around - Got the Chips and Dip (yum!), BBQ Chips (everyone raved about these), and the Oysters (good!). Two of us ordered the Chicken and Grits and agreed it was awesome. I assumed the chicken would be the star but honestly I think the grits won out. Just a great dish all around. Husband got the Grilled Pork Collar and cleaned the plate. My other friend got the Halibut Cheeks and enjoyed it. That said, she said she liked the BBQ Chips app even more and wish she had a plate full of them. Last but certainly not least, I ordered the Harvest Mule to drink... AMAZING! It gave me all the warm and fuzzy fall vibes. It's one of my favorite cocktails now! Going to try and make it at home... but y'all know that won't turn out, haha. I'll just have to plan another trip to Walla Walla to get me some more Harvest Moon. read more

Went for Valentine's dinner. Our waiter was helpful in explaining the specials for Valentine's and everything else. We ordered charcuterie plate for 2. Loved the pickled veggies. The variety of meat and cheese was okay. Pig chips was a little too sweet but manageable. Presentation was pretty. Buttered oysters was amazing! Perfectly portioned and the butter complimented the oysters with a little kick at the end.. The cream that was in the Celery Salad tasted like what my brother used in his marinated ahi tuna salad. Which was a great thing! Salad was outstanding! My husband ordered the duck breast. I forgot to request no onions. But, he toughed it out and swept the onions to the side. He didn't finish it as he said the duck had a gamey taste to it. Me jokingly saying, "well it's expected when it was just at Pioneer Park earlier" which was a great laugh for the both of us. Although, he at 80% of it our waiter surprisingly removed it from our tab. Which we weren't expecting at all. However, we gladly returned it as a tip for him. Also, we ordered the beef cheek gnocchi. Beef literraly melted in your mouth. We only took 2 bites and couldn't finish it because it was huge! So, we took it home. Overall, we had an outstanding dinner. Atmoshephere was beautfiul. Setting was warm and perfect for an intimate dinner. Thank you to my wonderful husband for the beautiful dinner and even when he wasn't feeling well. I love you and thank you Hatthaway's. *sorry my pictures are a bit blurry. read more

Fantastic meal. Very friendly service. Interesting menu choices. Definitely would return if in Walla Walla.

Service and ambiance were good but came on an off night I guess. Got a $70 tri tip ordered medium rare and took awhile to come out and got this. The waitress did ask if the kitchen could send it back to bring it up to temp but it's already cut and didn't want a pan fry refire. The other food was ok: broccolini was good but the oysters were so smoked and salty tasted like can of sardines, would prefer on the shell with a little smoke. The price was pretty steep so was a little disappointed because of all the good reviews. Others at the table also had their scallop dishes so salty they didn't finish. Will probably go elsewhere next time I'm in town. read more

HATTAWAY'S - Tri Tip "medium rare" - Southern Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

Service and ambiance were great! Food was unique but not exceptional. Worth going to while in Walla Walla.

That was honestly the worst restaurant we have ever eaten at. The charcuterie was basically nothing with some added nonsense. All I wanted was cheeses meats and breads. We got two meats and two cheeses, one meat tasted like raw pig meat and spam. The cheeses were good, but the bread was burnt. What's sad is that the burnt taste was the only flavor to the bread. They gave us a tiny cup of nuts with burnt spices inside and my wife and I just stared at each other. Then, my wife got the chicken and it was dry. I got the duck breast which was good, but the rice under the duck was burnt and crunchy. The whole vibe of the restaurant made no sense and the menu was so silly, I honestly didn't know what to eat. Normally I have no issues at restaurants but this place was over the top. Its not southern, its not american style, and its not good, dont go. read more
