Such a wonderful restaurant on the edge of Wallowa Lake! The…read moresweet couple who run the restaurant, Michael & Dionne, are second generation owner/operators, and oh so kind! From the moment we walked in, Michael asked the last name on the reservation and had memorized first when we told him. Vali's does one meal per evening, from 6pm-8pm and requires reservations. Everyone is served the same meal, with the only option variations being in drinks and the dessert you choose. The meal include appetizers, main course, and dessert. They have a menu that varies week to week, but that is always delicious! Tonight we enjoyed pork schnitzel, red cabbage, and au gratin potatoes! The pork schnitzel was perfectly tender with a crispy crust, the red cabbage cooked JUST right with a perfect amount of sweetness, and the au gratin potatoes were nice & cheesy! Our dessert options were between Pistachio Creme Brulee with Cherries, Chocolate Ginache, or Apple Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream. My Pistachio Creme Brulee was AMAZING, as was my wife's Apple Cobbler! The entire meal is such a personal experience, hosted by this wonderful couple that you KNOW want you to have the best experience possible. We didn't get to speak with Dionne, just received a kind wave from the kitchen, with a "Thank you for coming in!" I'd love to have Dionne come out from the kitchen to socialize after the desserts have been served! She seemed very sweet. All in all, I can't recommend this place enough. There was a table of eight, with four generations, that said they'd been coming annually for many years, and I can't blame them. Vali's and Wallowa Lake are a long drive from most places, but are both worth the drive. Exquisite scenery, wonderful people, and remarkable food!

If you don't like what they are serving that day, call ahead to see if they can substitute. They do homemade donuts as well but it gets booked up. Very good! I'd recommend going!

I ordered a chai and The Basic breakfast sandwich w/ bacon which was very tasty. The second stop, the woman taking my order welcomed me back, and I got another chai and a fig/bacon croissant on our drive out. The ambiance is cute with warm decor, indoor/outdoor seating, friendly staff and crowded but not too crowded on each visit.

We got a huckleberry bar, chocolate bar, hot chocolate, and huckleberry mocha. The pastries were the lightest I've had in a long time. The frosting was perfectly light as well. I was surprised my mocha had real pieces of huckleberry in it! That tells you how fresh ingredients are! Staff was friendly and the interior was very inviting.
