Good food and wonderful service. The inside is tendy; the outside patio doesn't offer a view. It was a great seat but beware if you're here for the atmosphere. Truly a fantastic dinner!! read more

Chicken gizzard dirty rice $30 and swordfish $33. Both were tasty and portions were good. I took home half the dirty rice. Sat at the bar and got seated in 10 mi it's at the bar even though we didn't have reservations. Not too noisy average for a place that was pretty full. read more

This was a great little spot with incredibly friendly service and eclectic menu. The wine selections also paired nicely with the menu items. The only thing that impacted a less than five star rating was our table. My view was directly into the kitchen and dishwasher, which detracted from the ambience. read more

Solid southern food in Walla Walla! Recommend the Ribs, Tuna Crispy Rice, Brussel Sprouts and the desserts. Ordered all small plates as none of the entree options spoke to us. Portions are large and the food is very rich - 3 appetizers + dessert was more than enough food for 2. Great list of wines by the glass, especially the Cayuse and Leonetti Cellar options. read more

Literally everyone asked about food in Walla Walla said, Go to Hattaways. I can see why Hats has so many fans. We sat at the bar, Libby was attentive and kind. We started with the celery salad which was gorgeous, hazelnuts danced with the julienned celery and the fresh greens were just what we were looking for after a long day of wine. The Waygu Skirt steak was a great entree and the peppercorns were perfectly done, just the right amount. Hattaways was slammed when we were in and I want to shout out the kitchen. From Carlos to the line chefs to the guys washing dishes, you all were rocking. read more

Server was new but very nice. Husband loved his halibut cheeks! "So many great flavors on this plate!" I had the shrimp and risotto. Shrimp was delicious with just enough spice. Risotto was fine but wasn't as flavorful and could have been cooked more for my taste. read more

We are celebrating my grandson's graduation from Whitman College! This is our last dinner here in Walla Walla! Food was a total surprise! Delicious! We had a private room surrounded by wine bottles. Our waitress was so nice. This is my favorite restaurant so far, having visited Walla Walla for the first time. We were here 4 days trying many restaurants. Food was good in Walla Walla. Thank you! read more

This was a great find thanks to Yelp. On our most recent visit to Walla Walla we found some of our old favorite restaurants closed. Fortunately Hattaway's emerged. We enjoyed the oysters to start. Fried chicken with grits was an excellent version of a southern classic, and Steelhead salmon represented some of the best of the Northwest. The space is cozy, with small close tables. We struck up a conversation about wine with the table next to us. Service was prompt and helpful. Attaway Hattaway's. read more

A nice change from the usual fare in downtown- emphasizing comfort food. It mostly works with one big exception. Started with sweet corn beignets that were perfect - moist and hearty at the same time and a guilty pleasure. The sticky ribs were another winner - super tasty with a nice char, and sweet Asian sesame style sauce. The Cucumber Celery salad with poached figs was delightful- drizzled celery was a great compliment to the richness of the wine -poached figs. Where it went awry was the Halibut cheeks over grits (more of a creamy polenta). The cheeks were skillet charred - like no halibut cheek should ever be cooked, as this is a delicate part of the halibut that is easy to overcook. They also had a fishy taste that wrecked the otherwise creamy polenta. The crème fraish addition couldn't save it. It would've been far better with shrimp. Better to stick to the chicken, steaks, or pork chops that merit the missing star. I'd go so far as to recommend dropping the halibut cheeks from the menu as it doesn't work with the otherwise stellar options. Next time we'll try out the other mains. Service was terrific - friendly and prompt, and servers knew the menu and drinks well. read more

Beautiful restaurant with pretentious pricing. We strolled in to try their desserts after dinner down at another establishment, based on Yelp review. The hostess was friendly and sat us in their over flow seating area. We visited at 7:30 which is peak Friday night diner, I guess. Our sever was friendly, helpful and patient. We ordered a couple Amaro Nanino (after dinner drinks), a bread pudding and salmon puffs. The salmon puffs tasted very fishy and maybe not so fresh. Not sure where the fish is sourced. The bread was delicious and devoured quickly. The restaurant seems like a local favorite. This traveler is a little skeptical. read more

The service was great-- fast and friendly! The sticky ribs are out of this world good, I'm sure I'll dream about them. I swear they're insanely good! The celery salad sounds weird but perfectly refreshing on a hot day. The shrimp on the shrimp and grits was cooked perfectly and seasoned great. This place is a do not miss on your walla walla trip! Go! You won't be disappointed! read more

Wowza.... I had the best fish of my life at Hattaway's. The southern-style steelhead was absolutely incredible-perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and so fresh. The seasoning was spot on, and it melted in my mouth. The atmosphere was just as great, with friendly service and a cozy vibe. And if you're a fan of dessert, the Heath Bar bread pudding is a must-try- rich, indulgent, and the perfect way to end the meal. I can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely be back! read more

We walked in on a Wednesday and sat at the bar. It was fun to watch the expo line as you are seated looking into the kitchen area. We had the clams and sausage for $30 as well as the pan seared halibut cheeks for $39. The flavors were delicious but the portion sizes felt small for the price. I get clams near Tacoma WA at a few of my favorite restaurants there and portions sizes are bigger, price a little less and still the same quality Manila clams. 3 of 10 or so clams didn't open so I put them aside. Bit of a bummer! My husbands dish was delicious but honestly we both left still feeling a bit hungry. read more

Wow, this place is amazing. I made a reservation for four for my wife's birthday and we were lucky enough to be seated in the wine room - a glassed off room where we got to play our own music over blue tooth. It's a working wine room where- servers came in and out to grab bottles when guests ordered them, which was fun to watch. We all had a cocktail and then shared a bottle of wine. The cocktails were all lovely and well-balanced and there was a great selection of Walla Walla wines. We started with the pimento for an appetizer - don't skip this - it was a taste bomb of flavor. I had the pork collar for my main which was awesome with the crispy rice. Everyone else had the chicken schnitzel which they thoroughly enjoyed. We split the bread pudding for dessert which was delicious - hearty and sweet without being cloying. Service was pleasant and prompt. Go! read more

Delicious food...halibut cheeks & swordfish entrees are excellent. Creative salads. Staff is friendly and service was quick. Very busy spot.

AMBIANCE (5/5): We had a group of 7 people and got lucky enough to sit in their wine room! It's soundproof and such a cool vibe surrounded by all the best wines in the restaurant. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. SERVICE (4/5): Service was great! They were very attentive and brought out the food very quickly. FOOD (5/5): $18 STICKY RIBS: They were crispy on the outside & delicious! Felt Asian inspired? $19 ROASTED OYSTERS: AMAZING! I usually don't like hot oysters, but the crispy panko breadcrumbs & mayo aioli were a great combo. LOVED! $15 CELERY PARMESAN SALAD: sounded weird, but it was only HALF CELERY + HALF ARUGULA. Very refreshing. $29 SHRIMP FRIED RICE: one of the BEST fried rice I've had anywhere & I've had a lot! Trust me & order this. $30 UMAMI STEELHEAD: WOW! This was amazing! Highly recommend if you feel like a lighter option. $31 SPAETZLE & SUNDAY SAUCE: this was my least favorite dishes. It was pasta with ragu sauce pretty much. I'd pass on this one. MKT$ BONE-IN RIBEYE: this was good, but I thought the steelhead was better! Just depends what you're in the mood for. Shareable! Ours was 24 ounces. OVERALL (4.5/5): I was HIGHLY IMPRESSED with every single dish that came out here. I literally flew in the GEORGIA the same day I tried this restaurant, found out the owners are originally from Savanah, GA. Opened up this restaurant with a Southern flare and it was better than most of the restaurants I've eaten in Georgia. BRAVO! Highly recommend this spot. Please go here! Keep up the great work. I'll be back. read more

In a town known for its fine wines and small-town charm, Hattaway's on Alder brings something unexpected -- a taste of the South polished with Northwest finesse. Tucked just off Walla Walla's main drag, the restaurant hums with the low, steady confidence of a kitchen that knows exactly who it is and what it wants to say. The evening begins with a plate of Frog Hollow tomato salad, a vibrant ode to late summer - thick slices of sun-warmed heirloom tomatoes glistening with olive oil, finished with just enough salt and herbs to let their natural sweetness sing. Alongside, the sweet corn beignets arrive like little golden clouds, crisp on the outside and tender within, served with a touch of honey butter that walks the line between indulgent and irresistible. Salads here are far from an afterthought. The celery Parmesan salad is a masterclass in restraint - cool, crisp ribbons of celery tossed with shards of nutty cheese and a whisper of lemon, refreshing the palate between bites. For mains, the pan-seared halibut cheeks prove why this humble cut deserves star billing. Delicately caramelized, the fish yields to the fork with buttery softness, resting on a bed of seasonal vegetables that taste as though they were harvested that morning. The chicken & grits, meanwhile, is Southern comfort at its most elevated - perfectly fried chicken paired with creamy, stone-ground grits that soak up a savory jus with soulful abandon. And just when you think you can't manage another bite, dessert arrives: the Deschutes Black Butte Porter bread pudding. Dense, dark, and lush with malty richness, it's the kind of sweet ending that makes you linger long after the plates have been cleared -- a quiet, contemplative finish to a meal that feels deeply rooted yet refreshingly modern. At Hattaway's, hospitality isn't just a gesture; it's a rhythm -- one that invites you to slow down, savor, and be reminded that good food, when made with heart, always tells a story. read more

This is about as good as any restaurant you'd find in a cosmopolitan city. Walla Walla is fortunate to have such quality and attention to detail. The Old Fashioned was excellent and the bartender was more than attentive. We were at the bar so we could watch the parade of apps and dinner plates appear from the kitchen. I would make sure to put this place on your radar if you've never been to this area. Oh, I almost forgot about the dessert. I won't even try to describe it but it was probably the best dessert of the year and maybe the best of 2024 as well. Keep up the great work all of you wonderful people making it happen at Hattaway's! read more

Our first dinner in Walla Walla based on Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed. 7PM reservation on their street side patio to watch the sun go down. I mentioned my wife's birthday and there was a card on the table and a small glass of sparkling wine at the end of the dinner. Friendly responsive service. Generous wine pour of Chardonnay (on tap) for $10. Sticky ribs were delicious but wish there could have been 6 instead of 5 so we could evenly divide them. 1st 2 courses came quickly but it took a while to get our entrees. The definitely deserve all the good reviews they have received. read more

This is my first 3-star rating in quite a while. : ( The food was very good. The sweet corn beignets were so good. Light, not oily, with a wonderful slightly spicy honey butter. The Frog Hollow Tomato Salad had very tasty heirloom tomatoes with a pecan vinaigrette that I ate with a spoon before turning in the plate. The celery salad was unique and delicious. Our entree was the Citrus Glazed Sterlhead which was cooked to perfection on top of a really interesting green (herb) rice. Finally the Black Butte Porter Bread Pudding with a whisky glaze was hot, moist and delicious. BUT the portions were a little on the small side and the pacing was awful. Our salads arrived 95 minutes after we sat down, the entrees didn't arrive for another 30 minutes after that even though we asked our waiter to put those orders in early - while we were still waiting for the salads. The waiter apologized a couple of times but didn't do anything to address the situation until the end of the meal when he brought a champagne toast on the house for the "small hiccup" with our meal. Since we told him at the beginning of the meal that we weren't going to drink that night this added no value to the meal - we left the champagne untouched. While our waiter is not responsible for a slow kitchen, he could have reached out to the manager (who also should have been aware of the situation with the kitchen) and how it was affecting the diners. read more

Dinner here was such a wonderful way to wrap up a day of tasting in Walla Walla! The table ordered oysters and Brussels sprouts to start and the Brussels sprouts were so good that we ended up getting 3 more orders. They are pure magic! I got the shrimp fried rice and it was crunchy, flavorful, and incredible. I LOVED it! They had plenty of gluten free and pescatarian options on the menu, but my vegetarian friends mostly ordered starters. We wished the wine list would have been a bit more lengthy or impressive given the location of the restaurant, we had a hard time finding something we liked and our waitress didn't know what would pair with our meal. It feels like they could have had some pre selected wine pairings or something due to the nature of the restaurant. The service was okay! Our server was kind but did get a few things confused. We were a big group, so didn't really mind and were patient about this. I would totally come back for the food! read more

Started the evening with cocktails, then dinner & dessert. Everyone was accommodating, pleasant, and efficient, until we had finished our dinner, but still drinking our wine...The waitress dropped off the bill and told us we needed to leave as the next reservation was waiting for the table, I still had a full glass of wine! She then kept coming by to encourage us to finish by looking at her watch! when I'm out to a nice restaurant I don't like to be rushed. (We were there less than 2 hrs) So dinner was delicious, but if you actually like too enjoy your food without having to scarf it down, this would not be the place to come. read more

Incredibly flavorful and expertly created food. The menu had a nice variety and the serving size was perfect.
