Museum
History Museums
Nestled within the expansive Fort Walla Walla Park, the Fort Walla Walla Museum is a captivating destination that offers a glimpse into the rich history of the United States Army fort. The museum's 15-acre site features four exhibit halls showcasing an array of military weapons, artifacts, antique vehicles, firefighting equipment, agricultural tools, and textiles. Additionally, visitors can explore a 17-building pioneer village and enjoy engaging living history performances and children's programs.
You can tell a lot of time and effort has been put into this museum to make it a great experience for all ages. Multiple buildings to explore, as well as outside areas. Great place to take children, and adults alike, to learn history of the area and what it was like living and working in the 1800s. Friendly and knowledgeable employees/volunteers. Impressive displays with period photography and items, to go along with explanations of it all. Check calendars of events for special things going on, including scavenger hunts and speakers. Great gift shop as well.

One of the best museums I have been to. Very very simple but interesting ,even for kids.Its well maintained and not boring at all. Has lot of history ,very nice displays and yet not tiring. The kids loved the scavenger hunt ! Nice playgrounds for kids to have fun just incase they get bored. Wish they had a small cafeteria kind of place too 😊

It was well done. The main lodge is very nicely decorated and easy to navigate. They have some nice displays of frontier life. There are five or six other buildings with full sized horses (plastic but nicely painted) pulling plows and other farm machinery. Then there are old buildings moved to the site and restored. There is a playground. Bring a picnic for a nice day out.

I enjoyed this place so much! I love history, especially about the area I live. There are over 20 buildings to see and more artifacts than you can count. It's focus is the history of the Walla Walla area from when the first settlers arrived until the 1960's. The agricultural achievements, interacting with Indian tribes from all over Eastern Washington, to the forming of the original government, it's all here. There are video interactive displays. ( Do the one for the penitentiary!) My favorite part was the Pioneer village. A collection of real buildings that were donated to, and moved to the museum. They are so cool! Hard to imagine living in such small places! I grew up in, and still live in the Pacific Northwest. My dad took me to every museum and dam we could find. I did the same with my daughter. Places like this create lifelong family memories. I highly recommend it. Admission prices are $12 adult. $10 senior or student. $5 kids 6-12. Free kids 5 and under.

This museum was absolutely fascinating. It had some amazing exhibits and showcases the history of Walla Walla as a key stop on the Oregon Trail so well. With so many people visiting Walla Walla I was surprised that it wasn’t busy. The lady at reception was so helpful and interesting. Don’t miss it!

Had an excellent time with my daughter and her fourth grade class. Anita, our guide (docent), led us through the exhibits and gave us background and context for all of the pieces. Everything was clean, the staff in the gift shop was friendly, and there was a lot to see both inside and out. We appreciated the A/C in the main building and the nicely kept grounds outside. The play structure was fun to have as well (although a little full with so many students).

Excellent museum! Love the amount of information & artifacts the museum had on display. We were fortunate enough to have a volunteer waiting for a group provide us information when we arrived in the room with horses/ steam engine, water wagon. This would be so worth a personal tour although you can download an audio guide that is well worth doing.

Pioneer Park, established in 1902, is the oldest park in Walla Walla and spans 46 acres. Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, known as the father of landscape architecture and designer of New York City's Central Park, it offers a peaceful escape with its picturesque walking paths, an aviary, a duck pond, ball fields, and flower gardens. Visitors can relax under large trees or enjoy activities like soccer, softball, pickleball courts, and table tennis.
This is a large scenic park that will not disappoint. There are picnic tables, playground, lots of trees, nature, and serenity. It is peaceful. The park is well maintained. Let's all do our part to keep it beautiful.

Loved being able to just be outside and be in nature exploring and walking. What a great park for picnicking, walking, or even playing on the playground. Would definitely try and begin water as it does get hot and not certian if the water fountains are always on. There's sometimes in the summer some ice-cream truck that come by and sell ice-cream.

Free public park with a variety of treasures. The madrone trees are huge. There is a pond with turtles, an aviary with exotic birds and a large tortoise and a memorial rose garden. A few picnic tables are available. If you’re looking for a mini-break to stretch your legs and mind, this is it.

Great park to work out (pickle ball, jump rope, part of an overall run ). The aviary is also really interesting and the grounds are beautiful.
Matthew R — Google review
I just stopped in at this park after not having been here in about 20 years or so. I was so impressed with the updates! There’s even an Aviary now. The old gazebo is still there and looks like it’s had plenty of repair and attention. The grass, trees, flowers, etc… all look very well maintained. I ate my lunch at a picnic table that has seen better days, so perhaps it’s time to replace them. But other than that, I am very happy to say this park is fantastic! Better than it was back in the Late 90s and early 00s.

At first, it looked like a well cared for park, but then i saw the aviary. So many birds and it was clear that they get attention and love. I will be coming back here! Other than the birds, the trees all look very old, which is rare for a park. There are 6 or so really ancient trees that all encircled a large gazebo. I can easily see weddings taking place here. Additionally, there are various flower patches and art installations around. Very nicely put together park.

Lake
Bennington Lake is a picturesque man-made lake located just 10 minutes from downtown Walla Walla, offering a perfect opportunity for a morning hike or a relaxing picnic lunch. Surrounded by the rolling hills and the northern Blue Mountains, this scenic spot provides over 20 miles of trails to explore, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
So there isn't really a Bennington lake trail, rather 3 trails you can go on from Bennington lake. Kingfisher, Whitetail and Meadowlark. I did Meadowlark. They are all really great trails. There are a ton of off shoot trails to explore with no chance of getting lost. Lots of hikers, runners, dogs and joggers. This is a great family area. The hike are relatively short and hardly and elevation. I'll be back for sure.

Great place to fish, walk, or have a picnic. Picturesque and beautiful in the spring. Great for kayaking and paddle boarding because no gas motors are allowed on the lake. Has a nice boat ramp so that you can drop your kayak in the water and don't have to walk it up and down.
Rhiannon B — Google review
Great walking area with lots of nice views. Amenities are accessible. Available parking, I see others fish here, I have not yet. A little information spot about the purpose of the lake being made in this spot ( pretty interesting). I have far more to explore for sure 😊

Nice walking/biking trails. A fair amount of parking. Lake was very, very dry/low when we visited in February 2023. I'm not sure if it's regular for it to go down during the season. But the boat ramp was unusable and blocked off. However, there are all kinds of signs for kayaking and lots of other things. So when the lake is full, I am sure there is water fun. It's a good place to stop. Beautiful. Just out side walla walla.

Performing arts theater

We took a group of our clients to this theater for a live showing of a Shakespeare production. What an amazing experience. Not just because for most of us it was the first time we had watched something like this but really it was the atmosphere that made it truly unforgettable and unique. The theater is one of the oldest structures in Walla Walla and it has been restored beautifully. The staff were superb and there were no seats that are bad seats. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who would enjoy this type of evening out.
Travis M — Google review
Beautiful venue, very special and full of character. We recently attended a wedding there with a 20's speakeasy theme and it was perfect for it. Between the main space and old theater in the back, it had an abundance of personality and everyone seemed to have a great time. My only piece of constructive criticism would be around the manager of the venue, who seemed irritated all night and really put out by the entire event. I don't believe this to be true, however, but my suggestion to her would be that a wedding is one of the most special events in a person's life, so perhaps a smile now and again could go a long way. I know that I echo many of the guests' sentiments. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Cocktail bar
Hattaway's on Alder is a charming restaurant in Walla Walla that brings together the flavors of the Pacific Northwest and the traditions of the South. The menu features a fusion of local ingredients with southern dishes, offering options from land, sea, and pasture. The cozy and inviting ambiance makes it suitable for various occasions, from casual dining to special gatherings. With its beautifully designed bar and patio, Hattaway's provides a delightful setting for an unforgettable dining experience.
We had dinner here for the first time last night, and I can't wait to return! This restaurant had been on our "to try" list for quite a while, so we made it our first stop on the Walla Walla Restaurant Month 2025 tour. We opted for the Prix-Fixe menu (photo included). We brought our own bottle of wine, and the corkage fee was $25 per bottle. We had reservations, and upon arrival, we were promptly welcomed and seated. The service was friendly, attentive, and detail-oriented. Each course was beautifully plated and full of flavor. For appetizers, we shared the Roasted Duck Spring Rolls and the Deviled Eggs—both were fantastic. For our main courses, we had the Chili Braised Pork Shank and the Smoked Steelhead Fettuccine. I loved the meat from the steelhead belly, and the portion of pasta was generous! The Bananas Foster-inspired dessert was the perfect ending to the meal, and the meringue crisps were unique—everything came together perfectly. The entire menu is creative and full of tempting options, and I’m definitely looking forward to coming back soon!

We celebrated my birthday at Hattaway's and had such a fantastic evening on the patio. The vibes were chill with a relaxed volume on the stereo. The food and drinks were delicious. I was pleased with the spirits offered and every plate was high quality. We got generous tuna crackers for an app, my beau had the steelhead and I ordered the chicken and grits. Chef's kiss, it'd be dangerous for me to live nearby because I could eat that chicken every day. For dessert we ordered the bread pudding as well as the butterscotch pudding - both perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The service was very friendly and unobtrusive. She gave us both some complimentary champagne to go with our desserts, on the house, for the birthday celebration. So nice! We had a great time and highly recommend coming to Hattaway's while in Walla Walla.

We had dinner at Hattaway's, our first time visit this past week on a Saturday evening. There were six of us celebrating my birthday. We were all blown away with the amazing service (Marissa was our server), seated at a table in the special wine room up front. It was so cool to be in that room and it just made the evening for us. The food was incredible - we all had the Halibut which was delicious and cooked perfectly! We also had the oysters on a half shell (exceptional) as well as the tomato salad and a few other sides. I can't express enough how much we enjoyed both the atmosphere of the special wine room and the food. Such a wonderful time and memory! Will definitely dine here again next time we are in Walla Walla.

Made advance dinner reservation here for our recent trip to Walla Walla. Ordered the celery salad as a starter. Mentioned that we were going to share it and the waitress had it plated separately without even asking - nice attention to detail. Had the Halibut with grits and Honey Glazed Pork Collar. Both dishes were delicious and well portioned. The service staff was attentive and professional.
John W — Google review
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.

Came for my birthday dinner and (as always) was completely blown away by how delicious the food was, as well as how wonderful the service was! Libby was our server, and she was great! We had pimento cheese, and it was delicious and a large serving. I ordered the tri tip gratin, and my partner ordered the scallops. We split the broccoli. Everything was absolutely scrumptious, and we cleared our plates. I tried their seasonal "them apples" drink, which is a twist on a Gimlet. My new favorite! The chocolate torte was a great way to end the meal. 100% recomend!

The four of us were seated in their Wine Room which is a private area with a table for up to 8, surrounded by beautiful bottles of wine. Our server was very attentive and provided helpful suggestions for food choices. The menu is eclectic for sure, with many interesting choices. The food was delicious, nicely presented with generous portions. It was expensive for sure - not for the budget minded. But it was a good value nevertheless.

I was not disappointed with taking my mother out for dinner. Omg the pickles, so good. We shared the smoked tuna dip, celery salad, she got the halibut cheeks, I got the duck with dirty rice, and bread pudding. All of it was amazing. The cocktails were lovely. Service was a beautiful flow of people genuinely glad to see us. Highly recommend this place, though reservations are recommended in advance as their bar area is not big for walk-ins.

Breakfast restaurant
The Maple Counter Cafe is a charming, family-run eatery that offers gourmet breakfasts and light lunches alongside a selection of craft beers and local wines. With three generations of restaurant expertise, the Nagier family uses locally sourced ingredients to create dishes from scratch, including fresh organic eggs and locally baked bread. The cozy ambiance features homey decor reminiscent of Grandma's kitchen, while the menu boasts buttermilk pancakes and souffle-like apple pancakes that bring dessert flavors to breakfast.
This place is a zoo, crowded wall to wall with people eating as well as so many people waiting to get in to get seated. I must say this must happen every day because these people handle the lines very well, the lines don’t last as long as they look. We thought by the look of things it was gonna be a two hour away, but we got in within 20 to 25 minutes , which was awesome. We had mimosas which started our day nicely with a great tasting breakfast. They accommodated special requests. The food came in a timely matter, and the quality of taste was fantastic. The staff is very experienced, efficient and nice. If you have a few minutes to wait, I highly recommend this place to have a great breakfast for your long day of wine tasting. I would highly recommend making some reservations so you don’t have to wait.

I write this while in the daze of a happy food coma. Arrived at 11:45 am on a Friday and it was busy enough to be bustling but not so busy that it required a wait. I ordered a vegan skillet (It's not on the menu, you gotta ask for the secret vegan options). It was so good. Fresh, seared, local veggies on a bed of skillet potatoes with seasoned tofu and avocado. It was so much food. I only finished a third of it and took a to-go box for the rest. The Peach Bellini was the perfect sipper while waiting. The staff was on point. My server came by frequently and was courteous and gave me a friendly heads up that it requires extra cooking time to keep separate from the meals being cooked in butter. Thank you for the perfect meal to start a day of downtown exploring.

We had breakfast here right around brunch time. The wait was about 30 minutes and the place was packed. Was it worth yet? Absofrickenloutly! Two words...Apple Pancake! Holy gigantic and DELICIOUS! It fed 4 people as a side to our main meals and we still had left overs. I had the corned beef hash as my main. Can't go wrong with that either if you like corned beef. The corned beef was tender, flavorful and plentiful, as were the delicious potatoes the corned beef is bedded on. I also tried the bloody mary which was delightful, though after seeing the whipped cream towered coffee drink the table next to us had, I wished I had more time so I could have tried one of those too. We don't live in or near Walla Walla but I'll be making the trek back as Walla Walla had many wonderful places to enjoy and the Maple Counter Cafe will definitely be on my return list. BTW, they don't take reservations but they do have an online waiting list. Highly recommend doing that.

This place is busy !! You can check in online and get on the waiting list. They don't take reservations but wait time really isn't that long. We waited 15min. Space is big, they have outdoor seating in the front but also have a back area as well. Paulo was our server and she was amazing! So friendly and she listened. We ordered the eggs Benedict to split so asked for an extra plate and when she brought our food our meals were already split up. We were so impressed with her. Each step of our experience she checked in to ensure we were ok. We had the pancakes and they were so perfect. Coffees are good as well. Place is very clean given how busy it is. It's a must when in Walla Walla!

Restaurant
Saffron Mediterranean Kitchen is a charming and romantic restaurant that offers a unique twist on Spanish and Italian cuisine. Led by Chef Chris Ainsworth, the kitchen infuses flavors from Southern Europe and North Africa with local ingredients and exotic spices to create sophisticated dishes. The menu features an array of small plates, flatbreads, housemade pastas, and wood-fired grilled entrees like pork chops, Dry Creek lamb, and Coho salmon. The restaurant also offers vegetarian-friendly options.
This restaurant is phenomenal. The hospitality is amazing, and the ambiance is even better. The staff is very friendly. The food is delicious and definitely worth every penny. And I will be back again and again. It's a wonderful choice for fine dining in Walla Walla. Be sure to make a reservation so that you can get your seat. Otherwise, you can probably squeeze in at the bar if it's early enough. A must try!

I was excited to try this restaurant because the online menu looked amazing, and the reviews were really good. However, I just felt middle of the road about everything, to be honest. The service was polite and expedient, but very remote and aloof (it was fine, but we got such warm good service everywhere else that it really stood out). The visual atmosphere was gorgeous and romantic, BUT we were seated next to the door and there is a deeply obnoxious bell on it that rang every 3 seconds. It is so hard to relax when DING-A-LING you are DING-A-LING interrupted DING-A-LING ever few seconds. I was most excited about the food, but again just kind of let down. The pasta I had was really yummy, but the tuna in it did not taste fresh at all. I don't want to throw accusations around, but it tasted exactly like canned tuna. With the prices we were paying, that was confusing. Overall, nothing would make me give an extremely bad review, but nothing really amazed me about the place. Maybe I just need to try another dish. My husband liked the flatbread, so maybe I should get that next time.

22 Years and Still Spicing Things Up! We came to Saffron to celebrate our 22nd anniversary, and let me tell you—this place brought the flavor AND goodness. Every bite was a reminder that great things just get better with time (like marriage… and steak, pork, lamb). The food was legit—bold, fresh, and downright unforgettable. The service? Impeccable. We felt cared for, not just served. After 22 years, we’ve eaten a lot of meals together—but this one’s going in the highlight reel.

Driving home to western Washington from a camping trip in Idaho, I stopped in Walla Walla for the night. One of the shop owners recommended I dine at Saffron, a Mediterranean kitchen with a strong Moroccan influence. It’s a place I’d like to go back to with friends so I can taste more of the wonderful small plates. (They also serve entrees, pastas and flatbreads.) The meal had everything a good restaurant meal should have. An informed and engaging server, a unique menu, original cocktails that include my new favorite, an herbaceous Negroni-style drink called the Drink Me Seymour, interesting dishes that looked as good as they tasted and an unhurried, relaxing ambience. I started with the cocktail and Fattoush, a refreshing tomato, cucumber and toasted Moroccan bread salad deliciously spiced with fresh herbs, Kefalotyri cheese, Walla Walla onions and green olives. My server Chad suggested the beef cheeks, prepared on a bed of black eye peas with preserved lemon, green and yellow summer squash sautéed with onion and brought together with a salty spicy sauce of house-made tahini, hawaj and fresh herbs (that paired wonderfully with a glass of Two Vintners Grenache and some dense homemade sourdough bread). I would happily have eaten more — the desserts looked delicious as well — I consider this is a destination restaurant worth a trip to Walla Walla all on its own.

Poor service. Took 90 minutes to get our main course, and the restaurant was half full. Menu looks very interesting and exotic. but the food was wholly unremarkable. Green beans were mealy and with a weird sauce that only further buried it. Cocktail tried too hard and didn’t succeed. The flat breads were very average, we’ve had so many versions elsewhere that were superior. Same with the wings. We ate at several other restaurants while here that were much more enjoyable. Ambiance is very nice. We ate at a restaurant with the same name a number of years ago and were hoping to have that same wonderful experience. Nope. We have a group of 8 friends who are coming next week and we let them know they should not come here as we had previously recommended.

For dessert we ordered the bread pudding as well as the butterscotch pudding - both perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The service was very friendly and unobtrusive. She gave us both some complimentary champagne to go with our desserts, on the house, for the birthday celebration. So nice! We had a great time and highly recommend coming to Hattaway's while in Walla Walla.

We had dinner at Hattaway's, our first time visit this past week on a Saturday evening. There were six of us celebrating my birthday. We were all blown away with the amazing service (Marissa was our server), seated at a table in the special wine room up front. It was so cool to be in that room and it just made the evening for us. The food was incredible - we all had the Halibut which was delicious and cooked perfectly! We also had the oysters on a half shell (exceptional) as well as the tomato salad and a few other sides. I can't express enough how much we enjoyed both the atmosphere of the special wine room and the food. Such a wonderful time and memory! Will definitely dine here again next time we are in Walla Walla.

Made advance dinner reservation here for our recent trip to Walla Walla. Ordered the celery salad as a starter. Mentioned that we were going to share it and the waitress had it plated separately without even asking - nice attention to detail. Had the Halibut with grits and Honey Glazed Pork Collar. Both dishes were delicious and well portioned. The service staff was attentive and professional.

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.

Came for my birthday dinner and (as always) was completely blown away by how delicious the food was, as well as how wonderful the service was! Libby was our server, and she was great! We had pimento cheese, and it was delicious and a large serving. I ordered the tri tip gratin, and my partner ordered the scallops. We split the broccoli. Everything was absolutely scrumptious, and we cleared our plates. I tried their seasonal "them apples" drink, which is a twist on a Gimlet. My new favorite! The chocolate torte was a great way to end the meal. 100% recomend!

The four of us were seated in their Wine Room which is a private area with a table for up to 8, surrounded by beautiful bottles of wine. Our server was very attentive and provided helpful suggestions for food choices. The menu is eclectic for sure, with many interesting choices. The food was delicious, nicely presented with generous portions. It was expensive for sure - not for the budget minded. But it was a good value nevertheless.

I was not disappointed with taking my mother out for dinner. Omg the pickles, so good. We shared the smoked tuna dip, celery salad, she got the halibut cheeks, I got the duck with dirty rice, and bread pudding. All of it was amazing. The cocktails were lovely. Service was a beautiful flow of people genuinely glad to see us. Highly recommend this place, though reservations are recommended in advance as their bar area is not big for walk-ins.

French restaurant
Brasserie Four, situated on Main Street in Walla Walla, is a charming French cafe that offers a delightful selection of classic French dishes and pizzas alongside an array of Washington wines. The restaurant features local artwork adorning its walls, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere for guests to enjoy their meals.
A True Walla Walla Gem Brasserie Four is hands down one of our favorite restaurants of all time. The steak frites are simply unbeatable—perfectly cooked steak paired with crisp, golden fries that keep us coming back. My husband and I cherish our date nights here; the atmosphere is warm, charming, and feels so quintessentially Walla Walla. But this place isn't just for romantic evenings. Whether you're catching up with a friend at the bar or enjoying the sunshine on the patio with a drink and fries, Brasserie Four delivers every time. One of our newest favorite things to do is sit out on the patio with our pup, soaking up the sun while enjoying delicious food and drinks. It’s such a joyful way to spend an afternoon. & The staff are fabulous—friendly, attentive, and always make us feel right at home. We feel so lucky to have this gem in our very town!

I love this place. The only place in town to get French food, but it is reasonably priced ($70 for 2) and very good. Service is excellent. Good wine selection and desserts. Good daily specials. The only downside is that it is noisy and difficult to have a conversation.

Wow 🤩 Food was amazing and a beautiful selection of local wines and wines from around the world. We had a fantastic evening to round off an incredible day, celebrating a milestone event for our wine story telling family business Spoken Wines.

Great food with great service, the one issue you I had was, the BEST steak I ever had, now I’m in Texas where all they can do is SAY they make the best steak. Well worth a visit. Great food at reasonable prices.

I'm not sure which was better - the food, the outdoor seating, or the company. The latter consisted of a mix of locals as well as visitors to Walla Walla like myself. All of us agreed that Brasserie Four is one of the top restaurants in town. The seafood and even the house salad were amazing. The ambiance is elevated and quaint. The service was exceptional with friendly and attentive wait staff. Downtown Walla Walla - and its people - made this a wonderfully memorable trip.

This was my first trip to Walla Walla and our first stop. Loved, loved, loved Brasserie Four. We enjoyed their outdoor seating area, kept warm by their patio heaters. Our vodka, soda, lime drinks were perfectly poured. Three out of the four of us ordered identical meals; a bowl of French onion soup and a baguette to start, a Croque Monsieur sandwich as our main course, and Creme Brulee for dessert. All were delicious! As for service...fabulous. All the weight staff were courteous, accommodating and Johnny-on-the-spot. As for price...reasonable considering the quality and type of food. My three-course meal was about $40. (Drink price not included in that total.) I felt this was very reasonable for what was, in my opinion, a five-star meal at a five-star restaurant. Nowhere in my neck of the woods do we have a good french restaurant, let alone at these prices. Bummer I didn't take pictures to share. I will definutely return on my next trip to Walla Walla.

Came in on a Saturday afternoon. Wine walk goin on. Got seated. No reservation. Prompt service. Very clean. Very polite. Waitress discussed menus and specials Chose some appetizers the cheese selection and the olives. Very nice. Cheese selection had a lot of different options. Very good. The olives were a mix. Seasoned and had a little orange zest in there which was nice. Got an entree. The steak frite. Steak and fries. Ordered med rare. More on the rare side than the medium. A little pepper we added. The black peppercorn sauce they served with it was amazing The fries were perfect. Absolutely done correctly. A little salt added. Simply put. It was an amazing meal. Had the best intentions of going somewhere else for more food later on. Did not need it. If you are coming to walla walla. Or you live near and haven’t been. I suggest it. Came back again. 4/20/24 Amazing Walla Walla day trip. Could not ask for better weather. Good was delicious as usual same meal ordered. Salad. Steak and fries. Came back on Friday 12/6/24 same meal. Great service. Amazing

We are on a trip through Walla Walla and passed by... I haven't had french food in a while, so we decided to drop in for dinner. On a wednesday night, in off-season, the place was packed... after a very short wait we got 2 seats at the bar and had a wonderful dinner. If the dinner was 5-star, the dark chocolate mousse for dessert was 6-star. Great selection of wines which are reasonably priced, and really nice Port selection for after dinner (also reasonably priced).

Breakfast restaurant
Restaurant
Bacon & Eggs is a bustling urban eatery that serves up a locavore breakfast and lunch menu, along with coffee, cocktails, and baked goods. The restaurant offers a diverse range of dishes, from classic comfort food like buttermilk fried chicken with kale-apple-bacon slaw to more adventurous options such as roasted Alaskan halibut with razor clam and bacon chowder. Most of the produce is sourced from local farms, creating a true farm-to-table experience.
We really liked this place. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We were there on a Sunday morning and had about a 15-minute wait, but the food was worth it. We had the Texas Eggs and the corn bread that comes with it is delicious. We also had the Tofu scramble, Chilaquiles, and Blueberry pancakes. We would recommend them all. Even though it was busy the service was excellent.

12/22/2024: Great lively spot for breakfast! Sat at the bar area and ordered huevos rancheros and biscuit and gravy. Both were delicious!! Service friendly and attentive.

The atmosphere was okay, but the booths were tiny. I loved the decorations, but it was much too cramped. The presentation on their Monte criscoe was beautiful, but the taste was awful. The bread was too thick, the sauce was DISGUSTING, and you could not distinguish any flavor other than the sauce. The meat was okay, but not great. The only truly good thing was the jam. I will say the service was excellent, but their bathroom is horrendous. I am truly disappointed with our experience.

Awesome place with inside and outside seating. Super busy in the mornings. Stopped in just after noon time and got a table quickly. Great selection of Benedicts. Also, Mia is the best!

We'd never been to Walla Walla before, and boy were we super happy to have picked Bacon & Eggs! There was a bit of a wait getting in on a Sunday morning but plenty of fun shops around to explore while waiting. The whole staff were super nice, food was perfect (I've missed real maple syrup so much since moving from the east coast - guess what they had??) We took home a mug as a souvenir and had a great time!

The line outside is long. And for a good reason. Perfect place for breakfast and lunch at Walla Walla. The food was cooked to perfection ( I know what you are thinking- well it is only omelets and scrambled and some salads. Yes! And it was perfect) Hush browns to die for. Coffee one of the best we had in WA State. They have attention to details. Food arrived exactly as we ordered ( eggs running, separating all ingredients as we requested, no salt). We love professional people and places. One thing regarding tips. Guys, this is not an expansive place. Leave the waitresses 20%. They are working hard at this location. Our tiny recommendation.

Wonderful breakfast. Was able to get a seat right away Sat morning. Nice food options even for gf people. Our server was not a happy person. Asked her if we could get the table cleaned and was told it had been cleaned. Never stopped by to ask how the meal was. Probably just a bad morning for her.

My husband and I stopped in on a Sunday morning. It was quite busy so we were fine to wait a bit for a table. We ended up being sat at a tiny bar top looking out the window. The stools were metal and quite uncomfortable, we were squished in with people on either side of us, shoulder to shoulder. There was barely room for the waitress to put a glass of water on the counter. The food was ok. The $3.00 extra charge for a tiny tin of syrup was disappointing. We a had better experience at another breakfast spot nearby.
