Wally’s Desert Turtle in Rancho Mirage, California, a Desert icon for over thirty-seven years, was established in 1978 by Mr. Wally Botello, the founder of the famed fine-dining Velvet Turtle chain. Now owned and operated by his son Michael, and his wife Nicole, the extensive menu serves contemporary Californian cuisine, prepared by classically trained Executive Chef Pascal Lallemand.
The expert fine linen heavy silver service, serves to enhance the extensive wine list and the quality of the menu. In the main dining room, with interiors by famed designers Steve Chase and Randy Patton, the warm and elegant ambiance of the beveled mirrored ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, ancient Peruvian artifacts, and hand-painted murals combine for a sublime experience. The live nightly musical entertainment in the Sahara Lounge makes for a sparkling and special evening out in the Desert. Wally’s Desert Turtle has always attracted the Desert elite night after night, and is the restaurant of choice for many Hollywood celebrities, international dignitaries, and captains of industry. Wally’s has been enjoyed by such celebrities as Bob and Dolores Hope, Frank Sinatra, President Gerald R. and Mrs. Betty Ford, Benjamin Netanyahu, Wayne Gretzky, Carol Channing, Tom Hanks, Steven Seagal, and Barron Hilton.
