It would be difficult to match the service offered at Walter's from start (seating with or without a reservation) to food (wait staff who act as a team) to finish (a personal thanks from the owner on the way out). The food preparation, taste and quality are excellent although pricey for the serving size. Thursdays raw bar included in the... More

My wife and I went out for a Saturday date night. She wanted steak. Had been across the street from this place the week before for St. Patrick's Day, decided to try something different. High in the area's ratings, Urban Spoon said $15-25 entrees, OK. Reservation for 7:00, easy. Parking, not too far away on the street. Getting a table,... More

Walter's is by far, the best place for steaks in Delaware. I have worked in other steak restaurants in Delaware and none of them compare to Walter's. The prices are about the same as some of the other high end steak places, but a salad and a side are included. Not a la carte like most of the other places.... More

The food was delicious. The staff was welcoming and attentive. We were walk-ins on Valentine's Day weekend and barely had to wait. The only down comment would be the parking which is on the street and hard to find a spot. I guess that is expected in a city though.

We visited Walters with a group of eight. It had been years since I'd been. They always had a good reputation for steak but we were all disappointed. Not one steak came out as ordered and most were tough and burnt on the outsides. Sides and deserts were just ok. We went on a Friday night and most tables were... More

My first time here. We went with another couple to celebrate a birthday. The waiter was outstanding. He had been there for many years and knew the wine and food. His recommendations where spot on. I was also surprised that the place was almost empty on Friday night at 8:30. I hope that was an anomaly and not a sign... More

For years I have heard how great this place was. My husband and I went on October 31. There were two other tables in restaurant occupied at 7pm. We had the spicy shrimp appetizer. It was four very rubbery shrimp wrapped in bacon and slathered with barbeque sauce. It wasnt even warm. The bread was tasty, but the butter was... More

We went on a Thursday night (It was my husband's birthday dinner) and a seafood bar (steamed shrimp, raw clams, raw oysters, steamed muscles and clams casino) CAME with every entree. They have different specials for different nights so look at their website. We had the NY Strip steak (delicious & cooked perfectly), Short ribs (tender with a tasty brown... More
