We were greated and brought to our table in a timely fashion. The staff all seemed attentive. Food was fine. I had the roast but may have been a bad choice in my part. Mozzarella salad was delicious. Would go back and try something different and menu seemed nice.

Walters describes itself as a café bar, and we were content to be seated in the busy area near the bar surrounded by happy diners on Valentine's night. We enjoyed a three course dinner at a reasonable price, then danced the night away to a pair of excellent musicians at no extra charge.
