    We were a party of 8, and everyone enjoyed their appetizer and entree! The Crème Brûlée cake is my absolute favorite!

    Dinner and atmosphere on the patio was lovely. The heat lamp help us toasty…almost too warm. The service staff were so attentive that I felt like the table was needed for new guests to be seated. Would definitely return for the food!

    Everything was great until I ordered a kids pasta with butter to go, it was made and I received the check charging me $18 dollars for it! That is actually absurd. I can't believe they think that's a reasonable price for a small kids pasta with butter.

    Everything was perfect. From out of town and ate her a year ago. Back in the area and knew I would good back. They didn’t disappoint, even better than I remembered. Food, service, cleanliness were all fantastic. I had a chicken dish, wife had seafood. Both were amazing. I rarely write reviews, these guys earned this one.

    Outside was a bit loud this time because there was a big party (20 pp) in the tent, but still enjoyable. Last time we went it was the opposite and the inside was louder so I think it depends on the group. Either way we always love the food there and the waitstaff are always upbeat and personable. We’ve been coming to Visalia’s for 20 years, ever since we moved to the area and it’s always been great
