Reviews for 1862 David Walleys Restaurant & Saloon in Gardnerville, NV

Went there for drinks and apps. All are reasonably priced. Service is top notch. The appetizers are, um, different. They take a... traditional appetizer, like jalapeno poppers, and put their own spin on it. For example, the aforementioned poppers weresmothered in BBQ beef brisket, and the mozzarella sticks weren't sticks at all, but small balls about the size of a crabapple.This resulted in more breading than cheese, so not exactly what I was hoping for. The beer battered onion rings were very good,just a little too cold when they arrived. With that said, our party of four left not a single crumb, while thoroughly enjoyingthe drinks and atmosphere. All in all, we had a fabulous time and will definitely be paying another visit when in the areaagain. Don't want to forget to mention the amazing chef who went out of his way to make us feel at home and as if we were longtime friends of his. The hostesses were also very friendly and extremely accommodating. You can't imagine what a difference thatmakes in the overall experience and impression of David Walley's 1862. Read more

I have zero idea how this place gets off on having 4 stars. Its in the bottom 10 worst experiences I've ever had the misfortune... of encountering. This restaurant completely deserves 1 star. I'll never go back, and hopefully I wont have to. Frompretending they are too busy to seat us to try and create forced scarcity, to a bad waiter because they cant keep staff, becausethey probably dont pay them enough, to the worst food Ive ever eaten, to hot wine. Everything was awful. I cant even believeit. I paid, left, and dined somewhere else. Read more

Wonderful place, really enjoyed our 2 night stay, and used all the hot springs.

The food was good, had the Salmon with capers. The wait staff was nice and courteous. It did seem like it took a little longer... than needed for the food to come out. Prices were a little higher then I would have liked, but everything at David Walleys ispriced high. Read more

Been one of my families faves. Woke up to a beautiful view. Plenty to do in the Carson Valley, hiking, golf, doing nothing,... soaking in the hot springs tubs, .... Read more

This restaurant is a joke, mind you I work in the service industry and it?s the main restaurant in my town?I ordered 40 minutes... before they closed for takeout pasta with chicken that came with garlic bread and asked if I could have extra garlic bread, oneof the simplest things you could order. I went inside 15 minutes after ordering and waited for an hour. They were not busy oranything, I had to go up not once but twice to check on my order. Once I FINALY received my order, there was no garlic bread soI said that I had asked for extra garlic bread and didn?t get any and told them I asked for chicken in the pasta and didn?t seeany and the lady who came out with my order looked inside &she said she didn?t see any either so she went back in the kitchenand then came out with a knife and wanted me to go through my pasta to look for chicken. I told her I wasn?t going to do thatbecause at that point it was an hour and 20 mins waiting for PASTA and I thought that was ridiculous, as I said I work in theindustry, just come out with some chicken?.I get back to my room, the bread is plain bread, not garlic like the menu says it isand still no chicken and the pasta tastes extremely plain with ZERO flavor. At this point it?s over an hour since the restaurantwas supposed to close. Extremely dissatisfied in one of the easiest things you could order off a menu with zero sorries orcompensation. My room has a beautiful view but will NEVER return back to this restaurant, I?d rather drive 20 minutes into townto get food. ???????????????????????????????? Read more

Went here based on the reviews, pics and description of menu. While I wasn't entirely disappointed, I wasn't entirely satisfied... either. We had been outside for hours prior and wanted a hot meal. My cup of soup (steak) was warm, not hot, had a nicecoating of oil, which I could barely make out due to color of bowl and lighting. My seafood combo was quite literally deep friedfrozen seafood. The serving was enormous and could have fed 2 ppl comfortably. Couldn't/ didn't want to finish it. Triedcutting a fish and it literally broke apart while trying to cut it. Our server seemed preoccupied with helping with takeoutorders. Our service was relatively prompt, but waiting for the check took a while, as did the clearing of tables around us,even though those patrons had left much earlier Read more

Average food, average prices, the service was kind of slow. The waitress was super nice. We walked in around 6 PM and was told... that there were no tables available and had to come back at 7:15 PM. We didn?t know it at the time but you can also sit freelyand the saloon if there are any available seats. Reservations ahead of time would be a good idea. Read more
