    I love Wally’s and even more recently my love has grown even more. Their hostesses are beyond thoughtful and even remember where I like to sit in the restaurant, definitely some next level service! The waitstaff as well is courteous, quick and friendly! Food and drinks are top notch! In particular the steak tartare, burger and octopus and Hamachi crudo are some favorites! Love this place and has the best social fun vibes of anywhere on the westside of LA!

    Dreadful! They took our booking for 1pm - we arrived and were told we had 5 minutes to order and had to leave by 2pm. They had a private party booking but didn’t tell us, happily took our 1pm booking and kicked us out. Never again!!!

    We’re very sorry for your experience Colin. That’s not the impression we want to leave, and we appreciate your feedback. We’ll address this with our team to ensure better communication in the future.

    Don’t sit at the kitchen bar. We were forgotten. When you’re forgotten the food doesn’t taste as good. Poor service was not the servers fault, rather just understaffed for such a busy night.

    Wally’s is EPIC. Dining in a world class wine store adds incredible theater to your experience. The food, bread, cheese, and menu mix is inspired. A must stop when in LA. The truffle fries and exceptional. Try Wally’s HERO.

    I went for the champagne & caviar tasting and had an amazing experience. When I arrived I was greeted warmly and given a little explanation on what to expect. Once I arrived to the tasting area the sommeliers were helpful. I will definitely be back.
