Wow! All the food here was so delicious. Nice presentation, flavors on point. Service was immaculate. Really nice La-di-da atmosphere. I think I was most impressed by the little cheese and wine market. And the music playlist, the music was fire. Perfect for the 40+ crowd. There is valet parking and on street parking, which might be difficult. read more

What a beautiful visit to Wally's. it was my first time at this spot and I definitely don't think it'll be my last. One of the best parts about being a working professional is the occasional dinner out with your colleagues. My boss was in town and wanted to take a few of us out and chose Wally's for the occasion. This place is definitely so LA, when we walked in the doors were held for us and we were quickly greeted and seated by the lovely hostess. After talking shop and perusing the menu, we opted for a bottle of bordeaux. Super delicious and served in super classy, giant and thin wine glasses. To start, we had hummus, the endive salad, and the baked brie. Everything was delicious! My favorite being the endive salad and baked brie. The salad was tossed in a delicious vinaigrette with walnuts and cheese. The baked brie was great served in toasty bread and shaved truffle on it. The truffle made the brie super flavorful. For my main, I opted for the Steak Frites. Cooked perfectly medium rare (more rare than medium - my favorite way to ask) with yummy french fries and all of the bearnaise + ketchup. Totally great! Great meal at Wally's! It was great catching up in a beautiful setting with wonderful food and awesome staff. Looking forward to visiting again! read more

Only had the house rosé and a charcuterie board nicely curated by our server here. The vibe is chill and kind of quiet. The food was good. House rosé was good. Service was nice. We were greeted at entry. I'd return! read more

This is a formidable institution dedicated to wine and spirits, but oh, the wines... I remember the original store in Westwood, which always stocked excellent bottles from around the world. When they opened this place I was in heaven. We've been a few times now, and what's great is you can buy wines and drinks by the glass, plus order some food, including impressive charcuterie. They also host events, tastings, etc. Or maybe you just crave some top of the line caviar? We recently went on New Year's Eve and I had a very good Negroni, while my spouse had an excellent red-- and we had a delicious charcuterie board. Bring your wallet, cuz you'll want to spend some dough on their wonderful selections. Come... it's a wine lovers paradise. read more

I'll be honest, it wasn't the best experience. The hosts made us wait with no acknowledgement when we first walked in - not a great first impression. We had a reservation (for my husband's birthday) and they sat us at a community table while open 4 tops sat next to us. The food came out before our drinks. Overall, poor service and mediocre food was not worth the hefty price tag. read more

I absolutely love the food and atmosphere here! The restaurant is gorgeous, they also have beautiful gifts to take home. Service is wonderful, and the food is absolutely delicious. High quality food, perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Ideal for date night or a business lunch. Highly recommended! read more

Very atmospheric and beautiful place, no questions about food and drinks, they are amazing, thank you! But... We reserved a table for 4, two of us came on time, two were late, but the hostess refused to show us to the table and told us to wait outside until all the guests arrived. We were very surprised, but she said that they have such a rule. Strange, but we have been here before and there was no such rule, always one of the guests is late. Just keep this in mind, and next time we will choose a place where there are no such rules read more

This place is really a nice option for a quick business meeting/hangout if a lunch or dinner meeting isn't an option because of time constraints. There's a great selection of wines , a very nice atmosphere that's paired with both a knowledgeable and friendly staff. Worth a checkout if you in the area. read more

Let's call Wally's what it is... a sultry date or pickup spot for the wealthy on the Westside. If you love wine and cheese and price is no object, then you have found your Magnum Opus. But... if a fine palette is also your thing, then you will enjoy yourself, but the divinity of flavors leave a little something to want for. It's not the selection that's the issue, there are some wonderful items on the menu. It's the flavor details that leave a little something desired, even though the presentation is quite good. Highlights this evening were the: -Beef Tar Tar - very well done, served with toast points and under cooked potato crisps. The Tar Tar could use a bit more flavor. -The Burrata was a wonderful dish, complete with candied almonds in a fig jam. Very delicious flavor. The fig crackers were a bit stale. -Truffle fries for the table were a hit, but we had to send them back for being undercooked - maybe the fry guy was off this evening. -The Pizzas: we had the truffle and the hot salami. The truffles were a bit weak in flavor and there wasn't enough salt. We ordered park to assist, but it was also lacking salt. I'm not one for over-salted, but if you don't have enough salt to carry the flavors, well they just don't go anywhere. The spicy salami was good - a bit over spiced and had a lack of roundness of flavor. Ospi definitely does this better. -Service was a 10 - the hostess, Carly, was a gem. Our server was intelligent and timely and the bus boys did a wonderful job clearing plates, etc. Management was also great. The place was very clean, well lit, professional, etc. My summary is it's a very fun atmosphere for the wine and cheese enthusiast and for anyone looking to have an upbeat date or feast with friends. I think the kitchen needs to keep trying things as they are prepared to ensure quality of flavors at this price point. All in all recommended. read more

We spent the day in Santa Monica. While doing some shopping we came across Wally's which we had heard so much about this place so we went inside for a couple drinks. I was impressed on the large selection of Domestic and Foreign Wines they carry. Im sure anyone that comes here will find a Wine to enjoy. Since we had plans to eat elsewhere we ordered some appetizers served fresh. A glass of wine I could not pronounce, sorry. Overall service was good atmosphere was open inviting and well decorated. Service was good. read more

Great service, amazing food and dig the wine/deli items you can buy onsite. Will definitely come back!

Wally's was a happy accident! When told we would have to wait for a couple of hours to be seated in a nearby joint, we dared to be adventurous and ended up here. Now we have a new favorite place. Sarah, our server, was very nice, very patient and explained everything well to us newbies. Jonah, the manager, was very friendly and accommodating. And the food! Sumptuous, flavorful and reasonably priced. We definitely would be back to try the other items on the menu. Ambiance was classy but the staff's reception was warm, friendly and unpretentious. read more

Service was a disappointment. Someone who was supposedly a sommelier was rude, unprofessional, and could not answer or refused to answer simple questions about the aroma and flavor profiles of wines on the extensive wine list. read more

I know this place is pretentious but the black lady at the front put me to the way back side of table even there are available seat in front. Because of I'm Asian..? Hate this. read more

Sorry... we did not enjoy much.. too expensive for a lobster pasta: usd 45.00!!!! We could not see the lobster or taste it, all I saw was the pasta .... Told the manager: where is the lobster.... He said: it is there ... just keep looking...u just can't see.... OMG!!! I said: can u bring some please? He said: no sorry... We ordered pizza pepperoni, again .... Too salty and was not tasteful...it had on it: caramelized onions!!!! Yewwww it was not pleasant...then we ordered : hamburger was weird ... meat tasted raw and the ketchup had a weird taste, hard to swallow... The fried potatoes were saggy and overdone ... and the salad yew.... we spend $200.00 in 4 dishes that were not impressive... we did not have any alcohol....also the waiter asked if they $45.00 lobster pasta was okay .... I said: nooo needs lobster... he laugh and said oh come on ... if u look there is plenty... I never tasted the lobster...the seats are very uncomfortable .. we don't intend to return... sorry .... USD 200.00 plus tips ... service was not good and we regret going there ... read more

Absolutely one of the best restaurants in the city, incredible staff, atmosphere, and maybe the best steak frites I've ever had. Great place for a night out if you need to impress or if you want to treat yourself. read more

I can't believe more people don't come here. Came here for brunch. First time I ever dined at a Wally's. They have one in BH too. Got the french toast, steak/eggs, and lemonade. Was soooo good. Great service and they have outdoor seating. I would def come back here again and try other brunch dishes or meals. My friend also found one of her fave wines here. The brunch menu is short, but fab. They do have heaters outside. Spent over $100 as the steak/eggs was about $45 and the french toast was about $27, plus 2 lemonades at $5 each, and coffee. See my food pix and receipt! read more

The cutest place for date night or outing with the girls! We went during the week and it was still pretty busy, but we were seated immediately. The staff was very attentive. The food & drinks were perfect. We had an amazing time. We'll definitely be going back soon! read more

Service is average. Obviously an amazing wine selection. (You may need to miss a car payment though.) I've yet to find a dish I would come back for. Food is meh. Typical BH restaurant that can survive on location. read more

Great atmosphere and food! Had a short wait but their quickly sat our table of 12. We had drinks at the bar first, the espresso martini was perfect. We did sharing food for the table. Would recommend the buratta and the truffle pizza. read more

Great wine selection and good spot for a date, but good luck hearing them. Really loud in there. We got two bottles of the Flowers wine since we loved the first one so much. Then we got a charcuterie board for the table. Our waiter was beyond amazing and kept us updated. Can't say the same for the hostess. I wouldn't say rude but not nice or welcoming which is pretty much what a hostess should be. read more

The person handling the distilled alcoholic beverages was great and provided us with interesting Japanese whiskeys that had to either come through Germany or was the only bottle in the entire west coast. Rosy and soft notes of utter bliss. The person handling the wine, however, was not as great and seemed not as knowledgeable. He didn't recognize the Australian red we ordered and tried to get us to get a "French" wine instead. He then commented that the Australian red we ordered "wasn't bad." Not sure what to make of that or his response to our comment that there was a typographical error on the menu that had the wine name wrong. Based on our experience, I am hesitant to refer to him as a sommelier. Only ordered the tuffle pizza. The base of the pizza was good but overall wasn't so great. Perhaps a cheese plate would have been a better choice. read more

Literally the best food. Must try the baked Brie, avocado gem, truffle pizza, truffle French fries, and whole chicken.

Good vibes, good service, good food, always popping when I go there. A mature crowd and well trained staff and very welcoming.

Amazing wine selection & delightful food such as caviar on bellinis and vibrant salads. I enjoyed the outdoor seating, perfect for the lovely Cali weather and people watching! read more

The adage that you get what you pay for really applies with Wally's. It's pricey but worth it. The inside is gorgeous and fun. The presentation is fantastic. Come to place your loved ones in a wonderful environment. The food is prepared well and the drinks are outstanding. One of the best restaurants in the area by far. read more

I have been going to Wally's for five years. The new door man Keith needs to be fired. He is incredibly rude to everyone who is entering. Even the hostess who is a good friend ask him to stop with hie behavior and attitude. Keith needs proper training. He is ruining the reputation and elegance Wally's once held. read more
