    First time at Wallys and went to the champagne & caviar tasting. It was overly booked, long lines for the champagne and food stations, no room to put your drink & plate down. We ended up leaving early to go to the bar and purchased our own drinks so we could sit down. It was so packed they ran out of the last champagnes on the tasting menu before we had a chance to try.

    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.
