    We had a wonderful time at the restaurant however our server made us feel rushed. He was not very knowledgeable on the menu and culinary terms. The manager on duty was amazing and we left with a positive experience. Thank you Wally’s!

    My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Wally’s last week. They made it super special with complimentary Prosecco on arrival and a candle on the dessert. All the staff was inviting and professional. I can’t recommend it enough!

    Great wine store, but disappointing dining experience. Very pricey limited selections of wine by the glass. Several menu items (pizza and pasta) were inexplicably/strangely spicy, like tobasco had been randomly added. Service from waitress was very inattentive, but the waitstaff assistants picked up some of the slack. May have just been there on an off night.
    Wally's Santa MonicaResponded on June 10, 2025
    Hello Sara, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Wally's Santa Monica. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our wine selection and service. However, we're truly sorry to hear about your disappointment with our wine offerings and the spiciness of certain menu items.

    Always a fun time. The Pizzas are great. The Rabbit was pretty good as well. A great selection of wines, though they are quite proud of their grape juice if you will.
    Wally's Santa MonicaResponded on June 10, 2025
    Thanks for the review, Stephen! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our pizzas and wines. It's great to know that our selection appealed to your taste.

    A really lovely experience with delicious food and drinks. The duck was tasty, but I do wish that you get to pour the sauce yourself instead of the runner doing it table side for you.
