The drinks are always top-notch, whether you're in the mood for a classic cocktail or something unique. As for the food, you can never go wrong with their signature Wally's Burger--it's perfectly juicy and packed with flavor. If you're in the mood for something heartier, their steak is always cooked to perfection. The vibe is unmatched, and it's the kind of place you keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

We had a blast here for a bachelor party, great staff! Food was awesome, thanks guys!

Wally's in Santa Monica is an upscale spot blending a wine shop, gourmet market, and an elegant dining experience. The ambiance is stylish and welcoming, with an extensive wine selection and spirits that pair perfectly with their charcuterie boards. Knowledgeable and attentive staff. You can pick up a present at their gift shop. Street parking can be challenging, paring structures within walking distance.

Wally's in Santa Monica is much laid back vibe than the BH location. We come here often and they are consistent with providing great service and quality food. The truffle brie, the octopus, the pizza with caviar (forget about it!) best ever and we always get the black hawk filet medium-rare, chefs kiss! Love this place!

Quite possibly the best charcuterie I've had all year. Love coming to Wally's for appetizers but I know many come for a full on meal. The Iberico chorizo was amazing and flavorful. I went conservative with solid cow cheeses and they were tasty. The Cesar salad was good for sharing. Many people were DINING but we had reservations elsewhere. You definitely should have wine as they have a massive selection, but I went standard martini (excellent) since dinner was coming next. I love to just wander here and explore the walls of wine and other fine whiskeys. Service is solid and it's a festive atmosphere to enjoy with friends. A bit pricey but hey...YOLO. Highly recommend a reservation here and you still might wait. One day I'll splurge on dinner but a great way to warm up.

Not going to lie... I did not have high expectations for this place. After looking at the menu and prices earlier in the day before arriving.. the menu felt unnecessarily expensive and somewhat basic for what was being offered but I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy everything we ordered. Cocktails are expensive, even for LA, at $25 a drink but they are creative and so good. But let's move onto the food. We ordered a pick three cheese board, the kampachj crudo (on special), pan con tomate w/ spanish jamon (also on special), cacio e pepe and their peking duck, all to share. Both the specials we got were fantastic. The Spanish jamon is an experience and melt in your mouth delicious and I'm absolutely obsessed with the pan con tomate they paired the jamon with. The kampachi crudo was also excellent & so fresh. Beautiful presentation. But what I actually loved most was the charcuterie board... they do these so well! I wish I got a picture. Great cheese and meat options and lots of extras on the board like nuts, figs, jams & honey. The cacio e pep was great but not mind blowing. Still good though & a good version of this dish. We also ordered the peking duck (great to share) but agreed this was more like duck with asian flavors instead of authentic peking duck. But hey, don't expect the Peking duck at a wine bar in Santa Monica to be authentic. We did thoroughly enjoy this though. Service is top notch. Only grief here is it felt like they kept trying to take my plate away before I finished my food. Prices are expensive but the quality is there. It's def a fun place to go & share a bunch of things. Overall, I thought this place would be mediocre but it really exceeded my expectations across the board and all my friends agreed. I actually am really looking forward to going back for their charcuterie boards and specials as those were the star of the show, in my opinion. Great spot for a girls night out, date or just a special occasion.

WOW... just wow! ... Had a last-minute crisis and needed a private dining area. My call was taken, my urgency was noted and not 5 minutes later I was contacted. Fortunately, a private room was available, I was sent the menu options and prices, replied, got my contract and all was set! We arrived a tab bit early, I was greeted very warmly, and taken to the room so I could set some things up... -Service was exemplary -Food was abundant and delicious! Warm dishes warm, cold dishes, cold, meats fresh and moist, full of flavor! -Wine selection, of course, was HUGE -Our Vegetarian was very impressed -Servers were kind, discrete, and available for anything we needed with no attitude. -100% professional and classy Was it pricey, yes, but 1000% worth it! I highly suggest this space without hesitation for a board meeting, or any other classy private event you might have the need to host! P.S. Can't believe how overwhelmed I was that I didn't take a single photo!

The service food and ambiance here are top notch. They looked long and hard for the wine the homie wanted and tracked it down. They brought out a delicious duck and fantastic truffle fries. The ambiance is chic.

I gave this place a 4 because although is was really good, I feel like it is waaaaaay overpriced. The charcuterie board was $44 I have had boards like this and better for half that price. We wanted to get a bottle of wine to share, but they charge a $50 fee to open a bottle of wine because it is a retail shop. That's pretty ridiculous. The glasses are about $23-$30 and up. Don't get me wrong, the wine was good, the cheese was great, but the prices were just insane. We almost got the burger but it was $36 and it isn't some big ol' burger. The service was great. Chrissy was our bartender and she is fabulous. The inside is nice. You feel like you're inside a wine library. It is lovely. But, we probably won't be back until we circle back around the monopoly board, pass go and find another $200.
