Wally's Santa Monica

Great wine options at reasonable prices if you buy a bottle with dinner. Food was surprisingly good and equal to many fine dining establishments but a bit more casual

GREAT food and service. The lighting is slightly harsh (overhead and bright) and seat chairs don't have backs but other than that it's pretty perfect!

Cocktails were delicious. Cheese and charcuterie board was excellent. Server was knowledgeable of pairing wines with food. The vibe was casual with quiet sophistication. We had a very enjoyable evening.

The wine tasting experience was amazing! They had such a good snacks, food, wine, it was so good! Thank you

excellent wine tasting experience with ample food and great service, a good value as well.

We had been here before and had outstanding service and meal. Sadly, we did not have the same experience last night. The restaurant was quiet but yet we had to wait for 15 mins before being served a drink at the bar. We were then seated at a high top in the bar area for our meal. My husbands lamb was raw and had to be sent back and my burger was just okay for being a $30 item. I wouldn't hurry back here.

We had the most amazing time. It was a really enjoyable experience. Our server was phenomenal And so were all the staff. We are forever fans from now on. I cannot wait to return! Wally's forever.

I sat at the bar and loved the bartender! he was so patient with me and helped me figure out what wine I wanted and food. the vibe is so cute I love being surrounded by all the bottles it's so pretty.

The wine tasting consisted of tasting 6 wines. Some were better than others, but all were good. The person pouring the wine told you about each wine, as he poured, and he was very knowledgeable. The food was mainly a nice variety of cheeses, with a hot dish (pasta) as well. The servers were very nice, as were the people attending.

Great atmosphere. Great cocktails and wine selections. Knowledgeable wait staff and somelier. Lots of beautiful people.

Food and wait staff were superb as always. The wine “connoisseur” needs some lessons on manners and wine. Actually brought my alleged bottle of wine to the table already opened, already poured in a carafe, and upticked the price. He was rude and condescending to boot when I asked questions. Had I not been visiting w family for the first time in a while I may have made a bigger scene, but for a wine bar, at a minimum, the purchased bottle should be opened at the table.

Wonderful cocktails and wine. The best cheese and charcuterie out there! The Krystal OG cheese is to die for. My dirty Hendricks Martini with blue cheese picked really hit the spot.

Went for the dine la dinner, so it was great value. The service was really good, food was delicious . All is good except the noise level is unbearable

We were so impressed to sit at a marble, community table surrounded by millions of dollars worth of premium bottles of wine... they actually make up the walls of this classy establishment. Their wine sommeliers are incredibly knowledgeable and gracious. We will eat here again.

Always an amazing time. Staff is wonderful, they are friendly, welcoming and know their stuff!
