“Valley Inn and Martini Bar - New Year's Eve Celebration I had the pleasure of celebrating New Year's Eve at Valley Inn and Martini Bar, and it was a delightful experience overall. The food was outstanding, with each dish crafted to perfection. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made the evening even more enjoyable. The ambiance was perfect for the occasion, creating a festive and welcoming atmosphere. While I gave the value a good rating instead of excellent due to the limited menu selections and higher prices for the holiday, the quality of the food and service made it worthwhile. The noise level was moderate, which is understandable given the festive occasion. One area that could use improvement is the parking situation. The tent still erected in the street since COVID blocks numerous parking spaces, making it difficult for patrons with mobility issues. I addressed this to the staff and was puzzled to learn they actually want to make this permanent! No one uses this outdoor area, and it's filled with a disarray of items making it look unsightly for such a historical restaurant. Despite this, I highly recommend Valley Inn and Martini Bar for a special night out. The food, service, and ambiance are top-notch, and it's a great place to celebrate any occasion.“

“Had steak and lobster with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was delicious. Mel was our server and did a great job. It was my birthday and my grandson told the server. Next thing I know and Mel brought a dish with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup and strawberries with a candle in it. Great restaurant! Really enjoyed our time there!“

“I've experienced happy hour, dinner, and the sit-down bar at this place. The food is priced as you would expect for a location on Ventura Blvd; however, the taste and quality here surpass that of any other spot on the block. Granted, it is a tight and smaller location, but being situated on the hottest block of Ventura Blvd makes up for it. If it's your first time visiting, I would recommend going for happy hour—you'll find that the selection of food items is quite wide and tastes great. For a price perspective during dinner time: for two people, including two appetizers, one pizza, and two drinks each, the total comes to around $100.“

“First time here. I love the french toast 😋 and coffee ☕️“
