    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!

    Great service. Super friendly people all the way around. Perfect place for a business lunch however, if you’re talking about things that are super sensitive in nature may not be too ideal due to the tables being close in proximity to each other.
