Amazing meal and service in the private dining room -- but the whole place was lively and everyone seemed to be enjoying the evening.
We went to this restaurant bar on Tuesday around 5 pm. We opened a tab and ordered two drinks from the bar and nice bar tender served our drinks on the first table facing the bar. We were stating there having a chat with the next person and it was all going good until this manager showed up with an offensive attitude asking us to order food or else he would remove us. There were so many other empty tables/seat we told him we are fine and if tables are occupied or if they have reservation we can stand up. 5 minutes later he came back again more offensive and we had the same conversation. Except the gentleman next to us ordered an appetizer platter for us. 5 minutes late the other manager came up. His name was Walter and he said we either need to order food or else they will remove us and we said we already have food and we are ok and the same if they have reservation or if other tables are occupied then we don’t mind leaving the table. There were two other people without food sitting at tables to which the managers had no objection. It was an obvious evasive discriminatory attitude they had towards us. All of a sudden the big manager grabbed our drinks and took them away and he brought us our credit card back and they removed us from the table/restaurant. Walter is a terrible minority offender and should be suspended from his predatory behavior towards other races and minority civilians. Do not go to this place and avoid it at all cost. This was a terrifying and horrible situation. Walter needs to pay the price, lawsuit is being prepared.
Truly a fabulous establishment. Sophisticated, knowledgeable staff, delicious fare, and a mind-blowing list of wine & spirits. Wally’s never disappoints whether I’m in LA or Vegas.
Thx Shorty for making my order possible today You rock
we had sandwiches and a soup for lunch .The bread was soft, and the salat was a few leaves near the bread. Not much inside the bread. The soup was good. Nice place to sit!
Excellent wine collection, wonderful cocktails and good veggie food options. Brussel sprouts recommend. Wines are over priced, choose wisely. Very good vibe, my must go place in every LA trip.
First time here & it’s an amazing wine bar with excellent ambience. From someone who lives in downtown, the vibe is definitely there. Completely caught off guard and Frank Thomas is security so it’s legit. I stayed at the bar and Omar the bartender is a legend! I had their pepperoni pizza and it was excellent. A diet breaker of a pizza and the fires were excellently cooked. The vibe is definitely there, great people, excellent environment, and I can’t wait to do a full on dinner here in the future. ***update*** I recently ordered their truffle fries, truffle pizza, a custom charcuterie board & an octopus entree. The truffle fries were cooked perfectly & seasoned just right with the right amount of truffle pieces. The truffle pizza was a solid dinner item, the crust was on point and the flavors were just right. The charcuterie board was a good appetizer option & we choose two meats and one cheese. Solid starter for the night. The octopus was cooked perfectly and probably the most tender piece of octupus I’ve ever tasted. The sauce was alright, but overall I thought it was a solid menu item & still recommend it.
