Review Valley Inn Restaurant And Bar - Los Angeles

I was here for a charity event that was held outside under a tent. One of the waitresses, an elderly lady, was very unaccommodating, unfriendly to put it mildly, a sourpuss, and very strict with the attendees about ordering and sitting at a table. These attendees are all older folks in their 60"s, 70's and 80's, with some who can't stand up for 5 hours, and who all donated toys and money to help families have a good Christmas. We came also to hear a fantastic Beatles tribute band play. Many people had nowhere to sit. The event was wonderful except for this waitress. If a 20% tip wasn't automatically added to my bill, I would have left nothing!

I've been here several times, never had a disappointing meal. The salmon, fried chicken, and borscht are my favorite items on the menu so far. Bar area is small but they have some good whiskies, nice place to grab a bite and have a drink while watching a game.

If you're yearning for a nostalgic dining experience, look no further than Valley Inn in Sherman Oaks. This old-fashioned steak house exudes charm and history, making it a cherished spot for those seeking a classic meal with a side of nostalgia. Walking into Valley Inn feels like stepping back in time. The decor oozes old-school elegance, with dim lighting, wood-paneled walls, and vintage photographs adorning the walls. The cozy ambiance sets the stage for an intimate and relaxing meal, perfect for a romantic evening or catching up with old friends. The menu at Valley Inn is a testament to the timeless appeal of traditional steak houses. With a focus on premium cuts of meat, it caters to the carnivorous cravings of steak enthusiasts. From tender filet mignon to perfectly grilled ribeyes, the meat is cooked to your preferred temperature and seasoned to perfection. The chef's expertise is evident in every bite, creating a memorable dining experience. However, it's worth noting that, being an old-fashioned establishment, some might find the prices slightly higher compared to more modern steak houses. Yet, the quality of the food, service, and ambiance makes it a worthwhile investment for a special occasion or a trip down memory lane. Also wanted to add that the owners - Sofia and Boris are an absolute delight to chat with. Any issues I ever had were always resolved painlessly with them. Bill, the gentlemen at the bar pours heavy and had an amazing sense of humor. Very memorable. In conclusion, Valley Inn in Sherman Oaks is a delightful retreat into the past, offering an authentic and enjoyable dining experience. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, the combination of classic charm, mouthwatering steaks, and attentive service will leave you feeling satisfied and content. P.S. Dropped one star on the Atmosphere, to be fair and myself being from younger generation, I'm not quiet there yet, to fully appreciate that setting. But I've brought some of my older coworkers there and they loved the spot! 9.5/10

Wow what a fantastic meal. The liver and onions were the best I have ever had. Husband had the meal ceaser salad with chicken also wonderful great prices. Great attentive waitstaff. The Manhatten Clam Chowder was also great!

Excellent food and wonderful cocktails. We were there to celebrate two birthdays and totally enjoyed ourselves. Very old school kind of steakhouse atmosphere. The only minor issue was the high level of noise there, but it was packed and a Saturday night. It is a great place to celebrate any occasion.

Prices are outrageous, in comparison to the "Smoke House", which is Valley Inn's only real competition. Food and service is good, but.....better have lots of pretty green dollars with you.

Food always very good. My friend Had prime rib excellent and I had New York steak delicious

We had a toy drive well-done organized. The bande was superbe. Top services that was pleasant time. I was surprised winning the big gifts in the raffle.

Fantastic food, If you ever want a nice cozy place to eat? This is it

A classic and classy trip back to the 40-50s of dining. Warm leather booths with a comfortable atmosphere. Excellent steaks and sides. The staff was top notch and we all had a good time. The only thing missing was a little live music. The Martini was great also. We will be adding this pace to our favorites list.

Love the food and the service and the staff! Have been going to Valley Inn for many dinners with loved ones and friends and have always had a great experience! Love their holiday specials and dinners as well! Check them out! You will love it!

Wonderful service, great food cozy retro atmosphere

The food here is delicious, and high-quality. The shift should be commended filet mignon was beyond expectations very tasteful perfectly cooked and so is the calamari. Most excellent customer service bar none. Highly recommend it.

Beyond Expectations! This restaurant was a suggestion from the hotel nearby. Not wanting to drive we opted to try it. Boy, are we glad we did. First off the service was EXCEPTIONAL!!!!! Secondly the food was SUPERB! In short it was a great time for us and our guests. Anyone who goes must understand it's definitely an "old school" type restaurant. It's not flashy or trendy, The food is traditional but not dated or stodgy. Service was very prompt and attentive and courteous. The wine and bar service was perfect too. Probably the best thing is this is a local restaurant. We felt part of the community while dining here. When in the area we will most definitely make a point of stopping by for another great experience. THANK YOU!

Best I have ever tasted. While there is much to commend at the Valley Inn......absolutely nothing beats their Lobster Bisque. As a former easterner who has sampled lobster bisque in more places than I can remember, I can state unequivocally, theirs is the best. Lobster sweet and Lobster Creamy

I was staying at a hotel across the street for a business trip and looking for a local place for dinner. The ambiance was great and the staff was extremely friendly. Chrissy the bartender works to learn everyone's name. I came in the following night and not only did she remember my name, but she asked me how my work event went. I had the macadamia-coconut shrimp one night and sliders the next. The presentation, taste, and temperature was great. My only regret is that I didn't have one more night in town to try the steak. It was so nice to be away from home and feel right at home.

The Valley Inn...Old school charm!. Old school charm. A hang out for locals capturing days past. Good comfort food choices and service. Steaks and prime rib are excellent and the libations are smooth!
