My preferred place for delicious mediterranean food. great ambiance & decor. the service here is friendly.
Overall it was OK but nothing exciting that would prompt me to come back. Atmosphere: When walking in you are hit with a strong fish smell, very reminiscent of Fisherman's Wharf. We sat in the back where the lighting was very unnatural and chairs more ottomans than chairs. It felt like an interior designer was left unchecked and comfort was sacrificed for ambiance. Food: The food wasn't anything memorable, certainly not for the price. The strongest flavor in my salmon and garlic mash was lemon. It was a lot of lemon and not much else. I can't say that I will remember anything about the food. Service: the service was good. Our waiter was quick and attentive.
Really enjoyed this place... went there during restaurant week. My burger was really good and so were the brussel sprouts. The atmosphere is nice and chill.
My experience was great! The service and atmosphere was superb. The food was really good.
We absolutely loved this spot!! Amazing food. So glad we went here.
Visited during restaurant week. Nice atmosphere. Great bar staff. No love in the food. The best thing was the calamari. My friend’s mussel appetizer came with 5 shells and a total of 3 mussels. The paella was over saturated with sauce and chicken. The fried Oreo with ice cream was nice but I can’t imagine paying $7 for 1 fried Oreo on a regular night. I would recommend this place for drinks only.
Went during restaurant week but feel like you can get a better deal with their regular menu.
Had a reservation Saturday evening at 7pm with my family. First time there and really was impressed. Never heard of Valanni, then after speaking to the manager Michael, who was very gracious and welcoming , told us they had been around for quite some time. You wouldn't know it, ranks up there with some of the newest and best ! Food was a nice variety of Spanish and Mediterranean tapas. Staff was knowledgeable and very friendly and the wine list was a really nice variety as well. Really nice atmosphere, much bigger than it looks on the outside. Weather was beautiful and they had the windows open which added to the ambiance . Highly recommend Valanni.
Have been a long time returning customer of Valanni and pleased to see it still doesn't disappoint ! Reminds you of a restuarant/lounge in West Hollywood. Food is innovative and great, drinks are on trend well executed and the staff is attractive an friendly !
Yum! Really good food. We tried a few different appetizers. Apps were small portions, but were all good. Carne paella was great and was enough for 4 with some left over. The tres leches cake is really more like a brownie with a bit of cream on it, but still it was tasty. Also, the Spruce Street Gimlet cocktail was good, though slightly sweeter than expected. Service was good and the atmosphere is slightly swanky without being pretentious. A good place to go for a date or just for getting together with friends.
