Really loved the old school vibe of this restaurant. Reminds me of Musso and Franks or Smoke House. Looking forward to going back.

One of the best restaurants in Los Angeles County. The food and drinks are fantastic. The atmosphere and attention to detail are classic, high-class, charming, and friendly. Valley Inn is in the same category as Musso and Frank in Hollywood in every respect, except that Valley Inn is cozy, more intimate, and more comfortable. You haven't lived until you spend time at the bar and follow it with a spectacular meal here.

As usual everything was right on. Ambiance always great and reminiscent of old glamour Hollywood. It’s the only place I ever order a Bloody Mary as the bartender makes them perfectly. I had the chicken Milanese and my friend had the prime rib. Both incredible and the portions are huge. Highly recommended

We have been there 3 times in the last month, even though we live an hour away. The food is always delicious. The ambience is wonderful. We enjoy this quiet restaurant very much.

We went to the special Greek feast on a Sunday night, It was fantastic. Christina the chef is amazing, always offering a delectable experience. The owners, Sophia and Boris, are the ultimate hosts and make you feel like family. The ambiance and beautiful lighting are so relaxing. Food selections are always reliably delicious and satisfying, and reasonably priced. The serving and wait staff are attentive and friendly. My favorite cocktail is their cucumber mint martini. They have a lot of regular patrons who are friendly as they have been dining here for years, and are cordial to other diners, often interacting as they leave. It is my favorite Epicurean guilty pleasure. The Valley Inn is a true gem in the San Fernando Valley in operation since 1947. David Eastburn, a devoted patron!

This old school red leather booth restaurant never disappoints. Perfect martinis and other cocktails accent the high-quality steaks, fish and other offerings. 6pm on a Saturday and the place is packed with 55+ clientele. The younger crowd who enjoy good food and excellent service should give the place a try.

Overall, a good experience. $15 per glass of wine. Seems a little expensive $13 for a little sherbet was expensive. We found nothing special about the garlic bread.

Phenomenal customer service. I wanted to surprise my daughter and buy her dinner. I am in Tucson; my daughter traveled to California. Sophia made it possible. This was over and above. My daughter enjoyed her birthday meal; Sophia and staff made this an experience to remember. Sophia stayed in contact with me through the experience and, though I could not be there, made me feel as though I was. It is no surprise that you have been around for so long. Difficult today to find a place that still believes in an old school dining experience. Thank you for what you do and continued success in the future.
