Gourmet market, wine bar & restaurant with pizza
























"This Wally’s is the only location of the vibey wine bar to exist outside of Southern California. More than 1,800 labels — and a whopping 8,000 bottles— lay waiting inside this Resorts World bar and restaurant. The wines are offered in a wide selection of prices and varietals and are expertly navigated by sommeliers John Peiser, Greg Gollin, and Jeff Austin. Get your bottle to go or stay and order a flatbread or charcuterie board to pair while you sip." - Jennifer Smith

"A celebrity-favorite wine bar, pizza shop and restaurant located at Resorts World now offers weekend brunch and weekday breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. The brunch and breakfast menus feature items such as truffle eggs, steak and eggs, a berry crepe, and a BLTA Benedict with bacon, avocado, tomato and poached eggs on brioche; pizettas with bufalina, truffle, prosciutto or smoked salmon; grilled octopus, a chopped chicken salad and striped bass. There are also caviar options, charcuterie and cheese plates, and a signature burger made with wagyu, Old Amsterdam Gouda and caramelized onions on brioche. Brunch cocktails include mimosas, Bloody Marys and a truffle Negroni." - Susan Stapleton

"Now open at Resorts World, I found Wally’s Wine & Spirits — the celebrity wine destination with locations in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills — staking its claim as a place for high-end steaks as well as wines by the bottle or glass. The restaurant is offering a 200-day dry-aged rib-eye from Fleishers in Brooklyn priced at $1,000, and 50- to 60-ounce steaks grilled by executive chef Eric l’Huillier over almond wood and Bichotan Japanese charcoal, seasoned with truffle salt and black pepper and served with a black truffle bordelaise sauce, potato pomme Anne, grilled broccolini, and fresh shaved black truffles; the restaurant says it only carries a limited supply of the pricey beef. I noted the space blends a restaurant, social wine bar, and specialty gourmet market with a mind-bending 8,000-plus labels (more than 100 wines by the glass) and that Christian Navarro, the president and principal, has helped A-list celebrities like Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, and Diane Keaton with wine purchases. Aside from the steak, the menu includes pizzettas, King salmon with golden chanterelles, truffle Bolognese with veal and truffle ragu bianco, and Wally’s classics such as truffle lentils with English peas, truffle butter, and shaved truffle; the $30 Wally burger with American wagyu, Old Amsterdam Gouda, heirloom tomatoes, caramelized onions and Wally’s sauce on a housemade brioche bun with pommes frites; a $95 steak frites featuring a 19-ounce American wagyu New York strip with glazed cipollini onion and béarnaise; and a $100 chicken with smashed fingerling potatoes, broccoli, truffle chicken jus, and shaved truffles. The wine bar also offers cheese and charcuterie plates as well as caviar ranging from $115 to $975." - Susan Stapleton
