| - Wally's is SO good! I had always seen this restaurant on my way to my boyfriend's house, and when I found out it was one of the Common Grounds Culinary restaurants, I definitely wanted to check it out. Kinda funny, when we actually headed over the the restaurant, I realized what I had been seeing was a random, different place called Wally's... good thing we decided against just meeting each other there, cause I would have shown up at the wrong place lol.
Anyway, we decided to get cocktails, because they sounded really good. He got the Wally's Old Fashioned, and I got the Island Fizz - if I'm not drinking beer, I usually go for rum or sparkling wine, so this was perfect for me. It was delicious! I did a ~summer of rum~ this year (lol), so I've tried a lot of different rum drinks recently, and this was one that stuck out to me.
Then, we decided to split the Salt & Pepper Crispy Calamari and Fish & Chips for dinner. The calamari was great, but what we really liked was the San Marzano red sauce it came with. It was amazing - normally I'm not a fan of the sauces restaurants serve with calamari, but I loved it. It was kind of like a marinara sauce with a hint of cheese, but with a twist that made it perfect for calamari.
The Fish & Chips were great as well! They were well-seasoned and the crust was crispy, and not too thick or greasy. I loved the fries, too. And the Collins' Slaw it came with was above average, too - it tasted like it had kale or something in it. I don't normally like kale, but this tasted great! Again though, it was the sauce that made it special. It was tartar sauce with more of a ranch-like consistency. It was tangy and yummy, and there was something different about it that made it really good.
For dessert, we had the Ghirardelli Brownie, which comes with caramel sauce and sea salt ice cream. This was delicious too; not as above average as the food, but still great. They give you one giant brownie though, and for $7, I think you get your money's worth. :)
We are 100% going to come back soon! :)
