Besides the menu two specials were offered today. One was a tuna salad sandwich and the other was parmesan crusted trout with spinach and remoulade sauce. Today’s soup was steak chili soup.

It’s a rich beefy soup with a generous amount of diced steak in it. It also contains beans, cheese, and is sprinkled with raw onions.

Below is the salmon and spring salad.

It might not be the most interesting thing on the menu but it seems light and healthy. Sometimes you just want a light and healthy salad. The Salmon here was prepared well done but wasn’t dry. The skin and complete bloodline were removed and the salmon has nice grill marks. The salad is a basic mixed green salad with some added goat cheese. The green goddess dressing is very thin today but tasty and can pass as a basic vinaigrette.

The S’Mac with andouille sausage and bell peppers might be more interesting.

The pasta is made in house and this skillet is very cheesy. It’s accented with andouille sausage, bell peppers, and toasty bread crumbs.

If you do take out they package your food extra carefully.

On the left is their amazing coconut cream pie (My husband hates every coconut cream pie EXCEPT this one…it really is delicious!) Norwegian salmon with caper sauce and spinach, veal & spicy pork meatloaf with horseradish mashed potatoes and asparagus, and to the right are the fresh baked pretzels with asiago cheese sauce.

That was a little taste of Wally’s American Gastropub.
