I visited Wallaby's with a friend in May 2016. We each ordered a cocktail, and then shared an order of calamari. For dinner, I had the stacked enchiladas verde, and she had a patty melt with a vegetarian patty.

The calamari was served in spears, and was delicious. The cocktails were also of good quality, though both the drinks and dish were overpriced for what they were.

My friend's patty melt came with crinkle cut fries, which, as she said, are the greatest evil of the world. So we ordered a side of sweet potato fries to share in their stead. The patty melt itself was okay, but the sweet potato fries were delicious.

My enchiladas, though, weren't very good. The chicken seemed old, as it was tough and also under-seasoned. The "verde" on top was goopy and unappetizing. I'd highly recommend visitors do not order this dish.

We spent seventy dollars, which was far more than we should have, and far more than the food was worth. But we both became sick later that night, and decided that it must have been the calamari that did it, since it was the only thing we really shared besides the sweet potato fries.

However, the managerial staff was very apologetic and accommodating when I called to tell them we had gotten sick, and said they would notify the kitchen of our experience, as well as leave us gift cards in recompense.

Considering the food, we'll probably stick to drinks when we go back. But we will be going back - the strong sense of customer service as well as the comfortable rooftop patio endeared us somewhat.
