Contribute Feedback What Francesco Beier likes about Malbec - Santa Monica:
Amazing food but the restaurant was SUPER BUSY for Valentines Day. We had reservations at 8 but had to wait 20 min. We had 3 in our party but they didn’t realize that and tried to sit us at a table for 2. So we had to wait another 30 minutes. Waiter was great but it took another 30 minutes to get our main dishes after the appetizers. Long story short: definitely eat here, just not on Valentines Day. View all feedback.
What Twila Welch doesn't like about Malbec - Santa Monica:
We made a reservation for 8 pm and was seated at 9:10pm. The staff was very unprepared for the crowd they received on Valentine’s Day and didn’t care. The service was poor. Waited 12 minutes for a ginger ale. There was something in my drink. Everyone food came out at least 5 minute apart. I mean should I continue .... View all feedback.
Fabulous evening. My friends and I will definitely be returning to try more of the amazing choices on the menu. Drinks were wonderful too. Loved the Hand of God cocktail.
Service was attentive. Steaks were not prepared properly but they made efforts to correct things. Overall pleasant evening.
Service started off slow but since I was with a good old friend I did not mind. The food was really good and the waitress recommendations were spot on. We brought out own wine and I think it was decanted poorly as the bartender dumped it upside down into the decanter. Not the way to decant 12 year old Cabernet worth $120 a bottle. Fortunately it was light on sediment and all is well that ended well! I shall return for another meal and instructions on decanting in the future!
Great meal. Sweet breads were on point and amazing. Lamb and steak were cooked perfectly. Wonderful wine list too.
Malbec is a beautiful find stumbled upon Dine LAWeek menu which featured burrata prosciutto app and a lovely thick steak with mushroom and demiglaze sauce that was delicious. The ambience is moody and upscale, the service excellent. I will be back, Dine LA or not!!
