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. 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.

Malbec restaurant offers an opportunity to experience authentic Argentinian cuisine and wines in a delightful small atmosphere. While the food is praised as amazing and fabulous, with dishes like paella and an extensive Argentinian wine selection receiving high marks, the service seems to be lacking in some areas. Some reviewers have noted issues with attentiveness, presentation, and overly salty dishes. However, despite these minor concerns, many customers express a desire to return and explore more of the menu. Overall, Malbec seems to be a place where the food shines, but there may be room for improvement in the service department.
