Outstanding food and drink. The wait staff is exceptionally attentive, just an overall great dinning experience.
I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The Mallard has a unique and classy vibe that I really enjoyed. The staff, including the greeter, were incredibly friendly. Our waiter was outstanding, and it was clear that the staff worked together seamlessly to serve and clear our dishes. The food was fresh and delicious, contributing to a great atmosphere filled with wonderful people.
The fried duck is amazing! It was my favorite. The cheese cake was very delicious as well.. I feel like they need more of a selection on sweet dessert wines but all and all it was great. Staff was friendly
This place is not what it used to be, and it saddens me. My best friend had her reception here, and the food and drinks were fantastic back then. I recently went with my mom just for some drinks and an appetizer, and it was quite disappointing. The duck tenders I ordered were good, though they could have used a bit more sauce. However, the drink I chose, called "The Relaxer," was anything but relaxing; it tasted more like juice. I feel let down having spent $10 on a drink that barely had any alcohol in it. To make matters worse, I was served by three different servers, which made things confusing when I needed assistance. Moving forward, I think I’ll stick to Tortilla Soup.
