Our first time here and such a great discovery. All three generations said they’d definitely return with friends. Fun, delicious cocktails. Loved the multiple size options for ordering wine. Every dish was a winner. And the service was impeccable. Best of all though was the fact we could comfortably hold a conversation while still enjoying the music and great atmosphere.

Our service was excellent. When we asked about the wine by the glass, he had the sommelier come to discuss the choices which was super helpful. Our dinners were excellent, both the appetizers and the mains. Their brodetto is one of the best dishes we’ve experienced in DC.

It was a beautiful amber ambiance as we entered Mallard. Beautifully done decor, warm reception, terrific service. And what a great menu - not lengthy but just right and every dish we ordered was great. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. What a neighborhood gem - we will return and enthusiastically recommend it.
