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.

Delicious holiday brunch. Fresh French bread, excellent coffee, scrambled eggs with mushrooms and fantastic Croque Madame. Afterwards, free champagne samples and a slice of their amazing Buche de Noel. A bargain for about $40 for two. Service was attentive and pleasant.

I dined here as a solo diner and usually you wouldn’t get the best service because the servers want larger parties, but this was not the case here. Zach made sure I was taken care of. This is a rarity as someone who travels a lot alone and has experienced the bad end of dining alone. I’ve had a few friends and family dine here when they visited and loved it so I’m glad I was able to get the same experience they had as a solo diner.

Food and service were excellent. The muscles were so fresh. Many choices on how to have them we chose the saffron and it was delicious. The short ribs were melt in your mouth tender. Waiter was attentive without being pushy.
