    We celebrated my wife’s birthday here last night and from the get go felt like we were taken care of. The hosts seemed sincere and cheerful wishing her a happy birthday, and that set the tone for the night feeling special. I’ve worked in service, and I know it’s not always easy to be festive on someone else’s behalf when tons of birthdays are celebrated every day, and the kindness of the staff stood out. Sandra took wonderful care of us, comped a dessert for the birthday and made sure we had everything we needed while giving us our time and space to enjoy the meal. We will be back!

    Cafe Malta is a gem of a neighborhood restaurant. The red snapper special they served last night was stunningly delicious. I also get the muscles most times I dine there. That broth and the tomatoes. Chef's kiss!!

    What a delicious gem hidden in a South Austin strip mall! Food was absolutely delicious! Prices were more than fair, especially for drinks, happy hour pricing, although we weren’t there for happy hour, was noted as EVEN better! We had a bit of trouble with English language barrier with our server, but got everything we wanted and done correctly, and there were a few pestering flies throughout the meal but overall a truly well done restaurant that is completely deserving of your patronage. We will be back!
