Large space, very crowded and bustling, but quite loud. Servers were excellent, and knowledgeable. We shared the cold beef carpaccio, and i had salmon, and husband had sole. Dessert was chocolate mousse cake, it was decadent and rich. Very reasonably priced. We had a lovely Christmas dinner.

Side dishes were served cold. Rather than just bringing fresh sides, they took my entire plate and warmed it all - drying everything including the main dish so it was not edible. Very unfortunate experience.

Our family of six, all adults, dined here for our Christmas meal. The staff was welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and ensured we had everything we needed. The attention to detail was impressive, from the warm greeting at the door to the genuine smiles throughout the evening. Every dish we ordered was delicious. We started with the chorizos plate then five of us moved on to various steaks and one had spinach ravioli. We rounded out our meal with sides of sauteed spinach and mashed potatoes. It was all so good. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, Malbec is a great choice. This wasn't our first time here and won't be our last.

Christmas Eve and a table of 13 was a bit worrisome. But everything was amazing. Our waiter and the restaurant management were so on top of things and accommodating. And the food, every single plate and dessert was fabulous and tasty. Really good experience overall.
