    Outstanding in every way from the moment you enter. There was clearly a lot of thought behind the restaurant. The room is lovely, tables set with linen. The room feels serene and luxurious. The food is superb, modern French with an Australian accent. Every dish was outstanding. Service is relaxed and friendly. I highly recommend a dinner at Malin. I look forward to a return visit.

    We had the Valentine’s Day set menu and the food was amazing, great quality. Staff were really nice. Only negative is that they tried to squish too many people into the restaurant and service was slightly slower than normal.
