    Some mistakes were made and I’m happy to report that management did their best to correct. I did leave hungry though. I will certainly return, this off night was the first after being a patron for many years.

    Delicious, as the food here always is. Fantastic server who whisked us through as we were on a short lunch. It never disappoints.

    Haven’t been to Malbec in a while. The food remains EXCELLENT! Terrific Frito Misto, bread, a nice NY Steak, fries could have been crispier, the “schnitzel style” beef with sauce and cheese was only okay, dessert looked fab but I didn’t have any. Nice wines! We booked for 6:30, on a Tuesday… the place was EMPTY! Only two tables the whole time we were there. And this is sad because the food is SO GOOD, excellent service, very pretty room too… I’m sure they’re busier later and on weekends - I sure hope so. We’ll go again for sure, either later or on a Fri/Sat.
