    Mallard is a hidden gem. Service is great. Multiple people provide coverage so someone is always attentive. The drinks are incredible. Some never thought of combinations turn out to be delicious. The food is perfection. Fried oysters- the best I’ve ever had. The ribs are fall off the bone. No need to get bar b que dirty. You never have to touch them with your hands. Only a fork is needed. The desserts are a sweet tooth marvel. Bravo Mallard. You hit all the levels for a 5 star rating. Remember to make reservations and you won’t be disappointed.

    The service was above and beyond - it was unusually not too busy for a Sat morning and our server didn't interrupt us to push us out. We appreciated that since that is not always possible at this busy restaurant.

    Food was flavorful without excessive spiciness. Everyone in our group agreed it was some of the best Indian food we have ever had. Service was top notch and prices were not excessive. We ordered appetizers, five entrees we all shared and a bottle of wine for 5 people and it was less than $200. Great value for the money!
