    I’ve been to Malbec multiple times over the years, and not once has it ever faltered in both food quality or service. From their starters all the way to dessert, nothing disappoints.

    We celebrated our 24th Anniversary as a family. The quality and taste of their food is always top notch and consistent. The service is outstanding and the ambience is warm and comfortable. Malbec is one of our favorite restaurants!

    We had five courses, all delicious and ample for sharing with two. The menu was so varied, and interesting that we put it on our ‘ must return soon’ list. Sweet & fantastic staff. We loved our entire experience. Andrea Turner
