    I arrived in time for Oyster Happy Hour, where oysters are $1 each from 4-6pm. A few of the staff are French and I enjoyed practicing my language skills while ordering. There is a quaint outdoor area for those less inclined to the quiet at that hour. The oysters were fresh, cold and delicious. I also had the escargot, which was prepared to perfection; the butter, garlic and delecate pastry top was sublime. My entree was seared scallops with vegetables. The scallops were amazing and the vegetables in a kind of pesto sauce blended perfectly. Go and enjoy!

    Our server Shy was friendly and efficient. I really liked her! The meal was well paced and the main entrees were great. There were six of us and everyone liked their meals. I got the Apple crisp for dessert and it was just ok. The seven dollar drink special was a Bourbon Lemonade and it was fantastic. Great bar and great vibe. Malden is lucky to have this gem of a restaurant

    We really enjoyed the family style sharing of many different items. The dishes were all very flavorful and delicious. The ingredient combinations were unique, and they worked really well together. We had our three kids with us and they enjoyed trying everything too. Definitely would love to return for another wonderful meal. The service was very attentive and we thought the ambiance was chic and welcoming.
