An eclectic menu of hearty, classic bistro dishes crafted with New York flair. Think: A hearty Wagyu French Dip, topped with mozzarella and a creamy horseradish au jus, served on a perfectly crunchy baguette; or the Lobster Frites, made with luxe Maine lobster; the Bolognese Blanc, with freshly made rigatoni in a luscious white wine sauce, topped with wagyu beef ragu and parmigiano reggiano; or the innovative Caesar Salad with Fried Cream Cheese Croutons, which takes a classic Caesar and modernizes it with the flavors of that New York staple – the everything bagel. The star here, however, is the over-the-top Angie Chop Martini, a thinly pounded, breaded pork chop redolent of butter, lemon and red wine vinegar, topped with hot peppers and parmigiano reggiano imported from Italy.

    I will get this place five stars. I came on a busy Friday night and even thought they were jammed back my waitress was attentive to my party. The food came in a fast, timely manner. I got a lemon drop martini and also the hummus with lamb. Will be returning soon.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Mallard. We tried/ shared a large variety of the menu- all were original, well presented and delicious. We loved the cold corn bisque offered at the beginning of our meal! In particular the foie gras appetizer and duck entre were excellent. The fried green tomatoes were fresh & beautiful. We tried all 3 desserts and loved them all.
