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.
