    I brought a team of coworkers from out of town to Malabar. It was also my first time. The drinks and service were stellar! We really enjoyed the food as well.

    I had a reservation for 10 and the table was so small we could barely move. Additionally, the table was located under an open stairway where customers foot track was right above our food. I requested another table but was told we couldn't be accommodated. The food was good but I will not return due to the poor accommodations.

    Great Food, Great Service! First time there and we’ll definitely go back and we recommend Malabar to everyone. We went on the Amazon Fulfillment Center tour and wanted to eat beforehand with our friends. I picked Malabar not knowing anything about it. Our friends were so pleased with our pick. Everyone loved their food and we all had something different. There isn’t anything but positive about this restaurant!!

    Unexpected Fabulous Food! Recently been to overpriced restaurants leaving me with unmet expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by Malabar serving appropriate portions that tasted amazing. The service was perfect. Very attentive and sincere.

    We had a good experience and they even gave us a free desert (it was anniversary of day we got engaged). The waitress was on top of things and the manager stopped by to say hello. We didn't know they serve Brunch Only, and before going, I had looked at the menu and decided what I wanted to order (but it wasn't available) but the waitress made suggestions and it all worked out.

    Our only complaint is at that dogs were allowed into the restaurant, the hostess said that it was a service dog, but who carries their service dog in a pretty blanket. I know the service dog laws and there are only two types of animals allowed in a place where food is.
