    When we first when into Malanders.. I was stunned by the beauty of the restaurant and the politeness of the staff. We were quickly greeted and seated within seconds of coming in. Our waiter was absolutely amazing and always checking on us to make sure we were okay. This was my first time ever ordering beef wellington and I can say... it was phenomenal, cooked to a perfect medium. The flavor was on point and it was SO juicy (alot of complements to the chef) I would absolutely return and try it again.

    Once again, the food and service were amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious, well-prepared, and well presented. Huge thanks to the team for being so attentive to our seafood allergy. Our server, Victoria, was fantastic and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Plus, the complimentary champagne for our anniversary was such a sweet touch. Thank you so much!

    Not only is the food and wine excellent , the staff exudes hospitality in excellence! A very relaxed and pleasant environment. For those that would want something other than wine, they have a full bar and excellent beer options.

    Food is always good. Service was great. We got there early so wasn't too busy yet. Father's Day and all-you-can-eat shrimp it got busy quick, but the servers did a great job.
