Fantastic restaurant in every way- Exceptional service, lovely ambience, went above and beyond for birthday dinner with complementary glasses of champagne, desserts and banana bread. Duck wings and duck dinner is outstanding!! Everything prepared beautifully and quality of ingredients was superb. Not overly priced and truly a gourmet experience. I never ever write reviews but this was just a must after that great of a restaurant. 5 stars!

The experience was OUTSTANDING! The reception was friendly and efficient, and I had requested a specific area in the restaurant which they met. The appetizers and main courses were phenomenal, our guest from Chicago remarked that the duck main course was the best he’s ever tasted! We (4of us) each ordered different main courses, and we all left our plates clean!!!

What an excellent brunch! Nashville "Hot" (means fried, not spicy hot) Chicken was perfectly fried - crunchy on the outside, tender and moist and flavorful on the inside. The foie gras-duck jus along with the malted waffle and maple syrup added a mix of savory and sweet sauces to just melt in our mouths... ahhhhh. So so good. The Carolina Country Breakfast did not disappoint, although serving it in a very large bowl-like plate was a little off-putting - but certainly did not lower the ratings for taste and flavors. Beers, cocktails, martinis were perfectly brewed and crafted. OH! And the Autumn Greens salad was amazing - a mix of crunch, nuts, seeds, fruit, blue cheese, with endive which I love - and a flavorful light dressing. One of the best salads I've had in quite a while. Service was attentive, friendly. Nicely renovated dining area and bar. Overall we were so glad we tried Mallard and will be back!!!
