    It was a beautiful amber ambiance as we entered Mallard. Beautifully done decor, warm reception, terrific service. And what a great menu - not lengthy but just right and every dish we ordered was great. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. What a neighborhood gem - we will return and enthusiastically recommend it.

    I am gluten free for medical reasons. There were several items I could enjoy on the menu and the fried entrees were prepared in dedicated fryers. That said, the food was delicious! Service was extremely attentive and the manager stopped over twice to make sure my meal was enjoyable.

    I will definitely be going back again. The food was delicious. We ordered the lobster and crab scampi, crab cakes, lamb chops, mac ‘n cheese, kale caesar salad, and the corn bread (waiter recommendation). Everything… EVERYTHING… was delicious. Portion sizes were reasonable. The salad and the mac and cheese are shareable. Our waiter was on his A game and we didn’t want for anything. He was on too of it and knew the menu very well. The drinks were excellent. Can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this first time experience.

    Kitchen Savages is an amazing spot to eat, have a drink, and meet great people in the community. Darrell was an amazing bartender and provided 5 Star service. The food was definitely all that it is said to be. I will be back whether just for a drink or to enjoy Brunch or dinner. You have to try it.
