   Terrible service from start to finish. We reserved a standard table, but were told none were available. So, we agreed to a high top, even though there were several empty standard tables nearby. Waitress took a very long time to show up, simple drinks took 30 minutes to arrive, apps arrived first, but with no plates. Dinner took another hour to arrive, had to ask a few times to get water refills. Just poor all around, won’t be going back.

   I think mallards may be going through new restaurant growing pains. The food was very tasty and there were 6 of us so we ordered a wide variety of items including steak, fish and vegetarian entrees. Cajun fries are yummy too. Drinks were so so. Need to step up cocktail making. What was not great was the service. The hostess was completely rude and unwelcoming. The waitress was sweet but nervous and not familiar with menu items. We will go back and try it again but hoping service will improve.

   Great choice for lunch at Bayshore Mall. Plenty of seating, and all staff were friendly and accommodating. Plenty of variety on the menu. Food was very good to excellent. Our server was outstanding. Wish I had caught his name! Some in our group hadn't seen each other in years, and naturally we lingered, talking for over an hour after the meal was concluded. No one pressured us to leave. That's always a bonus!

   Group of 7 sat at high top in the bar. Our server, Nick, provided great service and made recommendations ( all good). Ordered appetizers and dinners ranged from bread bowl soup, fish tacos, salmon entree. All delicious. Has been open only 4 weeks but well run establishment since they have a few Mallards restaurants in MN. Definitely worth trying if you are looking for a new restaurant!

   We are a family of 6 and received two adult menus and two kids menus. When I asked for another I was told they could only give out a certain amount per party. We were not give crayons with the two kids menus, when I asked for crayons, I was told they did not have any. Being that this is a new restaurant at Bayshore in a location that has had other restaurants that have closed multiple times, I would highly suggest paying attention to all of the small things that could make or break someone returning. I watched a family with 4 small kids where the mom was pregnant and she too asked for crayons, just to be told they didn’t have any. It isn’t easy going out to eat with little kids for larger families. At any rate- in terms of the food, we ordered two Caesar salads that we did not finish because they were overdressed and over salted. We had steak fettuccine, the steak was good but the fettuccine and sauce was underwhelming. We also ordered the sure and turf (being that we went on Christmas Eve, there was a limited amount of options to chose from) the portions were very small for a plate that was nearly $30 but, I did enjoy the meal. We also ordered the fritters, crab cakes and two kids meals, those tasted as expected. I’ve been to mallards in other states, I’m rooting for this place but, these small details matter and I would hope the food is a bit more tasty.

   Another great experience. I ordered the Barramundi and it was delicious. Serving for me was enough for two meals. My family ordered the Jambalaya, Fish Tacos and the lobster roll. I heard all positives. Service was excellent & very engaging. Going to go back soon!

   What a disappointment. We waited 15 minutes for our drinks. My entrée arrived first, but my wife had to wait another 15 minutes before hers came. It was happy hour and beers were advertised at half off, but we weren’t given the discount even after contesting the bill. At that point, we just wanted to get out of there. Our water glasses were never refilled. My wife had to wait another 15 minutes for her second drink. And despite numerous trips to the table, our waitress never cleared our dishes after we were done with dinner and left empty-handed. Staff appeared to be unprepared and untrained. It was not a pleasant experience.

    Food is really good but portions seem too small for the price esp in this location where portions were sizable in previous establishments. This is a hungry crowd area and not dainty eaters. Good service! Second time here:)
