   Juan did an excellent job of service. Food was delicious. Menu is changing tomorrow so did not have all the choices listed on the menu. But we were able to find delicious entrees.

   Our server, Matt, was amazing. On top of it, super friendly, knowledgeable, the whole nine. Great value for the quality. Surprisingly small dining area and it gets incredibly loud. Read somewhere that someone was “uncomfortable” with how close tables get and I could see how that might be an issue for some. It felt very much like cruise ship seating, and our neighbors definitely kept an interest in our conversation for some reason 😂. Parking is a problem if you have mobility issues or just don’t want to walk. The restaurant doesn’t seem to “fit” the area of worn out downtown Shakopee so I think a lot of people miss it. I know we did.

   Was celebrating 2 Birthdays (ages 78 and 71). We all loved the food! Service was great and the place looked clean and nicely decorated. Just happened to find it while searching for a restaurant for my birthday. It was definitely worth the drive from Mound and Waconia. Will definitely go again. Can’t wait to go back 😀

   Our server was very attentive and the food was great! We are sad that you are getting rid of the pecan crusted walleye with cajun cream and sweet potato casserole. it is our favorite!

   First time at Mallards. Was not disappointed. Food excellent. Friendly and prompt service. We had Tuscan Pappardelle and the Lobster roll. The Tuscan had savory sausage with fresh pasta and had an incredible cream sauce. Best pasta dish I’ve had in a while. My wife reports the Lobster Roll was very good as well. Kudos to you all

   Our dining at Mallards Shakopee was so bad, it was comical by the end. Parking was a challenge. There is no lot, just street parking in a densely populated condo area. This restaurant is LOUD. Could use some sound dampening. Our waitress took our order after delivering drinks, etc. She came back 5 min later to tell us she accidentally threw our order away and she re-took the order. Food took quite a while. When it came out, it was two orders, a few min later two more, a few min later one more. The last dish was never delivered and our waitress did not return. After we all finished our meals, we were able to flag someone down and they started working on the last dish. Most of us were still hungry. The prices are reasonable here because they don't give you much food. The shrimp and grits was the only standout dish. The rest were meh. I had the Thai Peanut Chicken Chop. Beware! There are no greens in this salad as picture. It was a large bowl of cabbage and carrot coleslaw and sauce with a few chunks of chicken. I could not finish the cabbage, it was so much. I was hungry. Once the sixth dish finally arrived, they offered a compensatory dessert. I assumed they would bring enough for the table of six to share. Nope! This too was a small portion. About 5 bites. Although it was indeed tasty. To top off the night, I washed my hands in the women's room and the towel dispenser did not work, so I returned to the table with wet hands, which at this point, had us in hysterics.

   Except for the acoustics the vibe is great! The food was delicious and service was amazing. We met friends for dinner and it took us a while to stop chatting long enough to look at the menu. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. We had such a great time and will definitely come back.

    Open concept floorplan in a modern vibe. First time customers, great menu and food was wonderful with manageable portion sizes and prices. Had Korean Meatballs, Mediterranean Shrimp Pasta, Surf and Turf. Missed happy hour, but may try for that next time.
