| - We've paid several visits to Malabar, the first was amazing and the others that followed were just so-so.
We have always enjoyed Toscana, our favorite Conti restaurant so we expected our continued visits to hold up at Malabar. During our first stop, the bartender helped us choose a nice red wine, there were vegetarian items included in the specials, and the chef treated us to a few more off the menu. It was truly a great experience.
During our next visit, about a week later, that bartender didn't work there anymore,we had few meatless options, and the staff seemed very disorganized. They changed our waiter midway through our meal, the wine list had already changed, the experience was clearly not as pleasant as the first. We visited another time or two
and felt the same inconsistency with the wine and the staff.
We came back the last time with friends, only because it was prearranged, hoping for a better experience. The staff still seemed to be a little disorganized and the food not nearly as wonderful as our first visit, when the chef had time to treat us.
We may give Malabar another try, but it's already been a few months.
