Malabar ended up being one of the better meals I had on my trip to Charlotte.
+ Service. Everyone was so friendly and helpful (menu suggestions, making sure the drinks were filled, plates were taken away, etc.)
+ The Salad. I had the chicken salad and it was spot on. Fresh greens, perfectly cooked chicken and some tangy goat cheese.
+ The outdoor space was small, but it was shaded and comfortable even with it being in the mid 80's.
