I've been to mallards a few times now and always is amazing!…read more Our usual go to is the shrimp boil for two. This shrimp boil is some of the best in Minnesota that I've had! We've brought countless friends here to try it and it's a heafty feat! You get around 40 to 50 pieces of shrimp, around 10 things of potatoes, six things of corn, and sausage too... it's humongous. You really get your moneys worth! If I'm being honest I haven't tried anything else here but I can assume it's equally amazing! I'm really looking forward to coming back here in the summer and enjoying this on their outdoor patio. But so far really love mallards and will always recommend it as it go to spot for anything seafood related! At our most recent stop our waiter was kind gave us lots of recommendations and was quick to refill our drinks or ask if we needed anything throughout our entire experience. This goes for each time we've been here, the service has always been wonderful. I find it this location really unique and it sits on upscale while also being able to be casual. Thank you Mallards for a wonderful time!

This is the 3rd Mallards location i've been to over the last year & generally seafood isn't my…read morething, which is why i've never had interest in going. This location is blocks away from my job as well as close to home. I recently looked over the menu and found that they offered quite a few non seafood options that sounded good enough for me. The menu at this location is a bit different than the others. They have some daily specials, HH and even some seasonal dishes. I went with the Tennessee Hot Chicken sandwich and my mom got the Crispy Lemon Chicken. The sandwich was good, wasn't as spicy as I hoped it would be but still good. I upgraded chips to cajun fries and those were good. The Crispy Lemon chicken was okay to me, my mom enjoyed it but didn't like the mashed potatoes it came with. She said they were too lumpy. We also shared a crab cake - still too fishy for me lol, but my mom liked it. I got a raspberry lemon drop martini and it was a bit watered down tasting but I'd definitely go back and try some other options. Our server was really nice and attentive. Made the experience overall great. Generally a nice space/atmosphere.

I've been to the Bloomington location and that is WAY better than this one…read more.. There is plenty of parking and it is close to off the highway, so decent location. Walking inside the first thing I noticed was the lack of decor and warmth in this place. The pictures are hanging up spaced unevenly. The boards above the booths are not screwed into the wall. It honestly looks and feels tacky. There is a lack of decor and the lighting is too harsh. It feels like someone is moving out. Our server and the other employees, are the only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars. They were absolutely lovely and helped one another out. Our water glasses were filled multiple times and our server was very sweet. The food: we started with a beer and mojito. The beer was good. The Mojito was too strong and too sweet. It was really strange... Then we had the lobster bisque. It was very peppery and lacked flavor. There was only one piece of lobster and it had a strange after taste to it. The jerk chicken nachos were awesome is flavor but sooo greasy. See the pictures. I got the hot chicken and waffles. The texture of the chicken was great!! And the waffles were tasty! But these chicken tenders are very spicy and I could only get through half the meal. I would love if you could pick a non spicy version!! My boyfriend got a lobster roll and said it was good not great and the fries were pretty standard. We will not be back to this location. If you want to try this place, I would recommend the Bloomington location!

I ate at this Mallards for my second time yesterday while visiting the fish store. The first time…read morewas better, having had the lobster bisque and both lobster rolls, which were all decent. This time, we went with their gluten friendly options: the jambalaya, veggie fries and blackened fish tacos. Both were OK. The jambalaya was not good; the situation with the vegetables especially was not it. They were cut julienned rather than diced and they were overcooked and mushy. The flavor of the overall dish didn't have your classic jambalaya taste so it was all a bit off, and the meat didn't have much flavor to them individually. The tacos were what you would expect when ordering, good adding some hot sauce. The side of veggie fries were good, I really appreciated that option for a side. Service was alright both times. First visit was maybe a 4 stars and second visit was a strong 2 stars, so my review is averaging to a 3.

Highly recommend this spot and we will definitely come back!

I will be thinking of how good that dish is for the rest of my life; the coconut milk and lime combined with the texture of fresh seafood really hit the spot! The Thai basil wings and Massaman curry were very yummy also. I enjoyed my meal so thoroughly that I forgot to take many pictures. The presentation on my cocktail (a tonic with vodka and buddha hand fruit) was very pretty. Service was thoughtful and quick. The restaurant itself was beautiful and open and airy -- I almost felt like I wasn't in Minneapolis anymore. We went on a Tuesday, and only drawback I'd say is that the noise level can be a little bit loud due to the acoustics and how the room is one giant space. Otherwise, very happy with the restaurant and would go again.

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time! And boy, it was worth the wait!! Definitely…read morea new top favorite in the twin cities for me!! There is free street parking surrounding this place! There is also valet if you want a more elevated experience. The decor in this place is so warm and welcoming. It feels like you have been transported out of Minneapolis and somewhere in California! Our server and the hostess were both friendly and did a wonderful job! When we arrived we were given a nonalcoholic shot, which was very tasty! This place is pretty strict one sending in your whole order at once, so appetizer and entree go in at the same time. They can stagger how they bring out the dishes though! The food was incredible! We started with the basil wings! Those are a MUST! The wing is so juicy and has great flavor! As entrees, we had the New York strip laab. This is a chilled steak dish. Our steak was more "luke warm" but the flavor was explosive! The steak was also done to a perfect medium the whole way through! The salad was bright and paired so well! This was our favorite dish! The green curry octopus was tender and the green curry tasted so fresh! The peas in this dish felt overpowering and we did not care for them. The scallop crudo was light, melt in your mouth! The coconut milk and citrus paired so well in this dish! Unique! My only complaint was that it was not as pretty as it was on the webpage. For dessert we got some cocktails! Their version of an espresso martini was pretty good but I have had better. The gold coffee bean was a nice touch! The show stopper was the orange blossom pistachio cake! Oh my gosh!!! Each bite just got better!! I will be dreaming of this dessert!! So delicious!! This place is worth the hype and I will definitely be back!!

Calamari had a nice crispy coating and crab cakes came with a white sauce everyone loved. I chose the teriyaki salmon as my entree. It came with sweet potato mash and sweet peas. Loved the potatoes but the peas in their pods were a bit too stringy to eat. Also wish my meal was a few degrees hotter but it was still tasty. There were several other entrees chosen at our table. The fish and chips were good but we wish we would have not gotten the iojo potato. The halibut was excellent and the surf and turf got very high ratings as well. Filet was cooked to perfection. As it was my daughter's birthday, she got a free brownie/ice cream dessert which was exceptional. The menu has many options I'd like to check out. Will be back soon.
