Very charming spot into Luca Lake. The shrimp appetizer was fantastic. We loved the sauce. The steak and fruits were also amazing.

This is a great place but parking is annoying. The service is really great and the food is top notch. We had the Sole, Lamb, and Ravioli. All were plenty of food and delicious and came out pretty quickly. They do charge for still water, just so you are not surprised. Their wine list is pretty amazing with many wines to choose from. They were out of the Argentinian beer but would like to try that at some point. I would return here again.

We live in the neighborhood and patronize Malbec on a regular basis due to its consistently excellent food and table service. The hostess was charming and checked on us throughout the course of the evening. Servers were friendly and accommodating. The ambience and decor are appropriate for more casual or formal dining.

My friend and I had a wonderful dinner at Bodega Malbec. We came for dine LA and it didn’t disappoint. The food was delicious. We both had the flat steak with fries. So yummy. I had the empanada for my appetizer and my friend had the scallops which she thoroughly enjoyed. The desserts were delicious too. Our server was amazing as well as the rest of the staff. We always had water filled, questions asked, played taken at the right times I will definitely be back.
