Excellent evening. My husband and I were very happy with every aspect of our dining experience at Cafe Malta. The service was top notch, courteous and efficient. We ordered the muscles, and they tasted fresh and flavorful. As were our salads and main course entrées of excellent quality. We found the price point fair and we definitely look forward a return visit.

This is probably my favorite restaurant for its cuisine, cocktails and lounge energy. We tried every dish and most were great! Specialty drinks are pricy but very tasty.

Dan Dan noodles were also filling but not spectacular. Overall price point was very good for the quality of food and atmosphere. I’m
