Malcolm's

First time here! Absolutely amazing meal. We ordered the price fix meals and the portions were perfect! The variety of flavors were incredible. The Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection and exploding with favor. The Espresso Martini had a hint of different flavors that made it delicious! The duck and sweet potatoes were beyond tasty! The staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend checking it out! Can’t wait to go back 💃🏻

I had a lovely solo dinner on Sunday at Malcom’s while on a business trip. I sat at the bar, and the service was great. As a first timer there, they were good at explaining the menu and answered questions well. They are a busy place, so patience and good manners pays off with smiles from the staff and great food delivered. I will be back in the future. Happy 4yr anniversary!

It was decent. Good food. Nothing profound. Moderate to small portions. The dessert was a complete let down. They need to be more creative. The drink was very lack luster too. Food was cooked nicely, well plated, unique butter and fritters. Unique use of squash. Staff was very attentive. Very accommodating with substitutes.

We were recommended this restaurant by a student at Union College, and are SO happy we went. From the first encounter with our server (the owner's mother!!), to the drinks, the appetizers, and the meal, it was all so very delicious and enjoyable. We HIGHLY recommend Malcolm's if you want a fresh and extremely tasty dining experience. P.S. Do NOT forget the Sticky Toffee Pudding!!!

The good: The waiter was friendly and professional, genuinely seemed to care about the dining experience. This is the reason for two stars instead of one. The bad: It took over one hour to receive the salads let alone the entrees. One of our drink orders was missed completely. The restaurant claimed to be understaffed, so maybe on other days the experience is better. If the restaurant was having issues serious enough to impact operations so bad we would have appreciated being warned ahead of time... we would have come back another day. The ugly: The cuts of steak were very poor in quality, one cut may have been the worst I have ever seen served. The other items did not live up to other farm to table restaurants we have visited. Being short staffed shouldn't impact the quality of the ingredients. The prices were extremely high for what we received in general. We wanted to like this restaurant, we wanted to have a relaxing, stress free dinner. That did not happen.

I think our expectations were too high. The last time we went, it was a magical night at Malcolm's. The service was impeccable and every last sip of drink and bite of food was perfect. This time- we had a very friendly waiter, but he seemed to forget about us for a while. Also, our drinks, although delicious, were mixed up and spilled all over our legs and feet- he offered another napkin but we just let it slide. There was a fruit fly imbedded in the ice in my husbands drink- we brought it to our servers attention and that was it. Our food was good, don't get me wrong, but it was missing the same 'mmmm' factor that we remembered. There was a lack of seasoning on both dishes that could have elevated them both just enough to wow us. My dish was all one texture and his dish was hard to cut. I'm appreciative of what a restaurant like this is trying to achieve and I'm sure our waiters skills will improve over time. It's just hard, as the consumer, to spend $200 on one meal- you want every moment, every sip, and every bite to be just right. This doesn't deter us from going to Malcolm's again, but we might try other restaurants before it in the future.

Made reservations for a special Valentine's day with my wife. Heard a lot of good things but seems not worth the hype. They seemed very ill prepared. When we finally got all 5 courses they came out in the wrong order. It was well over 2 plus hours and we had to ask for dessert to go. Food was good but they kept forgetting what course we were on and the med steak showed up well done, and luke warm. Saving grace was the duck tagliatelle. The black cod was tasty but full of bones. For the price and expected quality it fell well short. Also we were not the only ones stuck waiting. We could have gone to Glen Sanders Mansion and been better off easily.

Very much enjoyed my experience at Malcom's this evening. All the customers around seemed happy too. Service is great, server and bar tender are very friendly and do a great job creating a great dining experience for those dining in. The food is absolutely amazing. I especially love the squash fritters. Love the music too. Would highly recommend! A must do in Schenectady
