At Mallard, Chef Johnson will apply classic and global techniques to the culinary traditions of the south while incorporating the best local and regional ingredients available. Undergirding it all will be a sense of hospitality rooted in Johnson’s memories of the family table.

Mallard’s menu will range from Chef Johnson’s take on classics like Shrimp and Grits with Smoked Pork, Piquillo Peppers, and Tabasco-Shellfish Nage and Wild-Caught Blue Catfish with Poached Oysters, Summer Corn, and Smoked Trout Roe to new creations like Seared Sea Scallops with Cracklin’ Cornbread, Charred Peaches and Dandelion Greens and Crisp Berkshire Pork Trotters with Ramp Chow Chow, Sunny-Side-Up Egg, and Edisto Island Grits.

What an excellent brunch! Nashville "Hot" (means fried, not spicy hot) Chicken was perfectly fried - crunchy on the outside, tender and moist and flavorful on the inside. The foie gras-duck jus along with the malted waffle and maple syrup added a mix of savory and sweet sauces to just melt in our mouths... ahhhhh. So so good. The Carolina Country Breakfast did not disappoint, although serving it in a very large bowl-like plate was a little off-putting - but certainly did not lower the ratings for taste and flavors. Beers, cocktails, martinis were perfectly brewed and crafted. OH! And the Autumn Greens salad was amazing - a mix of crunch, nuts, seeds, fruit, blue cheese, with endive which I love - and a flavorful light dressing. One of the best salads I've had in quite a while. Service was attentive, friendly. Nicely renovated dining area and bar. Overall we were so glad we tried Mallard and will be back!!!

Mallard has become a regular of mine. The food is quite good, much more imaginative and... inspired compared the previous restaurant in this space. Beer list is fantastic. I am hooked on this Hefeweizen with a hint of ginger that I've never found anywhere else. And reasonably priced ($9 for a sixteen ounce can). Fried Oysters are amazing, and I'm not a big seafood guy. Tried the steak tartare for the first time last night and was very impressed. That and a beer filled me up to the extent that I got dinner to go. My server was excellent, despite having several tables. I want to say her name was Charlotte but can't remember for sure. Highly recommend this place!!

Fantastic creative menu for both food and drinks. There was nothing that I ate that I didn’t love! I can’t even pick one thing that was my favorite. Can’t wait to eat here again!
