Amazing meal from start to finish. Our waiter, Diego, made the entire night even more pleasurable. We had the empanadas, chorizo, skirt steak, ribeye, pork chops, and a few different desserts. Everything was amazing. Gorgeous romantic setting in a nice area in the city. I will be coming back for su...

Wonderful meal. We tried many dishes and enjoyed them all. My husband had the lobster ceviche-awesome! I do not usually care for ceviche but it was flavorful and delish. He also enjoyed the skirt steak, which was seared to perfection and tender. I had the Malbec chicken which was tender and the Malb...

The food is good, but I didn't appreciate the service. Sent back an appetizer and main dish because both were wrong. Know how frustrating it is for your whole group to be served while you're waiting on your meal to eat WITH your dinner party? #fail

Cozy atmosphere, a little tight spaces. But the taste of the food very well. For the moment of the dessert to be grilled Argentina you can not miss the sweet or crepes of milk, you find it as a pancake. Very delicious everything.

Visiting from argentina, walk in and immediately I am transported by a custom drink called "Tango". Then a delicious "Empanada de Carne" and the "Chimichurri". Food is beyond amazing all together, and the service is impecable. You are sure to have an enchanted evening. And if you show up on the r...

Tried this little spot out for restaurant week. Very delicious food, nice atmosphere, great staff. Rabas (calamari) is some of the best, soup was a nice smokey flavorful of lentil and sausage, and the steak is cooked to perfection.

Have been there multiple times now. The food is excellent! Personally enjoy the empanadas and parillada the most, they are delicious! Aside from the food, the service is one of a kind. The employees are all very welcoming. It's a pleasure to spend quality time at Malbec!

Ribeye was great, I don't think I would get it with the blue cheese again because it overpowered the perfectly cooked steak. My better half liked the Branzino. Great ambiance and killer red wine list with prices between $37 and opulence. Will definitely be back.

Located in a quaint Philadelphia neighborhood this place does not live up to the refined food standard it strives for. The food is decent, but nothing impressive. Empanadas are solid, but overpriced. Meat and fish are edible, but nowhere near the quality the same money will get you in NYC. Mashed po...

Ended here on accident, but I enjoyed it. The staff were super friendly and attentive, even when it got busy. They have a great drink selection and interesting appetisers. Wish the menu had a bit more variety and something more unique. It felt a bit expensive for what it was as well.

This place has a cozy and welcoming feel to it. It has a happy ambiance! This is good for meeting with friends or for a date night. The staff are so friendly and helpful. And yet, the food here is the real star. For appetizers we tried the empanadas, the calamari, the lentil and chorizo soup. The em...

After visiting Argentina, I was excited we were getting a similar-style restaurant. One of my absolute favs in Philly. I was there for opening week, and continue to go whenever I'm downtown. If out of town friends are with me, I always insist on Malbec. It is always a home run. See you guys again to...

I'd give it 5 stars if the service was better. We were told our waiter was experienced, but he wasn't able to recommend anything to us. The beef empanadas were delicious. I'm so happy I got the skirt steak as an addition to my canelones. The steak made the dish. My date had the fettuccine and though...

Cozy place...great food, lots of shareable items: lovely place for a date.

I had steak and mashed potatoes and it was excellent. The mashed potatoes tasted homemade, which I appreciate. The flan and dulce de leche were also delicious.

For me, the thing that really set this restaurant apart fro...

Somewhat disappointing, eventhough the appetizer started off with a great flovor. I ordered the seafood pasta special. The waitress asked u do wanted red or white. I specifically asked for the red. I received it with white in which it pretty much just tasted of butter.

My fiance ordered the $49 s...

We loved this place. Is expensive but it is worth it, for the food. The alcoholic drinks are a bit pricey. My boyfriend and I came in to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. I had the Chilean sea bass and mashed potatoes. Delicious. My boyfriend order the steak, small but it was delish. He had a sa...
