text: We have paid several visits to Malabar the first was amazing and the others that followed were just sosonnWe have always enjoyed Toscana our favorite Conti restaurant so we expected our continued visits to hold up at Malabar During our first stop the bartender helped us choose a nice red wine there were vegetarian items included in the specials and the chef treated us to a few more off the menu It was truly a great experiencennDuring our next visit about a week later that bartender did not work there anymorewe had few meatless options and the staff seemed very disorganized They changed our waiter midway through our meal the wine list had already changed the experience was clearly not as pleasant as the first We visited another time or twonand felt the same inconsistency with the wine and the staffnnWe came back the last time with friends only because it was prearranged hoping for a better experience The staff still seemed to be a little disorganized and the food not nearly as wonderful as our first visit when the chef had time to treat usnnWe may give Malabar another try but it is already been a few months
