About The Malt House

The Malt House is a cozy restaurant located centrally in downtown NYC, making it a convenient stop for those exploring the area. The ambiance is casual and lively, with a solid selection of beers and a simple, easy-to-understand menu, which makes it great for a quick bite or casual night out. The restaurant offers an impressive brunch menu, including the much-raved-about avocado toast. Guests have praised the attentive and kind service, particularly from Maddie and Ashley. The space looks nice, and the portions are brunch-sized and tasty. The beer, drinks, and food, including the perfectly cooked medium-rare burger, have all received high marks. The burger and fries are especially popular and hit the spot.

However, some recent reviews mention that the service can be inconsistent. There have been delays and confusion with orders, possibly due to overwhelmed or inexperienced staff who may not be fully trained. Additionally, the mocktails, such as the non-alcoholic mojito, have not always met expectations, with some ingredients like bitters throwing off the taste. The music sometimes doesn’t match the relaxed vibe, with a mix of Halloween tunes and Broadway songs. Despite these issues, the restaurant’s atmosphere and overall experience remain highly recommended. One customer described it as a "good choice" and loved "every minute" of their visit, highlighting the food, atmosphere, and service as strong points. The potential for an even better experience is present, especially with improvements in staff training and coordination.
