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. Dessert options include Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Rhubarb and Almond Shortbread and Banana Puddin’ with Cracker Jacks and Nilla Wafers.

    Went here for a birthday dinner and they made the evening so special!! We also were a good fifteen minutes late and they were so kind and understanding about it. The food was INCREDIBLE— our group shared the hamachi crudo and pimiento cheese (AMAZING) and we ALL got burgers for our main. Best burger and fries I’ve had in DC. Wine and cocktail selection is great too, with decently priced bottles. Ambience is so charming and cozy, just gorgeous. Can’t say enough good things!!!

    Great addition to the neighborhood. Food is top-notch. Nice people working there. Outstanding beer list and fair prices. The new steak with fried oysters on top... wowsers.

    Our server Amanda was wonderful. Very friendly and efficient. Everything we ordered came out quickly. The entrees were delicious — I had the lamb, which was very tender — I would say it almost melted in my mouth. The foie gras appetizer was tasty but light on the foie gras. We shared the key lime dessert, which was very good. We would definitely eat at Mallard again.

    Outstanding food, and a surprisingly good value! Signature dish is not to be missed, and desserts are lovely and light to balance. Cocktails weren’t quite as good, but still decent. Great service and appetizers too!
