I'm newer to the area (moved in '19 with my hubby and fur babies!) and Stove and Tap was my go-to restaurant. When I heard that they were re-branding, I waited patiently and anticipated something great. I came in ecstatic and left devastated. First in foremost, the restaurant smelled. The smell was not the delicious smoked duck that I was anticipating ordering, it STUNK like dirty mop water. Cautiously, my husband and I sat down. I asked for a merlot and a water neither of which arrived until my husband and I were half way through our appetizer, lobster ravioli which is comparable to Friskies cat food mixed with chef Boyardee. My husband ordered the salmon dish and asked for it to be cooked through and the waitress looked at him like he had an extra eyeball. I ordered the smoked duck, holding out hope that it would be good. The food arrived and while we tried to make the best of it, truly, it looked and tasted like something you could get at Ruby Tuesdays (CHEAP!). There was not one familiar staff member, which was so disappointing. The same staff that welcomed us to Malvern has been replaced with snobbish, inexperienced waitstaff. I'm not sure who's idea it was to welcome "Joey's Chop" to Malvern, but it was certainly a miSTEAK.
