Malia's

Our first time at Malia's was amazing. We're new to Aiken (6 months) and tried the restaurant based on the reviews and their enticing menu. My husband and I, and our two adult sons are foodies--our meals did not disappoint. First off, our server Annabelle was superb. She was friendly and knowledgeable. She new just when to check on us. Everyone's meal was so delicious. For appetizers, we had the pimento cheese dip and the seared scallops. Both were great. Scallops to die for! Our entrees were lamb chops, braised short ribs, daily fish special - corvina and vegetable risotto. All were prepared perfectly. For dessert, we shared the brownie with coffee ice cream which was a great finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The restaurant was busy for a Wednesday. We did make 7 pm reservations. We'll be back. Caught a glimpse of the patio and can't wait to dine out there. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

The staff are very accommodating. Our server could nor have been any more professional. The entire experience was delightful. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Malia's hosted my baby shower and they did not disappoint. The food was high quality, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The service was absolutely outstanding and 100% on point! Levi was our amazing server but every worker in there had a smile on their face. We were originally supposed to be outside on the beautiful shaded patio, but unfortunately, it was raining. They accommodated us to a secluded area inside and it was JUST as perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting the best all-around service. A true gem of Aiken. Hats off to the chef.

This is a very nice place to eat and the people are very present here. Food is great, price is very reasonable for the portion size you get and you come out feeling very satisfied! I enjoyed it!

I loved this restaurant as soon as I walked in, were greeted by a friendly hostess and shown promptly to our table. Our server was knowledgeable about the wines and the menu. The atmosphere was white table cloth but chic.
The place was full , but it was running like a well oiled machine. I hade the Portabello,corn cake and creamy succotash dish, it came with your choice of one of their 3 salads. I got the watermelon with fresh greens and feta. Both were home runs. My wife got the seared scallops and they were done to a turn and very tasty. The wine pairings on the menu were spot on. I wish Columbia had a restaurant like this.
We will definitely take the short drive back!

We have eaten there several times and every time the food and service were fantastic. Best filets in town.

Great fine dining option for downtown Aiken. Lot of cocktail menu.

Best patio in town! Food was excellent, service good and sitting under the cabanas.

I am extremely happy that we have such a classy and clean restaurant, with such a great cosmopolitan cuisine, in Aiken. We greatly appreciate it!)

One of the best food if not the best, in town. Great service, very lively, every one comes for
an always steady quality .

This is our go to place in Aiken. There are alot of good restaurants downtown but the quality for the price at Malia's is outstanding.

Amazing food and friendly service. A quarter of a point off for serving a bottle of wine that was too warm, but our server accommodated by providing an ice bucket to bring things down to serving temperature. Reservation process involves leaving a message, but I received a confirmation call back promptly. Recommended.

Super great atomsphere best enjoyed in formal or casual dressy attire. Smooth Jazz in the background and mid to low noise level. Great wall art and interesting wood trellis dividing the front from the back. My fiance and I did not have to wait to be seated on a busy Thursday evening, and the waitress was kind and attentive to our needs. There was a little bit of a wait between courses, but that is to be expected from a venue that creates delicious high dollar food, not to mention that it allows your stomach to settle and your taste buds to be refreshed for the next course. Entrees were a minimum of $25 dollars, with the high end around $32 from what I saw. Entrees came with a side of salad, and a very small serving of bread. We both chose the main salmon dish, and it was top notch. Flavors were wonderful and everything was cooked to perfection. Appetizers were between 6 and 8 dollars and we were not able to sample their wide variety of alcohol selection. Soda was limited to a small selection, but no doubt because their market is more of a fine wine feel anyways. Will definitely go there again for special occasions, but for an average consumer this isn't really a monthly spend. 10/10 would recommend.

For elegant dining, this restaurant is one of the best in the state of Georgia. Everything about it was 5 star the night we were there. My husband's lamb chops were prepared perfectly. My short rib dish was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. When in Aiken, put on your Sunday best and stroll over to Malia's. Did I mention the Beignets with praline and cream ice cream for dessert?

Fabulous meal. The best salmon I have ever had.🤗 My husbands filet was amazing. The salad was very good as well. The raspberry pie was tart and sweet and yummy❤The only thing I could knock was that they didn’t have Grey Goose vodka, but they are redoing the bar so I’m hoping they have room for it in the future.😃

The burger was excellent. The shrimp and grits were very good. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

Impeccable service, delicious food. Definitely a must try in Aiken!

Shrimp linguine was delicious. Went at lunch time. Would go back 100%

Wonderful lunch! Had the Caesar salad with chicken! Really nice place!

Food was a little slow coming out but well worth the wait. Very delicious!
