I'll give it a 1/5

It was chilly outside so it was a nice surprise when the young lady asked if we wanted to sit by the fireplace. Yes, please!! It was so comfy and warm right there. Our waitress came right over and was so sweet and attentive. I ordered their morning glory burger with the salsa on the side and a salad, and the hubby ordered a cheeseburger with fries. The wait was short and the food was excellent! They forgot to put the salsa on the side for my burger, but it was very good anyway. I'm really starting to enjoy burgers with eggs on them. The salad was enormous! I thought they made a mistake and brought me a $10.00 salad, but no. It was so huge I couldn't finish it, which was a shame because it was so delicious. My hubby said that his was the best burger he's had in a very long time. We were able to leave quickly after finishing our meal since the waitresses carry portable card readers with them and they check you out right at the table which is so very convenient. When we're back next year for Scarefest we will keep Drake's on our radar!

Do they really need six parking spots in the adjacent lot dedicated to take out? Upon arrival, there was a sign directing us to choose our own seating. There was a decent crowd, but the place was not packed. We sat near the bar. We waited a pretty good amount of time before anyone touched our table. For that reason I deducted one star from the review. The food was very good. The crab Rangoon roll hit the spot. Fried pickles were a very generous portion. Buffalo mini bites with fries were also good. Fantastic ranch. The waiter did spill some ranch on his finger and then proceeded to lick it off. That was a bit strange.

We ordered the dumpling soup, wild hamachi sashimi, king salmon sashimi, the Siberian Tiger roll, and the Amazing Tuna roll, and honestly, every bite lived up to the name. The fish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor, and the dumpling soup was so flavorful and delicious. The specialty rolls were creative. The service was on point; attentive, friendly, and efficient. This is one of those spots where you leave already planning your next visit. We loved everything we ordered and can't wait to come back for more.

Stopped by for lunch during restaurant week…read more There is plenty of parking in the shared lot outside. The interior is decorated well - modern, vibrant, and feels more up-scale. We ordered the house salad as appetizer, tuna tower and tofu lettuce wraps as mains, and chocolate torte for dessert. Service was pretty fast. However, the order in which we were served was a bit strange. We ended up receiving our dessert with our main, which left us trying to quickly eat the main so that the sorbet wouldn't melt. The serving sizes are relatively small. The quality of ingredients were good and fresh, but it was an overall light lunch. We grabbed a bite to eat elsewhere not long after. But, for the price it was a nice bite.

As soon as I walked in, the hostess was very friendly and welcoming. She asked if we wanted to be…read moreseated right away, and I explained that we were waiting for the rest of our party since the host hadn't arrived yet. I did ask for a menu, but there appeared to be four or five different menus, which was confusing and not clearly explained at the door. Once our host arrived, we were seated. For anyone wondering about the atmosphere--it's casual and relaxed. Our server, Kelly (if I'm remembering her name correctly), was wonderful. She was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the meal. She brought out our Smoked Chestnut Old Fashioned, along with the appetizers: spinach artichoke dip and carpaccio. Everything was delicious, and the cocktail was smooth, aromatic, and nicely balanced with a smoky finish. The bread service was also a nice touch. For my entrée, I ordered the 5 oz steak with crab and elote. The steak itself was cooked perfectly--right on temperature, tender, and flavorful. The elote was served separately in a white bowl, as shown in the photo, and was enjoyable on its own. What I didn't understand was the "crab" component, which turned out to be a deep-fried sushi roll. That pairing alongside a steak felt unexpected, and the overall plate composition and presentation didn't quite come together for me. That said, this may simply be a difference in perspective. I personally place a strong emphasis on plate presentation and cohesion, and Malone's may focus more on comfort and execution than visual refinement. Overall: Excellent service, a great cocktail, and a perfectly cooked steak. While the rest of the plate wasn't what I expected, the experience was still enjoyable.

I just went back and looked at our order history and receipts to check prices on individual items. Additionally the portion sizes and amount of meat per sushi roll is also noticeably lower, they're using smaller to-go containers than they used to. Sakura 12 used to be our go-to place because it was closer to home, picking up sushi once or twice a month for weekend splurges, to the point that they recognized us when we came in to pick things up. But now? There's no way we're paying 30% more for smaller portions. The sushi was never the best in town, but the admittedly low prices kept them competitive. Now, there's no reason not to go to one of the dozen better places, price was their only edge. If I'm going to drop $100+ on sushi, I'm probably going to spend $20 more to get the REALLY good stuff elsewhere, y'know?

Their cocktails are fancy and well served but the only one I have liked is the pixie stick one. The beer is also great, and so is their dessert.

Apps include asparagus fries, beef carpaccio, calamari, crab cocktail, shrimp cocktail, shellfish tower, spinach and artichoke dip, hot baked lump crab dip, and fried chicken tenders. We had the lump crab dip and it was indeed hot, savory, rich, and cheesy. Pretty good for this far off the coast. They also have a large sushi collection. A large salad selection as well: steakhouse, blue cheese and apple, caesar, salmon spinach, Thai chicken, kale and quinoa, California Cobb, and Malone's Lexingtonian (mixed greens, bacon, tomato, creamy herb dressing). Large seafood selection, including blue crab linguini, fried fish, chilean seabags, grilled salmon piccata, Atlantic salmon, fried shrimp. They also have chicken linguini, alfredo, pan seared chicken, wraps, and burgers. They have a large selection steaks, including prime center cut sirloin, filet mignon (various sizes), Manhattan strip, and more. I had the 8 oz filet mignon, medium. Cooked perfectly. Perfectly seasoned and tender. The fries were super hot and crispy, well seasoned. The bottomless Lexingtonian salad (we each had one plate, that's it) was creamy and cold, but nothing special. Service was wonderful. They also have an extensive cocktail menu with several delicious cocktails. We tried several and enjoyed each one. Everything from savory to refreshing. They had some sweet options as well, but we didn't opt for those. Great crowd pleaser of a restaurant.
