    Hot Baked Lump Crab Dip
    Pam W.

    After many years, this is still one of our favorites! The quality and service can't be beat, and this is one of our favorite Malone's locations. The Lexingtonian is a salad we crave, the calamari and crab dip are both spectacular appetizers, and there are so many entrees that we love. Great steak and shrimp top the list. For a special occasion or a casual lunch, you can never go wrong with Malone's.

    We came to Malones to celebrate a birthday and have a fun girls dinner. Our food was delicious, server very attentive and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was perfect! We had so much fun. Great food, great time!

    Always will recommend a reservation! Service has always been on point and been I've always been well taken care of. The ambiance is chill but also romantic. I've never gotten anything bad with service, food or experience. The sushi is a must for me, along with the filet, potato croquettes and the Pixie Stick cocktail! My husband and I are regulars to Malones! I also always choose to dine here for my birthday!

    Breakfast Burrito
    Molly C.

    I have ate at Malone's several times but this was my first time trying the brunch menu, and it did not disappoint my favorite was the quiche because the cheese sauce on top with all the bacon tasted delicious. The potato's were surprisingly good as well, as I thought they looked a little dry, but the taste was so good. This was my first time trying a breakfast burrito and it was chocked full of all your typical breakfast fixings that potato's, eggs, bacon, and more.

    Lemon ricotta pancakes
    Presley J.

    First time trying Malone's new weekend brunch! They had a limited menu but something for everyone. The lemon ricotta pancakes were exceptional. They had the perfect amount of fluff and the lemon taste wasn't overbearing. We ordered the breakfast burrito but got it "naked" aka without the tortilla and it was so delicious. My only gripe would be that the avocado toast wasn't toasted. It was just on a soft piece of bread which was disappointing. I opted to get the eggs scrambled instead of sunny side up as the menu states and I'm glad I did because with the bread being untoasted it couldn't support the weight of the avocado or eggs enough to hold it with my hands. Our service was amazing! The renovated inside is so nice! I loved their new booths. I would go back and try some of the other breakfast dishes!

    This location is THEEE top tier steakhouse in Kentucky! Signatures of Chefs, Singers, Football Players, and so on, that have visited the restaurant and signed their name on a memorabilia , that hangs along the restaurant walls. I visited in a group of 3 to discuss feedback from a camp that had been completed, during the week. Even though it was storming and raining Clydesdale horses, we managed to make it safe. Top tier customer service! From the waiter's mannerisms, his knowledge of bourbon, the smile on his face of enjoying "the pleasure to assist you with anything you need tonight ". Amazing etiquette young Man!! I'll figure out his name. He needs a raise and I made sure to tip him accordingly. Food was exceptional! From the apps of Parm crusted fried asparagus, THAT CRAB RANGOON ROLL (bussinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn), the filets, salmon picatta, THAT BREAD & CHIVE BUTTER, and anything that says "garlic, lemon, Parm". They have a great system in place here! Genius! Kisses to all the Chefs and bar backs and bartenders and waitresses and waiters and expediters !!!!!! Front of House Staff and most importantly those that make sure the facility is spotless at all times.....and the Dishwashers!!! I'll be back! Bourbon everywhere!!

    Quiche with Home Fries
    Jaewon K.

    Great weekend brunch with amazing service and upscale ambiance. The lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and not too sweet. Quiche and breakfast burrito were both a little salty but still flavorful and packed. Food wasn't too rich, perfect for a brunch meal. Portions are also very generous for the price.

    The food, service, ambiance, seating, smells great, clean, vibrant, and great drinks. The managers name is Haven. She is awesome, kind, and thoughtful. Faye was my waiter and was helpful, caring, and attentive. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and warmth, with dim lighting that sets a cozy, intimate tone and elegant ornamentation that elevates the entire dining experience. Whether you're here for a special occasion or just a night out, the atmosphere immediately makes you feel like you're in good hands. If Upper management at Malone's Palomar is reading this, please give Haven and Faye a raise, bonus, and extra PTO. Because of them and their staff I will be eating here every time I come to Lexington. Thanks again Haven and Faye, I can't remember the name of the busser but she did a great job as well. Best regards, God Bless, and Happy Holidays.

    Arrived around 7:30pm on a Thursday. It was busy. There were not many tables open, however, we found a table big enough to seat six of us but just needed to be cleaned. Asked for the table to be cleaned out and it was done. We sat, ordered drinks including beers, unsweet tea and water for each of us. The server was very nice and kind, drinks were brought out in about five to ten minutes. Then we placed our main dish orders along with some appetizers. Most of us ordered steaks with rare, medium-rare and medium cooked. However, one steak that was supposed to be rare looked more like medium or even medium-well done. Regardless, the steaks were really good and even the menu says 10oz, it looked like it could be 16oz. Also, steaks came with one side - corn, mashed potatoe, asparagus, broccoli, fries or mc and cheese. One of the sides was brought out wrong when we ordered broccoli, the server brought out corn. I had Grilled Salom Piccata. It was amazing! Huge juicy salmon fillet on top of linguini, the portion was too much to finish in one seating and I normally don't leave the dish unfinished but I could not get linguini cleaned off of the plate. When we ordered an additional beer, again, we got the wrong beer. It's pretty expensive restaurant/bar looking at the menu and orders seem to be not placed correctly. Steaks not being cooked as we asked and wrong sides/beer being brought out. However, the server was very nice, just few mistakes we just had to address. Overall, good dinner experience and the place got really slow after 8pm/8:30pm -ish.

    Service was good but our brunch took basically an hour to come out and was lukewarm. I would not recommend this place for brunch.
