    Our first time eating at Malone's (Palomar) in Lexington. We enjoy finding good restaurants when we travel. The service (Madi) was terrific - personable, knowledgeable, attentive without interrupting. The steaks were excellent and perfectly cooked. Great side dishes. Just a wonderful night. We plan to make more trips to Lexington in the future. This restaurant will be our go to.

    Chris tried to help us. Unfortunately, our service was rough. We did not receive our drinks until 35 minutes into our meal. Our food was severed an hour and ten minutes. We started our dinning experience at 645 but did not finish until 9 pm. Our food was outstanding. We enjoyed Malones and normally eat at this establishment during our time in Lexington. Unfortunately this was a difficult dinner with lack of service and long wait times. The team attempted to help in this situation which we greatly appreciated. We were offered a 50 gift card. However my husband and I have selected to eat at Tony’s on Friday instead. Our food was excellent.

    We've never had a bad experiece at any Malone's restaurant. The food is always good, wait staff good, probably because most of the time a manager will stop by the table to see how things are going.

    Started off on the wrong foot with about 20 minutes between when we sat down and when our waiter first came to us. However they apologized, gave us a free dessert, and all other service after that was great. Food was excellent. Overall a great experience Everytime i go to malones. Will of course go back again

    As always the food was wonderful. DJ, our server, was excellent. He was friendly, professional and attentive. It was very noisy but that was due a full house of diners enjoying themselves and their food.
