Outside is packed. Nice inside. Food was great and so was the serivce.

Met for a reunion dinner with former coworkers and had a wonderful experience! Celebrated three birthdays and our service was excellent. The crab cakes are perfect, not too much breading. They were cooked to perfected and atop a delicious green tomato. Accompanied by the traditional asparagus and the bottomless house salad, this was a perfect meal. We wanted something to share for dessert and did the famous ice cream cake. For $8.99 it was enough to feed 10. Don't miss this special event! read more

Malone's was a great steak house. The ambiance was nice and the service was wonderful. No complaints.

I did not mean to give them two stars. We entered the restaurant at 4:30. The self important young lady in charge handed us off to another. We walked by several empty booths and the entire middle section was empty. We were seated at a small dark booth. We asked for something else. She conferred with manager and came back to tell us that she would "try" to find something else. Manager approached and was lacking in customer relations. After awhile we got up to leave. The girl was returning. We asked if we could have a booth. She said that they were booked and no. It was 4:30. There wasn't anyone in lobby waiting for all those empty booths and tables. We left and went to Sedona TapHouse where we were treated with kindness and respect. They appreciated our business. read more

This place is ok to say the best. They have a great music selection and a good salad but that's about it. i've found that the sliders are good but the steaks are sometimes over cooked and always over seasoned. The fish is always frozen and for a seafood and steak place this should not happen. The service is good but the food just really mediocore at best. read more

I recently had lunch at Malone's in Palomar, and enjoyed it. The service was excellent, and the menu choices were many. I had an excellent salad and it was more than I could eat in one sitting. I will be back! read more

Excellent meal & service. Table had sushi, steak & chicken. Everything was excellently prepared and arrived quickly for a busy Saturday night. Elizabeth, our server, was knowledgable, offered great suggestions and also kept our glasses full & table cleared. We made a reservation, which I strongly suggest. Spicy tuna roll is spicier than I've ever had and one piece did it for me. Crunchy Tuna roll was excellent, as was the crab Rangoon appetizer & soft shell crab roll. Ribeye was aged & prepared perfectly. Highly recommend this for a surf & turf meal. read more

Just go to Tony's and skip the confused teenager servers. We had ok drinks, appetizers oysters and fried pickles. After that the meal fell apart. No one got their meals together and the replacement meals for the cold dishes were all rushed dog poop. net net . I was never impressed with this place. read more

My husband and I wanted to try a new steakhouse and we were told this place was really good. It's very expensive- I would even compare some of their meals to be priced the same as jeff Ruby's. However, the quality of the food was not worthy of the price. I don't mind paying $150 for a meal but I was very displeased at the food. We ordered a potato fondue appetizer and it was very very salty. I couldn't even eat more than two. Then I had a green apple blue cheese salad and it was amazing . Next was the steak with blue cheese crumble and not only was I disappointed in the presentation, the taste did not match the price. That's for sure! read more

Food is excellent every time I have eaten at Malone's. Sea bass, sushi, steaks are all the very best!!

Nice atmosphere, great steaks and seafood. Sushi is fresh too!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. If your in Lexington this is a must go.

It's been a couple of years since we have been back on vacation to this location. I was disappointed in the quality and way my steak was prepared. When the wait staff warns you that the chef likes to bath the steak in extremes amount of salt because that how he believes you char a steak - then be warned. If salty is your desire then this place is for you. Not me nor the others that also ordered their steaks lightly seasoned. read more

THE MOST TERRIBLE HORRIBLE STEAK EXPERIENCE EVER!!! First, my petite filet was raw in the center, not medium rare and I almost choked on a piece of crab shell in the king crab on top. Then my husband's filet was cold and raw. We sent them both back and they came back burned to a crisp. My husbands filet was still raw! It was sent back again and was so terrible that he could not even put a fork in it. This was the second chance for Malone's. A few months ago I had a similar experience across town with a raw steak that was sent back three times. However that manager made it right, this one did not. He comped my $8 appetizer and offer us a crappy dessert telling us it was hard to get a thick cut of meat done in the center and that there was often shell in the crab because it was freshly pulled from the shell. That was a sorry excuse if you ask me. I will not go back ever again. read more

I love this restaurant so much! The food is great and perfectly priced. The staff is very kind and caring and always stepping forward to help. The Cesar salad is highly recommended by me, it has a perfect dressing to lettuce ratio. You will definitely be seeing my face back here soon!! read more

While a 2 star review may seem like I hated this restaraunt, that really isn't the case, so let me start off with the positives: the wait staff was extremely polite and, for the most part, very timely and attentative in checking up on us. The seafood portions of the meal were delicious. We had an appetizer of calamaro with a sweet chili sauce which was great and one of the entree items we had was the crab rangoon roll which has easily got to be one of the best things they serve here, it's amazing. The negatives started when the main entree's came out. This first one is picky but the frequency of our servers checking in on us dipped once the food came out and I went most of my meal with an empty glass. Secondly, the macaroni that accompanied the 4.5 oz filet and crab rangoon roll was extremely sub par, especially for the prices a place like this charges. I've had better macaroni out of of a box from kraft at home. Lastly, my 4.5 oz filet was ordered rare but came out medium to medium rare at best. Now let me say that I find that most restaraunts I go to don't know how to a cook a steak properly but I wouldn't be as hard on them in a review like this in light of what they charge for their food. When my wife and I order an appetizer, 2 entrees and a glass of wine a piece and my bill is $100, I just expect the food to be better than this. read more

The food was way too salty. The ribeye was different thicknesses so cooked unevenly. For $44, I expect a better cut. Half the fries were fresh and half were old and cold. The bread was good. Not up to their usual standards. read more

I used to eat malones 3-5 times a month about three years ago. I will admit nothing in particular threw me off. But it has went from a 4.5 star to 5 star to a generous 4 star as of the last few years. The steaks are still perfect, but if you're not getting a steak then you're looking at good food not great food. The ahi tuna is hands down (besides the over priced lobster) the only worth ordering seafood from the grill entree. It's just changed a bit as a whole. With all the said my many visits, I have tried just about everything. The coach cals chicken, oysters Rockefeller, spin dip, crab Rangoon roll and off the menu prime rib sandwich are all A+ meals tho. Malones will always be good I just miss the over all feeling of "Malones" a few years back. read more

I'm giving this Malones a 3 star bc the food is mediocre, the carry-out staff sucks, and they ALWAYS mess up my order. I always get sushi, salad, mac and cheese, and other meals. I stopped going there bc of these reasons. I wish their ingredients were fresher in making sushi, bc I can go to Good Foods and get an all organic cali roll for the same price AND I'm getting more in quantity. Also, the salad is just poor quality...seems like they open a bag and serve it...nothing special. read more

Hard to believe this place is so popular. I think their food is lousy. Had several gift cards and took family there for a birthday. We all ordered the 8 oz sirloin and everybody agreed the only good thing about the evening was that the meal was free. read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant, my personal Lexington favorite. Every time that I'm in town I make sure to visit this place and they've been my family's pick for birthdays and other celebrations for several years now. I love the beautiful dark wood floors and the warm, contemporary decor. I also love the framed, signed menus hanging on the wall signed by any famous patron. Malone's, Harry's, Sal's, and Aqua all offer separate menus and exist as a group of four restaurants at both Lexington locations. If you ask the server though, you can actually order off of any of those menus from any seat in the 'house.' A couple of my personal favorites include the blueberry pomegranate iced tea, the California Cobb salad (Harry's menu), the sushi combos from the Aqua menu (with the shrimp tempura rainbow roll! yum!), and any one of their steaks. For starters, the calamari comes with a delicious sweet and hot sauce that keeps you coming back for more. Any steak comes with a bottomless "Lexingtonian" salad which I really wish I could eat all the time. Each steak I've ordered here has arrived perfectly seasoned and cooked exactly how I ordered. And you should do your best to save room for dessert. My personal favorite, "The World's Greatest Dessert," easily provides a generous portion for four people and is a delicious combination of ice cream, cookie, and cake. If you ever find yourself in Lexington, Kentucky, this place is a must visit! read more

I've been going to Malone's for years. And I think it's fantastic. However lately they have embarked on team approach to service,and you are constantly Interrupted. As to service,its to much,its intrusive and repetitive and to top it off they call you the next to see it you were satisfied. Enough! read more

Probably the best restaurant I have been to in my life. I am quite serious!!! Their food is consistently wonderful. It starts with their blueberry iced tea. Sweet with a hint of berry flavor. Next you get hot bread fresh out of the oven. The spread that comes with it is heavenly. It has green onion, cream cheese and butter whipped together to make spreading easy. Their salads are awesome! The Lexintonian Salad tastes like a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich without the bread. Their Blue Cheese Apple Salad has a poppy seed dressing that I love. I get this salad every time and don't even like to eat blue cheese! If you get it with the blackened chicken on top it just makes it even better. Their bar area is decorated with a racing theme with plenty of TV's to see all the sports channels. Their steak is divine. I had the pleasure of trying a fillet with a bourbon sauce. It melted in your mouth. Unfortunately it was a special that is not on their menu all the time, but I can't say enough about the top quality meat at this restaurant. Malones is also apart of Harry's which is burgurs, and Aqua Sushi. Their Crab Ragoon Roll is my favorite kind of sushi they serve. Service is always friendly and prompt even when they are busy. People say that it can be expensive, but they have a great rewards program. You save up points to get money off of your bill. Every dollar spent is a point, and once you reach 100 dollars, it equal $10 which you can use that day, or spend on a subsequent visit. If I have family or friends come visit, we go here and we always end up coming a second time during their vist because they can't stop talking about it either. TRY IT! You will not regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

We always try to stop at Malones for lunch when traveling to/from OH from TN. Today we had soup and salad for lunch. I had the Granny Smith apple salad and white chicken chili. Hubby had Lexington salad and chili. Salads arrived first which we asked for that way. Mine was amazing. Hubby asked for balsamic dressing and was brought salad with their house dressing-so he sent back. He said his chili wasn't very warm either. My soup came out and it looked like chicken noodle soup without noodles. No beans or anything to resemble chili. It was good, but I would never call it white bean chicken chili. Mine was also lukewarm. Again, we LOVE this place but today they seemed a little off. It was just mediocre service and food. read more

My favorite restaurant in Lexington. Steaks are always perfect. Lexingtonian salad is bottomless and tasty. Love the atmosphere, service is always top of the line. read more

We enjoyed an anniversary dinner on September 3, 2017, both of us ordering the grilled salmon. As always, it was perfect in every way. Large portion, high-quality fish, cooked exactly right. Crisp on the outside, tender throughout. Malone's is my favorite restaurant ever. I wish I lived closer so I could enjoy it more often. The Lexingtonian salad was delicious, as well as our sides, asparagus and macaroni and cheese. A wonderful meal to celebrate our anniversary. Kudos to all Malone's locations; we've been at all three. read more

We dined at Malones Paloma's on 8/10. My son ordered a filet off the kids menu and another adult in our group ordered a filet. When the food arrived my son complained that his plate smelled bad. At first I just thought he was joking. He took a bite of steak and spit it out. My husband tasted and said it was rancid. I smelled a piece and tasted it. It was awful. Completely rancid. The other person at our table with a filet had the same thing. Completely rancid and inedible. They smelled terrible. I can't believe they could have cut up and grilled those pieces without smelling how off it was. We were stunned. The server was nice and efficient and brought them new meals but it turned everyone off. No one apologized or came by to explain. My father in law paid and tipped well, but we would never go back. read more

Consistently bad service/good food. It's a toss-up. We eat here about once a month, and often bring out-of-town guests, but we always have to warn them in advance about the bad service. When you arrive you are fawned over by a server and server's assistant, but once your order is placed, you're on your own. The food is generally delivered by someone you've never seen before. Ask them for steak sauce, another drink, or anything and they will smile, agree, and disappear from your life forever. Your server will not come back, ever, until you're able to flag them down after 20+ minutes of waiting for the bill. (Or just waiting to ask for the bill.) Last week we ate in the bar, hoping for better service there, but had the exact same experience. It would be funny if we weren't paying $75 to $100 for dinner. The pros are the food - consistently good steak, good though unimaginative specials, great burger, delicious salad, etc. Just please - PLEASE - train your staff. Two visits ago my steak came out well-done when ordered medium-rare. That's just a mix-up and can happen anywhere, but I couldn't find a server for 15 minutes to correct the error. By this time my companion has finished his meal, his drink, and was pretty much ready to leave, while I still had no dinner. I once visited the hostess station to ask if they could have someone bring us our bill, because we had been waiting almost half an hour. They then had the nerve to try to upsell us a dessert. It goes on and on. We keep going back for the food, and hope to one day figure out if they have a good waiter we could request. I hate to give a good local company this type of review, but again - please train your staff. read more

Went here for a large family dinner and it was great all the way around. For such a large bustling restaurant, the service was personal, helpful and spot on. And the food--which ranges from sushi to steaks to salads --and combos available for many of the offerings which is such a plus--was all well prepared to order and pleased everyone at the table.cant remember what the house salad is called, but it is bottomless and for our large group was served family style what a plus. Would highly recommend for lunch or dinner--service, ambiance was wonderful and the noise level was very manageable , and food was spot on. read more

Nice feature; 3 restaurants in one! Everything was well done! Oysters Rockefeller, twin fillets with BBQ and with Crab Rangoon Rolls, Calamari Salad, World's Greatest Dessert (Angel Food Cake, Black Cherry Ice Cream, Choc. Chip Ice Cream, Oreo crumbles, Caramel sauce, Chocolate sauce, Whipped Cream...Yum!) read more

Really good food, but having three separate menus and seating can be confusing for first time guests.

The steaks are as good as it gets, the sushi quite incredible, the service is consistently good, and altogether the experience is great. We are there often, and we will keep comging back. read more

Once again we celebrated a birthday at Malone's. They were very ready for us. The service was prompt and accurate without being pushy. I have heard that the steaks are and the sushi is...inconsistent. Ordered the maple glazed chicken and liked it very much. We will be back. read more
