    Our trip to Malone’s was great. We were seated promptly and greeted by our server immediately. Our server, Renee, was amazing! She was knowledgeable, had great recommendations, and she was very attentive throughout our visit. As always, the bread and Lexingtonian salad were delicious, and our steaks were even better - seasoned well and cooked just the way we wanted! On our way out several staff members thanked us for dining at Malone’s. All of this makes us want to come back again soon!

    Delores was the BEST server we’ve had at any restaurant in a long time. She understands how to speak to people which most do not know how to do these days. We appreciated her and will definitely request her every time we go.
