    We had a great experience celebrating my husbands birthday at Malones at the Landsdowne location. While it was very busy, the staff was very professional and efficient. We were seated close to our reservation time, and Kyle the waiter was very friendly. We ordered several courses, which were all delicious, and they arrived in a very timely manner. My husband even received a complimentary birthday dessert, which we were not expecting! The restaurant was quite loud, but I would expect that as it was completely full the entire time, with folks waiting to be seated at all times as well.

    As always, we had a lovely evening. The cook on our steaks was perfect, sides delicious, cocktails and wine prompt and mixed perfectly! Sophia was an absolute delight! It’s not often I’d request a server upon return but, I’d be seated with her anytime!

    Consistently wonderful! We enjoyed Happy Hour wine, Old Fashioned, and pretzel & beer cheese - all great! Our entrees were Caesar Salad with Chicken, and the Tofu Stirfry - also equally great! I try to eat less meat these days, and the tofu dish is perfect. Compliments to the chef! Only complaint today was the background music was turned up really loud.
