    I went here for my sister in laws birthday dinner and it was a wonderful experience. Our server was very attentive and kind. The restaurant already knew it was my sister in laws birthday because of the note I put on OpenTable when I booked it and brought her a free dessert. Our food was absolutely delicious. I had their fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and they were to die for. I had their halibut for an entree and it was the best I’ve had. Such an overall great experience.

    Malone's staff long has put a priority on exemplary service. Supervisors know customers have high expectations of the restaurant, it's good, and the service workers provide. Our visit on Feb. 15 met, or exceeded, any expectations we had going in. Our main server, Caroline, was highly attentive and service-oriented, even though she was apparently having to double at the bar. Support staff who assisted in serving us also were superbly friendly and helpful. Simply put, our meal, and our entire experience at Malone's, could not have been better!

    Stellar! Excellent service and hospitality from the team. The steak and lobster were devine. The salad, coffee and dessert were all prepared well and served in an attractive manner. Even the music was perfect! The attire is business casual and everyone there abided. My cocktail was picture perfect and each sip was delicious. I recommend this for any evening you feel like a better meal and ambiance. Ask for the high tops if you wish to be near the stage—our evening was a pianist. We were in the main dining room which was accented by huge chandelier and lovely art. We loved it! $10 valet worth it. Tip everyone well, they are worth it. We will be back more often.

    We were promptly seated in a great booth for our late-evening anniversary dinner. All of the staff members were very professional. The restaurant environment was just right...not too quiet (stuffy) and not too noisy. Our server handled everything perfectly. Most importantly, the food was outstanding. Definitely one of the best steaks I've had anywhere, along with delicious baked potato and onion straws. I highly recommend Tony's and will come back again for another excellent experience soon.
