    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!
