    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.

    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.

    Delicious food with perfectly sized portions. The Ravioli Della Nonna was divine with a smooth creamy red sauce, the Chicken Parm light and delicate, and the spaghetti with meatballs robust and classic. The red velvet strawberry cake was otherworldly and the classic vanilla ice cream was a creamy gelato that stole the show! Definitely recommend!

    Wonderful meal in Lexington! The southern chicken entree was delicious—I got a side of carrots and Brussels sprouts and both were flavorful and well-cooked. My son got the bolognese and loved it. Strong wine list, too!
