Great birthday dinner at Malones. Chef special appetizer was stellar, forget the name , shrimp, lump crab and hush puppy combo kind of thing. Filets were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Side dishes were solid. Great night out. Service was excellent and not rushed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Malones. The food and ambiance were next level good. Our waitress Hanna did an exceptional job at helping us decide what we wanted to try for our first visit. I highly recommend Malones for your next meal.

My husband and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary dinner at Malone's Louisville. We had a 645 pm reservation. We were seated at 655 pm. They were extremely busy and the front of the house was moving like a well oiled machine. Once seated, we noticed an Anniversary card on our table acknowledging our special day. We were greeted by our waiter Colby T. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and offerings. He moved us through each course of our dinner smoothly, helpful with answering our questions and letting us know special menu offers that might interest us since it was our first time dining at Malone's. He was a pleasure to have. Very nice and attentive. Thank you Colby T for making our Anniversary dinner special. The food was nothing short of amazing. From the starter bread and garlic butter, to the shrimp cocktail that we devoured before I even thought about taking a picture! ? Then he brought us the Lexingtonian salad, which was a delicious salad take on a classic BLT...so good. For our dinners, my husband had the 8 ounce filet mignon (medium rare) with lemon parmesan broccoli. I had the 4 ounce filet medallion with steakhouse mac n cheese and a Crab Rangoon sushi roll. For our Anniversary Colby brought a complementary dessert and we chose the sea salt chocolate chip cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Overall, our dinner was so delicious. We did not have anything that we wouldn't order again. Our filets were melt in your mouth...it was all so good. We will definitely be back to explore more of the large menu offerings. Our waiter, Colby was very good at his job and worked to make sure we had everything we needed without having to ask for it. He definitely helped make our experience great

Our reservations for our anniversary were at 6:30We arrived at 6:25 and we were told they had to clean the table off. We could look in the next room, and there were two wide open four top tables. At 6:40 I asked can we sit at one of those tables and I was told they were reserved. at 6:45 they sat us at one of those tables. After a while, our salads came out, and before we had taken two or three bites of our salads, our dinner came out. That's not the way service is supposed to be. We should've had time to enjoy our salad and our cocktail before our dinner came. We did appreciate the free anniversary dessert but I would choose another fine restaurant in Louisville to celebrate something special.

Great atmosphere, food and service. Noise level at dinner time is deafening, so lunch visit is preferable if acoustics are a concern. Can't wait for crab to be back in season so I can order the crab cakes!

Enjoyed the fish and chips entree for St Pat's day. Entire experience did NOT disappoint! Great food and great service from our waiter and his assistant. Easily one of our faves for all occasions!

Last experience at Malones wasn't great but they made it right. This time my wife wanted to go there for her birthday for the maple bacon chicken but they removed it from the menu. She got the chicken special, it was awful, dry and hardly any meat. I ordered the chicken finger meal, awful as well. Had better chicken fingers from Canes. They tasted like they had been fried way too long. Other 2 meals were steaks, those were good. Used to go to Malones in Lexington, the one is Louisville needs work. Waiter could have cared less how our meal was. Took forever to pay. Salad was good. Not sure if we will ever go back. Updating because they called and do care.
Friendly staff, getting our food was great too but the food was not very good. Potatoes were hardly cooked and someone in my party got the blue crab linguine and it was cold and awful took 2 bites and was finished. The Lextonian was as great as ever like always.
Everything was great. This place is whatever you want it to be. Fancy, nice/casual...whatever. I went to Malones for a quiet bite to eat and it was more casual. Had the grilled salmon and broccoli. Everything was perfect. Their seafood is always great. The waitstaff was attentive and great as well.

Average place nothing really stands out compared to other similar restaurants. Wall of bourbon is impressive focal point. I have been before but would look for something else next time.
Malones is always delicious. I love the fresh bread and salad. We got the steak and chicken, both were super good but honestly incredibly salty. :( I thought that the portion of the chicken dinner was good for the price but does feel like a lot of food!
i've really enjoyed coming to Malones. My daughter and I celebrated her birthday today. The restaurant was very nice. They even gave us a birthday card with their loyalty program. I had an option for a free dessert. My daughter had the child fillet, and I had the lunch, Wagyu burger. This burger was amazing. It was juicy had so much flavor. I did like their french fries, even though it was not housemate, my daughters fillet was cooked perfectly had amazing flavor. The staff I believe their name was Ryan and Terry I believe. They were very responsive and attentive. The host staff, and the manager that visit our table were very nice.

Food AND service were both exceptional! Only challenge was in the noise level at peak time but stay a while and it drops as the night wears on. Again, excellent dining! Five stars!!!!!

Walked in at the time of our reservation and were seated promptly. Our server addressed us within minutes and provided drinks. He suggested several items after inquiring if we had dined there recently or at all before. Fresh salad is free every evening for the table with meals. Our reservation was pre-theater for a party of four. Our dining experience lasted 1.5 hours. Totally satisfied with several fillets and a chicken finger dinner. The crème brûlée dessert was excellent. A smoked old-fashioned and several coffee drinks were perfect. Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this location in Louisville.
