The atmosphere felt warm and upscale without being too formal, which made the whole experience really enjoyable.Had a fantastic dinner at Malone’s Chop House! The steak was cooked perfectly—tender, juicy, and full of flavor.

We went a few weeks ago, and don't usually post reviews, but this was a special case so I finally decided to do so. Better that you know. This place used to be Embers steakhouse. Unfortunately the food was pretty bad as this new version of the Embers was sorely lacking. We started with appetizers of bacon with peanut butter and jalapeño jelly, and fried calamari. Calamari was overly salty, but ok. The bacon and jelly was good, but the peanut butter just didn't go, and this too was ultra salty.
We shared a 40 oz porterhouse steak with mash and spinach. The spinach was not edible. It was stringy, chewy, and tasted like cardboard, but still overly salty. The baked mash potatoes were a weird consistency, and again, overly salty. The steak was just ok, nothing special. And yet again, salty. We did not bother with any dessert. It was expensive, considering how bad it was. With a few drinks around $200 without tip. Service was good though, food was crappy.
If in Bay Ridge, go to Chadwicks instead.

First time Girls night at Malone’s was the best time—great drinks, we shared 1 steak and salmon, and a bunch of appetizers, such a warm atmosphere, music wasn’t loud enough for us, we asked to put the music up a lil and the really funny owner said no problem. There was 6 of us, Thank you!

Came in after work for happy hour and really enjoyed it. Drinks were well made, prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was lively. Service was good and the portions were generous. We didn’t get to try everything we wanted, so we’ll definitely be back soon.

I came here with my husband and everything we ordered was delicious and spectacular. We ordered four appetizers arancini meatballs a short rib roll and fried burrata and every single one tasted amazing. The flavors were rich fresh and perfectly cooked. For my main dish I ordered the linguine Bolognese which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. My husband ordered the bone in ribeye cooked medium rare and he loved it it was cooked to perfection. Overall the food was incredible and we truly enjoyed our experience. We would definitely come back again.

The fried Calamari was just hard breadcrumbs! The burgers were not cooked right, one well done came out raw, medium well came out rare. 4 out of 4 burgers were wrong. When we told the waiter, he did not even apologize! One person ordered the steak and that was fine ,however, the baked potato on the side was not! She took a bite, and there was something very hard in it. She could not even chew it. She had to spit it out.. Service was almost nonexistent!!
And while we were eating, they were bringing the raw steaks to put in the refrigerator. Not very appetizing at all

Great Bay Ridge spot. My new happy hour spot Met my husband after work for a drink, Very nice, they were playing freestyle on the speakers good drinks and cheap prices. Didn't get a chance to eat, that's next.

Went on a Saturday night and the place was pretty busy. We started with some very well crafted drinks made by Adam, For food we started off with wedge salad and shrimp cocktail, then I had the strip steak and my girl ordered the stuffed flounder Special Both were spot on. Will return soon to try other dishes. Staff was short handed but great.

What an experience! Phenomenal service, cozy atmosphere, amazing drinks and the food to die for. The blackberry cocktail was my favorite. 10/10 recommend!
Went Sunday the day after Valentines day. They had no rib eyes at all, went and got a 40 once porter house the steak came out it looked like a 25 Oz 95$ dollars way too expensive for what I got

Went here for the first time on Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend. The food was outstanding and the music was amazing (I love freestyle) we had a great time. Although they may have been short staffed , the wait staff/ manager did everything they could for such a busy night - people need to give them more credit. I will be back

What a shocking experience. We arrived for a 7:30 reservation on Valentine's to find a packed bar area filled with people waiting for tables. There was no host or hostess, mostly empty dining room tables, and unhappy folks talking about how they'd been waiting for their reserved table for an hour already and had not been called for seating. We finally got the attention of one of the waiters who said it would be a few minutes. That person did not check a reservation system to check us in, nor did they write our names down on any list. There was NO system in place for check ins from what we experienced.
As we waited more people with reservations arrived. It was chaos. We cut our losses and left after we heard that a seated table had already waited for 40 minutes without a visit from the overwhelmed waitstaff. We do not know what happened to cause the mess, but the restaurant appeared to be in a tailspin. We had a great dinner across the street, and didn't let it ruin our Valentine's Day.
After we finished our dinner, we checked back at Malone's to see the same people waiting to be seated. The restaurant still showed available reservations for the night. Something appeared off, and we will not be making another attempt to visit this restaurant.
