"Update 8.20.22: One of the managers from Malones called me after reading my two-star review. He was courteous and apologized for our recent visit (read below . I wanted to update my review with FIVE stars. An establishment that cares for their customers deserves a pass now and then. We will be back. I’ve added some photos of some of our visits over the years along with the letter from corporate. Good job, Malones! Original review: First, let me start by saying we’ve been fans of Malone’s for over twenty years, and with four children, we’ve always counted it as a splurge, but Malone’s is their favorite restaurant to celebrate birthdays. We are always pleased with their exceptional service, every table having several waiters to help, and even the manager stopping by your table to check if you had a great experience. Last night, (8.13.22 our daughter was turning 21 and like usual, Malone’s was her choice, talking about it for weeks and planning what she would order. When our dinners arrived I was immediately surprised at how poorly plated my daughters twin filets looked. They were slapped on a plate, not cleaned up — gravy spread all over — making it look like it came straight from a frozen food box. Normally, we take photos of our choices but I didn’t even bother since her plate looked so unappetizing. Also, she ordered a baked potato that arrived on a separate plate, making it very awkward, switching from one large plate to another and so on. I was so sad for her. I’m not sure exactly what happened last night but it wasn’t what we expected AT ALL. Other issues — my husbands beer arrived midway through his meal, the birthday cookie dessert was melted (since the waiter set it on the hostess desk while he served water and bread to another table . We told him NUMEROUS times that we were NOT in a hurry so there was little need for him to bring the dessert with another tables drinks… it made no sense . Speaking of the waiter—despite the several snafus, we tipped correctly (20% , because we know hospitality is a difficult job, especially on a busy Friday evening. Having said that, he wore a larger mask, making it difficult to hear him in the loud dining area. He also wore kitchen food-grade gloves (the noisy, uncomfortable ones , and honestly, neither of those things bothered us. The issue was watching him fumble while wearing the gloves, pulling an open soy sauce bottle straight from his apron pocket — really? I declined the sauce. If he was so worried about germs, having the open bottle in his pocket is a red flag that being sanitary was not his main goal. The whole thing was just odd. If you’re going to wear a mask and gloves—fine—but choose a job in the restaurant where you aren’t expected to be heard or understood. The best part tho, I’m kidding, was going to the ladies room to find NO toilet paper —NONE—in either stall, and having to use the only two remaining seat covers as a waste paper. C’mon? The floors were wet and I’ve already broken a hip in my life so that was frustrating getting out of there. Was the food good, aside from the steak, yes, it was. Will we be back? I don’t think we will for a celebration. Which is sad. I hope this location can give us a better experience if we return. We were all just disappointed, and the manager would have known had they simply stopped by our table and asked. You know, like they usually do."

"This was my 2nd time and I loved it even more. Took the whole family for my sister's birthday. We had the pizza that was out of this world, great crust. Gnocchi, ravioli ... everything is so fresh and delicious. John, the owner, is a real gentleman and knows how to take care of his customers and the server we had that evening. I never felt rushed and could just enjoy the atmosphere and the great food. I highly recommend this restaurant. We look forward to a reunion."

"After only giving us the options 7:15 or 7:45, not 7:30 as we wanted. When we arrived at 7:15 am for our reservation, they made us wait for half an hour. Although they apologized, they didn't offer us free after-dinner coffee or any other specific apology. This type of service does not encourage return visits. The rest of the service was good except that the waiter tried to suggest the Dom Perignon champagne for $ 350 (he didn't tell us the price)."

"I absolutely love it here. Caroline is a light in my day. Everyone here is so lovely. The food is good, the sushi slaps. Vegetarian options: They have an online menu, I would definitely check that. I have seen several vegetarian options though. Parking: It can be a little snug. A lot of the patrons here seem to drive crossovers or SUVs, or a big old trucks. Wheelchair accessibility: It appears to be a solid level, and wheelchair accessible on either Drake's or Malone's side."

"My friend and I were with The Tulip last night. We were often and it is always a wonderful experience. Not shown, we always start with the Sausage Crostini and keep the side of marinara it comes to immerse your bread in it! I had a salad and the shells that were in a garlic-wine sauce that I would have drank out of the bowl if we were not in the public. My friend had the bone pork chop with a bourbon glaze over smoked Gouda grooms and green beans. Everything was perfectly cooked and our server was professional and experienced in fine restaurants. We love it here because the food is as good as any fine restaurants, but the atmosphere is more like a quarter of bistro. Definitely recommend!"
