    Malone's is always a good choice. The food is tasty, amount of food plentiful & nice atmosphere. Parking can be a challenge at the Palomar location but it's a big parking lot & you will find a place. We celebrated a birthday & were treated to a dessert. The wait for our order seemed a little long. Unfortunately, just as they were bringing the tray out, there was a mishap & the tray went crashing to the floor! Apologies were made & a rush put on the order. Eventually we received our order & everything was great. We all had take home boxes.

    I eat here anytime I go to Lexington or Louisville. The Bluegrass special chicken is one of my all-time favorite dishes I’ve ever eaten. It’s usually absolutely delicious. While it was good tonight, the sauce, or glacé, was not right. Normally it has a little bit of sweetness to it from the bourbon. Tonight there was no sweetness, and the depth of the sauce was just not there. I did tell my server, but he did not seem particularly concerned about it. The food was still delicious it just wasn’t what I am used to. I’ve probably had this dish 10 or 12 times, and this is the very first time that it wasn’t the same. It’s no big deal but I thought I would add this so that management would know. I will definitely be back. In fact I’m going back before I leave Lexington this week. Hoping the glacé will be up to expectations then.
