    We had an excellent time for our family Easter meal. Service was great and the staff met our needs. We did not feel rushed nor did we feel that they needed our table. Drinks, meals and desserts served at a great pace. Thanks!

    Our experience at Malone’s Palomar was amazing. Elite food, elite service, good cocktails, steak was unreal, and fantastic dessert. Can’t ask for much more. Our waitress, Asha, went above and beyond. She knew how to provide top tier service.

    Seemed like a great steakhouse - busy and nice ambiance. Food was sub-par and overpriced. Underwhelming.

    Service is always great. Coffee delicious generous portions but the quiche was way too salty I couldn’t eat it. The bacon my husband ordered was thick and fatty. Perhaps had we ordered other things we could have rated them higher but I would say for brunch they need to make better options maybe. Fruit was really nice
