    What a lovely restaurant. Stopped off here for lunch after finishing a distillery tour. The restaurant has a great ambiance and the waiting staff were excellent. I had the special fried chicken sandwich with fries and my husband had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with Mac ‘n’ cheese. Both were delicious. We’ll certainly pay another visit.

    We’ve never been disappointed when dining at Malone’s Palomar. On busy Breeder’s Cup day, we had late afternoon reservations, and we were in and out in an hour because of adequate staffing. Our server, Caleb, was exceptional that evening.
