   Our server Anna was by far one of the best I've ever encountered. Personable and very knowledgeable about the food, their ingredients, dish composition. It made for an even better dining experience. I will definitely be back.

   Food was mediocre, definitely not worth the price point. Steak and broccoli were way overcooked. Beans were nothing special despite how much they were hyped. Ambiance is outdated. Service was great and server was very knowledgeable. Free valet was a nice convenience. If I am going to spend that kind of money, I will go somewhere else.

   Food was tasty. However, my guests and I were seated in the wine cellar which during the winter was similar to sitting outside in the cold. After complaining was told the restaurant was full capacity and we couldn’t be relocated to a warmer section of the restaurant.

   We had a terrific dinner at Magdalena. The lobster bisque and foie gras were delicious, as was the risotto and duck breast. Great service, excellent cocktails and a beautiful setting. I would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

   Our server “R” did a fantastic job! He was attentive without being overbearing and made two quality wine recommendations. My wife and I splurged for Valentine’s Day and got the foie gras…we both recommend you do the same. Additionally the bartender “S” takes her craft seriously and provided several outstanding pre-dinner drinks as well as some ingredient knowledge. Who knew that sweet vermouth should be refrigerated? The only downside was that the entres were not very hot when they came out and the ravioli portion was a bit sparse.

   Everything was great. It was Valentines Day. The valet service was perfect. The hostess's welcomed us and took our coats, they were both cheery and polite. We were seated right away. Our server was Randall, first off, he has a great personality and man he knows his wine! Outstanding recommendation.....one of the best waiters we have ever worked with. The fresh focaccia was warm, and the sweet potato butter worked well with it. We split the beet salad, which was outstanding. The Swordfish was perfectly cooked, and the presentation was charming. The goat cheese ravioli was over the top good, nice and creamy but not over seasoned. My compliments to the Chef. We ordered the chocolate souffle as dessert (which you have order when you order dinner, it takes to make it from scratch), it will not disappoint...its paired with a raspberry sorbet. Great combination. Ask for Randall when you make your reservations. He's a really cool guy. The atmosphere was nice a welcoming, light jazz music playing in the background. The place was clean, neat and squared away. I thank everyone there for a wonderful evening.

   Service was slow. Ordered cocktails and took 30 minutes to get them. Appetizers arrived before cocktails. Would not go back.

    Great seasonal choices. The oysters, charred beets, forest mushrooms, lamb, bannoffee were all excellent.
