   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 Ambiance is outdated.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.

   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.

    Service was excellent. Ambiance fair as we were seated in the bar area which was tight and somewhat noisy. Three of us thought our entrees were excellent; the fourth was a pescatarian who had only one option, a curry risotto. Fresh swordfish was on the menu when we checked on line in advance, but not available in person. The sides were laughingly small—not worth the price. Overall a pleasant experience but I would not go back. Very pricey given all the shortcomings.
