    While the service and atmosphere were both that of a high end restaurant, both my appetizer and main were AWFUL.. The Caesar salad was extremely gritty. Either the lettuce was dirty/sandy or it picked up grit or char from the grill. My pricey ribeye was inedible. I sent it back for more fire because they didn’t cook it charred on the exterior as I ordered. It came back with such an excessive amount of Bernaise sauce smothered over the steak that it was more like a stew. And just like the romaine in our salad, each bite had a gritty texture. Maybe it was coffee grinds from the “coffee rub”? Either way it was bad. The fish appetizer and dessert cocktail were excellent! I so wanted to love this place! The hotel concept sounded awesome.

    Very cool design and ambiance. A little tight on space in small back room…means it can be very loud with other tables so close in a small room. Food was fantastic. Would go again.

    We’ve been to Maggie’s a couple times and it has yet to disappoint. The food is great the service is great and the feel is nice. It feels nice but doesn’t feel like you need to be dressed up or anything. It’s just a very pleasant place to eat.

    A small but well-built restaurant. During the busy season, I would recommend a reservation. The food was great and portion size appropriate. The customer service was top-notch.

    Long time local and can’t believe I haven’t tried this place till today. It was exceptional, the food, the service. We couldn’t decide on one thing so we ordered a few and they were delicious. Will be returning to try dinner soon.
