   Very good ambiance, service, but subpar food. Good plating but “ok” flavor

   Would like to see Baked Potato as an option for Mashed Potato rather than being a side dish!!!

   Service and cocktails were excellent. Lynn was wonderful!! The music and ambiance was a nice change. Unfortunately we were not impressed with the food. Other than decent portion sizes, everything that came out was cold and lacked flavor. Also, the mashed potatoes tasted like straight sugar, we did not try the steaks, but felt that the food overall was not memorable.

   Everything was outstanding for me and my family of four with all our busy schedules it was great getting together for a nice evening together.I only gave service a 3 star because our waiter was an older gentleman that was extremely unpleasant and at times very rude!! He should not be a waiter because unfortunately he kills the vibe and is super dry like he’s miserable. The hostess and neighboring waitresses were all super friendly and always smiling. We were celebrating a birthday which is obvious because they have balloon arrangement at the table so the waitresses when walking by asked whose birthday is it and wished my son a happy birthday whereas our waiter never acknowledged it. Despite this we made the best of our time and otherwise enjoyed everything else the restaurant has to offer!! Great food, ambience, and entertainment!!

   We’ve eaten at this place before the closure and it was amazing eat time. Since the reopening we were excited to come back and enjoy one of our favorite places. What a disappointment. Service was amazing. Food on the other hand was beyond less than par. Lobster Mac n cheese was tasteless, French onion soup is bland and missing key ingredients. Garlic mashed potatoes had lil to no seasoning. Only thing was great was the filet and prime rib. Had a mai tai and it tasted like syrup. Extremely disappointing when our bill was $300+ for food. Won’t be going back.

   The Magic Lamp is truly Magical! It’s like walking into a well preserved gem. Every detail of this place is preserved and beautiful! We ordered old fashions and they were nice n strong. Only small detail about the drink menu was that I wished there was more details about the drinks. We had the filet mignon and Chilean Sea bass. Both delicious and the  chilean Seabass was a generous portion.  We were celebrating an anniversary. I wasn’t too fond of the balloons on the table. We asked the server to remove them. Honestly they’re kinda tacky. Maybe a nice card from the restaurant with well wishes would be a nice touch.
