I recently dined at Magnolia Grille after hearing all the hype about the food and ambience. \r
The restaurant is nothing like I imagined. While the flower arrangements were beautiful, the restaurant itself was nothing special in decor. Plain walls with a few photographs and basic white linen tablecloth on the tables. The tables were way too cramped together so you were too close to other people's tables. The restaurant was small and too loud. The food was way too expensive and overrated. I had tiny slice of tuna which was not done and a basic veggie chutney and I couldn't tell what veggies were in it because they were so tiny. I had a summer salad which was just a bed of mixed organic greens with about 5 tiny pecans and balsamic dressing. My husband had the salmon which was a tiny slice of fish and another veggie chutney. Nothing to rave about. I had the apricot sorbet dessert and it was basically two wafer cookies with a spoonful of apricot sorbet. Very disappointed with the entire meal. And they charged $10.00 for a chardonnay, basic white house wine which I thought was a huge ripoff. The service was incredibly slow. I was starving when I left and the meal cost $100.00!\r

Just another overrated yuppie restaurant.
Pros: flowers were nice
Cons: everything else
