"The food was just average. The service was bad and they were not even busy. It took forever to get our drinks. Not all the food for our entire party came out at once. One person waited considerably longer while the others waited as their food got cold. Would not recommend or go back. Now I know why I was able to get a reservation for 5 people at the last minute on a Saturday night."

"I took some friends to Magnolia for a birthday dinner. True to yelp reviews, it's a veritable ghost town on saturday nights (supposedly it does major lunchtime business downtown). It was nice to have a quiet and pleasant dinner! I wouldn't say it was mind-blowing, but it was delicious overall. I was mostly bummed that when it came time for desserts there wasn't really a dessert menu ... they said they are in the middle of revamping it. But that's ok ... we will definitely return."

"Very close to Staples Center, and with us wearing our Kings jerseys, and a game at 7:30, our server could not be found to drop or pick up our check. Food was gastro-pub, and ambiance was lounge-y."

"While nice to have another casual, modern restaurant in downtown LA, this one needs a little more zip in its menu. Interior is a very nice setting and prices are fine so it just needs more attention to interesting items and preparations."

"After seeing the menu online, I was looking forward to an excellent meal in a beautiful dining room.

Upon arrival there was only one other table and they had finished eating. We ended up being the only guest at 8:00 on a Friday night. Kind of depressing.

I did like the "Crisp", one of their specialty cocktails.

We only ordered Mac&Cheese to start as we were told the other starters had been discontinued.

Entrees were good but nothing special. Burgers overcooked and dry.

We all wanted dessert but were told: "We've discontinued those." Very dissapointing and had they been good, may have changed my perception of the rest of the meal. Instead we were presented a check with a 20% gratuity added in and all left dissatisfied."

"I feel like the food went a little down hill. I've been to this location before as wells as the Hollywood Location a few times, and this time I wasn't impressed by the food."
