Diner Reviews
  • "We received surprise guests from out of town on a Saturday evening so we took them to Magnolias. Everyone had eaten dinner so we ordered appetizers and desserts. How do they make something as everyday as tomato soup so extraordinary? I don't know, but they did! And if you're feeling adventurous, order a Pink Squirrel from the bar. Delicious!"

  • "I rarely encounter a place that has some much going for it that is such a tremendous dissappointment. The Staff was friendly and professional. We ordered the Shrimp and Grits and the Paella. Food arrived and we dug in. We found that the grits on the shrimp and grits were barely room temp (they were getting that filmy covering) and the shrimp were almost raw. Grits tasted unremarkable. The Paella looked ok (plenty of sea food) some fish pieces were hard as super balls and others perfect and flakey. There was so much red pepper in the paella my ears started to burn. (Red pepper crushed what ever saffron was in the dish). Finished it off with the cookie and ice cream. Cookie dough was tan on top: rest was raw/ uncooked. Disappointing"

  • "Always enjoy Magnolia's and look forward to their special offerings. However, the pork tenderloin daily special fell short of their usual excellent track record. It was very bland and could have used some sauce to liven it up a bit. We also had the Flank Steak Ceasar Salad and as always, it was spot on! Service and overall ambiance was excellent and less than perfect entree will definitely not keep us from returning from our favorite Purcellville restaurant."

  • "This establishment is well staffed but stumbles on the food. Recommended appetizers like fried green tomatoes and spring rolls did not have a fresh taste. The Cajun style food was way too sweet. The plain burger was fine but the onion rings and fries were awful. All in all - nice staff but an awful attempt at cooking. Bar drunks are expensive and poorly executed. Diet Coke was flat."

  • " Food and Waitress were great. Dinner on our Anniversary was memorable."

  • "I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating my wife's birthday. They sat us early, and gave her a personalized menu with her name on it. At the end of dinner, they gave her a small assortment of truffles, and her menu rolled up with a bow. Wonderful experience, and we will go back again."

  • "We enjoyed everything we got at what the locals affectionately call "Maggie's". Our waiter was phenomenal and kept our drinks fresh and our starters and meals came so quickly. Everything was perfect save a few wilted leaves in my salad but they were not readily visible from the top of the plate. We would go back in an instant."

  • "Had the beef brisket and it was ok. Fiancee has the trout; it was ok. Good ambiance for a small town; but there are many other choices in NoVA which surpass this dining option. Will give it another try in the future when I'm in the area but I won't make the long drive to there purposely."

  • "This is an excellent restaurant, and I would make the drive for the burgers alone!"
    Dined on 7/6/2014
  • "Drove 2 hrs to this place and let me juat put it this way. The drive was worth it"
    Dined on 7/5/2014
  • "My only criticism is that there was an abundance of flies where we were sitting. We were in the enclosed room in the back and I kept seeing all these flies. The food and service were excellent so I don't want to give the review a negative spin."
    Dined on 7/5/2014
  • "We're regulars at Magnolias and the experience is usually exceptional. However, maybe it was because it was Independence Day we felt the service was too rushed. We hadn't even finished our salads and the main course was being hustled in, and later our coffee order was forgotten until it was almost too late. But like I said, maybe it was because it seemed like the last sitting of the day and everyone was in a hurry to shut the place down and the restaurant was almost empty."
    Dined on 7/4/2014
  • "The trout was excellent although adding a salt water topper like crab was a bit strange. The tastes are quite different. The service was great but be prepared to wait for items such as freshly prepared trout. The building and atmosphere was classic and warm because of the architecture and mill feel. It reminded me of the mill I once explored when I was a child. The only thing I would change is the lighting and seating. The lighting was quite modern and did not fit the theme, and the chairs looked like a cheap addition to such an expensive structure. Overall, I give it a four out of five stars."

  • "We had our 6 year wedding anniversary dinner here and it was absolutely wonderful! The food tasted delicious. I loved the wine and beer selection here. Great place to eat at!"

  • "This was our first visit and we were impressed. Food was great; service prompt, friendly and helpful, and ambiance outstanding. A couple points off because we were not offered bread, and, for an upscale restaurant, I was surprised to be asked to hold on to my fork when the salad was removed."
    Dined on 6/28/2014
  • "Signature Fried Green Tomatoes were good, but hadn't been blotted appropriately. Cobb salad was ho hum. Too much romaine, chop too large, local greens MIA. Dressing was nothing special. Local, fresh berry crisp was too syrupy, but Lemon sherbet was quite good. Berries would have been great without the crisp and added sugary syrup."

  • "We stopped by Magnoia's about 4 years ago on a whim. What a find! Since then we have had them cater Thanksgiving when we were remodeling; host my wife's law firm's Christmas Dinner; and had several me and my wife dinners. This last time was for our 39th. I had Magnolia's arrange to get a dozen roses. The menu was great and even personlaized for us. Hard to beat anywhere in the area."

  • "I took my wife here for anniversary dinner and was enjoyable. Service was good and restaurant setting was excellent in historic area of a small town."

  • "Always good, always happy! IN western Loudoun, this restaurant is always consistent in service and quality. I never question eating at this establishment."
    Dined on 6/16/2014
  • "Salads were good. Crab imperial was so salty difficult to eat. Rhubarb pie was very good but difficult to find ice cream. Blueberry cheesecake was okay (watery - must have been frozen). Most Menu items were too complex - it would have been nice to have some simply grilled fish with sides."
    Dined on 6/15/2014
  • "We enjoyed our meal and service. It was an excellent way to end an afternoon of wine touring in Loudoun."
    Dined on 6/15/2014
  • "I was there at 12:30, so there were quite a number of families. The restaurant never felt overly-full. The food was replenished frequently and was delicious. There was a good array of breakfast and lunch items. The desserts were delicious. In my opinion, desserts are tricky because they can dry out, but that was not the case here. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating."
    Dined on 6/15/2014
  • "We enjoyed a great dinner, wonderful service and will go back anytime. Although this is a casual atmosphere restaurant, there is nothing casual about the food! A wonderful variety of appetizers and seasonal specials."

  • "I took my parents here for Fathers Day (Saturday night) and they loved it. My parents have dined at places all over in their 50 years of marriage and my father said it was one of the best! My wife and I always enjoy the mill."

  • "We had spent afternoon at bluemont vineyard and wanted a place for dinner that would have good food and winery staff recommended this spot..we are from northern va near fairfax so this was not our normally area for dining.. Food terrific.. Some unusual dishes but each one was flavorful.. Even being an hour drive from home.. Might travel here just to fine! Traffic from no va a pain but it is a delightful spot"

  • "Very nice establishment. I wish I would have known of the outdoor seating option, and I would have made my reservation for there. Inside was a little dimly lit, but very nice. Server was very attentive and food was excellent (Bucatini Bolognese and Veggie Stir Fry)."

  • "The entire experience was wonderful. We split the crab tower (delicious!), then our entrées were the truffle burger and the fish tacos (both very tasty as well). Knowing it was my birthday, they had printed a special 'Happy Birthday' page for the menu they gave me which was a wonderful touch. We would go back in a heartbeat!"

  • "My husband and I were away for the weekend and had lunch at Magnolias. It was so good that we went back for dinner the next night and lunch outside the following day. Wonderful!"
    Dined on 6/13/2014
  • "We were seated promptly upon our arrival. Our server knew the menu and the specials well, and was both friendly and efficiently. There was a good variety in the menu offerings. The food presentation was very nice. Ingredients were fresh and the meals ample and delicious. The setting is very nice. The décor and building construction ( in an old mill) was interesting.Noise level was a little high, but not unusually so. I did appreciate that most of the diners dressed up a little and appreciated the occasion. I would definitely recommend to others and would return for a special occasion. I found the experience to be somewhat unique and it was nice not to just be in another chain establishment. I also appreciated that local wines were offered."

  • "Last week we joined another couple for dinner at Mgnolias at the mill. All four dinners were delicious. The service was spot on! Beautiful interior design coupled with prompt seating at exactly the time our reservation was made for 8:30 PM made it a wonderful experience. We will be back soon. Two big forks UP. "

  • "Sat out on the porch that over looks the patio. Just beautiful. Spinach frittata cooked to perfection with fresh greens and feta. Fresh peaches are used in the Bellini's, a must try. The tomato and smoked gouda soup was delicious. Our server was knowledgeable, offered suggestions, and provided swift and efficient service. This was our second visit and will return often."
