    Service was initially slow, food took a very long time (we had burgers); waitress was very nice though and we were comped dessert (we had not complained or said anything) our waitress just told us, so that was very nice.

    Something has changed since our last visit…we used to love this place for special occasions. We spent well over $500 for 5 people and felt very underwhelmed after the meal. Hopefully next visit will be more like we have enjoyed before.

    We went here for the first time for our Anniversary and we were so pleasantly surprised. Ever since covid, dining experience at many places have gone downhill but this place is a diamond in the rough! We were wished a happy anniversary by many of the staff, we had personalized menus that wished us a happy anniversary as well. Our waitress was very attentive kind and accommodating. Everything we asked her for, she brought to us very promptly without us needing to ask multiple times or remind her. The food was absolutely amazing as well. This was quite literally the perfect ending to our anniversary and we were both very happy and impressed. We’ve agreed we will be coming back here more often for date night dinners. 1000/10 recommend

    We were seated in the back room instead of the main area that has the quaint ambiance i come for. We had a reservation and the restaurant was not too busy as it was a Sunday evening. Everything was pretty nice and our waitress was great. The ceviche was not done properly and we got a little sick from it. Otherwise, the entrees & desert, and our server was great.

    It was a great dinner from drinks to apps to entrees to dessert! We were there for a 60th bday celebration, and the special “60th” menu was an added special touch, our server Lex was very sweet, efficient, attentive, and nice! She even gave the special menu as a scroll to me w/HBday ribbon ☺️ We always have fantastic meals there and enjoy the rustic ambience feel of this treasure of a restaurant, highly recommend Magnolias at the mill! 👍🏼💝🌟

    Ordered the nightly special- prime rib with Brussel sprouts and whipped potatoes. Huge portions all the way around and cooked perfectly to perfection. The other entree was the veal scallopini. Again an excellent dish perfectly prepared. The ricotta donuts were so fresh they were hot and incredible. The crème brûlée was amazing. I felt it was an excellent meal and incredible size and quality in cost comparison. Our waitress could not have been better either. Perfect first experience. Can not wait to go back.

    We had an early birthday dinner for four in the upstairs dining room. The room, table and ambience were very nice. Server was exceptional, being very attentive and accommodating while never rushing us. All our meals (appetizers , entrees and dessert) were beautifully prepared and presented. Everyone agreed their meals were delicious. The only “comment” was that two of the four entrees were not quite as warm as we would have preferred. In summary, it was a thoroughly delightful and memorable dinner, and we shall certainly return!

    I gave them a Very Good on Food just because I didn't care for the cherry sauce that the risotto was made with. Other than that, the food was excellent. It was our first time here (now that we've moved into town) and it will not be our last. My wife had the Salmon Oscar and I had the Duck Beast.

    We moved to the area recently and have been wanting to check them out, super glad we did! Such a great experience. Our waiter, Matt, was fantastic, offered great recommendations, made sure we had everything we needed, and keyed into how to give us the best experience possible. As for the food, just wow, I was hoping for a good meal but they exceeded all expectations! We'll definitely be back!

    I went for Valentine’s Day, and our reservation was for 8:30 PM. The service was very slow. We were not drinking and we’re there until 10:15 PM. The food was good, but was not on par with the pricing (e.g. $125 for the lamb or steak). The ambiance was odd. We were upstairs overlooking the bar, which had a few TVs with basketball games. There are better options available with better ambiance and value.

    Most of the menu was excellent and excitingly different. I particularly loved the tempura lobster. Our companions loved the squash soup and the crab cake with an amazing sauce. We chose badly for the entree and had a fatty, tough piece of meat, which was such a let down after the opening courses. I would suggest they eliminate the heavy tough third course in the future.

    Our bill was almost $300 for two people without drinks on Valentine's Day. The cost of the normal menu is fine but they gouge you on VD. If I would have known this we would have gone elsewhere.

    A bit disappointed, service was minimal, food was decent, and price was high, the restaurant was quiet though, sat in a small back from room with only a few other tables, not a lot of noise from the bar due to the distance and separation. Competently cooked prime rib, the slice was delivered as ordered so that's good. Very generous portions as well. Green beans were well cooked. Their vegetarian option, a cauliflower steak, was a thinly sliced piece of cauliflower with almost no discernable flavoring. The cauliflower was almost raw with a lot of black char marks on the outside. Desert was what I would expect from a golden corral, cake cut from a pan, two dry cookies jammed in with cold cherries jubilee that tasted like they were from a large jar bought from Sysco.

    Been here several times prices usually a little higher than most but ok. Valentine’s Day a little much $100 to $125 for most entree’s and a little over the top. Food not worth the ridiculous prices. However, server was fantastic. Will pass in the future for any holiday, etc.

    We dined for St Valentine Day. Magnolias is one of our favorites. Only comment would be to make the lighting a little brighter. We frequent Magnolias on a regular customer. Lighting always seems to be our negative. Pen lights could be offered to diners
