   Although the tables are very crammed in and it’s a small space we enjoyed the food. The lamb was the best I’ve had and the rest of the party enjoyed the short ribs and New York.

   One of my favorite restaurants in South Lake! Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. It’s San Francisco level quality.

   The special was pistachio crusted sea bass and a lemon aioli. The grilled veal chop with mushrooms and marsala demi was exceptional. Fried olives and the fried wild mushroom risotto appetizers were also great with their respective sauces.

   Lovely place, however wait until the outside opens. Too crowded, too much noise, no way for meaningful conversation. I’ll try it again when the outside opens.

    The food at Maggie’s is delicious. Perfect anniversary spot, great service, great cocktails. Only issue is entree prices are a bit hefty. $61 for a New York steak. Otherwise we love it!

    Only seven tables until outside area opens, at any rate. Glad that we followed reviews to try Maggie's. Food was very good and prepared more quickly than any other restaurant of this quality. What really stood out was the service. The staff were attentive without hovering, not easy in such a small environment! very professional and friendly. Definitely would return.

    Excellent food and service. We found the ambience lacking for what should be a fine dining experience, given the foregoing. Not recommended for those seeking a more romantic or intimate outing…has more casual feel. Great desserts- delicious and well proportioned! All things being equal we will visit again.

    Good cocktails, interesting menu with a tasty salad, but rare filet was overcooked and nothing else we ordered was worth getting again. Small space didn't feel intimate, it felt crowded. Really hoping for more from this place.

    Excellent brunch which is served from 9-3 pm. Lovely ambiance in a well-lit but tiny dining room (reservations recommended). There are two outside seating areas but those are not open in Winter. I had the very very tasty Maggie's Benedict which was done perfectly and served with a side of potatoes that were crispy and lightly coated with spices and parmesan cheese. The prices are reasonable and the value excellent—perhaps the best eggs benedict I have had in this town. The waitstaff is pleasant and very attentive. The chef and some of the staff have moved over from Edgewood which explains why the food is so good here. The only complaint I had was that the music was a little too loud for conversation and should have been turned down; we didn't ask but I have a feeling the staff would have accommodated us if we had.

    Maggie's is a rarity in South Lake, high quality food of the calibur more often found in the Bay Area or Wine Country. Service was friendly and good vegetarian options.

    Maggie's is a fantastic restaurant and never fails to deliver on great food and service. I really appreciate the friendly, hard-working, super-professional staff. Every menu item is really well-prepared, the bar knows what they are doing, and the wine list is diverse and reasonable.

    Let's start with the food - it was really amazing! The ambience of the main restaurant is nice, but quite small and crowded. We were brought to a separate area which was a glassed in porch with space heaters and another table with 2 kids. Although at first it felt odd like we were being shuffled to a separate area just because we had kids (who, btw, are better behaved at a restaurant than some adults!!!), it ended up being very nice to be in a private room with just one other group at a distant table. The kids menu was small and simple but okay, and their food was just as good as the adult's. The service wasn't amazing, but fine. Overall we'd definitely go back for the food alone!

    We made a reservation and arrived to a welcoming staff who were accommodating to wherever we wanted to sit and be comfortable. We opted to sit at the bar which had plenty of space and allows us to watch as the staff made some amazing cocktails. We started by ordering their two renditions of an old a fashioned and both were fantastic! Ordered the stuffed olives based on the recommendation and sooo happy we did. We ordered seabass and short ribs for entrees and again both were delicious! We will be retuning very soon!
