    We ordered our full meal so that the table could be properly timed and when we finally go a morsel of food it was decent but at that point we were so hungry we could eat our napkins Overall disappointed and would not recommend - especially if you are diabetic. We didn't get our appetizer until 40 min after ordering and two hours later we still did not have an entree. At this point we had to leave as my insulin was in full effect and needed to find an emergency chocolate bar. We left cash on the table for our wine and appetizer but sadly never had a meal. Huge waste of time on our date night

    The food was great but it took a long time to get it. They did apologize. The ambience was good. We enjoy the downstairs bar area even with a group of friends although the back door opening and closing all night for smokers left the place very draughty at times. I would advice dressing warmly if downstairs.

    I have eaten at M&S on several occasions. The service has always been timely and very friendly. Last night our entree order took an exceptionally long time to be served. The "Burger Challenge" option sounded great but when it arrived was somewhat disappointing. Overcooked and dry.

    Lovely experience. Hadn’t been in years but it won’t be years before I’m back again. Great menu plus additions. Happy hour actually at a reasonable time and on weekend! Food was great Tenderloin and lamb. Those fish soup was excellent. Wine list options were nice too. Nothing but good to say.

    Great experience overall with servers and food provided. Adjacent guests were a little close and obnoxious which spoiled our experience this time but was not at fault of restaurant itself. I’ve been here many times now and love the service and food provided. I wouldn’t definitely go here again for quick bites, business or special occasion.

    Back in the day, at the original location, Magnum and Stein’s use to be one of my favorite restaurants in the city (2009-2012). Sadly, that is no longer the case. In 2012, I celebrated my birthday with them and it was terrible so I haven’t went back until this past weekend (11 years later), mostly because I was given a gift certificate and figured why not give them another chance. You know the saying, “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me….”. While I gave Magnum’s the benefit of the doubt, shame on me for going back and bringing guests. Do yourself a favor and make reservations elsewhere.

    Had to ask for water at least 4 times. Duck nachos were amazing and loved the happy hour drinks. Our server was really nice but too busy we sat and sat with empty glasses for too long. Lamb was so overdone it was tough. My first time there 🙁 Really wanted dessert but took too long.

    It was a cold night out and cold inside during dinner. I understand that was probably an unfortunate thing at the time. Not much anyone could do . Our waiter was fabulous. The 2 fish dishes weren’t great seemed like it was precooked . Everything else was great !

    The food was excellent, we ordered the duck nachos, steak and house pasta. Everything was delicious but a little over priced for what it was. The restaurant itself was not as nice as we were expecting and despite there only being two couples in the whole place we were seated right next to each other? It made having a conversation very awkward as there was very little other noise. I’m not sure if this is a restaurant routine or if the waiter was trying to save himself a few steps but it really ruined the overall experience. Overall, would come back during happy hour for the nachos and other apps, but the entrees weren’t worth the hype.

    As usual the service was great and the duck confit nachos were a hit as well as other appetizers we had...it was very cold there this time but we arrived just when they opened and it was one of the coldest days yet in regards to wind...it seemed nobody could keep the heat in their houses so I'm assuming it was cold at the restaurant for the same reason...overall everything was great and we enjoyed our evening

    I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now because it had such a great reputation. The experience was unfortunately quite disappointing. The waiter was friendly but not overly attentive. The food was bland and overcooked.
