Magnolia's Lounge - Seattle

This is our neighboring restaurant, now under new management. They have introduced a selection of popular dishes and added some Indian options that we adore. The service was excellent, and it was enjoyable to sample some of the new offerings on the menu. We look forward to trying more of the new dishes again.

Great service, great location, wonderful food! highly recommended.

The food was excellent. It's on the pricey side, so I see it as a place to celebrate special occasions. The service was impeccable; our server, Brian, was very friendly and provided great suggestions for things to do while in Charleston.

This restaurant has changed ownership several times in recent years. It used to be Szmania's, a well-known establishment in Magnolia Village. While the overall ambiance and menu remain largely the same, I noticed the addition of some delightful Indian dishes. However, the most significant change during my visit was the service. Despite the restaurant not being very busy, our food took nearly 45 minutes to arrive. Szmania's was famous for its outstanding service, which, along with the food, made the higher prices worth it. If Magnolia's Restaurant Lounge wants to succeed in the long run, they will need to improve their service.

Can’t say I’ll be heading back here anytime soon. Everything about this dining experience seemed off. The bread was a bit stale. Cobb salad was a somewhat wilted and the cheese on it was bland. The butter chicken was okay but the vegetables were over cooked. There were no outstanding flavors. The waitress was nice enough. The menus seemed well worn as did the check presenter. Both were greasy. Maybe we came on a bad night. There were only four other tables seated and if they want more, they will need to up their game.
