    The food is well executed, I like that it is not your "concrete floor, open space, loud noise" environment, the atmosphere is wonderful for a small gathering. I only wish they had greater selection for a vegetarian who does not like seafood.

    Great place to linger over dinner. They serve healthy, home cooked meals with outstanding sauces on their fish and meats. I love that I can bring my own wine.

    Wow, we had dinner at Café Magnolia for New Year’s Eve, and it was over the top. Fantastic! We were both raving about our meals. We will be back soon!

    Nice quaint place. Started with the crab dip, it was awful. It tasted terrible. Also had the clam chowder, it was delicious, the best I ever had. Ordered the scallops with Risotto, the scallops were cooked to perfection. My fiancé got the chicken Marsala, it was very good. Our server Jennifer was awesome!
