"Sat at the bar on a busy day 7/30 at 1:00pm. The bartender was inattentive to patrons seated there ( or at least to me). He took orders from the couple to my right and the gentleman to my left. But never made eye contact with me even though trying to get his attention. It was not j til another server showed up behind the bar, and I asked him if I could place order with him. He was pleasant and said Of course. Orders an IPA and the smashed burger. Both were very good. The burger was cooked perfectly. Just wish the bartender at the bar was more attentive and a people person. This man had the worst personality for a Server I have ever seen"

"Claire C is absolutely adorable and oh so sweet. She has a gem personality that fits the neighborhood. The place got busy and she handled it with grace. She makes a killer spicy margarita!!! I did not eat here, I do not know about the food. There were a lot of fruit flys around my head, lol. Stopping into Magnolia added to my Haight Ashbury experience!"

"They had a soft opening last Thursday and we stopped by on Saturday. These are the same folks who own the Fly Bar and the Fish Bowl. It’s definitely an improvement from the last iteration of Magnolia. It’s more of a bar that serves light bites than a restaurant that is also a bar. They have 2 wines on tap (a rose and a white) and 2 bottles. The brewery is still underway so they have guest breweries. I love the new cocktail options. Started with the cucumber cooler which was a refreshing vodka drink. Tried the ring of fire which was a bit of spicier tequila cocktail that had a bit of kick. We split the po boy shrimp slider which was sooooo good. I texted a couple groups of friends and made plans before I left. Definitely coming back!"

"Smart restaurant with a good variety of beers (which you can taste in prior of ordering a pint) an a small but very good menu on dishes. Last but not least the service is great. Below the line we have enjoyed the stay."

"What happened to my old Magnolia. I know they have new owners, but the dip in every aspect of this place from service to atmosphere is too much. I have this place numerous chances after seeing the changes, but thee truly a god aweful place to spend your time in now. About one wait staff per 40 folks trying to order food. Last 3 times. And it’s like they don’t even care"
