We started with the beef meatballs, Brussels sprouts with honey sriracha and shaved Parmesan, and the Sobo crab dip. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the dishes came out incredibly fast and perfectly presented. We all loved them! For our entrées, we had the shrimp tikka masala with naan and rice, chicken pot pie, quinoa salad with salmon, and, of course, the crab cake. The chicken pot pie was one of the best I've ever had. The crab cake was outstanding--true jumbo lump crab meat with no unnecessary breadcrumbs. Wow! It was exactly what a great crab cake should be. The coleslaw and oven-roasted potatoes were also excellent. We finished with tiramisu and a vegan chia seed pudding cake, and both desserts were fantastic. Overall, this was honestly one of the best dinners we've had in a long time. The food was fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared, and came out quickly. It was great to see Sobo under the new ownership, and we were extremely impressed. We'll definitely be coming back!

Even though we had made a reservation, there wasn't a hostess to greet us and confirm it once we arrived. Elias came from behind the bar, cleared a table, and seated us. The drinks were spirit forward which we both love and balanced. I didn't look at the menu beforehand so I just assumed bar fare. Was surprised to find crabcakes and salmon on the menu. Both were yummy but the brussel sprouts stole the show!

Magdalena offers a dining experience that feels refined and comforting. It's a challenging balance…read moreto strike and one I am keenly attuned to. Set within The Ivy Hotel, the space carries a quiet elegance that immediately sets the tone. Rich textures, warm lighting, and a sense of history create an atmosphere that feels intimate and composed. What stands out first is the hospitality. The service is gracious, attentive, and welcoming. The menu reflects a similar sensibility: seasonal, sustainable, and thoughtfully sourced, with a clear emphasis on freshness and organic ingredients. Each dish feels grounded and intentional, with flavors that are satisfying and not pretentious. There's a clear awareness of how the experience engages all five senses, from presentation to aroma to texture, which elevates the meal beyond just taste. The cocktail program mirrors this approach. The list is seasonal and frequently evolving, offering creative, ingredient-driven drinks that feel just as considered as the food. I had the Aspen Fir which was distinctive, refreshing, and unlike anything I've had before. It was a perfect example of how thoughtfully they approach even the smallest details. There's a steadiness to Magdalena that's easy to appreciate. It doesn't chase trends or try to impress through excess yet instead, it delivers a consistently beautiful experience rooted in quality, warmth, and attention to detail. It's the kind of place you leave feeling both well taken care of and quietly impressed.

While the line was long, I got there about 15 minutes before they opened and it was perfect. I love that the menu changes all the time, but was specifically excited about the "sticky situation" cocktail. Wow! It was amazing. Definitely sweet but such a fun, yummy drink. My table neighbors raved about the matcha cocktail and the caesar salad martini. Will have to try those next. And, I will have to go back on a Thursday and get the burger. The steak frites (Wednesday special) was amazing. The summer salad (locally sourced and grown ingredients) was the perfect start to the meal, as well as the sourdough bread they gave us. The lobster mac and cheese are an incredible dish to have with our steak. It was truly the perfect meal. The restaurant is slow, especially the service and the bar, but it is all worth the wait and worth the trip for dinner!

It's more popular during the week but nicely filled whenever you go. I like to walk into the hotel lobby then through their awesome hallway to the front desk. Every table is wonderful but towards the back by the window near sundown is my favorite. Service is impeccable, professional and with great suggestions. I love that they clear the crumbs and baby wipe before desert. They did it unobtrusively. Food is great but I wish they had lighter fare options. I love the Cesar salad but needs much less dressing. Just a light mix would be great. Hush puppies were a great hit.

Since it was New Year's eve, there were few patrons or maybe this is the usual scene? Don't know. But there are some comfy couches by the front in which a young couple with a baby was nursing. Another couple was just finishing up dinner and started to head out. We were the only two diners for about 20 minutes before another couple came in for dinner. There were also about two or three people at the bar. So basically a very quiet place. No one at the hostess stand, only a woman at the bar. She eventually sat us and took our order. Things were slow but not so slow that I would complain. I would surmise that most of the staff was off that evening. Food was also slow in coming so there might have been a small crew in the kitchen as well. We ordered the mezze appetizer. Nothing to rave about. It was just a plate with vegetables and hummus. We both got the wagyu burger and fries. The whole meal was quite decent. The meat was cooked to the correct temperature and the fries were crispy. It was quite filling for me. Maybe it was NYE but everything was quiet and nice.

The first time I recall having a shrimp salad sandwich which was the special of the day served with fries and it was a good portion. The second time around I got the cheese steak with whiz and I wasn't as big a fan of this. I actually ended up switching with my bf who got a tuna salad which tasted fresh and had bits of candied pecans which offset the pepperiness of the tuna crust. Service is always fast and friendly- a good neighborhood place to stop in for drinks and tavern ish fare. More a 3.5 than a 3. (Wish Yelp would implement half stars :/)
