We were there with a large party, and the service was friendly, efficient, and impressively quick. I started with my favorite drink--a dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives--and it was perfect. We also ordered the shrimp scampi flatbread to share, and it was absolutely delicious with great flavor. For my entrée, I had the short rib, which was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and not overly salty. In fact, that was something our entire table commented on. Everything was well-seasoned without being too salty, and everyone in our group was very impressed with their meals. The only downside was parking. It was a bit difficult to find a spot, but there appeared to be a private party or event going on, so that likely contributed to the crowded lot. Overall, Nosh delivered excellent food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it.

The drinks were good, and the salmon was delicious definitely the highlight of the meal! The buffalo chicken egg rolls were just okay for me, but they didn't take away from the overall experience. Our waitress was extremely friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. The ambiance had a cozy, romantic vibe, making it a nice spot for a date night or a relaxed evening out. We spent about $120 for two drinks, an appetizer, and an entrée, which felt reasonable for the overall experience. I'd definitely return for the salmon and the great service.

They were able to make me a new dish and put the spice in a separate bowl. This is the way to go going forward. My daughter enjoyed her penne with marinara and my husband emptied his dish.

For dinner, we each had the lemon fettuccine with shrimp and thinly sliced asparagus which was a great choice for a lighter & fresh dinner option. Now let's get to the dessert, the flourless chocolate cake. All I can say is WOW! Hands down the best. This Chocolate was absolutely delicious moist, hot, decadent chocolate with pistachio sauce drizzled plate. OMG. The waitress Kelly did not steer us wrong everything we asked she was correct about. Her energy and attentiveness was off the chart. Thanks for a wonderful dinner experience in your new restaurant. We will definitely be back soon.

She was friendly, brought the menus, and got our drinks started. They also have daily specials throughout the week. I ordered the Meatball Monday spaghetti special, which came with garlic bread and a side salad for one price. To finish the meal, I had the tiramisu. The spaghetti was flavorful, and the tiramisu was light, fluffy, and a great way to end the meal. The service was good, the food was satisfying, and I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

The restaurant was clean and really beautiful inside. The bar was hopping also if you like to sit at the bar instead of at a table! My husband and I decided we will be returning ASAP!

The decor as you enter is super cute and continues throughout the entire restaurant. They have a bar, a couple tables outside on Main Street and many different types of seating in the dining room. We were there on. Friday around 4pm and there was plenty of seating. Our server was quick attentive and friendly. She was also very knowledgeable and even provided recommendations. The food came out quick and was hot. One of the meals we ordered to split and they served us with it already split on 2 separate plates. They had a creative drink menu and had many creative food options. As I'm not a huge fan or red sauce, I was happy to see that I could get any of their meals with the vodka sauce. The fried gnocchi with the truffle sauce was so good we will definitely be back again. The chicken had a light breading that didn't take away from the taste of the meal. There is street parking and a shared lot in the back. It was a wonderful experience and meal and we will be back soon!

Magnolias is a very cool spot with a lot to offer. In addition to a great restaurant and bar area,…read morethey have a spacious outdoor courtyard that gives the place a unique atmosphere. Whether you're looking to grab a drink, share some appetizers, or sit down for dinner, it's a great setting. I visited last week with my family, and the appetizers were definitely the highlight of the meal. We ordered the Magnolia Flatbread, Burrata, and Baked Clams. The flatbread is an absolute must-order, it was outstanding and easily the favorite dish of the night. The burrata and baked clams were also very good. For our entrees, my dad and I both ordered burgers. While they were flavorful, they were unfortunately overcooked. I ordered mine medium and my dad ordered medium-rare, but neither burger had any pink in the center. My wife ordered the Tuna Sliders from the appetizer menu and they weren't what she expected; she said she wouldn't order them again. My mother enjoyed the French Dip and thought it was very good from what I tried. Magnolias serves "cottage fries" instead of traditional French fries. They're essentially thick-cut fried potato slices--more like a hearty potato chip. While it's an interesting twist, I'm a French fry person and personally prefer traditional fries. My wife and I both ordered the truffle cottage fries, and they came out quite soggy, likely from sitting in too much oil. We mentioned it to our waitress, who agreed after seeing them and kindly removed them from the bill. Overall, Magnolias has a great atmosphere, excellent appetizers, and a unique setting that makes it worth visiting. While there were a few issues with some of our entrees and sides, I'd definitely return, especially for drinks and appetizers in the courtyard.

Both were excellent. I'm glad my cousin doesn't have my appetite because I sure finished more than my portion of that creamed spinach. It may have been the best I ever had.

What a bummer !!!…read more Before writing this review, I made sure to come back several times, on Friday nights, to see if my experience was just a one-off. Unfortunately, things have definitely changed. The vibe that once made this place special just isn't there anymore. On a Friday night, the atmosphere feels flat, and even the lighting could use some work (Too Bright) it would benefit from being dimmed to create a more inviting and energetic setting. The staff doesn't seem as engaged as they once were, and sadly, the food isn't hitting the same either. The biggest disappointment, however, has been the music. The DJs don't seem to know how to read the crowd. When most of the room is sitting down and barely even bobbing their heads, it's probably time to switch things up and get some energy flowing. The one bright spot is Mike behind the bar. He's still on point, keeps the drinks coming, and provides the level of service that keeps customers happy. I truly enjoyed this place in the past, which makes it even more disappointing to see it heading in this direction. I'm hoping management takes notice and brings back the atmosphere that made people want to keep coming back.

Ambiance of the old converted bank is beautiful (my mom got her first bank account here). However,…read morethey overcrowd the space with many tables; taking away the intimacy on a busy night when you're elbow to elbow with the people next to you! It's often loud due to over-crowding! The service is impeccable and for the cost per dish the wait staff really is top notch. The food is delicious! I did not enjoy the bacon because I thought it would be thick slabs but it was one very thick piece, more like prosciutto. Colossal crab meat app (MP), 1/2 dozen BP oysters ($18) and Caesar salad ($18) were very fresh! 5/5 duck fat French fries ($10) .Whipped potato, creamed spinach and 5 cheese Mac sides ($16/each) are served à la carte,and delicious!

I wanted to give 4 and a half stars but couldn't…read more This spot was a recommendation from a vendor, who took co-workers there for lunch. I called 2 days in advance to see if it was possible to get a table for 3 on a Saturday night for a 50th birthday dinner. I knew the chances were slim but I had to try. The girl who answered the phone (Amy), said they had seating on Friday night, Saturday was booked. So I took the reservation, not knowing much about the place. After reading reviews in different places, I had learned that they have a DJ on Friday nights. I was looking for a quieter type of dinner so I called back to inquire. The 2nd person (Evelyn) confirmed that they have a DJ that usually starts at 730pm on Friday nights. After a short chat, she changed my reservation to an earlier time so we could enjoy our meal without feeling like we're in the club! ;-) Both gals were patient and kind with our first timer questions. We arrived a little earlier than our reserved time (close to 6pm) and the parking lot had lots of open spaces. We parked and we were greeted by a nice woman who looked happy that we arrived early. We had planned to sit and wait, being that it was a Friday. But we were led to a table right away by a gentleman who looked to be a manager? He didn't say anything but we later saw him walking the room delegating, so to speak. Our 4 seater table was smack dab in the middle of a huge, high ceiling, open concept room that was filled with very long banquet tables. Each table was set for what looked like celebrations. There were a few other smaller tables. Parties were happening at some of the long tables and some of the smaller tables were filled with families that had kids. It was a bit loud but tolerable. We could hear one another speak just fine. Our waitress Alisha came over after a bit to greet us. She took drink orders as we explained it was out 1st time there and we were celebrating a 50th birthday. She was very busy handling one of the larger tables next to us, but we were never ignored. On the table was an open glass bottle of filtered water that was not very chilled. We poured ourselves and it was refilled without us asking by runners. Also on the table was seasoned olive oil for dipping bread. I didn't like that it was already there when we sat down, exposed to the air for who knows how long. But.....all was forgiven when the basket of warm bread came out. It was some of THE best table bread I have ever had. Alisha said it was their pizza dough. I could have eaten that all night and been satisfied. We had to stop ourselves! We each looked over the menu for a bit and ordered just entrees because of the bread! - One order of Ossobuco off the specials menu that came with paparadelle in a brown gravy like sauce. - One order of Filet of Sole Oreganata & Shrimp over sautéed spinach off the regular menu. (Both entrees came with a salad, choice of garden or caesar. The garden salad comes already mixed in their dressing. I ordered the dressing on the side. Good size, spring mix, very fresh). - The tweenager ordered mozzarella sticks appetizer as their dinner. It took a little bit for the food to come out but we were happy about that. We got to admire the greatness of the room. The huge photos on the wall, the birthday celebrations, the food coming and going (including massive amounts of take out orders). It was a well oiled machine and we enjoyed watching it all transpire. The birthday acknowledgement is a thing in itself. We had NO idea but it was all about to go down for us the same way after we ate! First a super loud speaker blasts a birthday song, then the other people dining in the restaurant stop what they're doing and start spinning their napkins in the air, while the wait staff brings over a dessert with a big flaming sparkler in it. How embarrassingly awesome! Which brings us to the dessert. A mint tartufo (Amazing). Also ordered to go, was a tiramisu (it was "ok"). No desserts made in house. By the time we got up to leave, the place was packed and the bar was full. As was the parking lot. Side note: due to Mother's Day being the week before, there was a schedule change and there was no DJ. Food = 4 stars. Piping hot and fresh but no wow factor with flavors. (Except for that bread!) Service = 5 stars Experience/Ambiance = 5 stars Points off for the parking lot being full of huge pot holes. I'm sure that could be fixed with the revenue being brought in. Water was warm-ish, apple juice was over iced and watered down, and bread dipping olive oil was out on the table before we sat down. We had no idea this was a chain of restaurants with other locations! All in all, we look forward to going back again and trying more food!
