We went to Magnolia Bar and Grill for a going away celebration for a friend. This was our first time going there. The wait was horrible. We waited nearly an hour for our food. One lady at our table ordered a salad, and it still took her an hour to get her salad. She asked for some extra vinagrette, but she never got it. My drink was seldom filled. All in all, the service was terrible. The waiters were not polite or courteous. Yet, the prices were a little pricy. I certainly would not recommend this place for a friend. However, this place does have potential. I hope the owners will invest in a better staff.

A friend and I went to Sunday brunch at Magnolia pretty early--around 10:45. I don't like that it's outside the loop, but I definitely think it's worth the trip. It wasn't crowded so early in the day and we got a great seat by the buffet. Everything I had I enjoyed, and I wish that I had superhuman eating abilities so I could eat more. I tried almost everything. A few notables were the etouffee (yum!), gumbo, jambalaya, raw oysters, fried shrimp, creme brulee, and cheesecake. They were all delicious! The mashed potatoes were not that great--they seemed like they were made from a mix. Most of the salads were so-so. They also had waffles and omelets available I think, but I didn't waste room on them since I wanted the cajun and creole foods. Since it was buffet, we didn't experience the service much except that refills were pretty prompt and that there was an obnoxious server laughing loudly the whole time, which was very annoying. The atmosphere is nice--we sat indoors and were able to enjoy our conversation in comfy booths but it was still classy. We missed the live band unfortunately. There is complimentary valet and I think that the all-you-can-eat brunch is a great value for about $25--I would definitely return.
