Magnolia Kitchen & Bar

Great service. Great Happy hour specials. Really outstanding service. Friendly hostess and great bartenders! Nate and the woman working yesterday were very good. Just top notch service. The personal pizzas were also very good. Great value proposition and very good. The house wine was decent too. And when you factor in happy hour pricing extremely good. Very lovely happy hour. Great location with the windows to open to watch the streets and get a nice breeze.

This is a nice intimate place to go have a drink at the bar, dine in or outside. The food is fairly price. The chef has mastered the menu and you will not be disappointed with your order. From salads to THE best burger I have had in a very long time. This restaurant delivers and deserves no less than five stars. Parking is a little tricky but if your familar with d.c. you know that's nothing new. Its located in Dupont Circle so you can take the train. The restaurant is only a few steps from there. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Magnolia Kitchen and Bar is a cozy little spot with modern stylish decor. The restaurant is nestled on a busy neighborhood corner in the Dupont circle area. From the beginning to end of the meal you will enjoy every part. For the Gin lovers start off with the cocktail, Tony and the Giant Peach. The gin and peach combination work very well together and create the perfect mix. Order a few appetizers such as the wings and shrimp devil eggs. They both left me wanting to order and eat more. For my main course I had the chicken and waffles. Although, when my meal first arrived to the table the panko fried chicken didn't look appealing to me, the dish made up for the lack of appearance in the great taste. You will definitely need a touch of syrup and butter but so does every great waffle. Before you leave you must end your meal with the bread pudding. Bread pudding is a favorite dessert of mine and this bread pudding now falls in my top five, absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back soon to see what they have to offer for dinner, have a Tony and the Giant Peach and of course order the bread pudding.

Been here a couple of times and it’s always been great. First thing first, you HAVE TO try the scarlet buzz. Coolest drink I’ve ever had! It’s hard to explain, but definitely an experience you only get if you try it for yourself. I ordered the Salmon (subbed the greens for potato fingers) with creamy orzo. The flavors complimented each other really well and it was the perfect amount of food. I’ve also ordered the crab crake sandwich, which was good but I preferred the salmon. Some good appetizers to try are their pigs in a blanket, beef sliders, tuna tartare, and steak and cheese tacos. Overall, the food is great and the staff is very friendly/welcoming. I highly recommend stopping by if you get the chance.

Came here the other night with a friend that moved back into town. The drink menu is certainly different and unique. I had the Hot Honeysuckle which certainly had a good amount of heat to it. My friend and I just hung out at the bar and continued to order more shareable appetizers as we continued on with our drinks. The pigs and the blanket were good, but nothing out of the ordinary as they are just like pigs in a blanket (it did come with two types of mustard, points there). The rest of the apps we ordered were very good. Tuna tartare, ratatouille, steak tacos, sliders and the curry shrimp. Everything came out nice and hot, and each dish tasted very good. The service was very responsive as well. Looking forward to coming back here another time to try some more items.

The service and the food here are great! The staff was friendly and accommodating. I ordered the pan seared salmon and it was perfectly cooked and a sizeable portion for the price. The cocktail menu is unique. I ordered the Scarlet Buzz and it was refreshing and strong! Definitely will come back again!
