    An excellent dining experience from the moment we entered; friendly greeting, quick, attentive seating, menu and special presentations were prompt. From order to service, time allowed for familiarizing us with the place, and our quiet conversation. The food presentation was excellent-to-superior. The server, Ali, was attentive without hovering, and the place was busy with constant table turn-over; but there was never a sense of being rushed. I work in Manhattan; 525 is a gem.

    Wonderful vibe to this happening restaurant. The best part, there were tons of options and everyone loved their meals. If I lived closer, this would become a frequent destination! Thanks for the great service on a busy Saturday evening.

    We went to this restaurant on a recommendation from a friend. The atmosphere was really nice, we sat outside on the patio. The waitress was very nice and the food and drinks came in a timely manner. Drinks were great. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip to start which was really good. We both ordered the baked haddock which was just OK. The fish was very watery which leads me to believe it was frozen but I could very well be wrong. It didn't have much flavor to it at all. I'm on a low carb diet so there wasn't much on the menu that i could eat but i would definitely give it another shot. You can't really base a restaurant off of one meal.

    Our first time to Magnolia525 Tavern. I was impressed by the appearance and overall ambiance, we were seated promptly, but that is all that was prompt. The waitress never introduced herself , and seemed more concerned about recognizing her regular customers than attending to her orders and tables Our drink order took forever to arrive, and each drink came out separately. The bartenders were not capable of handling even a moderate crowd and each time a drink or plate came out we had a different server. The food was great , presentation was great , but overall, the lack of service really detracted from the meal I would go back again , and give them another chance, everyone occasionally has a bad night. Hopefully Magnolia 525 can offer up some staff training to complement the great location and food they serve

    Loved it! Our server was on top of things, never had to look around for her if I needed anything, she was right there. The apps and entrees were served in a timely manner and everything was delicious. Great experience as usual at 525!
