5+++++++ Excellent! Highest recommendation! Superior experience! Fantastic premium craft cocktails prepared in front of us by an expert mixologists! Shout out to Mixologists Charlie! Excellent job!! We sat at the bar for lunch and the Executive Chef greeted us and engaged us in conversation about the menu! We learned about his favorite dishes and how he locally sources premium oysters directly from oyster farmers! He knew them by name! Wow! Can you say "farm to table" fast enough! Nothing better than knowing the source! A++++ on sourcing local fresh products and engaging customers! Way to show you are passionate and dedicated to providing the best experience! We had fried olives, quite good and unique! Served in a Martini glass with some dipping sauce. A must try! A great accompaniment to one of their craft martinis! We also had the spicy tuna app. That was very good as well. Beautifully plated, flavorful and Asian-Fusion style. Recommended! We split a classic French Dip Sandwich, The bread was perfect! No skipping there! Classic French Baguette, slightly crispy crunch and perfect interior to soak up the right amount of the French Dip without becoming soggy! It also has horse radish dipping sauce on the side! Mmmmm! It had caramelized onions beautifully sliced slow cooked flavorful rib eye! All the right flavors! Probably one of the best French Dips around! Oh I gotta mention the thick crinkle cut chips! So many places fumble by putting just any commercially available fries or starch on the side of the plate. No fumbles at Magnolias! Seems they hand cut thick crinkle cut chips and fried them perfectly so the outside was crisp and the thick inside was soft and tender! Perfect!!! My Martini was a "Caprese Martini". Mozzarella fat washed, with mild olive oil and Basil flavors. Made right in front of us! Served chilled! Garnished with fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomato! Um perfect! Oh, forgot to mention, they have a super price fix lunch menu! Hard to beat! We will return again and again! After this experience, Magnolias is now on our list as one of our favorite South Shore spots! Cant wait to return! Highly recommended! Great Martinis! Fabulous eclectic tapas style menu! Bravo Magnolias! read more

Small and cozy, wee seated at the bar without reservations and had the most wonderful dinner! As a first time patron, you receive a delicious welcome cocktail! There are many types of drinks on the menu and you may feel overwhelmed! Talk to the bartender/general manager and he will help describe and explain, even how they are intricately made and designed. Several apps were had and all were delicious and unique. Entrees were equally delicious. read more

Magnolias is a very cool spot with a lot to offer. In addition to a great restaurant and bar area, they 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. read more

I couldn't find a phone number for Magnolias, so I made a lunch reservation via OpenTable last week and noted my food allergies. The drive from Queens to Bay Shore took about an hour. A woman walking her dog said the area had metered parking only and suggested we download the ParkMobile app. When we walked in for our reservation, the server greeted us right away. Drink Nespresso Food *sharing is caring* Crispy Fried Olives: Even with the black garlic aioli, the olives were still way too salty. Black Pepper Bourbon BBQ Wings: Mmm, finger-licking goodness! Magnolia Clams Oreganata: Just one bite of the baked clams hit all the flavors on my palate. Chili Crisp Brussels Fried Rice: The server told me the kitchen modified the dish without coconut for my allergy. The room temperature was freezing like outside, and our food got cold. The bill showed separate totals for card and cash. We paid cash. read more

We came here this Friday for lunch, and the ambiance is upscale, though a bit empty. We were literally the only ones dining at the tables, while everyone who arrived later stayed at the bar. The food was delicious however a bit cold due to the room temperature. ORDERED: Nespresso - I was bummed that they don't have any caffeine option other than the "plastic" Nespresso. Crispy Fried Olives - I love the plating. It's very creative. It comes with a side of black garlic aioli. Although the olives are a bit salty, I found the salt to be somewhat masked when eat with the black garlic aioli. Black Pepper Bourbon BBQ Wings - the sauce was delicious but the wings tasted a bit hard.. prob deep fried before being cooked with the black pepper bourbon bbq sauce. Magnolia Clams Oreganata - this is prob one of my favorite. It was delicious and on point. Chili Crisp Brussels Fried Rice - it was filling and tasty. The bill offered both credit card and cash options. We opted for cash since it was cheaper. They have parking outside but they were all paid parking. I used the ParkMobile app but it only allows you 15 minutes for each session. I literally have to reload every 15 minutes. read more

First visit to this fairly new restaurant. Was blown away by the food and the cocktails. We sat at the bar and were very well taken care of. They started us off with complementary pineapple, express cocktails. I'm not a Tequilla fan but this drink was outstanding. I ordered an old fashioned which was made perfectly. To start I got the lamb chops chop they were also tops, for main I went with the bourbon glazed wings. Outstanding ! My girlfriend went with the flank steak which was cooked perfectly. I think o going a new fave !! This restaurant has a nice city vibe to it. Drinks are made to perfection and the food was tops. I can't wait to return. A+++++++++ read more

This place opened like two weeks ago and it's already popping in there. I'm genuinely so happy for them. First off, the ambiance is a 10/10. The wallpaper alone is such a vibe. I've been twice now. The first time was on a Thursday around 6, and it wasn't crowded yet, but it definitely picked up by the time we left. The second time, which was yesterday, I went at 7 and it was packed. Highly recommend making reservations during peak hours. Now for the -1 star: * The wing sauce was homemade (huge plus), but the wings themselves weren't super crispy. To be fair, I'm a tough critic when it comes to wings. * Both times I went, the same guy was the only waiter for the entire restaurant. He was handling everything ...drinks, food from the kitchen, to-go containers, bussing tables, the works. He was fantastic, but that's just way too much for one person. Please, hire help. Food-wise, everything else was great. I got the fried rice dish the first time - absolutely delicious. The second time I tried the burger, which came with homemade ruffled potato slices. The portions are huge, too. Despite the minor stuff, I'll 10000% be going back. read more

Magnolias - Martinis - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

Such a fun and unique spot! The martinis were hands down the best I've ever had, made with care, and you can taste the difference. The crispy fried olives were the perfect bar snack, especially if you just want a small bite with your drink. I tried the lamb chops, which come as a trio, and they were perfectly paired with kimchi that had just the right amount of kick, which I loved. The rice was flavorful and came in a generous portion, enough to enjoy again later. Service was impeccable. I sat at the bar, and the staff made sure everything was spot on. I'll definitely be back, there's still so much more on the menu I can't wait to try! read more

Booked a dinner for four on New Year's Eve as they shared an interesting Prix Fix menu for that night. The staff was beyond friendly and offered recommendations when necessary. The restaurant is classy and intimate. There are booths and tables, we had a nice corner seat. We started off with a round of drinks and all were enjoyed. The Point Set Match was a table favorite. We all decided to go with the Prix Fix option as none of us had been there before and it was a great way to try a little of everything. Based on a conversation about wings with the staff, we were also convinced to try the Black Pepper Bourbon BBQ and Buffalo wings. We were not disappointed! I'm not going to list everyone's dinner items but the Ceasar salad got rave reviews, flat Iron steak was phenomenal and the seared tuna was finished before anyone else even started with their meal. It was a great first experience and we are excited for more. I know one person in our party planned to go back for wings on his lunch break the same week. Definitely try this place out. read more

One and done for us. 3 stars for the drinks and other staff. Bartender with hat backwards. Didn't even acknowledge us when we sat at the bar we sat there awkwardly while he attended to four other people laughing and carrying on and making drink selections. at the bar. We were just about to leave when he came over. No eye contact no greeting said here's the menu and walked away. My husband and I looked at each other. Then about five minutes later, another bartender came over a very nice woman asked us what we would like to drink. Drinks were very nicely made. Had them and went to another restaurant to eat. That bartender should also wash his shirt. I really don't like leaving bad reviews, however when you're not greeted in a timely manner, sitting at a bar that was not full and chatting with four other people and laughing and treating us with absolutely zero consideration when there are so many other wonderful restaurants in the Bayshore area it's sad to give a bad review. read more

Food was on point. Great entree pricing along with an excellent selection of cocktails.

I left a review on the Long Island Restaurant page on Facebook. So if you get an influx of women asking for cosmopolitans. It's because of me. I wasn't to happy with some of the apps we got. But I will be back to try other menu items. The drinks are FABULOUS Great little place for date night. read more

I'm a Bay Shore resident and sat at the bar in front of the bartender as a party of one on Thursday Girls Night Martini Club and managed to get one glass of water and one martini and the bartender finally realized - after I was sitting there for an hour - she confessed that she never put my food order in. Sheesh. I left frustrated and hungry with no dinner. Poor service and who knows what the food tasted like? I never got any. read more

This is a neighborhood gem. It's cozy and well decorated. The service was great. The baked brie was delicious would have been even better if it was served with a crustier bread. Hamburger was really good. Chips were a little too salty. Only disappointment was wine is only served by the glass so that becomes a little pricey. Still well worth the visit. read more

Cozy, well appointed, impeccably staffed craft cocktail bar with an inventive new American menu. Our waitress Jenn did a phenomenal job and everything was super fresh and delicious. Had a super sloppy and enjoyable French Dip, the scallops were insanely good, and the chicken sandwich was balanced and crunchy. Drinks included a welcome drink which was a super nice touch. Whatever you do, absolutely leave room for the chocolate cake. Its worth coming in for just on its own and is the size of the iceberg that sank the Titanic! read more

Such interesting creative drinks, loved them. Our meal was phenomenal, the 4 of us each ordered something different for our mains and a few small plates, we shared everything and loved each and every bite. Truly had no complaints about any of it. Our server, Connor I believe, was the best! Helpful, funny and very knowledgeable about the menu. Honestly one of the best meals we've had in a long time, drinks to desserts. We'll be back! read more

Our first time here at Magnolia's, and it was a success from the fried olives with the black garlic aïoli to the baked brie with apples and raspberries. The hamburger was cooked, perfectly medium-rare, tender juicy beautifully seasoned.. we also had the brussels sprout fried rice, which I had a literally had my wife take my fork away or else I would've finished the whole thing. service was phenomenal Neil was the bartender and waiter it was a shame that he said he was moving on to Tampa Bay definitely Bayshore is loss. Can't wait to bring friends and family there. They're gonna love it. read more
