Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Magnolia

Seafood forward menu but plenty of other meats and veggies to round out the meal. I found it easy to find gluten free options for everything but dessert. My husband enjoyed his birthday meal. Almost forgot to mention the drinks are amazing, boozy and flavorful, a rare occurrence.

Wow! I walked past this resto so many times, and, from the outside, it looked average. However, as soon as you walk in the front door, you know that you are some place special. The ambience is great, but, more importantly, the food was exquisite. Yes, it was expensive, but the experience was worth every penny. To start, we ordered rolls with chive butter, and, for an entrée, had pumpkin ravioli with walnuts, apples, onions, and ricotta cheese--yum! The food was so good that we decided to order dessert, an apple tartan which was equally delicious. On top of that, our server was excellent, very helpful, and friendly. You have to try this place at least once!

Tabula Gardens is magical from the second you find the sign pointing you along the outdoor seating to enter the restaurant. Everyone is there to ensure that you are enjoying a wonderful experience. Every morsel of food was flavored to provide a symphony of delight. I can't say enough about the service and how they make you feel so special. Joseph, our lead server, made sure everything that arrived was to our liking. He is such a extraordinary server! The food was amazing! I cannot wait to return to Philly, so I can experience the wonders of Talula's Garden.

Alex - our waiter - was fantastic. One of the best dinners we’ve ever had anywhere!

We had a wonderful evening at Paloma! Our waiter was fabulously attentive, knowledgeable about the menu. We shared guacamole and the Tostado de Cameron. It was light and refreshing. There were 4 to an order and not too big and not too small. Perfect size for an appetizer. I had the one of the specials. Butternut squash and shrimp in a lobster-based sauce along with ricotta. It was amazing. We all enjoyed our meals very much! We brought tequila to add to the delicious pitcher of Margaritas. Although a bit loud it was a great evening of great food!!
