   The new decor is nice and the lit menus is AMAZING. The bread was mediocre and cold. Butter should be soft. My steak was medium (dry), not medium rare, and a bit grisly. Compared to the previous Magic Lamp, I'd say it's improved with a steeper price tag, but unfortunately the food wasn't spectacular...

   Dining here was incredible and delightful. The ambiance was a mix of vintage Hollywood glam (days of Sinatra and Dean Martin) and quirky artsy beauty, with gorgeous stained glass windows and lamps, chandeliers and an lovely central fireplace. Add live music, great food, and stellar service = a great date place to make you feel special.

   The food was absolutely horrible. Our steaks were overcooked. Sent it back received overcooked again. The Seabass was still raw in the middle the crème brûlée frozen the drinks were nine out of 10. The service was amazing.

   The most amazing, submersible experience I’ve had at a restaurant. The staff treated my party wonderfully and made my birthday extra special this year. I would go back any day!♥️

   Things were okay up until we were waiting for quite some time for our entree. We had long had our starter and bread. The server finally came over and said they had run out of the filet. Huh? We should have had our meals at this point not told they ran out of a menu item, at a steakhouse. So we substituted for the New York. From there we waited for another good while, long enough that the server came by to apologize and say ours was expedited and the manager would be by. We then watched another table get served. We were so hungry at this point. 2 1/2 hours total went by from the time we sat down to the time our entree was served. The worst service we have ever had at a restaurant. The steaks were bland and not cooked to order. The manager did comp our meal and offered a free cocktail, but this was really quite bad.

   I am so glad Magic Lamp was reopened. It is a treasure here in Rancho, and came back better than ever!

   TL;DR this is a wonderful Southern California landmark. Our table had a wonderful time enjoying Howie the Crooner sing jazz standards by the fire. To ensure you have the best experience, plan to spend about 2-3 hours for a meal start to finish. The kitchen & bar were incredibly slow, BUT our server was very attentive and apologetic. When it finally arrived, or dinner was excellent and some of the best filet we’ve had. The only anomaly was that the table bread was raw in the center. Other than that we had a wonderful time and will be back again soon.
