Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and loved the vibe. The drinks were great. Only had the burrata but it was delish. The bartenders were so friendly and cool. Loved hanging out and chatting. Will definitely be a regular spot for me and my girls!

Dani & Kayla go above and beyond for their customers. They are exceptionally attentive at the bar. They’re very welcoming and make you feel comfortable the second you walk in. Go to Magnolias! The Magnolias Vesper drink is delicious!

I just went to Magnolias for the very first time and we were very impressed. When we sat at the bar we were greeted with a cocktail on the house which was so unexpected and so nice. The food and drinks were fantastic. We had the fried olives, crab cakes, wings and I got the flat iron steak. We also tried various martinis and we finished the night off with an affogato. Everything was delicious. The bartender Danni was so friendly and very attentive. We will definitely be back soon!

Spreading the word, ask for the PBT Espresso martini (Peanut Butter Tequila) from the secret menu! The duck strudel was delectable and the spicy tuna was fresh and tasty. The french dip was so flavorful and the lamb chops were delicious! Ever drink was 10/10 and the restaurant looks beautiful! Magnolia's is great addition to the Bay Shore area.

Stopped in Magnolias on a whim and we were so Happy we did. Greeted with a welcome drink while we decided what we wanted to order. The cocktails are fantastic, Joey was our server and he was amazing! Guided us with our orders and was very patient and fun with two undecided girls. The Fried olives are a must and the Pineapple was to die for. Can't wait to visit again and try more. A wonderful addition to Bay Shore

Such a great new place! Food, service and staff were all 5 stars! Wife and I LOVED the food and drinks! The cocktails we got were the Caprese Martini, Egg-spresso Martini, Autumnal-Gròni, and the Lucky Duck. All 5 stars!! The food we got was the Seared Tuna Steak, the Chili Crisp Brussels Fried Rice and the Black Pepper Bourbon BBQ wings (as an app). All 5 out of 5. Go! Enjoy! We just went back and enjoyed two more cocktails; the Hot and Dirty Martini and Stifler’s Mom! Both amazing! To eat we loved the Flat Iron Steak and the Crispy Buttermilk Chicken! 5/5 for everything
