Philipose's - Magnolia

Just came for the first time today and had a wonderful experience. The waitress we had was very sweet, and the food was delicious!! Had the Seafood stuffed mushrooms appetizer, no picture though. LOVE. We also love the atmosphere in here, modern and comfortable. The drink menu has classic, familiar choices for traditionals, but quite a few unique options for the adventurers : Great place to get a beer, try a new cocktail or eat some good food.

On our first visit, at lunch. We had the risotto cheese balls in a roasted red pepper sauce. Fantastic, a must have. She had the chicken salad sandwich, very good, and I had the curry chicken served with roasted brussel sprouts, 5 stars. We had the Flan for dessert, since it was made by the owner's mother. It was reeeeallllyy good. The owner stopped by to tell us more about the restaurant and what they featured on different nights (Jazz band and pork chops on Thursday night! and their weekend dinners for two for $50. Brunch 10-6 on the weekends with $5 **** Marys. The service was great also. Based on what we had today, we will be back many times to try everything. Don't let the small store front in the strip center turn you off either, parking down the side of the building, plenty of room inside and lots of tables outside on the covered deck if you choose.

From the moment you walk in, there is a relaxed feel that you are in a special place, where the service and food prove this to be true. Brian is an eclectic chef who fuses several genres of food into amazingly delicious dishes that are all likely to become your favorites. Everything is great about this place.

Wow, great food, great drinks, great service! will be going back!!!

For an appetizer I started with the stuffed mushrooms which were amazing. It had a good kick we're cooked excellently. It still had a bite to it and was juicy. I was able to cut each in half without making a mess. Beautiful plating. For my main course I ordered the lamb chops. The asparagus was cooked Al dente and the lamb was perfect. Juicy and tender. The mint chimichurri wasn't overpowering and was on there just perfect. Not sure what was over the white rice but it paired well with everything on the plate. I finished with the Flan and as expected it was really good. I didn't see too many reviews on it so I wanted to try it. The overall experience was great, waitress was sweet, the music was relaxing, the atmosphere inside was nice and also relaxing.
