Robie's And Lounge At Magnolia

The service was disappointing, as it felt like the kitchen was understaffed. We were the only customers in the restaurant and still waited 50 minutes for mediocre food, and our appetizers were forgotten.

This was our first visit, but we will certainly return! The drinks were a wonderful way to kick off our date, the food was outstanding, and we finished the evening with dessert and champagne. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and attentive to all our requests. We also loved the winter decorations and the seasonal specialty drinks. I highly recommend this place for a date night!

Robie's seemed overwhelmed by our large group, as they only had one cook available. Thankfully, I had the foresight to make reservations in advance, knowing we would be attending a sizable conference. Our server, Tony, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and patient. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for the manager, who made me feel rushed, scrutinized, and unwelcome. On the bright side, the food was quite good (kudos to the lone chef), and the ambiance was warm and inviting.

They were clearly understaffed, which led to long wait times, and clearly confused seating situation. We were sat very close to two other tables, so we could hear their conversations easily and vice versa. Everyone was in town for a concert so that wasn't so bad sharing conversations, but would not have been great for most other nights out. It also allowed us to see that both tables on either side of us had issues with their orders, both with incorrect items and late items. My tables food was luke-warm but after watching what was happening with the other tables we were lucky. The staff was polite and hustling, but they just didn't have enough people to cover the crowd and it was clear the issues extended into the kitchen staff for the speed the food was coming out.

Great service and food for breakfast and were very kind to children.
