Just drove by. They are open! So glad to see another great restaurant open!! Cars in the parking lot & the valet sign out front.

We had dinner reservations for a group of 4 and were seated immediately upon arrival. The outdoor space was large, well lit, and had fans and misters going. Our server, Brandon, was very attentive and friendly. Our waters and table bread were brought out quickly and our orders were taken just as quickly. All of the food was delicious. I ordered the caribbean spiced chicken that was supposed to come with a spicy mango slaw and poblano hummus. The hummus was there and it was great. The slaw was more of a side salad with red bell peppers, red onion, and iceberg lettuce. It wasn't spicy at all and I didn't see any mango. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The outdoor space was huge and included a lawn and some lounge chairs out by a dock. The bathroom was clean and stocked with paper towels and soap. We saw several couples and families dining here at sunset and I think it's a great place for that.

Beautiful place!!! Went for my birthday with family and friends. Waitress was super great! Food was amazing! My rye less manhattan was amazing! As were the other fun drinks the table ordered! Yes. We will be back!

We are staying on the Key for a long weekend and I've been wanting to visit Magnolia's on the bay for over a year! Everything about the evening was great! Jeremy was our server and was attentive and helpful. All of the food we chose was amazing! I had the salmon and my husband had the black grouper. The combos of the veggies and the display on the plate were beautiful! It is all outdoor seating and we chose under the umbrellas with a fan. It is a cute spot with a few different photo ops. Definitely worth recommending and trying if you are near the area.

We had an awesome time here recently! The food was delicious and the location and ambience were amazing! It's a beautiful location and very upscale food! And stellar service as well!

We had an amazing dinner! Valet parking, wonderful cocktails, great service, beautiful atmosphere and casual chic dining. They had everything from sushi to steak. I had the grouper special and it was fantastic. I recommend the dirty martini from the emerald bar! Take a walk out back and look into the bay. We will definitely be back.

We were able to get a last minute reservation for a date night and had a fantastic dinner. Our server stopped by about 5 minutes after we sat down and gave us the run down on specials of the day and his personal favorites on the menu. We later heard a table nearby learn about happy hour specials but we were never told about those. We started with the Ahi Tuna which is an appetizer on their sushi menu. My wife has the Crab Cakes appetizer and Burrata appetizer as her meal. They were both delicious and the portions together were perfect for an entree. I went with the Chilean Sea Bass and it was fantastic. Every little ingredient was a perfect mixture for a delicious dish. The portions were large and I definitely didn't leave hungry. The entire property is beautiful with such a unique design. You walk into the old house into the open kitchen and bar area before walking out to the large outdoor dining space and beautiful backyard leading to the water. The valet parking is so convenient as parking can be very difficult in this area. We will definitely come back on future trips to the area!

We were told Magnolia's had an really good happy hour and served a pretty decent sushi roll so we thought we would give it a try. It was a good thing we made a reservation because the happy hour is not a secret - it was very busy. We enjoyed the Dragonfly Roll & Magnolias Volcano Roll for starters and then shared the Shrimp & Grits. All of the food was fresh and flavorful. The staff was freindly and attentive and the outdoor patio was comfortable with a view of the river in the distance. We enjoyed our meal and planned on going back again but were not able to make it on this trip. Make sure to make a reservation if you go during season.

We gave Magnolia's a second chance after our very disappointing experience on my birthday 2 years ago. Stopped by on our boat for lunch. They redeemed themselves, we had a very nice (and pricey!) lunch and very good service. We had the cheese and leek soup, the pot stickers and the goat cheese and beets salad. And the bread they serve was really good. The sushi at the table next to us looked really good as well.

Super cute restaurant with nice ambiance. The seating is outdoors with an indoor bar area. The water overlook is nice. We greatly enjoyed our dining experience here. The al fresco dining was awesome and so was the food! The locals say the sushi is great so I must return to try. Cocktails were excellent and they had some variations which were nice :) To note: Valet parking is a must We will be back. Thanks, Magnolias!
