Magnolia American Brasserie - Spokane

My daughter and I planned an overnight outing in Spokane with dinner and a concert. We were very excited to try Magnolia. The location near the Fox makes it a natural destination for pre concert dinner and the reviews seemed promising. We could not have been more disappointed. The interior is lovely and we were seated at a great table. The wine list is eclectic but balanced and very reasonably price positioned. According to the Manager, they are in the process of redesigning their wine list, however, the bottle of wine we ended up with was the one thing we were not disappointed with. Dinner menu was heavy on pasta. We ordered the mussels, caprese salad, and mushroom ravioli to split. The mussels were so salty as to be inedible. We thought that perhaps some bread would help we were brought a piece of what appeared to be Texas toast. It did not help. The tomato in the Caprese salad were under ripe and we cut our bites around the green center. The mushroom ravioli were prepared well, not over cooked, however the sauce was off. It was as if the sauce had been prepared at too high of temp. Service was spotty and unpolished. Magnolia has such potential, with their location they could have a built in theatre clientele but they must be able to produce consistently delicious food.

Great staff! Super friendly, and the food was delicious. I came down for an espresso, not realizing they had closed an hour before. The manager stepped up and made me one anyway, and it was way better than the coffee joint down the block. Kudos for excellent customer service and quality food ?

Scott, our server, was excellent. I hope the management acknowledges his exceptional service. We keep coming back to the restaurant because of the great experience he provides us.

I highly recommend this restaurant for a great breakfast spot. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, and the server was very friendly. The food was delicious, although our order was slightly incorrect. The server quickly offered to make adjustments to our bill. Overall, it is a very affordable and tasty option.

The staff, food, and atmosphere at this restaurant are excellent! The staff is patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. The breakfast was delicious and we will definitely be returning for dinner next time we are in town. The atmosphere is chic and exactly the vibe I didn't know I needed in a hotel bar. I love it there!
