Magnolia Bistro & Lounge

We really loved it here. The service, food, and staff were all wonderful.

Appetizers , garlic shrimp w toasted bread & tomato bruschetta are fantastic , halibut and short rib is sooo good & for dessert we got bread pudding, delicious 👏👍🏻

Excellent selection if wines. Staff was knowledgeable and courteous. Setting was provincial French meets American cafe. Food was well seasoned including vegetarian items. Overall excellent experience.

Love this place. Casual atmosphere. The food was amazing! Unusual pairings but it was delicious. Would be great for a casual date night, do a little wine tasting, etc

Love this place!
A quaint little Claremont gem, romantically lit and automatically the most romantic scene -- candles, fresh flowers in vases. A small tapas wine bar, adorned with countless variety of imported wine bottles ready to crack open. The server who I assume to be the owner served me and, to my delight, gave me a generous amount of rosé to start while my friend got a deep red.

My go-to wine bar hands down.

Fantastic, dining experience. I will be back with my family this summer. I had the candied walnuts and beetroot salad with goat cheese after enjoying the garlic shrimp. Unsweetened iced tea. Topped it all off. Next time I will have to try dessert. Great to know about this hidden gem.

Hosted our daughter’s 21st birthday party here. Excellent experience. Food, ambience in the private room, and service were all pluses. A good value for a large private room compared to some other restaurants in Claremont.

Adorable space to enjoy some great wines, beer, sangria, and food. Wonderful service, and phenomenal happy hour.

The wine selection here is awesome! Gloria and Melinda are awesome! Helped me selecting a great wine! Plus, the food is amazing!! Need to check it out of you're in town!!

Great little gem!! Nice atmosphere, great service, delicious food and drink!!

Cozy wine bar with great service and decent selection. Only ordered one appetizer, but kept an eye out on the other dishes coming out. The food looked finely crafted. Looking forward to another visit. Flights are $23, but you can pick any wines you want to taste.

Beautiful place!! Servers and iwhat's were very knowledgeable about the wine and helpful in selections and pairings. We only tried appetizers and desserts but both were delicious!! Had the sauteed mushrooms Yum! And beignet- like dessert and it was a delicious mix if flavors! Already planning our next visit!

Loved this visit. Unfortunately they close early so we were a bit rushed. Good cheese plate and awesome wine selection. Very cute and homey inside. Nice server

Absolutely amazing. From the decorations to the cherry bread pudding for dessert. From the front of house with Gloria to the back with Fransisco everything was absolutely amazing.

Love love love this place!!! Thrilled they are back open. The wine selection is fantastic, the food is fabulous, the decor is adorable, and the owner goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. It truly is a hidden gem in Claremont. Looking forward to my next visit.

Still haven't tried dinner yet because the happy hour selections are so good. The loaded potatoes and shrimp tacos were a knock out thanks to the servers recommendation! Lots of tasty wines. Try a flight!

What a fun spot to meet friends! I had the wine flight and fell on love with a new favorite thanks to my knowledgeable waiter. They also have a constantly changing beer lineup so it's always fun to visit and see what's new!

Been here a couple times now and still looking forward to the next! They focus on tapas size plates- Perfect for sharing with friends! So far my favorites are: the house salad, bruschetta, veggie panini, chorizo sliders, and braised beef. I know it's quite a few but I imagine that nothing on this menu will disappoint; Their chefs really know what they're doing. The staff was so welcoming and attentive, without being too overbearing. The place is so nicely decorated, I was taking notes for my own house! Lol. I'm a big ambience person and this place really checks all the boxes. The music complemented the vibe and feel of it all. The wine flight was superb and I like that they feature beer on tap from local breweries- Last Name & Claremont Craft. Oh and don't forget to save room for their dessert! House-made cheesecake and my favorite, tiramisu. Can't wait to try more off their delicious menu.

Had the sous vide fried chicken on polenta for dinner. Superb dish. A nice broth and tender greens to accompany, no gravy so not as heavy as a traditional southern style fried chicken. A nice modern take that isn't pretentious. Sous vide means the chicken is perfectly cooked, not rubbery, not dry even between the dark and white. Forgot to take a picture because I was too busy devouring it. Will order it again and probably do the same thing, I won't even be sorry.

Drove by and decided to try something new. So glad we did. We each had a flight of wine which pretty much adds up to 3 glasses of wine! The papas brava were delicious and the ceviche. The pear radish tapas were delicious as well. We look forward ro going back even renting out the event space for a birthday next year.
