Wine • Brunch • American • Vegetarian Friendly
"I don’t even know where to start. I came here for dinner for my honeymoon. I married a lovely pastry chef and needless to say food and wine are our lives. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere in this restaurant manages to walk a great line between top level fine dining... but it feels like it’s being served by your friend who knows his way around a kitchen. I don’t think this atmosphere could exist anywhere but a place like Louisville. I come from Toronto where our restaurants are trying so hard to deliver this kind of experience it often feels like they are “trying too hard” and experiencing fine dining in places like New York, Paris, and San Francisco (all worth doing) things at Magnolia feel ... relaxed. Our server (Travis) knew the wine pairings well and was able to talk about what was in our glass. The wine list is OUTSTANDING... cool climate focused and pretty foolproof to go with the food if you decide to skip the pairings. Owner/Chef Edward Lee was at the restaurant when we were there and he walked around the restaurant thanking everyone for being there. Chef... thank you for running a fine restaurant and creating an experience we will never forget."
