One of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore. The seasonal menu is always a treat. The atmosphere is fantastic for a relaxed calming evening. Always looking forward to going back!

The entire experience invokes happiness and pleases all of my senses. The free valet parking, charming host, and ambiance throughout the venue are lovely. My favorite space is the courtyard, where the wall is adorned with ivy. The entire staff is knowledgeable about the menu and where every item is sourced. Thus far, my favorite meal is the catfish, but Chef Scott is always preparing something new with our tastebuds and ecosystem in mind.

Magdalena’s ambience was amazing and definitely a romantic spot. The service was great, and staff were attentive and kind! Unfortunately, The food and drinks were overpriced and every dish was seasoned with an exorbitant amount of salt. My tongue literally recoiled because of the salt levels on not just the steak, the vegetables, but even on the bread. It’s so sad because I really wanted to like this place, but I can’t reconcile the cost with the quality of food. Our steak was also extremely tough despite being cooked medium rare.

Wonderful experience. Intimate ambiance. Knowledgeable wait staff that provides a very personalized feel. Creative thoughtful food combinations. It’s definitely a worthwhile adventure for foodies. Chose the Magdalena for a first date, and it was absolutely a great choice. Each dish generated a conversation – unique textures, interesting spin on traditional dishes. This is the first time I can say I truly enjoyed the appetizers more than the dessert. (We never actually made it to the entree because we were so intrigued/ satisfied by appetizers that we skipped to dessert. So now I’ve got to go back again to try some other dishes!

The Oysters were very good, the Mushroom Tartine was to die for, the Venison Loin was spectacular and the Beef Loin was unbelievable. Great food and drinks in a private dining area in the city.

Came here for date night and was not disappointed. It was a wonderful experience. The food was phenomenal, our server was attentive and fun to talk to, and the atmosphere was intimate but comfortable. Will definitely be coming back again. If you’re thinking about trying this place out don’t think just do it.

Wow! One of the best all around dining experiences I have had in years! The food, service, and ambiance was outstanding. Our server, Clay was fantastic… attentive but not hovering. Every course was delicious and innovative. We ate in the courtyard which was romantic (nice, since we were celebrating our 32d anniversary). We will definitely be going back!!!

Andrew was an incredible host and treated us so kindly while celebrating a birthday. We were attracted to their cocktails and a friend highly recommended we make a reservation to experience the ambiance and spectacular food. We loved the appetizer plates we ordered and everything is presented beautifully. The cocktails are truly stars of the show and their Uncle Nearest cocktail with a duck fat wash cannot be overlooked. Next time we visit we will stay at the Ivy upstairs and get a group together for dinner in their private wine cellar room. Magdalena’s is a must visit when you’re in Baltimore!
