The meal was very enjoyable! Our first time visiting on a Sunday and we liked the “3-Course Sunday” menu. Cream of Crab soup & Arugula Strawberry Salad with Goat Cheese we’re both winning starters. My filet mignons with mushrooms was cooked to MR as requested & the wife loved her Ocean & Bay (might’ve been called something else- crab cake, shrimp & scallop). Key Lime & Crème Brûlée for dessert- yum!

We had a wonderful meal at Barrett's Grill. Our server, Katie, was friendly, charming and just the right amount of attentiveness. Jess, the mixologist, is an expert at her craft. John, the manager, was there that night and stopped by several times to make sure all was as it should be. The ambiance was relaxing, and the food was prepared and served to perfection. The shrimp escargot was scrumptious, the corn and crab soup excellent as always, and the steaks (Filet and New York Strip) were butter tender. To finish off, we enjoyed the always enticing Key Lime Pie. A terrific evening at a terrific restaurant.

Very attentive waitstaff, appetizers of fried oysters and a creole crab and crawfish dip were excellent. Unfortunately the main course of barramundi fish flavor was overpowered by Key lime buerre blanc sauce, which was a bit of a disappointment. The Sazarac cocktails were great and fit the ambience well. Thursday night has a live band which added to the enjoyment.

I ordered fish & chips - the fish was fresh, and the fries were crispy and hot. They weren't over-battered or greasy. Hubby ordered the chicken souvlaki platter. Other than the chicken being a little dry/overcooked, it was delicious. Pits should be removed from olives before serving. :) Our server, Mike, was very attentive and kept an eye on us.

Outstanding everyday dinning experience. Very warm welcome upon arrival. Although it was our first time visiting, the owner and receptionist greeted us with as if we were VIPs/regulars…”come on in, happy to have you join us today!” The service was attentive, responsive, and friendly. Caroline, our server, was amazing. We also had the rare opportunity to meet Aida who was celebrating her birthday! What a wonderful person; truly enjoyed talking with her, an absolute pleasure…she exemplifies the restaurant’s overall 5 star experience. Last, but certainly not least, the food was perfectly prepared and came out in a timely manner. Our appetizer (rock shrimp) and meals (seafood pasta) were “lip-smacking” delicious! Highly recommend. We will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu.

We first ate at Magdalena in the spring so when we saw the summer menu, we had to come back. As always, the bread is wonderful; catfish croquettes, so fresh and clean; the pork and grilled peaches, phenomenal; rose and whiskey flight, excellent; and the dessert (strawberry cake and chocolate tart), the perfect ending to a meal.
