My meal was at lunch time in the bar area. There was only one server on duty for entire place. He was very good but he had to be everywhere. The bar area was not full but the dining room had several patrons. Service was very slow. Food was mediocre for the price. I ordered halibut fish and chips. What arrived was halibut fish and chips but not freshly breaded/battered as advertised. They looked much like frozen filets from the grocery store. The slaw looked good but I could only taste onion. I've never had onion in slaw before. The fries were coated in something and were ok, but not spectacular. I love good fish and chips but on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being exceptional, this lunch was a 3. Dessert was ordered as they had another favorite of mine: crème brûlée. It was good but not $13.00 good. I doubt I will go back. I can get better food for same price at other places.

This place is a bit hidden, beautiful space, great food and service! It's right on the golf course, comfy seats and big windows that overlook the white pillars outside. Ambiance is classy and quiet. Would definitely go again!

Beautiful building. Our waiter was excellent and attentive. I had the beef tips with wild rice sub in. Very savory, beef was tender. Good coffee too!

The dining room is absolutely beautiful, perfect atmosphere. Went on a Sunday morning with a girl friend for brunch, and it was slow, which was very nice. Server was excellent. Food was delicious. We each got a mimosa flight which was excellent as well. It was a perfect rainy Sunday morning, just expect around $30-$50 per person.

Great food, great folks, nice digs, the only drawback is their wines are marked up quite high. Otherwise highly recommended!

We had a great family gathering and will return again when we're back in Salem. Food and service was excellent. Very bright inside with lots of windows.

Have been a Salem resident for five years. We come from a large metropolitan city where the bar is high when it comes to dining. Sadly, Salem can be somewhat unsophisticated when it constitutes what a "good" restaurant is; food, service and ambiance. There are a handful of dining establishments in Salem that rival the better restaurants in larger cities. I am happy to say that Magnolia on the Green is now amongst those top few! We had an excellent meal here last night. Food quality, interesting menu choices, presentation and service were top notch. The only "error" from the kitchen we experienced was, our appetizer, a wonderful flatbread with Bleu and Brie cheese with pears, prosciutto and (somewhat wilted) arugala, was delivered to the table uncut. It was a struggle for a diner to slice. When inquiring to our waiter, we learned that it indeed should have been cut into easy to handle slices. While he apologized profusely for the mistake, it didn't take away from how delicious the dish was. I took away one star for that and ambiance. While the space itself has an old school steakhouse ambiance (which is warm and welcoming), the lighting could have been just a tad dimmer to complete a cozy feel for the five out of five stars. Yes, the price is higher than what you'll likely pay elsewhere, but this place doesn't fit the mold of what you'll find elsewhere in Salem. What I did find odd were the prices for the dishes. Rather than rounding the cost up to the next highest dollar or half dollar, you'll see prices like "$16.46" as an example. Not sure what that was about. But for the rarity of this hidden gem, I was glad to pay it. We'll be back!

Lovely restaurant with great service. We sat by the window and watched the golfers as we ate. They have the best clam chowder I've ever tasted!

Wow! This is hands down our new favorite restaurant in Salem. The food, drinks, and staff are all top-notch! The bacon-date appetizer is delicious and my New York steak with bone marrow butter was cooked to perfection (get the horseradish mashed potatoes - you'll thank me later). On another visit I kept it simple with a bowl of clam chowder - probably one of the best clam chowders I've ever had. My wife couldn't get the salad out of mind so we went back two days later. And don't get me started on the drinks. S'mores old-fashioned with a toasted marshmallow? Yes, please!!

Definitely at the top of our list of favorite restaurants in Salem. Since our first visit we've been back two more times within a week. The entire staff is excellent, Teya in particular deserves 5* she goes above and beyond.

There's a lot of kinks that needs to be worked out in the kitchen and the bar before they can compare to the one in Silverton, until then we will drive to
