Magnolia Restaurant & Wine Bar — Restaurant in Providenciales

It was great to sit outside with drinks and admire the panoramic view and sunset. However, for what it was, the food was expensive and disappointing.

The house focaccio bread basket was sparse and spongey, and little like any focaccio I used to enjoy when living in Milan. The olive oil was thin and bland, and the table salt shaker I reached for was ineffective. My starter (mushroom and goat's cheese millefeuille with pesto sauce) was warm on top but suspiciously chilled at the base, and the pesto overpowered the dish completely. My main course (veal with lemon potato puree and veggies) was an equal let down: the veal was sliced far too thinly such that the only taste and texture that came through were the fried breadcrumbs. The best thing about the dish was the mashed potato with its faint citron message. The accompanying vegetables, however, were indelicately prepared and tasteless. My chocolate and raspberry cake dessert special was more a brownie stodge with no fruit about it.

My wife had Caesar salad, which would have been better with shaved parmesan than grated cheese. There were no croutons - only two cold and hard (rather than crispy) slices of fried focaccio on the side. Her well-done Black Angus tenderloin was "fine" and, if I recall correctly, accompanied by oven-roasted baby potatoes and a tasty jus.

This was our first visit to Magnolia, to celebrate our wedding anniversary, after five years on island - having presumed it was still closed due to the effects of Hurricane Irma. The restaurant is poorly signposted from the main road, and would also do well to reinstate a lighted pathway up from the Turtle Cove bend. In summary, while we may return at some point for drinks, since the view is its unique selling point, we would be very reluctant to...

We’ve been here four times before and I think tonight will be our last. From the sound of it, a lot of others feel the same way. I had noted that it was my birthday and not even so much as a friendly greeting was offered. We were shoved in a dark corner of the balcony. The servers, who we recognize from prior years, remain friendly and are lovely. That said, the service wasn’t great. The food however was absolutely not worth the price or honestly my time. We were (eventually) served “focaccia”… it was glorified wonder bread. The fried calamari was fine, none of the other appetizers were remotely appealing. I ordered the rack of lamb and swapped the mashed potatoes for the potato gratin- for a $3 up charge which was offensive- especially because they were not flavorful nor cheesy. The lamb was overcooked and I was served an offensively small portion. The jus was bland and almost insulting. My partner ordered the tuna and it was as he remembered, delicious. We skipped dessert because other diners were also as displeased with portions, flavors and experience. We asked them to call us a taxi, 25 minutes later I asked for an update and three confused men stared back at me. The menu is tired and boring, the portions shrinking, prices raised, and overall this place rests on its location which isn’t even impressive especially in winter when sun sets before I’d even consider dinner. I won’t be returning and suggest you save your money. A lot of these previously patroned restaurants have seen their hay day… time to close up...
