I had made birthday reservations at a club i'll refer to as "Les Don't" months before my actual birthday (dec. 26). Reservations were made, invitations were handed out, I made my very own dress, everything was ready for that night-or so i thought. Three days before the party, the club manager notifies me (via e-mail) they are going to be closed that day. (!!!!!) I nearly died. What now?! I had a party of 12 or so and no where to go. Well after a long harsh e-mail to that manager. I felt like saying "I'm sorry I'm not coming with my BFF Lindsay Lohan, maybe then you would of noticed my e-mails...". I dont know why but I remembered Magnolia, from my Blackbook and remember I wanted to go there. I thought please be open. Please!! I called Magnolia from Disneyland (of all places), got the number off their website (which was helpful & cute) and made my reservations just like that!! They were soo nice. I also asked if they had a corkage fee and they said "yes, they did ($15)" and they even let me bring in my Dots cupcakes i had ordered. I already was happy and I wasnt even there yet. Well the night of my birthday was even better!! I was last to arrive, all my guests were already seated in a lovely long stretch table, the ambiance was perfect I couldnt have planned it better, dim lighting was nice, a very chill vibe. Our waitress Chelsea, was the best!! Someone give her a raise!! She was soo nice, friendly and had a wonderful personality! I never had to ask for more water or more champagne--she was on it! And our food came very quickly, practically all at the same time! And for a party of 11 that was fast. Food was great. I ordered the chicken sandwich with a salad and blue cheese (chelsea even brought me the krumbled kind too!) And last but not least, Chelsea even melted a candle to the plate, so not to ruin my cupcake :) All in all my 22nd birthday turned out to be a success!! All thanks to Magnolia and Chelsea!!
Pros: great service (ask for Chelsea!), great atmosphere, not celebrity exposed
Cons: you might drive by it! the sign may be a little hard to see.
