Restaurant Review: Szmanias


As promised here is my review of Szmanias in Magnolia.

What I drank and ate:

Mimosa
Fruit Plate with Almond Honey Cream
Halibut

The mimosa was good but it's pretty hard to mess up a mimosa. Unless the juice is horrible or something.

The fruit plate was fresh, well presented and the almond honey cream complemented the fruit very nicely. The cream wasn't overwhelming and it added a touch of sweetness.

The Halibut was beautifully presented. The dish has some purples, reds, and white in its presentation that sounds a bit odd for lunch but it was beautiful. I wish I had a photo to show you internet. And it was delicious.

The fish was at a perfect temperature and very tender and I could really taste the lemon flavor but it didn't overwhelm it. The potatoes (that looked a bit purple) were a perfect portion and again, really tingled my tastebuds.

The staff was wonderful, the atmosphere friendly and warm, and the food was delicious. The price point is a little out of my normal budget but worth it for a great date night or another memorable brunch. I definitely treated myself that day.

Overall I give Szmanias four Spaceneedles.


I would recommend it and would love to go back again.
