I think it’s a great place if you have comps, can’t say I’d recommend if paying full rack. I play a ton of video poker there and had $900 in food comps, and eating $20-$30 at a time at magnolias and Chicago brewery doesn’t make a dent.
With that said, wife’s king crab legs was very generous portion for $90, but that includes table side salad and choice of potatoes and some veggies. They also give you chocolate covered strawberries and apricots at the end. So the prices are essentially full meals. My rack of lamb was great (maybe $50?) lobster bisque starter pretty good. Shrimp Cocktail wasn’t good (bit over cooked).
Definitely get a Manhattan or martini as I mentioned - drinks were great and good value.
Next time we go I’m going to get a seafood tower, drinks and table side cherries jubilee and skip the entrees - they won’t let you get dessert at the bar but they told me my plan was fine in the dining room. I feel like I can get better steaks downtown.
