| - We decided to go to Magnus even after having heard that there had recently been an ownership and/or menu change. Although I was disappointed with the fact that my favorite appetizer (sushi tuna with seaweed salad) didn't survive the recent changes, it didn't make any difference. Everything we ate and the wine that we drank was outstanding. I had the rainbow trout, my girlfriend had the tuna steak, my dad had the kobe steak, and my friend had the duck. Everything was better than the last. The kobe steak melted in your mouth, and every entrée was infused with delicious flavors and accompanied by delightful sauces. We also had raw oysters that my girlfriend, who is an oyster lover, claimed were the best she has ever had. Take all of this and mix a romantic atmosphere complete with live jazz music, we left with big smiles on our faces.
As we were leaving and complimenting the waiter about our experience, he warned us that the owners are planning on changing the menu and direction of the restaurant. It sounds like they are going to drop the high-end gourmet menu sometime in January, 2010, but the head chef will be the same. It sounds like things have gotten slow during the economic recession and the owners are tired of the gourmet market. I am very saddened by this and hope they change their mind. I highly recommend going to Magnus before the change not only to experience its brilliance before it's gone, but also to hopefully to encourage the owners to change their minds.
