We retired to high desert 6 years ago. This was our main place to eat and dance to some of the bands. Says temporarily closed. I clicked website link and it says grand reopening soon! I subscribed to the email. We go back down to visit our adult children but not usually spend the night. This week we were so checked the website. I subscribed to the email to see when it if/will reopen. I will post back if it does.

Sadly, the Magic Lamp Inn has closed their doors for good. What a historical place it is too...

Had made reservations far in advance of an Anniversary. Was looking forward to two specific menu items, Chateaubriand and table side Cherries Jubilee. Called maybe 9x during the week prior to the time and date for reservations. Went to recording. Used website and made online reservations. Got autobot acknowledgement. Tried following up with more phone calls. Just recording. So we took a chance and drove out only to find yellow tape across entry and notice of change of notice ownership liquor license notice posted. So....parties are not paying attention or just don't care. Fortunately our Plan B two blocks away was awesome and saved the day.

I was doing repairs on the stained glass windows. This place is huge. And super nice inside. There doing general maintenance and revamping. Won't be open for another 2 to 3 months. Excited to see it back in full force.

Never had a more juicy steak. As I took a bite a waterfall of excellent juiciness flowed into the basin that is my mouth. And I've never been able to find a steak like this since. This was the best filet mignon I'd ever tried and a good first time trying medium rare.

We absolutely love the magic lamp restaurant. Great food, great menu, great prices. It is so beautiful and nostalgic. A part of socal history. have been coming here for over 50 years. I hope they never change a thing

A extremely disappointing experience. We came to celebrate my Mother in laws 82 birthday, my father in law has passed and this was one of thier places they would go so we thought it would a great option for a celebration. First waiter had no idea what Wiskey was used in their old fashion and he told me Jack Daniel's, ummm no thank you and they had no blender to make a margarita, Actually had to get up and speak with the bar tender and it was actually served with 2giners. Host refilled two out of three of the diet cokes on table and had to get her attention to refill the 3rd 15 mins. later. After ordering food it took 1.5 hours for our food to arrive and before making it to our table, waiter stopped at two other tables to drop off Birthday cake. Food arrived cold, not even luke warm. All 6 dinners were cold. The restaurant was not busy there were 6 tables counting our table and that was it. We will never go back, extremely disappointing as we use to love the Magic Lamp.
Wow! This place is amazing! And, the food was delicious! If you are looking for a hidden gem, you found it! It's timeless, classic and the staff is incredible, especially Scott. He was great! He really added a 5-star quality to our experience. If you're looking for a red-carpet experience, ask for Scott. You'll feel like you've hit the jackpot!

Excellent service! Nice live music on the weekend and some of the best wines I have taste

This was the first time me and my wife have ever been there. And it was amazing. We were greeted right away and our server Scott was very attentive. We had a very nice and romantic dinner. We will definitely be looking forward to going here again.

Sold out of prime rib, "we didn't expect it to be this busy",Beef stroganoff was tasteless and completely overpriced. I didn't even finish my plate I was so over it.(you would think the waiter would ask if something was wrong with my food seeing how much I didn't eat) but that didn't happen because he was a ghost until it was time to bring the check.At some point what looked to be the hostess cleared a few plates.I overheard a worked say they are lucky to get 20 tables a night it's usually so slow.I would not return here.The bar was really busy, 1 bartender. Karaoke had the older crowd up and dancing!

Old school place for ambience of cocktails and dining. Delightful dining with local soft jazz saxophonist the evening we attended. Our staff were determined to provide extra service camaraderie with being short shift staffing to provide seasonal merriment.
