Happy hour in mid October: We stopped by for happy hour and had such a great time. The food was seriously delicious, and we were especially into the crush puppies and the fish entree. We split a tray of the fish of the day, which was amazing--super tender, perfectly seasoned, and the sauce was light and just right. The fish melted in my mouth. I was so happy with my choice of cocktail. Their version of Aperol spritz is better than the original one if you're into mildly sweet cocktails. For dessert, we went with the deconstructed cheesecake, and it did not disappoint. It had this tangy, yogurt-like flavor (kind of like Chobani) with walnuts and cranberry jam, but way more elevated and refined. I loved it! Everything from start to finish was spot-on, including our extremely friendly waiter, Alejandro, making for a perfect happy hour.

I was happy to third-wheel with best friend and her bf because the food was just so good! The surrounding area is so cute and this place is a big reason why! The vibes are immaculate and there was so much care put into the details here, especially with respect to Florida lore. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly too. I highly recommend stopping by if you're lucky enough to get a res!

You'll want to give yourself a little extra time to park when arriving here, as you'll likely need to do either street parking or head to a nearby garage on Jake street. Street parking is a bit limited. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It has a very nice ambiance inside and there's music played that fits the theme of the restaurant, but it's at a volume level where it's enjoyable and allows you to have conversations with your fellow diners. The service is fantastic. Servers are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. So service is not a thing to worry about here. The food, overall, is good with a few great items. The crush puppies, made with blue crab, Florida sweet corn and green goddess, were delicious and a definite must try for an appetizer. The crab cake that I had seemed to lack seasoning. It also had a side of watermelon rind that didn't add anything to the dish in my opinion. I'd skip this one. They've got a larger selection of seafood items, and one that I did like was their mussels. So two go-tos are their mussels and their crush puppies. I also like their Salmon Crudo, The fish was tender, delicious and well-seasoned. For my mains, I had their prime flank with bearnaise sauce and fries. The steak was good, but not great. It felt slightly tough, but I did order it cooked medium, which may have led to that. Normally, steak is quite flavorful all by itself, but not in this case. It tastes good, but not that flavorful on its own. If you add the sauce, it compensates for this. This is the rare case where a steak needs a sauce. For dessert, I had their banana bread pudding. I've gotten used to restaurants treating desserts as an afterthought, but this one was ok. It tasted more like banana bread than it did pudding. It lacked the moistness and consistency associated with a pudding. Granted, it was a banana bread pudding, but it still lacked the pudding portion in my view. They compensate for this by adding ice cream to the dish, but it doesn't quite make up for it. So, overall, the food is good and the service is fantastic. Would I come here again? Yes. There's a lot more of their menu left to try. Their stronger points seem to be on the seafood side, so I'd order from that end when you go. The drink selection is also fabulous. My table ordered a honey infused drink and a sangria that were both good. It's a solid restaurant and I recommend trying it.

Went for Magical Dining with a friend recently and it was alright. The salad was my favorite part of the dinner. I ordered the Caesar with anchovies on the side, the Rainbow Trout, and then the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. The server did tell us there were no sides to the fish, so I was aware and still ordered it. It was fine, but would have preferred even just a veggie or something to go with it as it was a lot of just one thing. The Peanut Butter Pie was very rich and I could only eat a very small portion of it. Service was pretty slow, and it didn't seem super busy, but I also didn't pay attention to how many tables our server had. They were super nice when they were at our table though. I'm not sure I would go back for food again, but the atmosphere is fantastic so maybe for some drinks at the bar.

Came here for birthday dinner! Everything was perfect, the staffs are attentive and recommended dishes we can shared within the table. The service is excellent, for any occasion they will make you feel so special!! Highly recommend the calamari and crush puppies to share. Flank steak was decent as well. The entries will come with side of fries and you can upgrade your side:) Such a romantic and nice dinner place. Would love to try their happy hour!!

Osprey - Magical Dining I had not been to the Osprey in Baldwin Park in a couple of years and the most recent visits were for happy hour or brunch, which were both great. This visit was no exception and I'd highly recommend it. The area is hard to secure parking as you have to find a parking lot without restrictions or park on the street. It's directly across from Seito Sushi, another fave of ours. This occasion we arrived in time to hit happy hour and magical dining (always a goal of mine!). They have a solid happy hour with several apps and great drinks too. We selected the crab fries, 2 fish tacos and the French onion dip. The fries were so good but quite heavy, so keep that in mind - best to have at least a few people sharing them. The tacos - I only had a bite and saved for later because they were super stuffed and I had a big meal coming. That fish was so fresh and incredible. The onion dip - I haven't had one this good - it was made with crème fresh and actual onions lol. It was hard to stop eating and a very large portion too. We took home a lot of this. For our MD apps, we both had the creamy clam chowder. It was adequately seasoned and quite good. The mains were the rainbow trout - the entire fish - and Prime flank. The trout was flakey and cooked so perfectly that it was divine. Huge portion and took almost all of it home. It was just as good the next day. The steak was delicious. We have had more filet recently so it was not the same but excellently prepared and seasoned. The hollandaise was wow. I ended up using that for my eggs the next morning. For the dessert, the cheesecake and the chocolate peanut butter 'pie' were both delicious. They were both prepared in a glass dish. I would order all of this again!!!! The service was excellent from start to finish by Amanda and her team.

Finally got to try happy hour here! We walk by all the time and never made time for it, but I'm so glad we did! The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, and even sitting at the bar would be a great time. They luckily had walk up seating available on Thursday despite Magical Dining crowds, and our server was attentive and kind. Since we were mainly here for happy hour, we decided on the crab fries and steak frites from that menu, which were perfect happy hour portions and all tasty! The homemade fries were excellent. Although small, the HH drink menu had something for all of us, with a shoutout to the daiquiri as a great cocktail. We also figured we'd get some dessert - why not?! We split the pie and the sundae, and both were delightful. The pie came out as my favorite as a chocolate lover, but both were great to split with friends. I can't wait to come back!

I have always enjoyed the osprey, especially for dessert and dad jokes. We went to enjoy magical dining and we sure did enjoy it. The food was impeccable and the staff was great. I really enjoy the low lighting at night and decor, it feels elegant, yet homey.
