The next time you are looking for a friendly, relaxing spot for lunch, dinner, a snack or a drink, try the new Maguire’s.

From owner, Jerry Conway, to hostess, Fran, you will get attentive service. The bar and restaurant have separate entrances and with the large French doors  that open onto Bell Boulevard, the restaurant side has a continental flavor.

Currently (through June 16) there are “Grand Opening dinner specials” for $13.95 which are complete meals with soup or salad, a choice of entrees, dessert and tea or coffee. Entrees featured include a 10 oz. Filet Mignon, Filet of Salmon or Stuffed Chicken Marsala served with a choice of both a potato and a vegetable dish. A great bargain!

Upon being seated, we ordered a drink and a beer from the unusually complete beer menu. It being a Monday, the “$2 tap special all day” was in effect so we had a Killian’s Red (plus a refill). There are other “Ale House Week” specials on the menu so, come often and enjoy all of them.

For the first course we had a nice house salad with blue cheese dressing on the side. Then we ordered the Stuffed (with sausage, celery and bread crumbs) Chicken Marsala served smothered in a rich mushroom gravy topping. The baked potato and the string beans were our choices.

From the menu’s list of Traditional Favorites, we tried the Beer Battered Fish & Chips. It was an excellent choice. The “chips” were interesting, curly fried potatoes and the “fish” were two large, crispy, coated pieces of sole accompanied by cole slaw and tartar sauce ($9.95). Lunches offer a complete selection from appetizers to soups and salads and an assortment of burgers (Cajun, Pizza topped, Mexican etc.) and sandwiches from Grilled cheese to the classic Reuben.

Desserts are daily specials. The evening we visited, it was a rich, warm pecan pie topped with whipped cream and served with a big mug of freshly-made coffee.

The food is well prepared, served in generous portions and reasonably priced. With its good service and a well-stocked bar, this is a good, new spot to enjoy dining out.
