Magic Lamp Inn

Was my first time here and the experience was truly magical! The ambiance (which is important to me) is like an old fashioned steakhouse with red leather seats and WARM lighting - perfect for date night. Ooo sexy time! To drink ;) I ordered a dirty magic martini that has gin, onion, and olive. Who’s a dirty girl?! To eat ;)) we ordered the shrimp bisque, bone marrow, prime rib (only avail on Fri and Sat btw), and the scallops. Everything tasted divine! To top it all off, there was a live Elvis performer who was also alive and also amazing. He really was bringing sexy back… YEAH! I’m just gonna say it… I think you all should come here. It’s really fun and you’re gonna like the way you look. I guarantee it! ;)))

First time visit and our dinner experience was absolutely wonderful. We were seated almost immediately and enjoyed a cozy table for two. Love the illuminated menus. Alfonso was our server and was very attentive and gracious throughout. Our meal was so delicious. Started with a wedge salad and my filet mignon was cooked to perfection. My husband’s porterhouse would’ve been perfect as well, except it was a little too medium well for his taste (he ordered medium rare). My lemon drop martini was amazing too! We were also pleasantly surprised at how reasonable our check was and our meal included drinks and desert! We loved everything about this very cool, old school steakhouse and we will definitely be back!

We were here to celebrate the day we met here 20 years ago. What a beautiful place. We were pleased with the atmosphere, the food was excellent, and the service was absolutely superb! From the hostess, the bartenders, and the service staff...they all made our evening one to remember. We promise not to wait another 20 years to come back. We highly recommend an evening at The Magic Lamp Inn.

If you have ever driven by and thought about coming but never have please do yourself a favor and make a reservation, dress up , and prepare to be thoroughly impressed. The staff are amazing and the decor is very classy. Our food was perfect and the drinks were amazing. I want to rent a room and live here. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food great service and wonderful entertainment. Bravo Magic Lamp.

We drove an hour and a half for dinner after hearing great things about this place, and it did not disappoint. With over 30 years of history and now under wonderful new ownership, the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the live music was fantastic, and the crowd had great energy. We loved the complementary vegetable medley appetizer and the lighted menus were amazing so my mom didn’t need to put on her glasses. Our filet mignon and sea bass were perfectly cooked, and the French onion soup was delicious. The martinis were excellent, and the service was top-notch. After dinner, we wandered into the magical garden on the side, filled with beautiful statues, a full bar, and amazing lighting that made the whole space feel enchanting. Highly recommend!

Had a magical time at the magic lamp. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and everyone was so personable. The entertainment was also amazing. I wouldn’t have wanted to spend our special dinner anywhere else. Drink were 10/10 and so was dinner. Thank you to the staff for making our dinner so special. We can’t wait to bring the rest of the family with us next time.

I had cucumber/Jalepeno at the bar … It was amazing and the staff there was very open to all of us. We waited for 10 min for table. I ordered the Shrimp Bisque the best I have ever had. Our waiter Mr Alfonso helped us in our Decision to make our dinner extra special. The Chef Pedro came to make sure our dinner was up to our expectations. Us four friends get together once a month to try many steak dinner places and The Magic Lamp Rancho Cucamonga we rate as number #1compared to many. Thank you Manager for checking up to make sure our dinner was what we expected.

My husband and I had our wedding reception here during Covid. Sadly at the time it seemed like its glory days were over, but tonight we came back to celebrate our five year anniversary and I was overjoyed to see it had been restored to its original beauty. Every detail from the backlit menus, live music, and food were incredible. This place is so special and it’s amazing to see it is being cared for the way it deserves.

Memorable experience from start to finish! The old Hollywood vibe was stunning, cocktails were spot-on, and service was excellent. Our ribeye was perfection, and the live singer made the night unforgettable. Can't wait to come back!

Such a gem of a place, walking in to saxophone playing. Food was great and the drink delicious. Definitely will be back !

The service was exceptional and the hood was outstanding. We sat in the lounge where a saxophone player was entertaining the guests. It was not loud, just background music. I will come back, as the experience was great and inviting.

Amazing everything! The spot was great before and after the remodeled! Good looking manager !

A Magical Experience Every Time!** I absolutely love The Magic Lamp! Each visit feels like stepping into a beautiful, romantic time capsule that perfectly captures the essence of the 1960s. The recent remodel is stunning, and they've managed to maintain that classic vibe that makes this place so special. From the captivating magic shows to the nostalgic live old Vegas-style music performances, there's never a dull moment. It's the perfect spot for a date night or a fun outing with friends. Now, let's talk about the food and drinks! The prime rib was cooked to perfection--so tender and flavorful! And the drinks? Simply divine! They complement the ambiance perfectly. If you're looking for a unique dining experience that combines great entertainment with delicious food, The Magic Lamp is a must-visit. I can't wait for my next magical evening there!

Absolutely amazing atmosphere and phenomenal food. The service was top-notch--friendly, attentive, and professional. To make it even better, there was a live Sinatra singer setting the perfect mood for the evening. They feature live music every night, which takes the whole experience to another level. Do yourself a favor and check this place out--you can thank me later. Come hungry, stay for the music, and live the experience!

I celebrated my birthday here with family and had a really great time! The hostess was incredibly sweet and courteous, greeting us upon entry and allowing us to explore the beautiful space while they added some special last touches to the table, such as balloons courtesy of the restaurant. They had a live jazz singer in the lounge while we enjoyed our meal and he was incredible - singing Sinatra, Anka, and more. It really added to the sophisticated ambiance. Appreciated that the menus light up (literally) when you open them so you can enjoy the natural ambience of the dimly lit space without whipping a phone out for light. It's a very thoughtful touch. All our drinks and food were delicious; we enjoyed every last morsel and were even served cheesecake for dessert to celebrate! Amy was such an attentive, professional server and we loved everything about our experience here. Always love a Clearman's spot and will be excited to come back for more special occasions when I visit home. HIGHLY recommend The Magic Lamp Inn!

The inside is so nice and great service. Very upscale. Food is delicious. We also checked out the garden and it was so beautiful!

By far my favorite restaurant! The ambiance is so welcoming and comfortable -- it really sets the tone for a great meal. The food was absolutely delicious, and the customer service is unmatched. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. I can't wait to come back!

We came here last week for my birthday and it was everything! The service from the moment we walked in was wonderful. The hostess, our waitress to the entertainment. The place is very nostalgic like old mob boss Al Capon-ish. There was a live singer and she was so good and so cute! I had the lobster and it was huge and delicious. My husband had the Ribeye which was huge and the shrimp. I recommend this restaurant for the style and ambiance alone but the food was very well prepared. I can't wait to go again!!! Pricey like any other upscale steak restaurant but with more charm and appeal! Go now!

I love the building and how it's decorated it's definitely a vibe, it's low lighting, and romantic and has live entertainment. The food was delicious, we ordered a variety of things and they were all good. Our service was a little slow, but our server had a great personality so no complaints. It definitely looks amazing since reopening and revamping everything. Definitely worth visiting.

I decided to take my BF to a fancy restaurant for his birthday. I knew he'd like an old skool place with lots of rich wood, romantic mood lighting, stain glass, old standards on rotation, and a songstress We dined on chicken and mash potatoes; and pasta primavera with chicken; and tiramisu. It's the perfect place for a romantic date, birthday, or anniversary. It's not cheap I spent a $100 for two, but it was worth it, the BF was impressed

The food was amazing! I had the Filet mignon medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The service was good and the ambiance was amazing. We came to celebrate my birthday and they do complimentary cheese cake and a magician and they have amazing live music. Very romantic and perfect for any special occasion. They have a beautiful magic garden in the back and the decor is very cute. I had been there before they remodeled and I will definitely be back and recommend.

Came here for our anniversary dinner with my boyfriend and it did not disappoint! We made the reservations pretty last minute but there were still plenty of spots opened on a weekday. I love how exclusive and attention to detail everything is here. They are very specific on the attire of guests that arrive. There was a couple who wanted to spot by their bar for drinks but were turned away because they were in shorts and a tshirt. The food was great and nicely presented. I tried their alcoholic lemon drop beverage and it was delicious! Their shrimp bisque was very creamy and delicious as well. I really enjoyed the steak paired with the cream corn. We also tried the tequila pasta with chicken which we were not too fond of. The atmosphere of the restaurant feels very homey and warm...they also have live entertainment! Edward was very nice and came to each table to greet us and welcome us which was so lovely!

Great atmosphere, filet was wonderful very tender & delicious fresh drinks. We had the old fashioned and berry lemon drop. Amazing service as well!

After 29 years Finally visited. They do their thing very well. Good food, excellent service, a perfect nostalgic vibe.

Unbelievable.... such a rad throwback venue.. the meals, the beverages , the service, the live entertainment.. all great.. hope to come back soon.. Airline Chicken and the Chilean sea bass was to die for!!! 5 stars

This place is most definitely a vibe. Feels so vintage and unique. Every corner is picturesque and something different going on. Friday thru Sunday is definitely the time to go. They have entertainment like a magician walking around or a Frank Sinatra impersonator singing. With that being said some seating feels more premium because you're closer to the action. I didn't love the corner we were place in as it felt too far from anything. Our service was good and the staff were friendly overall. If I was eating only the food and just the food I would say 3 stars. The food is good but for the price point I'm expecting excellent. We had appetizers like the bone marrow which was delicious but the bacon jam was a little sweet. The complimentary bread was lovely though along with the veggies was a truly nice touch. We shared a lot of our food since the size of the entree was rather large. You can definitely share a lot if you're looking to try multiple items. The steak was cooked perfectly along with the fixings. The star was definitely the lobster Mac n cheese. The food again was good but for the price point you're paying for the extras like the ambiance. This is a place you come to for a special occasion and would I come back on a random Friday probably not but would I bring my loved ones on a special occasion yes. The parking lot is fairly big so you won't have to worry about finding a spot and overall you will enjoy yourself as it's an experience as much as it is a meal. Also note they have a dress code so plan accordingly. It also adds to the experience so do dress nice.

Amazing service and amazing drinks !! Food is on point and we will be coming back for more! Amy our server was amazing service

First thing I thought when I walked through the door is what a beautiful ambiances restaurant has a taste of elegance the host was very graceful and polite very clean..And a beauty for your eyes to see. In additional to all this, they have live music, beautiful and graceful. And delightful to the ears! I've had their lychee and french martini the best i've had.. The food is five stars across perfectly cooked delicious, favorable extraordinary would definitely come back again. Thank you. Magic lamp for this beautiful night.!!!

Come for anniversary dinner. Great food and ambiance. Would definitely be coming back. The Frank Sinatra singer was amazing.

Ambiance, aesthetic, service, and food -- absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was magical and welcoming. The décor is thoughtful and immersive, giving you that perfect blend of elegance and wonder. The service was top-notch -- attentive without being overbearing, and every staff member made the experience feel special. And the food? Delicious! Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and exceeded my expectations. We not only had a fun magic show at our table but enjoyed listening to Sinatra! Just perfect!

Wow, wow, wow..... Decided to try something new for our fifth wedding anniversary. We chose the magic lamp inn because of the photos and reviews. And after our meal, we decided we made a great choice. Especially after the chef, Pedro came out to check and see if we enjoyed the steak. Lynn our server was excellent and very attentive. Thank you, magic lamp inn.... See you again soon.

Been wanting to try this place for years. My wife and I would drive by it and say we should go there sometime. We'll finally that time had come. We walked in to meet friendly hostesses. We had a reservation to celebrate my wife's birthday. She asked us to wait by the bar while they got our table ready. We notices a lounge with a lavishly dressed piano tickling the ivory while we enjoyed our cocktails. A few minutes later. They sat us at a nice table with Ballon decorations which was a sweet touch for my wife's bday. We noticed they had an Elvis impersonator the man was electric kept moving and grooving the whole time we were there. Belting out such classics as Viva Las Vegas to Can't help Falling in love. He was great! Now on to the meal. They started us off with a complimentary veggie medly. Then we started off the bone marrow it was so buttery and delicious. And pan seared pork belly in bourbon sauce so deeelish. Now on to the entrees, I got the bone in ribeye and she had the porterhouse. Both cooked to perfection. We had lobster mac and cheese and garlic honey roasted mash potatoes. Deeeeeelish! The cocktails were on point and Elvis came and greeted us at our table to end the night. It was such and amazing experience we will definitely be back for Sinatra night. Thank you Magic Lamp Inn

The Magic Lamp is a classic steak-house fine dining experience unique to Southern California located on historic Route 66 in Rancho Cucamonga. The ambiance and decor is exactly what you would expect for the likes of the Rat Pack and old-Hollywood types to call home. Service is exceptional, we were greeted by the hostess Anna and although my reservation had gone from 2 to 4 guests, she accommodated us graciously. My guests and I were treated to an exceptionally talented Frank Sinatra impersonator who crooned the evening away in his full tuxedo. During dinner service we were also treated to some close-up magic because, why not? We ARE at the Magic Lamp! He just blew us away with his sleight-of-hand talents. Our cocktails were perfect and dinner was great. 16oz New York and lobster tail did not disappoint. Definitely will return to celebrate special occasions or for a special treat.

My husband and I ate here for our wedding anniversary and we loved it!! The filet mignon I ordered was so tender I could cut it with a fork. The service was impeccable and the shrimp bisque was a star on the menu. We loved the ambiance and live singing. Will definitely be back!

This was our very first time eating here, and it did not disappoint! My girlfriend and I are homegrown locals who have always talked about coming, and we're so glad we finally made it. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance of cozy and special, exactly what we were hoping for on our night out. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy we were there, which made the whole experience even better. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor--it's clear that care and creativity go into the menu. You can tell why regulars rave about this place. We also appreciated the thoughtful details, from the way our drinks were served to how perfectly timed the courses came out. As locals, it feels great to support a spot that not only lives up to the hype but also makes you proud to recommend it to friends and family. We'll definitely be back, and next time we're bringing more people with us. If you've been on the fence about trying this place, don't wait as long as we did!

What a gem! My husband and I came to have dinner and had an amazing time. Service: Amazing! We had Lynn as our server Food: Excellent! We had the scallops and porter house and added lobster mac n cheese . Dessert: Baklava A la Mode Ambience: Takes you back to a different time. We saw a magician doing live magic at tables as well as a talented Frank Sinatra impersonator. We will be back!

May I just say this place is just beautiful. From the ambiance to the food, it's just perfect. Service is wonderful, the live music is such a great addition that you don't get at most places. Such a gem!

My darling husband surprised me by taking me to the Magic Lamp did my Birthday. We were greeted by name. It's got that old school charm with a piano player and a lovely singer named Wendy. The menus light up! No phones please. The food is amazing. Tuna tower, pear salad, Sea bass and New York Steak. Our server Amy was very kind and suggested a wine pairing for the salad course and dinner course. I would show you our meals but they were delicious.

Absolutely loved this place! The Magic Lamp has such a beautiful, romantic vibe, and perfect for a date night. The drinks were amazing, and the garden in the back felt like a hidden little magic spot. Definitely coming back!

First I'll start off with the ambiance, 5-star! Clean, friendly, and nostalgic. From the Elvis impersonator to the Saxophone player to the friendly staff (something so rare now days). Second, I'll tell you about the food, Filet Mignon was better than any other steak I've had in my life! 100/10! As for the drinks, I had The Golden Hour. It was sweet, but not too sweet. Lastly, dessert is on its way, but I don't put it past 10/10.

Lived in Upland for 10 years and finally made it here. Definitely has great ambiance and decor. It's what you would expect from a place that has been around since 1955. The food is a throwback to your classic steak house from the past, great service and good food. We came in a Saturday night and they had a wonderful singer performing classic lounge music. I ordered the prime rib but unfortunately they were out, that was a bit of a bummer since they only have it on Fridays and Saturdays. I ended up with the rib eye instead, I ordered it med rare, it was perfectly cooked. Our overall experience was good, for a night it definitely was a blast from the past in a good way.

This is my new favorite restaurant and so worth the drive from ! It's so magical and like a Disneyland for adults! Everything is 5/5 stars here - the cocktails, food, ambiance, service. I had the Golden Hour cocktail which was smoky sweet, the perfect accompaniment to the interior of the restaurant. Their food was so good too! The filet mignon and the sea bass were too notch! I love the crispy crust on the fish and the soft flaky inside. So perfectly cooked! The interior is cozy lodge meets Americana. Think Magic Castle vibes, feels very exclusive too. Photos of Marilyn Monroe matched the songstress' songs. She was singing by the cozy big fire place and took requests. They even had a magician who did some tricks tableside. He was amazing as well! And the menu?! How magical that it lights up! Good for us old people who can't see very well in dim light. :) The service was spectacular. Super friendly and accommodating! I can't wait to go back for more!

All the magic's in the lamp... not the kitchen The Magic Lamp Inn looks like the kind of place where you're about to have a legendary meal -- warm lighting, retro charm, a killer vibe, and live entertainment that sets the tone just right. The service? Absolutely on point. Our server was friendly, fast, and made the night feel special. Then came the food... and the "magic" kind of disappeared. Pun intended. The Old Fashioned was the real showstopper -- perfectly balanced and probably the best thing we had all night. Honestly, I'd come back just for the bar. But when your cocktail has more flavor than your entrée, something's off. We tried the prime rib and Chilean sea bass, both of which were begging for flavor, maybe a sauce for the sea bass and seasoning on the prime rib. For the price, I expected fireworks -- instead, it was more like a flickering candle. The sides were a mixed bag: the wedge salad was good but had barely any bacon, tomato, or onion (the holy trinity of wedge toppings!). The grilled asparagus and plated corn held their own, but the mashed potatoes and lobster mac and cheese? Flavor MIA. So yeah -- great service, fun atmosphere, amazing drinks... but the kitchen needs to find its spark. When you're paying steakhouse prices, the flavor shouldn't be playing hide-and-seek.

This place is just as magical on the inside as the outside makes it seem. The food was delicious. And the bartenders were very friendly as well as the wait staff and hostess. The manager/owner came by to check on us and make sure everything was ok. They did apologize for the long wait in our section as they were understaffed for the night. Wendy was the star of the night. She has the voice of an angel, very friendly and interacted with us many times. She kept us entertained and even though we had to wait a long while for our food she made it seem like it didn't take as long. Thank you Wendy for making my birthday celebration oh so special!

Having the best time, have been wanting to come and see for myself how great this place is... so here we are on our 10th anniversary.. Elvis is in the house!! Service is top notch, Jocelyn is thee best!! Ohhh and you need to meet Edward ... Thank you Magic Lamp Inn we had a wonderful anniversary dinner. Atmosphere is perfect.

Okay!.. the real deal? YES the Magic Lamp IS THE REAL DEAL. Truly an elevated experience, If you're looking to be transported to an established venue of class and ambience. THIS is where you make your debut, from the gas lit Lamp on the exterior of historic 66 to the elevated transportation of glow , and decadence with in its interior. prepare yourself for an experience. YES , the cocktails arouse the pallet .. YES THE menu invites you to chin up and pridefully indulge. Make sure your attire speaks volumes as this domain deserves no less. You shall enjoy, and I don't speak this slightly. Forgetting to acknowledge the superior, staff and service would be the highest insult . From our greetings with Anna, who owns whatever room she graces, to our personal server Angelica, whom left to inquiries unanswered, or our desires unwanted without request.. Edward makes sure that your experience is guaranteed. I hope you enjoy as much as I did

The restaurant is beautiful: It looks festive like a Ritz-Carlton Christmas. The staff was very kind from the time we walked in. The wait staff, Alphonzo,f was very attentive and efficient. I absolutely loved the food. I had the Chilean sea bass. It was light and delicious. They spend a lot of money on entertainment: Elvis sang the entire time, a magician visited the table and was captivating.

This place is a blast from the past ... in a good way! Much of the restaurant is original...the light fixtures, the copper fire hood and brick are all original. It has amazing ambience. The cocktails are well made and the food is good. My husband has the Porterhouse and it was cooked to perfection. I had the Seabass, which was tender and cooked like fish should be cooked... melt in your mouth!

My wife and I are always hesitant to go out to eat because most restaurants are trash and use trash ingredients. We often leave disappointed feeling we could have made a better meal at home. This was not the case tonight. I can't even remember the last time I left a restaurant this satisfied! Our food tasted incredible, great flavor and our steak and chicken were cooked to perfection! Even the Cadillac margarita was spot on! The service was great also, our waitress was attentive and very sweet. The owner came out to check on us as well and they made our Anniversary feel like a big deal. Nothing special but they truly seemed to care about our experience. As a business owner I appreciate this very much. The restaurant is gorgeous, great vibes with the singer, and I appreciate the dress code! It made it feel like a true intimate night out. 10/10 if I could give that many stars. You won't regret coming here for a date night. The menu is pricey but it was worth every single penny. A top 5 all time restaurant experience for me personally.

Ate in bar area! Drink servers were beyond excellent. Taylor and Rebecca. Food was great. Great atmosphere.

Great ambiance and friendly and attentive staff, thank you Chrissy!!. I love how interactive this place was. They have a really cool light up menu, and trust me if you've ever been at a dimly lit "romantic" restaurant it is sooo hard to read those normal tiny print menus. Had the surf n turf, lobster Mac and cheese, and baked potato which was filling for two people to share! There's a cozy fireplace waiting area, live music, and during our time, a magician went around to some tables and did magic tricks which was very interactive. Be sure to dress up, this place has a dress code. Rather than seeing it as limiting, I think it's important to the vibe of the place and I recommend magic lamp inn as a nice dinner date spot!

Wonderful night! Great food! Amazing job with the remodel! It's beautiful in here! Excellent service....i can't wait to come back!!

This place truly lives up to the name, from the vintage vibes to the actual magician who came to our table and blew our minds with close-up tricks! Such a fun and unexpected touch. I had the filet mignon, and it was cooked perfectly, tender, juicy, and flavorful. The lemon drop cocktail was smooth, tart, and just strong enough to be dangerous. Service was great, the atmosphere was cozy and charming, and the whole experience felt like a treat. Definitely recommend for a special night out.

Had such a great Valentine's Day dinner here! My boyfriend made reservations for their special set menu, and the restaurant had such a cozy and dim light vibe. The decor was unique, and I loved the fireplace in the middle of the restaurant with a live singer performing. On the other side, there was a pianist playing live music, which added to the elegant atmosphere. There's also a small bar where you can grab a drink while you wait or just relax by the fireplace and enjoy the music. Everything felt very warm and inviting. Our server was great, and the food was delicious! The menu even lit up, which was such a cool touch. The bread was amazing, the French onion soup was super tasty, and the steak was flavorful and well-cooked. I'd love to come back on a regular night to try more of their menu. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'd definitely recommend it for a special occasion!

This past Saturday we roamed to the historic Route 66 landmark The Magic Lamp Inn Restaurant. I was, as usual with neon, delighted by their marvelous Aladdin lamp ‍ signage with the added pizzazz of fire snapping out of it. I could hardly contain my excitement just based on the outside structure, but once we got inside...Speechless. The elegance of Smokehouse Burbank except elevated (there's a dress code and I appreciate that...no studio execs in their flip flops here), and a charming twist of Clearman's North Woods Inn (which made sense when I learned the Clearman family transformed it after it had originally opened in 1955 as Lucy and John's Italian Restaurant). Retro vibe. Classy ambiance. Crafted cocktails. Fine dining, rolled out on a cart. We had top notch Prime Rib and Roasted Duck (the best the hubs has ever had). Red leather booths, gorgeous deep colored wood, stained glass windows, tiny table lamps, chandeliers...even a little complimentary veggie ramekin. There's a piano bar, with the life-size likenesses of the Rat Pack sitting around it. Nightly entertainment in the dining area (Elvis on our night). I am so deeply grateful when people come along and save iconic places like The Magic Lamp Inn. Please support that vision and restoration by patronizing this historic gem. They have also added an outdoor nightlife "garden" in the back. This is your place for everything from a happy hour drink to a superb full dining experience. "The Lamp is Lit Once Again. Ready to Relive the Magic?" Heck yes.

This place is amazing. First, the food was so delicious. Second, the live music was so special. We really loved it. The people who work here are so attentive and kind, they really wanted to make sure we had a good time since we'd never been here before. We are very happy and will definitely be coming back.

Free Parking! Elvis! A table-side magician! Great food! Fun decor! Go! go! go! Yelp says I have two write more.
