I was trying to find a place in Tracy that was a bit more upscale than the regular chains and have found it. A place that you can dress up a little and have a great meal. Well people in Tracy really don't frequent these places often and they will still show up in Flip Flops. WTF? The staff looked... More

I ordered the halibut, but was served pollock. It was thin, mealy, and gray in color. The waiter assured me it was halibut and even brought out the shipping invoice to prove it. I grew up in Alaska. I know halibut when it is front of me! I wasnt making a scene or anything, and they took the meal off... More

Reviews really help when you aren't familiar with a town and its restaurants. We were on our way home from Lake Tahoe and decided to eat dinner at Magellan's. At first we didn't know if they were open since the shades were down on the windows and the entrance was not obvious from the street. My husband, adult daughter and... More

Where does Magellan's get their beef? Their filet mignon is as good as Ruth's Chris at 30% savings. The service has always been excellent and the owner is very warm and accommodating. We eat there very often at least once every month to six weeks.

If you are looking for a restaurant where you get prompt, personal service and great food, you do not have to look any further. My husband and I shared the calamari appetizer and each had a martini. The calamari was crispy and the martini freezing cold. We shared the parmesan salad. I had the salmon rigatoni and he had the... More

Fresh, flavorful food with nice presentation, great service in a quiet, romantic setting. Full bar. Tomas Magellan is personable and treats his customers like friends and family. Full bar and very nice selection of premium wines. A wonderful gem in Tracy.

We like Magellan's as a place to dine.It makes for a romantic and relaxing evening. We go for special events and sometimes just for lunch. The food is good, the service excellent and it clearly is run by people who care. It is not cheap. If you want cheap go to a chain, but it is not super expensive either.... More

Have heard that Magellan's was the place to go during my previous visits to the area but had not tried it until this evening! The food and service was beyond expectations for an area not known for fine cuisine. The ambiance was warm and inviting and the staff made you feel very welcome. Heather (name of my server) was knowledgeable... More
