Magie at the Magie Car Second invitations to restaurants are getting to be a habit, and last week we returned to the Magie Car at 145 Kng Street West in Oshawa. Our hast for the evening was one of the partners, Nick Palladino, and he made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. ýWe were ushered to a table by a very charming young waitress by the name of Michele and no one could ask for more at- tention than she gave us during the evening. For openers, Michele brought us a bottie of Vin de la paix, which is a very smooth red California wine. Joy or- dered the Teriyaka chieken with baked potato. For dessert she had homemade carrot cake with hot sauce. I stayed with the old faithful and had a small New York sirloin with baked potato and it was delicious as far as bath of us were concerned. Nick and his partner, Maârk Valliere took over the Magie Car a lîttie over two years ago, and since assuming owner- ship, have turned it into one of the most popular dining places- in Oshawa for bath lunch and dinner hours. The decor as you may know is made Up of variaus items pertaining to the auto industry, dating back a few years ago. You'll find it bath pleasing and in- teresting. Nick told us that he and Mark are after the family market and with this in mind put a lot of ef fort into Sunday Brunch which yau can have for only $5.95. This gives you quite a selec- tion. There is the salad bar, and chaice, of Hip of beef, scrambled eggs, Swedish vegetables, breakfast sausages, peameal bacon, dessert table, tea or coffee, juice and muffins. During Sunday Brun- ch which is served from 10 a.m. ta 2 p.m. there are two magicians wan- dering around among the tables performing their tricks. The children and aduits alike, get a real kick out df this and it has becomne an extremely popular feature at the Magie Car. By the way, dinner is served from 4 to 9 p.m. and an weekends you wauld be wise to phone ahead and make reservations. The lounge at the Magic Car is being renovated ta a piano lounge, and Nick tells us they have been loaking for some goad local talent ta play here. During dinner there will be soft music and then, if yau care ta, you can go into the lounge and enjay a drink and the music from a baby grand piano. Nick told us that business has increased by 40 per cent, since he and Mike taok over. He attributes the growth ta consistency in the quality of the food, at- mosphere and assuring the patrons of good ser- vice. He has noticed that many people return again and again. The prices at the Magie Car are very reasanable and a young couple could have a very enjayable evening out for less than $40.00. We can readily put the Magie Car an aur list of the better spots to dine in Durham Region.
