Tiny tables and food portions. Highly over priced. The menu states the servings are meant for sharing but that's not the case. Service was mediocre at best. I was drinking water and the glass was empty most of the time unless I asked. Food simply isnt that good. Its not bad, but its not great. Its average. 3 stars is generous.

Fresh ingredients make a big difference — you can taste it here.

Best restaurant in SA. Delicious; hip yet down to earth. My friend and I were actually giggling as we ate the pork belly and mushroom courses on this iteration of their menu. Bel was our waitress and just killed it w the suggestions. Can’t wait to see what the next menu brings. As I was leaving, I ran into a dear friend—we bonded over our shared love of our fave restaurant, Magpie. Also: try the corn fritter!

Absolutely loved our dinner at Magpie! The corn fritter had a sneaky spicy kick, the duck was rich and flavorful, and the ribeye was so tender my husband cut it with a butter knife—perfectly medium rare and outstanding. The bread was moist and delicious, and we couldn’t pick just one dessert, so we got both the moose and the buttercream cake. The cake was fresh, sweet, and our favorite! Service was great and the food came out like a tasting menu, perfectly timed. It’s a small space, so it did get a bit loud—definitely make a reservation. Worth it for the amazing food!

Food was great! They were understaffed at the time of our visit so expect to wait a little bit. We waited an hour and 30 mins in total (order, dish, desert, and check). Servers were great. I ordered the Cod today. the sear was an overdone and was under salted giving the dish a bitter overtone. The cod would have benefited a lot from some acid. I would recommend anyone coming to try the ribeye. 186$ total dinner desert appetizer and tip for 2 people.

Definitely a wine and tapas places. A lot of the food was drenched in oil but as others have mentioned, the butter cake and milk bread were good. Place seemed small and loud but we were also seated next to a drunk birthday party. Wine was good and their choices were extensive.

Everyone at the restaurant seemed to be a local which was a good sign. Every single fish was delicious. The bread was phenomenal. Other special dishes included the cabbage and the dak galbi chicken.

Definitely had a good experience at the place, but the food did not live up to the somewhat high expectations that I had of the restaurant from reading reviews before I went. Service was spectacular and the interior was great, but it was a bit crowded of a space. The presentation of the food was 5-star worthy, but the taste did not quite live up to that.

Great restaurant away the touristy downtown area. The food is outstanding and the smoked duck is a must, as are the mushrooms and ribeye. Be sure to leave room for the butter cake. I'm not a sweets person but it was small and decadent.
Get ready to go on a journey. This restaurant offers a collection of taste you didn’t know you need. Seriously, if you haven’t been to The Magpie by now, you must make that reservation and try it out. I always get the smoked duck, the pork belly, and the dak galby. And the bread is a no brainer. What are you waiting for?
Amazing atmosphere. Staff were very friendly. They accommodated us as we needed. Food and desserts were out of this world! Totally recommend and would make it a regular thing

Made reservations for a Saturday night about a week in advance. Highly recommend making reservations as there's limited seating and it's a very popular restaurant. Arrived right in time and they had the table as expected. Melissa was our server and she did a great job throughout the meal. She gave some good advice and recommendations.
Not required, but they do appreciate you ordering everything at once and they'll pace it out. Ordered the Bread and the Roasted Beet & Persimmon Salad for appetizers, Dak Galbi and the Ravioli for main courses, and Butter Cake for dessert. They did a great job bringing each course with perfect timing. Never felt rushed as they give you plenty of time to eat and chat during each course.
Food was outstanding. Surprise hit was the Bread. Almost didn't order, but so glad I did. Both Dak Galbi and Ravioli were equally as good. There were other menu items that I definitely have to try now. I'll definitely be making reservations in the next few months to come back again.

I went on a Thursday and sat at the counter. Had the duck and the mushroom ravioli. The wine guy picked out a glass of wine for me. The ravioli served to me was devoid of any mushroom flavor and I was a little upset that I had been served a $20 glass of wine. I feel that if a recommended glass of wine costs more than $16 then the price should be mentioned. I shared my feelings with the server and he apologized but nothing was done. Lesson learned. Satisfaction is not “ALWAYS” guaranteed.
