Knew nothing going in aside from a couple pics I saw on IG. We went with a group of 8 and had a little of everything and it was spectacular. The duck was my favorite, but I got to give a shout out to the evenings special, Fish & Chips. I’m rarely happy with this dish as no one can seem to get it right, but the team at Magpie certainly did, top 3 of all time in my book.

Tables are very close to each other and it's every loud to hear each other. Sitting outside is better. We cancelled our last entree after waiting 20 minutes and then got told the kitchen got confused so I guess it was never going to arrive. Beside that the other dishes were good.

Excellent food.

As we are 18 year downtown residents, it's great when we find a new gem... and oh did we find a diamond last night! Tucked away in a small strip center, and some would say "it's on the other side of the railroad tracks" DON'T let that fool you! Definitely a cozy and smaller restaurant atmosphere and with a nice vibe. Thus make a reservation. Service - GREAT. We ordered two rounds of drinks and each time our waiter looked at the glasses before pouring and one time put a class aside. She was very knowledgeable about the food and wine. Food - 5 stars and elevation comes to mind. We had ZERO issues paying the price point due to the elevation of the meal. we ordered the mushroom risotto.I don't want to attempt to explain the flavors... just try it. we had been told that this was a new dish on the menu, and to give our feed back. here you go, "Don't change a thing"! Yes, that was my outside voice! Bread... why bother writing about bread? It's one of our vices in life. It was as good as any bread we have been served in the US and in Europe... yes Europe. We will be back, 4sure! Thank not for the medal, but the memory.

Have been wanting to come here for months and it did not disappoint. All the dishes were awesome, and our server (ive since forgotten her name but she was great! Brown haired girl with glasses!) even sent out a complimentary glass of sake because we had been inquiring about it. Menu was awesome, space was great, and the vibe amongst everyone was good. A san antonio gem.

Five stars! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly warm and inviting.
​The food is exquisite and the wine selection is perfectly curated. The service is perfect—the staff makes you feel like a guest in their own home and know the menu very well.
​If you want a perfect meal, this is the spot. Highly recommended!

Simply the best in San Antonio if you are looking for quality dining. Call ahead for reservations. I always recommend my Airbnb guests to visit this spot and they love it.

We had an amazing experience at Magpie.
Reserved for a Friday evening, it had great atmosphere overall, cool for datenight or night with friends. We brought our own wine, and had great food overall. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE SMOKE DUCK (we ordered it twice).
We also got carbonara, bread, snapper.
Will be back soon!

Amazing food including incredible vegetarian options. I have a bunch of food allergies and they helped me figure out what I could eat and were so kind and helpful. Already planning to go back!
