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.

The food was excellent. Was skeptical walking into the place but our experience exceeded expectations and the prices are so reasonable considering other places.
I'll try it again. The bread, chicken and pasta dishes were very good. Got the $55 steak and it was not edible with no parts I could chew.

What an incredible meal at Magpie! We visited on a Thursday evening and were able to take advantage of the selected wines that were 50% off. The milk bread was incredible and the butternut squash was perfectly roasted and wonderfully spiced. I can’t say enough about the smoked duck with pickled green beans, so good. We sgared two main courses, the pork belly and ribeye. Absolutely delicious! It was a very memorable meal and we can’t wait to return!!

A not so hidden gem in downtown SA, we visited The Magpie on a Saturday evening. The food absolutely blew our minds! The Dak Galbi is the best chicken dish I have ever had in a restaurant. Words fail to describe their signature butter cake! All the dishes are shareable. We also have the smoked duck appetizer - it was ok, but only because I'm not a fan of lukewarm/cold meat dishes. Overall, the food is simply amazing and different from anywhere else in SA.
Keep in mind, space is extremely limited, so reservations are recommended. The restaurant itself has a no nonsense feel to it, be aware that the tables are quite close to each other. It's not a place to linger and stay by yourself for a while. The star is the food alone!!
Parking: Commo parking lot available.
Kid-friendliness: Not suitable for very small kids.
Magpie is so incredible it’s hard to describe to others. My family has been coming here for the past two years as often as we can because there is no other restaurant that pulls off the flavors that they do here. It’s crazy. Every single thing on this menu is just a ludicrous explosion of flavor. Just order everything. Try everything. You’ll be blown away! Also, Kenzie is the best ❤️❤️

Definitely will be coming back. Kenzie was our server and seated us promptly. Ordered the summer orrecheitte pasta, zucchini pasta, dak balgi, and crispy pork SSAM. The food was impeccably prepared and the service was excellent!

This is hands down my favorite Restaurant ever and I hope they get a star. I recommend it to everyone I meet as a place you can go to for a consistently spectacular dining experience. I have been here about 4 times and my favorites are the bread (it’s just bread, but it’s so good), pork belly and the dak galbi. Getting hungry while writing this. Happy we have these guys in SA!
