This place is AMAZING! The food is absolutely sensational and the service IMPECCABLE! The price is more than worth it,... especially for a special occasion. We arrived with Uber half an hour early and sat outside. We did not expect any service but alovely gentleman named Adam came out, apologized for for not being open, but still offered us water. He came back with water andmenus. Even 20 minutes before officially opening, he offered us beverages which we happily accepted. This was in no wayexpected, but very much appreciated. It was our anniversary dinner and they made it extra special for us. We are very grateful! Read more
I absolutely love this restaurant. Every time I dine there I fall more and more in love. From the food, to the wine to the... service, The Magpie is hands down one of the best restaurants in San Antonio. Read more
Everything we ate was delicious! The menu is creative and very thoughtfully put together. The experience is unique and... intimate. There is bar seating, and a few tables inside, as well as outside. The staff was helpful and patient, as we werenewbies. Definitely recommend! Read more
This is a long review but I love to give places credit when they were as great as this place. I ate here early this evening with... my wife and had to run home to leave a review. Everything I ate here was fantastic. We had the Bread, XO Mushroom, YuringiChicken, Crispy Pork Belly, Chocolate mousse and Butter cake . Bread - Was hesitant to order this because I wanted to trysomething more unique but after trying it, I will order this EVERY time I come here. The milk bread was toasted perfectly andhad the softest interior. The butter w/aged salt set it off. I honestly could eat this all day everyday. XO Mushroom - I don'tknow what to say about this other than it was great. The mushrooms were cooked nicely and the sauce was the bomb. YuringiChicken - It was fried to perfection, super juicy and the chilli/soy/vinegar sauce was great. This is eaten as a lettuce wrapand I ended up dipping my leftover lettuce in the sauce and enjoying it. Crispy Pork Belly - This dish was also fantastic andthe pork belly just melted in my mouth. I should have asked for more kimchi slaw cause it set the pork off but I forgot becauseI was too busy wondering how they got the bok choy on the plate to taste as good as it did. Chocolate Mousse - This dish wasvery rich and perfect for someone who wants a dessert that isn't too sweet but will satisfy the dessert craving. My wife lovesdark chocolate and this was perfect for her. Butter Cake - This was lighter than the mousse and a little sweeter which wasright up my alley. When I think of a dessert after a great meal, this is what I want. After eating there I cannot wait to goback and try the dishes I have not tried yet (and get some more bread!). Every dish we were served was delicious and left uswanting more. Though the food was great, I have to say the people at the restaurant really made the experience much moreenjoyable. They were all so kind, helpful and truly seemed to enjoy what they were doing. Though they were busy, they Read more
Food was alright. Small portion. Staff is super friendly. Eating outdoor was nice but flies are everywhere. Would not recommend... to dine outdoor. Funny thing that nobody really cared about the flies. Went home without stomach issues so that?s a win. Read more
When the chef running the window goes by Chill Pickle it?s really hard to go wrong. The pickle plate was incredibly unique. Each... vegetable hitting different in all the right ways. The smoky mushrooms looks like vegan uni, or some kind of fresh organ, thetexture is amazing, and the level of smokiness combined with chipotle truly satisfies. On to the mains, the pork belly came outfirst. If there was liquid meat genre this dish would win. Not only crispy but it just melted in my mouth and all the juicescoated every surface. The fried chicken dish can easily be a whole sandwich and as the waitress said, the sauce is 10/10.Wrapped it all up with the oxtail ragu and between the three of us we are so full and every flavor was perfectly balanced. Icame to magpie when they first opened and it wasn?t memorable, my second visit to magpie has convinced me to come again andagain. shout out to Nico for convincing me to come and bring my sister and my best friend. Chefs kiss Read more
I'm only angry that we didn't come sooner. Everything was fantastic. Don't miss out on the milk toast. It absorbs the butter... like a sponge. ???? Read more
